Wisdom and Wellbeing With Dr Wannie

In this episode I am joined by academic, researcher and feminist Amy Andrada. She is an expert in her field who's research explores how identity is shaped by gender, parental, and relationship statuses for women.
In this episode we discussed what feminism means in today's society, how feminism is presented online and on social media as well as our own journeys with feminism.
This episode was recorded a few months ago but the matters we discussed are still as important as ever.

Did you know that in the UK people from Black African, African Caribbean and South Asian backgrounds are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes 15 years earlier than Caucasian people. Rates of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the UK, is highest in the South Asian population. Research suggests that experiencing racism can have a negative impact on mental health yet detention rates under the Mental Health Act during 2017/18 were four times higher for people in the ‘Black’ or ‘Black British’ group than those in the ‘White’ group.

In this episode I am joined by Layo Soruna, president of the Newcastle University Racial Equality in Medicine Society as we unpacked why these disparities exist and what we can do about them.

Confidence is something that most of us have struggled with at some point in our lives. It's one of those things that to some people seems to come so ready and naturally which can easily lead to feelings of comparison and inadequacy. Thankfully it is definitely something that can be worked on and improved to allow you to live your best life being the full version of you. 

In today's episode I was joined by Lauren Claire - a business and confidence coach as we delved into what it truly means to be confident and how to get there.  We shared our own journey's with confidence and shared hacks on how to appear confident, even when you might still feel a long way off.

We also discussed common pitfalls people end up in when starting their fitness journey and how to avoid them.

Body positivity, fat acceptance, health at every size? What do all of these mean? Are they relevant to me? All these are the types of questions I had in my head when I started to analyse my own attitudes towards fat and how it was impacting my self image and impacting how I treat others. Thankfully during my research I came across the blogs of the wonderful Michelle V Scott who was kind enough to agree to come on to the episode and talk to me about it all in more depth.
