Aled from ‘Plastic Free Stamford’ is this week’s podcast guest: he talks of his mission to reduce our town’s plastic use.

Aled shares how his past experiences have always sparked an interest in recycling and protecting the environment. With opportunities for local businesses in Stamford to become ‘Plastic Free Champions’, Aled talks about the changes that local businesses (currently 5 in Stamford are totally plastic free!) have undertaken and what a business can do to be awarded ‘Plastic Free Champion’ status.

This week we are joined by Julie from Baby Nomad. This episode starts with a sharp left turn; discussing Martin Guptill having two toes, before we eventually move on to getting to know Julie and all things ‘Baby Nomad’.

Extremely enthused by her vocation, Julie talks passionately about all aspects of Baby Nomad and how she continues to develop her offering to the parents and babies of Stamford- creating a very special community.

Julie shares with us her classes: from pregnancy yoga, through to baby massage; Mum and baby massage, to family yoga.

Julie trained with the International Association of Infant Massage and has since continued her studies and research. Collating much of that knowledge, Julie has a self-published book which is a simple, fun and effective approach to bonding with your baby through positive touch (links below).

In addition Julie has a range of essential oils for mothers and babies, which are available via the Baby Nomad website (link below).

Alex Wallace: founder and Managing Director of ‘The Mintridge Foundation’, joins Graham and Molly to discuss how her past experiences in sport, and suffering from imposter syndrome and depression, led to her creating the charity in 2015. Alex talks openly about those past experiences - both positive and negative - and how through Mintridge, and the ‘Mintridge Army’, they promote active lifestyle and positive mental health for children and young people.

Alex shares the charity’s plans for this weekend’s very special event - 28 not out. With 28 hours of activities planned in support of The Max Hunter Fund, which has become a very special part of the charity, following Max’s passing in August 2019.
