  • 35 - A Chit Chat with Charly Bourne - Working towards a bright future

    On the latest episode of the Chit Chat podcast, I had the pleasure of conversing with my dear friend, Charly Bourne. Charly shared insights about her work in sustainable horticulture at RHS Bridgewater and emphasized the importance of individual efforts towards a sustainable lifestyle for a better tomorrow.

    We delved into the topic of climate change and the responsibility we hold as a society to make positive changes for a brighter future. Our conversation then shifted to our personal journeys with mental health and how understanding the workings of our mind has contributed to a more positive outlook on life.

    I hope you find this episode as enjoyable to listen to as I did to have.

  • 34 - A Chit Chat with Pablo Meccano

    I had a beautiful conversation with Pablo Meccano. A coach, and writer, with a depth of insight on how we are always present in the moment and how life can be exceptionally wonderful when we experience it from this space. Pablo shared some of his personal health challenges and how he is helping his body to heal from a diagnosis of prostate cancer. I felt humbled by the way Pablo approaches his experience of cancer as a portal to understanding himself and his spiritual life more deeply and how by using "nature's pharmacy" and psychedelics he is offsetting the side effects of powerful, yet damaging Western medicines. We also discussed our shared appreciation of playing the bass guitar and his love for writing science fiction stories. I hope that you enjoy this episode.

  • 32 - A Chit Chat with Donna Mackenzie-Smyth - No f*cks given

    I had a fantastic conversation with Donna Mackenzie-Smyth about her experiences of navigating menopause while recovering from a stroke.

    We discussed the positives and negatives of those experiences and how she's had to adapt her life to her new needs while not letting anything stop her from being who she is and doing what she loves.

    Donna has developed an artistic project called Scrapheap - made by and for women experiencing menopause to highlight some of the experiences that women go through, but may not discuss.

    At the end of the video episode on YouTube, you will see some images that Donna and her photographer Laura Page developed for the project. You can view the video version of this episode at - https://youtu.be/MGLEf8DkfVc

    You can learn more about Scrapheap on the website - http://www.scrapheap.info/ and connect with Donna over email at donna@scrapheap.info to learn more about upcoming exhibitions and events.
