Hi Resilient Sunshine, We tend to think of breakups as romantic endings. But the hardest breakup you’ll ever go through? It might not be with a person. It might be with a job that’s slowly draining you. A city that never felt like home. An identity you outgrew years ago. Or a version of yourself you created just to keep other people comfortable... and you know what? You're allowed to leave! When Life Knocks You Down (More Than Once) I recently sat down with Pacharee who has survived what most...

Hey Sunshine! "Community is essential. But if you hand over the keys to your joy, you'll starve." I spent an afternoon with Simon, my second 1-2-1 interview for the pod. He's lived more lives than most of us will in three: raised by women in times none of us can recall about London, he embraced a career change from operations and management to become a therapist when people usually go for retirement. I went in expecting to ask him about resilience and career changes. What I left with was...

Hi Resilient Sunshine! You know that moment when you feel that you don't quite fit in, that no matter how much you get done, it still doesn't feel right? It gets worst before it gets better. And sometimes this brings us the awareness we need to get the ball rolling for the adjustments or attunement we need. Are we broken? I've sat down with Hedi Shah, a Canadian-Iranian living in the UK who has moved away from a career in Urban Design to be the amazing Bodyworker and Mindfulness Teacher I get...

Hi Resilient Sunshine! You know that moment when you feel you've been chasing your tail for a while, then finally have an epiphany? That's the type of good year I'm talking about! So Happy Fudging New Year! Just before we logged off for the holiday season, I've hosted a Christmas special like no others... we spoke about taboo but essential topics in our society, and I'm honoured to have hosted yet another fantastic panel of talented business women. They have demonstrated what resilience means...

Hi Resilient Sunshine! This December, I’m living in Asia and I’d like it spicy, please! If you're not as lucky to be somewhere warm, here's a tip: take a look in the mirror at the amazing light you shine! That should fire you up. I've cooked up a special end-of-year live episode just for you, with an intimate conversation... about intimacy! Make sure to register and send me your questions for the experts: Cindy Gallop, Katie White and Carla Crivaro. It is exciting to go deep (no pun...

Hi Resilient Sunshine! Has your local store already started putting advent calendars on the shelves and testing the festive playlist? As much as most people think it's insane, I can't help but love this end of the year season... WAIT! Here me out... It's a lot to do with loving gatherings and get togethers, moments shared with people around the same intention: good food, good company, festivities, and true connections. With or without family (a community doesn't always need to be tied by...

Hi Resilient Sunshine! If your past month has been anything like mine, it’s probably been a whirlwind. After “Summer holidays”, and “back to school”, here's to “fall”, “Halloween”, and “Black Friday”… we like to slap seasonalities on things… The truth is, there’s something peaceful in bringing order to chaos. Having these labels can sometimes provide a comfort blanket to phases of our lives where we’re not feeling in control. But... You don't have to stay in survival mode at all time....

Hi Resilient Sunshine! Can you take more of the Back To School mundanities? I know I was done before it even started... so this month's update is short and to the point. September, for me, is the occasion my birthday was forgotten in favour of class-books shopping...yikes. So I'm celebrating differently now ;) Turning 35, I've set myself the challenge to shake off bad vibes and publish a new meditation track per day for 35 days. This can give you the opportunity to join me for a mindful...

Hi Resilient Sunshine! Sometimes you meet some people, and you don’t know exactly why. Our environment is a reflection of ourselves, the good, the bad and the ugly parts. Its power? When we start understanding the role of our connections in our growth, present, past and future. For so long, I had let my life depend on forced connections, anxious to be loved, recognised and find completion and wholeness in others, in work, in any other external things. That said, re-centering doesn't mean...
