Okay, here we go. This is the final episode of Season 1!

And it covers a subject very close to my heart. Sobriety.

Having got 2 + years of sobriety under my belt, I've wanted to talk about this for some time. And what better person to speak to that one of the first sober people I met on my recovery journey!

Mikaela is a recovery coach and also runs Recovery with Me, which is an amazing youtube channel and can be found on all the socials too (tagged below). Mikaela aims to help normalise and promote a positive alcohol-free lifestyle and to make it more accessible by sharing my own thoughts and experiences

We talk about:
- Mikaela's sobriety journey

- What life was like before sobriety and how it's changed

- Addictions are usually but a symptom of a deeper issue. We discuss if this is true.

- What challenges Mikaela faced through sobriety

- Whether  she feels more or less connected to her authentic self now

- Is connection the opposite of addiction? (Big shout-out to The Recovery Elevator here!)

- What positive things Mikaela noticed since getting sober

In the penultimate episode of Season 1, we speak to the incredible Camile Minerbo about soul connection.

Cami is the host and creator of The Blossom Experiment, a podcast that discusses authenticity, intuition, and intuitive living. Her purpose is to help others flow inwards so they can trust their inner guidance and create a life that feels fulfilling to the soul. 

Cami is also a member of the Dandelion Social team! We met when Dandelion Social formed into a social media agency as she was the first freelancer that I took on. In an amazing turn of events, we actually became really great friends straight away.

This episode is all about connecting with your soul and your authentic soul journey. And Cami is the perfect person to speak with about this - not just because of her career and expertise, but also from her lived experience as you’ll hear in this chat.

We talk about:

• Whether we’re more or less connected now as a society
• How she experiences connecting with others
• What connecting with your soul means
• How you know if you’re aligned with your soul’s purpose
• Manifestation
• More about her podcast The Blossom Experiment
• How we can feel more connected with our soul

In this episode, we're speaking to actress Diana Bermudez about body image and eating disorders.

Around 1.25 million people in the UK suffer with an eating disorder; it's not an issue that seems to be going anywhere.

This is obviously a very sensitive subject matter, and not one Diana or I took lightly as both of us are eating disorder survivors.

Here, we discuss what it's like to suffer with an eating disorder and how to re-connect with your body after. For Diana, she has the added pressure of working as an actress in an industry where looks are everything. Her most recent appearance was as the spectacular Yatzil in the Marvel series 'Moonlight'.

Diana is Colombian, and we delve into how body shape (specifically for women) is a prominent factor in self worth in Colombian and Latino culture. 

This is the first time Diana has spoken about her body image and eating disorder experience, so I'm truly honoured to have been able to facilitate it.
