05/13/20 • 59 min
In this open hearted and RICH conversation, we talk about growing up in Britain and navigating every day racism. We talk about trying to fit in and find a sense of belonging and competition within the black community. We also talk about what holds people back from being themselves and share some of the nuances of running a business when black. We also talk about the coaching industry and its link to white supremacy (oh yes) and the magic that comes from being able to be yourself, wholeheartedly.
Relax and enjoy and let us know what you think!

S1 Ep8: White silence and why is it so hard to apologise?
Flying solo today as I share a few thoughts of what's been going on behind the scenes, events that have unfolded this week.
I talk about systemic and overt racism, white silence in the wellness communities and friendship circles, why it happens so often and why it is so palpable and painful. The impact of bias reporting in media. I also talk about white women and black women, & the risk of speaking your truth in these friendships. Plus the power of apology and why it's often those closest to us who struggle with these two powerful words the most.
Content warning: In parts of this episode I am discussing overt racism and the murder of 25 year old young black man Ahmaud Arbery. Please be mindful and practice self care if you are BIPOC.

S1 Ep10: Identity and erasure, Polycystic ovary syndrome and navigating mental health as a black woman | Chloe Davies
In this episode broadcast during mental health awareness week 2020 I have the pleasure of being by Chloe Davies Head of PR and Partnerships at MyGWork.
We talk about parenting 2 under 5, reproductive health and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, discrimination in health care services and how that can have a detrimental impact on outcome. We also talk about why prioritising individual mental health and wellbeing in the workplace is important now more than ever, racism in the LGBTQ+ community, true allyship, identity and how Covid-19 can trigger being back in the closet, the impact of not being able to access true freedom and living in your truth. We also explore all of this while navigating mental health while being a black woman.
We cover a lot of important ground so dive on in.
