  • Healthy Humans For Social Change with Sereena Abbassi

    TW: miscarriage/domestic violence


    In this episode, Jess is joined by the honest multidisciplinary powerhouse Sereena Abbassi. From sharing about her personal journey - her complex childhood and journey to becoming a mother - to the difficult yet important process of healing, overcoming pain and acceptance. Jess and Sereena also discuss their political home, challenges they find there and how self-righteousness and binary thinking won't get us the solutions we so badly crave. Finally, Serenna gives us an insight into the local democratic system in Bristol, the power of community and the link between spirituality and social change.

  • Healthy Humans For Social Change with Mikaela Loach

    In this honest and transparent episode, Jess is joined by powerhouse and climate justice activist Mikaela Loach.


    Mikaela is a climate justice activist, bestselling author of It’s Not That Radical: Climate Action to Transform Our World (April 2023), co-host of The YIKES Podcast, writer and 4th year medical student based in the United Kingdom. In 2020, Forbes, Global Citizen and BBC Woman's Hour named Mikaela as one of the most influential women in the UK climate movement. In 2021, she was one of three claimants on the "Paid To Pollute" case who took the UK government to court over the huge public payments they give to fossil fuel companies every year. Her work focuses on the intersections of the climate crisis with oppressive systems and making the climate movement a more accessible space.


    In this episode Jess and Mikaela explore what climate justice actually means, how it seeks to tackle the root causes of the climate crisis, how we are all needed and have something to bring to the work and what role our own honesty and vulnerability plays on the journey,


    Mikaela defines what healthy looks to her, the importance of choosing honesty over scarcity and “not pretending to know it all”!

  • Healthy Humans For Social Change with Nora Logan

    T/W: mentions of suicide/crisis/illness



    In this episode, Jess is joined by Nora Logan, in discussing her passion for disability justice including her raw and personal story about why she is passionate about health and wellness.


    Nora is a writer, meditation teacher and the host of the podcast So, Life Wants You Dead, produced in collaboration with Soho House after winning their 'Soho Chance' competition in 2021. 


    In this conversation Nora shares her journey of going through a liver transplant and the recovery process in the face of an ableist and capitalist society. Nora and Jess explore that healthy is a practice more than a state of being, that it is intrinsically complicated in the world we live in and that everything - as always - is interconnected.

It is literally unedited.

    The audio quality isn't amazing - sorry about that! Will be resolved next time.


    I talk about why Patreon, my hope for it and then also talk about (TW - I get raw and explicit) the shooting of Ralph Yarl and what we all need to do.

    In regards to the actions mentioned, see below:

    - Email Prosecutor Zachary Thompson in Missouri [email protected] and demand the immediate arrest of the shooter and that he be charged with appropriate charges

    - Sign up to my course via www.jessmally.com/events

    - Read 'It's Not That Radical' by Mikaela Loach and 'What White People Can Do Next' Emma Dabiri

    - Get organised in whichever way calls to you. One way might be to join your  Local Copwatch Groups

  • Let’s Talk About Colourism - An Honest Conversation
    In this episode, Jess is joined by three wonderful Black women to unpack the topic that is COLOURISM.Colourism is a phenomenon that shows up in the Black community and other communities of colour across the world. It is also very present in media across all forms and understanding and dismantling Colourism is crucial for true social change and authentic diversity.It is not a new phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination and it has - over centuries of white supremacy across the globe - become yet another tool of oppression.Recent events have caused Jess and Cephas to change the regularly scheduled program and dedicate this episode to this conversation.As always, we don’t claim to have all the answers, but we found it important to center the voices of darker skinned women in this conversation and I (hi Jess here ;)) have learnt SO much from listening to their experiences.I hope you will too.Please follow our guests and their work on social media.You can find Aisha on IG:@disneydiariesofablackgirl@theehoshen (her jewellery business)Feven runs an amazing candle business, you can find her on IG:@soyandjoyukYou can find our podcast via the handles below and Jess and Cephas are there too.@thethirdwaypodcast (IG) @thethirdwaypod (twitter)@jessmally @cephasazariahWe also suggested you do some further reading, here the books we mentioned:Do Better - Spiritual Activism for fighting and healing from White Supremacy by Rachel RickettsThe Color Complex: The Politics of Skin Color in a New Millennium
