In this episode, I’m overjoyed to say I am talking to Lodro Rinzler, a meditation teacher who has taught Buddhism for 20 years, starting when he was just 18 years old.

Lodro is the author of six meditation books including the bestseller The Buddha Walks into a Bar; and is the co-founder of the MNDFL meditation studios in New York City.

Lodro’s work has also been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Good Morning America, CBS, and NBC.

Not only that, but it’s difficult for me to overstate how much of an impact Lodro has had on my career and understanding of how to apply the principles of mindfulness, meditation & Buddhism to my life.

He has - I hope he won’t mind me saying - become somewhat of a mentor to me, and has been my teacher on 3 separate training courses over the past few years, including on the principles of Buddhism and Buddhist theory - which was totally fascinating and very important to me as someone who originally came at meditation and mindfulness from a very secular, scientific point of view.

He has also been my teacher on 2 meditation teacher training meditation courses I have completed, including shamatha mindfulness meditation, and metta, loving-kindness meditation.

He is also extremely wise, and has managed to maintain a real sense of humour and approachability, despite being extremely learned in the principles of Buddhism and Buddhist theory.

I am totally honoured to have him on the episode today - and it also includes the most Buddhist definition of “being a badass” that I have ever heard, so you do not want to miss it!

This week, I’m talking to Charlotte Faure Green, a registered nutritional therapist who specialises in anxiety, stress, life burnout and sleep disorders.

Her approach is science and research-lead. It’s science - but with a cuddle.

As a chronic illness and burnout survivor she has walked the path herself, and intimately understands the challenges of staying well in body and mind in our fast-paced world.

She advocates real-world sustainable changes, focussing on getting the right things into your diet rather than stripping away the things that you love.

In this brilliant conversation, we chatted:

• What to eat to ease anxiety and feel happier
• Why there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to eating and health, and how to find out what really works for you
• Why demonising any food group or type of food is never the right approach
• Why intermittent fasting might not be the best choice for people with anxiety
• How to totally reframe your view on food, exercise, healthy eating, and your relationship with your mind and body
• The emotional side of eating, and how to navigate it while staying healthy
• How to stop seeing exercise or fasting as “punishment” for eating food you love
• How to prioritise vitality and health instead of weight loss
• And...the perfect breakfast routine and the best time to drink coffee (no, you do not have to give it up unless you want to!) 

We also talked about how none of us are perfect when it comes to food and health, and how Charlotte stays healthy while juggling life as a business owner, mum, partner, night owl, and busy human!

This week, I’m talking to Sofia Latif, founder of Sofia Latif Oils, a “pro-aging”, award-winning vegan skincare and wellbeing company, which gives women the confidence to show off their skin and hair as these change with age.

Sofia’s approach to beauty helps women to build a kinder relationship with themselves, and uses 100% pure plant oils and nothing else that are selected for their nourishing, regenerating, and anti-inflammatory powers.

In this episode, we talked about:

• Sofia’s journey from having stress-related eczema on her face and suffering from a real drop in confidence, to transforming her skin and outlook using oils, and starting a business to help others do the same
• How to embrace your skin and hair no matter what stage of life you’re at, and how to be “pro-aging” - because frankly, the alternative to aging is a heck of a lot worse, let’s be real
• How to create your own, daily mindful skincare ritual using beautiful oils that smell and feel wonderful, and carve out your own de-stressing evening routine
• How taking care of your skin and hair can help improve your relationship with yourself
  
• How to look at yourself the way you would a friend - with kindness, and no judgement
• And the importance of finding the balance between taking care of your skin and hair and seeing it as a barometer for health - but not getting obsessed or negatively caught up in it

We also talked about the glorious TV trash that is Selling Sunset, our mutual love of houseplants and obsession with home decoration shows.
