The Zero Waste Movement
Wednesday Feb 03, 2021
Wednesday Feb 03, 2021
Sustainability is multifaceted, and Zero Waste makes up one of these facets, gaining rapid popularity within the past decade. Whilst achieving zero waste in our highly urbanised and (generally) wasteful society may seem like a great achievement, we should really be worried over how we could abandoned such an environmentally and socially just ancient practice in the first place.
This episode discusses the importance of Zero Waste, the need for us to decolonise the concept to decarbonise our economies and the key ways in which we can shift to a circular economy, with real life examples of how Zero Waste is carried out successfully.

Dear Angry Women
Wednesday Jan 20, 2021
Wednesday Jan 20, 2021
Anger is an emotion that is as important as any other, yet the negative connotations associated to it, coupled with the masculine attributes assigned to the emotion, has exacerbated female inequalities further.
This episode emphasises on the urgency to destigmatise and demasculinise anger so that women are able to practice health portrayal of their anger and work towards creating a more just and safe environment for themselves and other women. Most importantly however, this episode celebrates the legacy of all courageous women that taught the rest of us how to break out of gender stereotypes and start living the life of the woman they wish to be, not what society wants them to be.

Going Beyond Ethical Consumerism
Wednesday Dec 09, 2020
Wednesday Dec 09, 2020
As we become more aware of our collective negative impact on the environment, wide scale emphasis on purchasing locally and from ethical/sustainable brands through the political belief of ethical consumerism has risen. However, many ethical consumers are now starting to question the success of the belief and whether it has resulted in change in the corporate world or whether the problem of unethical and unsustainable production continues to persist but just behind closed doors.
Listen to this episode where I discuss the problems of ethical consumerism, my personal journey with the belief and how we need to find a middle ground between purchasing ethical/sustainable goods whilst also challenging firms/industries to take responsibility for reducing their impact on the planet through consumer activism.

Men's Mental Health Matters Too with Gretchen Hernandez
Wednesday Nov 25, 2020
Wednesday Nov 25, 2020
When a woman joins a department at work that's full of men, she's celebrated as diversity. When a woman prioritises her career over starting a family, or when she juggles family life with work, she's considered strong. When a woman embraces her flaws and is comfortable in her own body, she's looked up to as an example of self-love. But as soon as a man tries to step away from gender roles and redefine his masculinity for himself, people dismiss his efforts because of the notion that men are collectively "too privileged" to be celebrated.
Whilst it's true that patriarchy dominates throughout, very few of us take out the time to understand that toxic masculinity shapes society and that men who don't conform to the traditional masculine image have been suppressed as long as their female counterparts have been. Gretchen Hernandez, a men's mindset coach and host of the My Freedom Grove podcast, works towards changing that narrative through giving a platform to men willing to break out from gender norms, as well as providing a space where men can share their journey with other men. Gretchen is a strong believer that gender equality can only be established when everyone is included and gender stereotypes are abandoned to ensure those that weren't being heard are able to amplify their voices when they are ready.

Reflection: Imposter Syndrome and Jealousy
Wednesday Nov 11, 2020
Wednesday Nov 11, 2020
This episode looks at the intersections between imposter syndrome and jealousy, and how the constant fear of being overtaken, in any part of life, drives many individuals to feel, and a lot of the time act upon, their intense hatred towards others that threaten their happiness/success.
All this results in is long-term instability of the mind and large-scale damage to both the jealous person and the person that they felt jealousy towards (which is exactly what I have experienced). Whilst all emotions are valid to feel, jealousy is that one emotion that needs to be urgently transformed, especially when felt frequently, because it highlights insecurities of an individual that stunts growth and destabilises mental wellbeing in the long term.

Veganism Needs To Be Intersectional
Wednesday Oct 28, 2020
Wednesday Oct 28, 2020
Veganism has sky-rocketed globally in the past few years, as we begin to evolve into more eco-conscious beings through being hyperaware of our impact on the planet. Although, the fundamental principle of intersectionality, along with the culturally rich history of vegetarianism and veganism, is being erased as quickly as the belief is gaining popularity.
This is a massive issue because veganism has gradually become into a radical ideology, often perpetuated by the white, privileged, hipster image of an ideal vegan, that favours animal rights and livelihoods over human ones. Instead of remaining a philosophical belief rooted in equality for all walks of life, it has become, yet again, a breeding ground for white saviourism that fails to embrace diversity and inclusivity, especially for those non-white communities that don't engage in industrial meat and dairy farming but are sanctioned for going about their "non-vegan" ways that not only are a significant part of their culture but are also not environmentally damaging.
This episode aims to redefine veganism by emphasising on the importance of intersectionality through decolonising the philosophy, and reconnecting it back to it's non-colonial roots as a way to say that all lives really do matter, whether human or non-human.

Systemic Sexism and Gaslighting Domestic Violence Victims with Teri Yuan
Wednesday Oct 14, 2020
Wednesday Oct 14, 2020
Domestic abuse cases peaked during lockdown across the world, however this alarming rate of gender-based violence has existed well before the COVID-19 pandemic, disproportionately affecting womxn and children in abusive relationships and households.
When 1 in 4 women in the US experience severe intimate partner physical violence and 95% of victims of coercive control in the UK are women, we can easily see that domestic violence is a product of systemic sexism, where female survivors are giving inadequate support when suffering from intimate partner abuse. This situation is then exacerbated when mothers go to court to accuse their partners of physical and/or sexual abuse of their children, and 57-68% of the time lose custody over their children (in the US) when accused of alienation by the abusive father.
This gaslighting of female domestic violence victims needs to stop, whether in institutions such as the criminal justice systems or in society as a whole. This begins by normalising discussion on sex/gender-based inequities and establishing a culture of accountability to shift the focus from reforming abusers to providing permanent safety nets for survivors.

Reflection: Altruism Gone Wrong
Wednesday Sep 30, 2020
Wednesday Sep 30, 2020
It’s safe to say that we have entered into an “altruistic generation”, one that imposes the need to be immersed in charitable causes on all individuals, attacking those that fail to do so. However, if we were to look around, beyond social media and into reality, can we genuinely see any major change? A significant reduction in suffering? In fact, without sounding too pessimistic, pain and suffering has exponentially risen, world issues continue to be amplified, so really, are we in an altruistic generation?
In this reflection episode, I answer all of these questions by looking at the major flaws in modern-day altruism that has emphasised on documenting acts of selflessness instead of understanding the root cause of social issues to bring about sustainable change. This episode is a call to action for redefining altruism by ensuring the communities/individuals asking for support are prioritised over the altruist.
