In this episode, we explore the contrasts and common threads in workplace and personal well-being between the UK and Mauritius.

Drawing from years of experience supporting organisations and individuals in the UK and now connecting with professionals in Mauritius, I share some of the cultural attitudes, pressures, and practices that shape how we work, rest, and manage stress.

We’ll look at:

🌍 The unspoken differences in workplace culture and expectations 🧘🏽‍♀️ How pace of life and environment impact wellbeing 💡 What each culture might learn from the other to support healthier, more sustainable ways of working

Whether you’re a business owner, leader, or just curious about how wellbeing shifts across borders, this conversation offers some meaningful reflections.

Mindfulness isn’t just about breathing exercises or staying calm under pressure. And it’s definitely not about zoning out or toxic positivity.

In business, we’ve reduced mindfulness to a wellness “add-on” - something you do in a break room or after hours. But real mindfulness is far more powerful than that.

In my latest podcast episode, I unpack:

• What mindfulness really is (and what it’s not)

• Why businesses often miss the mark when they try to “do mindfulness”

• How awareness, clarity and emotional regulation are essential leadership skills

• What it looks like to embed mindful practices into culture, not just campaigns

This one’s especially for anyone leading teams, shaping culture, or trying to do things differently without burning out.

Toxic workplaces drain your energy, shake your confidence, and leave you questioning your worth. And if you’ve been there - you’re not alone.

In this episode, I share my personal story of working in a high-stress, toxic environment, the signs I ignored, the impact it had on my wellbeing, and how I reached the edge of burnout. I also talk about the tool that helped me find clarity and reclaim control: mindfulness.

But this isn’t just about me. It’s about what so many of us face - especially women in demanding leadership roles and how we can begin to shift from survival to sustainability.

You’ll hear:

• The real signs of a toxic workplace (beyond just bad managers)

• Why mindfulness isn’t a quick fix, but a powerful way to come back to yourself

• Practical steps to protect your energy and reconnect with your values

• A reminder that you don’t have to prove your worth by pushing through pain

Whether you’re in the thick of it or reflecting on a difficult chapter, this episode offers hope, perspective, and permission to choose yourself.
