July 22, 2022 Episode 64: Mastering The Art of Imperfection with Ria Ima aka Ria Davidson
In this episode, the main focus is how we can master the art of imperfection. I discuss the artistry of creativity, the reality of of being an independent artist, the balancing act of the corporate and creative worlds, the many faucets of mental health, self esteem, courage and soooo much more with the talented Ria Davidson, aka Ria Ima.
We refer to the old saying of 'being a jack of all trades' and even after the post-recording of this episode, we still refer back to the full phrase which is “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” By fully embracing the essence of being a master of imperfection in our attempts of simply being brave enough to try something out, we are able to embrace the learning of getting it wrong in order to get it right by our own standards.
Ria Ima is an independent artist from North Wales flitting between the corporate and creative worlds through the medium of writing, music, video and art.
With a strong interest in mental health and human evolution, Ria is on a journey of exploration that powers her ideas and artistry.
Her first single ‘Excuses’ and its accompanying video, both released in 2021, is an outburst of emotions that expresses her experiences with social anxiety and the impact it has on relationships and friendships.
As a self-taught artist and singer, she is an advocate for the journey being the most joyful part of any learning process, something she herself had to learn as she battled that human need to be so called ‘perfect’.
Make sure you listen to her beautifully crafted vocals and music production, follow her on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok

January 21, 2022 Episode 61: Enjoy A Warm Embrace on National Hug Day
In this episode I pay homage to National Day of Hugging. We take for granted the proximity we have wither those around us. Many people do not or are afraid of closeness since the Big C hit back in 2020.
I share some insight into the benefits of hugging from an emotional, mental and social level and how you can use visualisation to get you through those tough times when there is nobody around to hug. I encourage self compassionate hugging and challenge you to go and hug a friend, partner, neighour (with consent) and to enjoy the exchange and embrace while you can.

I rounded off the episode with some very fitting reminders from our advice and encouragement card deck (available to purchase again from our shop in early 2022):
1. Learn to be accepting of the things that are building you. They may not look how you envisioned them
2. If you did it once you can do it again. You possess the strength of a 1000 of you
3. Learn to appreciate the value of a pause. This allows you to be free to just exist

In this episode we are joined by the lovely Priscilla Vivian from Vivify Therapy and Counselling, talking all about how we can best support ourselves mental and emotional wellbeing as we approach the seasonal holidays.
As we well know that the holidays look very different for us all, we had a detailed discussion about how Christmas can be triggering and challenging for many. Ranging from family disputes, budget finances, service closures and the human disconnection we can face.
Priscilla gave some sound advice on how to spot signs of where boundaries can be strengthened in your relationships, developing a compassionate mindset and ways to self regulate while therapist/mental health support services are closed.
She leaves us with some powerful self care tips and nuggets of knowledge for those of us who may struggle at this time of year.

December 10, 2021 Episode 58: Can you have constructive conflict resolution?
In this episode I talk on some of the insights of conflict resolution that I have learnt along the way of my journey to opening up my self esteem and learning newer and healthier ways to address conflict.
There are so many sources that provide tips and tools on how you can embrace constructive conflict as part of your ability to communicate, have healthy debate, find solutions, explore issues in a variety of relationship settings.
We won't always agree on things but this podcast really hones in on the importance of respect, accountability, boundaries and increased understanding and awareness.
I round off the episode with some very fitting reminders from our advice and encouragement card deck (available to purchase again from our shop in early 2022), read in this order:
1. Love comes in many forms. The most important is the way you display compassion and affection towards yourself
2. Be scared and do it anyway. Nothing great was built on mediocrity and passiveness
3. Write down your emotions and thoughts. Blank pages will never judge you

In this episode, I was joined by Simone Ujah from The ReEducation Podcast, discussing Birthing Stories for the topic of the #notyourstatistic campaign to change the stigma attached to young parenting.

November 12, 2021 Episode 56: Kindness is my currency
In this episode I share some #lettersofselflove in honour of World Kindness Day. I speak on the different acts of kindness you can get involved in to share and spread kindness through your currency.
I provide some brief bits of information on the science behind kindness with the 4 main hormones that are relative to kindness and why you should give your daily D.O.S.E (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins) of kindness because doing good leads to feeling good and it really is contagious!!!
