There Are Other Ways: Conversations About Living Life a Little Differently

There Are Other Ways: Conversations About Living Life a Little Differently

Fiona Barrows

There Are Other Ways is a weekly podcast for people brave enough to explore a less well-trodden path in life. Hosted by Fiona Barrows, each episode features an interview with someone who is living life a little differently, and offers support, insight and inspiration for listeners keen to do the same. Whether it's travelling the world, setting up your own creative business, or simply refusing to judge yourself by someone else's definition of success, doing things differently can be scary, lonely and confusing. But hearing other people's stories of how they have done it, and lived to tell the tale, can help. That's what this podcast is for.

This is the last episode of this season of There Are Other Ways but I will be back in January with more conversations about living life a little differently.

This week's conversation is with Sarah Layton from Growthfully. Sarah helps women create joyful gardens that support their mental wellbeing through one-on-one garden coaching and design. She is also the host of the My Garden, My Life podcast in which she talks with women about their relationship with their garden, and many other things beside.

We chatted about how our gardens can support our mental wellbeing, the importance of creating space for ourselves and how this is perhaps counter-cultural to many of us, and how clearing away the weeds can allow the things we really want in our garden to thrive.

This week I'm chatting to slow living blogger, Maddy Lawson. Maddy walked away from academic achievement and a "proper job" to work in a homeware store, and, then, more recently moved to Hampshire to live and work with her husband on a shepherd's hut site. I find her story so interesting, and we had such a great chat about what actually makes us happy, coming up with our own definitions of success, and the joy of slowing down.

There Are Other Ways: Conversations About Living Life a Little Differently - Syreeta Challinger on the healing power of creativity

Syreeta met her now husband Rob while they were both living in Hong Kong. Their life was hectic and moved at a pace, until, in September 2014, Rob suffered a brain haemorrhage and stroke while they were on holiday in Sydney. It turned both of their worlds upside down, and the life they had imagined for themselves exploded into dust.

Yet somehow, out of this intense and traumatic experience, they created light, and Moments of Sense and Style, or MOSS, emerged.

I asked Syreeta about her and Rob's story, and how creativity has helped both of them to express themselves, heal and find a way forward out of the darkness.

This is a really special conversation, and one that I know will stay with me for a while yet - I hope it does with you too.
