What does it really take to build a successful wellness business without sacrificing your wellbeing along the way?

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur, facilitator and wellness leader Sama Trinder for a deeply inspiring conversation about business, burnout, healing and creating a life that feels aligned from the inside out.

Sama shares her personal story, including one of the lowest points in her life and how she transformed her challenges into a powerful catalyst for growth, healing and purpose. We explore how she went on to create and lead multiple wellness-focused businesses, including the beautiful Bingham Riverhouse in Richmond, London.

We talk about what it means to be an entrepreneur in the wellness space today, how to balance feminine and masculine energies in business, and why sustainable success starts with inner alignment rather than constant striving.

Sama also shares her insights on energy work, yoga, sound, music, movement and joy, as well as the daily rituals that help her stay grounded, present and connected.

Whether you’re building a wellness business, growing a personal brand or simply looking for inspiration to create more peace and purpose in your life, this conversation is full of wisdom and practical takeaways.

Sama Trinder is an entrepreneur and facilitator who creates spaces, experiences and opportunities that help driven people heal burnout, reclaim presence and cultivate more peace, love and sustainable joy. She is the owner of the wonderful Bingham Riverhouse in London.

Through her work across hospitality, wellness and transformational experiences, she is passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and create meaningful, purpose-led lives and businesses.

What if you had to start your business again from zero in 2026? What would you do differently, what would you prioritise, and what really matters in today’s changing business world?

In this solo episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m sharing the five biggest things I would focus on if I were building a business from scratch today. After growing an international wellness brand over the last 20 years, there are certain lessons I know I would take with me straight away.

This episode is for you whether you’re starting a brand new business, growing something already established, or simply wanting to create more freedom, impact and alignment in the work you do.

 This week on The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I am joined by Farah Bashir, founder of Sachi Skin, to talk about a completely different way to understand your skin.

Instead of focusing on traditional “skin types”, Farah explains why we should think about our skin in terms of “skin states” and how this can completely change the way we care for our skin, health and wellbeing.

We also explore the importance of lifestyle, stress management, wellness rituals and inner peace when it comes to healthy, glowing skin.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why the idea of “skin states” is more helpful than “skin types”
• The four skin states and how to identify yours
• How lifestyle and stress affect your skin
• Farah’s personal skin challenges and healing journey
• The inspiration behind building Sachi Skin
• The importance of good skincare and barrier support
• Wellness rituals and habits for healthy skin
• Tips for inner peace, calm and nervous system support
• Blending traditional wisdom with modern skin science

This week’s short solo episode of the podcast is all about the simple habits I stopped doing in my 40s which have genuinely made a big difference to my face, skin and overall wellbeing naturally.

At 44, and after over 20 years of teaching Face Yoga, I truly believe that often it’s the small daily habits we change consistently which create the biggest long-term results for our skin, facial muscles and posture.

In this episode, I share the four things I stopped doing to improve my face naturally:

• Clenching my jaw
• Rushing my skincare
• Overusing facial expressions
• Poor posture

I explain exactly how these habits can contribute to jaw tension, expression lines, neck tightness, skin ageing and facial asymmetry, plus the simple, realistic ways I changed them in my daily life.

This episode is packed with easy holistic beauty and Face Yoga tips which you can start using immediately without spending lots of time or money. If you love natural skincare, facial massage, wellness habits and gentle anti-ageing techniques, this episode is for you.

I also share why slowing down your skincare routine, improving posture and relaxing facial tension can help support healthier looking skin, softer expression lines and a more lifted, radiant appearance naturally.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the four simple fashion rules I follow every spring to help me feel good in my mind and body, while still feeling effortlessly stylish.

As a busy mum and business owner, I need my wardrobe to feel comfortable, practical and easy, but also elevated, feminine and confidence-boosting.

This week’s episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m joined by speaker, researcher and author Dr Giselle Goodwin for a deeply honest and thought-provoking conversation around women, work and wellbeing.

Giselle brings both lived experience and academic insight to this topic. With a PhD in women, work and wellbeing, alongside 25 years of building and selling businesses, she shares a refreshing, real perspective on what it truly means to “have it all.”

Together, we have open and honest chats from our own personal experiences, as well as insights from Giselle’s research.

In this episode, we discuss:

Giselle’s journey through burnout and autoimmune challenges

Building and selling multiple businesses while raising a family

Why she chose to spend five years completing her PhD in her forties

Whether women can really “have it all”

Her latest research on women’s “third job”

The realities of societal pressure and expectations on women

People pleasing and how it impacts our wellbeing

How to create a sense of inner peace and balance

Daily rituals and routines for calming the nervous system

Happiness, fulfilment and redefining success

How we can support and guide the next generation of women

This is a powerful, grounding conversation that will leave you reflecting on your own definition of success, balance and wellbeing.

Dr Giselle Goodwin is the author of Can Women Really Have It All?, a researcher, entrepreneur and mother of two.

Originally from Canada and now based in Cheshire, Giselle blends academic insight with the lived reality of board meetings, school runs and the everyday juggle of modern motherhood.

After co-founding and successfully exiting three companies in healthcare and recruitment, she returned to university in her forties to explore a question many women quietly carry: what does a humane and realistic version of work-life balance actually look like?

She completed her PhD in 2022, focusing on women, work and wellbeing. Today, she supports working mothers to challenge unrealistic societal expectations and create lives that feel sustainable, fulfilling and aligned — without constant self-sacrifice.
