The death of George Floyds death in Minneapolis on May 25th has awakened the whole world up to this disease called racism which is so present in our societies today. We now find ourselves speaking openly for the first time about something which has been hidden or not talked about for millennia. I feel that this is one of the most important discussions to be had of our time and in todays episode I have invited my good friend Ingrid Marsh who has personally been fighting against racism for many years of her life. By bringing these issues up to the fore, there's a feeling of hope that change may be possible.

I am joined by Sukhi Sian from Enlight Counselling. I invited Sukhi onto the podcast to talk about a topic that I have been deeply curious about recently. This is the subject of the two energy systems within every human being, referred to as masculine and feminine energy.

I wanted to learn what each of these means, how we can become aware of our own energy and how these play out in modern life and relationships. It’s a huge topic and I don’t even feel as though we touched the surface but what I did realise was that once you learn how it works, it enables you to know yourself better and move more harmoniously through the world and in romantic relationships.

More about Sukhi

Sukhi has been working in supporting roles since she left school.  As a young person she often sensed that there was more to what met the eye; something unseen and unexplained that played a significant role in people's emotions and behaviour.

Sukhi qualified as a psychodynamic counsellor in 2006 and through her studies she explored the development of psychotherapy from a feminist perspective. She has since worked across the Midlands provided counselling to clients of all ages and genders  including children and young people on a range of difficulties such as stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, loss/bereavement, divorce/separation, family change, addictive behaviour, offending behaviour and all types of abuse experienced as a child or later on in life.

Sukhi is also a Clinical Supervisor for Counsellors and more so recently in the last 4 years, through her own life experiences trained in Reiki, crystal healing and Numerology. She recognised the many benefits of such therapies and how they play an important role in healing of the mind, body and the soul - all need to be in harmony for overall well being as she believes one cannot function healthily without the other.

Sukhi’s passion is to support people to heal and grow through self-love and self-care, no matter how little or big this may be, what matters is the difference it makes. Through her work she helps clients on their journey back to themselves; reconnecting with their lost parts, realising their 'true self', exploring who they are and who they want to become in order to live a more authentic life.

In this solo episode I talk about the part that spirituality plays in cultivating a life filled with joy, meaning and purpose. Particularly how this has manifested in my own life.

Many people think about spirituality as being woo woo. I actually think that spirituality is the foundation for success. It’s an anchor which allows you to practically work on your goals whilst remaining focussed and authentic and maintaining a sense of inner peace and wellbeing.

This is a holistic approach to achieving goals and one which I feel if adopted, allows you to be much more resilient in the long run.

In this episode I speak to Simon Michaels, founder of Mindful Work. Simon works with businesses using mindfulness to help resolve contemporary workplace issues such as stress reduction, improve creativity and innovation and better team working.

Simon was led to meditation and mindfulness following a crisis point in his life. Deep reflection and questioning at this time led him to pursue another passion also, for good food and he ended up forming a social enterprise collaborating with seventeen other people. 

Simon travelled all over the country and overseas advising on how to create sustainable food systems and help those on low incomes access good food. His interest in meditation ran alongside and fed into this work and remained a long life passion. Simons spiritual work is rooted in Buddhist teachings and in 2017 he was ordained in the lineage of Namgyal Rinpoche.

This conversation is one I have been wanting to have for a long time and it did not disappoint. If you enjoy pls subscribe, rate and review.

In this episode I speak with Samantha Warren. Sam is a Printed Textiles Designer and founder of accessories brand Samantha warren London. Sam’s vibrant prints inspired by nature have been stocked in Anthropologie, The Royal Academy of Arts, The British Museum and The Fashion Textile Museum in London.

In recent years Sam has also worked with the local community of Croydon. Using pattern to stop people from fly tipping and engaging the community in the creative process to celebrate their local area and promote a sense of belonging.

Being someone from an Asian background, Sam touches upon the nervousness of her parents when she chose a career in the arts, culturally seen as quite an unconventional and unsecure path to take. She also shares the will and passion required to stay in the game for the long haul.

I love Sam's transparency around her career as a designer. As someone who’s had amazing success, she’s so humble and grounded.

Motivation is a key factor in determining success or failure but in order to achieve long term goals it is important to focus on the present. Something which helps me do this and that I adopted a few years ago was a morning routine. Practices that I do each morning to set me up for the day, before facing the world. My morning practices have changed my life in many ways and in this episode I will be sharing these practices with you.

In this episode I chat with Anisha Parmar from Anisha Parmar London.  Anisha Parmar London is a luxury fashion, jewellery & accessories brand that is inspired by the melting pot of multi-cultural London which she describes as a hub for diversity and cultural cross overs with true British culture. 

Anisha’s jewellery is for the bold, confident & badass woman. Her designs have been featured  in Vogue Italia, Vogue India, Elle France, Elle India, Jungle Magazine, the  V&A museum, and even a Snoop Dog music video.

Anisha transparently describes the highs and lows that go with having your own brand including the isolation and what happens when a collection is not successful. Something which we don’t hear often but most designers will face at some point in their journey. The minute I laid eyes on the brand, it was love at first sight and I instantly wanted to know more. I hope you enjoy the episode and if you could kindly subscribe, rate and review that would be awesome.
