In my conversation today, my two guests are Gayatri Muthukrishnan and Sanjana Roa who are co-founders of Miyara, which is a digital community hub that provides support, resources and services for women who are experiencing perimenopausal and menopausal changes and are seeking direction and support with how to adjust and improve their health.

In this episode, Sanjana and Gayatri share their professional and personal experiences with women's health at the midlife stages and their thoughts on how this taboo topic is rarely spoken about - even though it’s a life change that every woman will experience.

Let’s dive into this topic.

Show notes:

Sanjana shared that her favourite book recommendation is Invisible Women by Carolyn Criado-Perez and Gayatri recommended Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg and Dear Female Founder which is edited by Lu Li.

Welcome to Part Two of our conversation focused on Exploring Sustainable Food Systems around the world.

In this episode, we are bringing a whole new meaning to the term “super-grain”. Taking you back to the ancient grains of West Africa that were once labelled ‘lost crops’ and bringing these nutrient-dense, delicious foods back into our food system.

Join us as we discover how ancient grains could be the key to a sustainable food system, a sustainable planet and better health for all of us.

Show notes:

Chef Pierre Thiam, founder of Yolélé Foods and Teranga Restaurants, and author of the new cookbook Simply West African, shared how his experience of living in New York city provided an opportunity and platform for him to share his cultural heritage through his love of food.

We spoke with Joni Kindwal Moore, the founder of Snacktivist Foods and host of the podcast Regenerative By Design. You can find out more about their mission to introduce more nutrient-dense ingredients into our open market by making ancient grains accessible to all by visiting the Snacktivist Website.

We delved deeper into the topic of sustainable foods with Sarah Day Levesque who is the Managing Director of Regenerative Food Systems Investment. Their mission is to work across diverse groups of funders and stakeholders to mobilise more capital for regenerative food and agriculture projects with the goal of connecting regenerative farmers to capital.

If ancient grains are also part of your staple foods, do share your experiences by connecting with us on our social handles. You find us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

In our conversation today, my guest Ana Paula Tediosi shares the impact and the story behind her ‘side hustle’ as the founder of Birdhaus, which during the pandemic transitioned from a female co-working space to a writing and publishing community for women.

Ana wears many hats, including a mother of two, a pharmacist of education, an entrepreneur and an author. Her passion is to show women like her that it is possible to tap into all of your strengths in order to live out your life’s mission and your professional life without compromise.

Show Notes:

The book that changed Ana’s perspective about what was possible for her was "Mrs Moneypenny’s Career Advice for Ambitious Women". The books that she recommends are 'Le Futur Des Espaces’ by Emilie Raffo, ‘Option B’ by Sheryl Sandberg, ‘Ines de Alma’ by Isabel Allende and "Just Breathe - Mastering Breathwork" by Dan Brule.The music that Ana listens to when she needs a boost is her favourite playlist that features music from Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and one of Ana’s biggest ‘power anthem’ recommendations is "Level Up" by Ciara.
