    Fragrance, Confidence & the Art of Becoming with Elise Wilson

    Most people choose a perfume. Elise Wilson chooses a version of herself. As a beauty editor and lifelong fragrance lover, Elise has built a scent wardrobe for every part of her life. There's a fragrance for work, a fragrance for date night, a fragrance for the gym, and even fragrances that are now permanently tied to specific chapters, relationships and memories. In this episode, Bahar and Elise explore the role perfume plays in confidence, self-expression and daily rituals. From growing up watching her mother apply Chanel and Estée Lauder fragrances, to discovering the scents that make her feel powerful, attractive, joyful or completely herself, Elise shares the deeply personal ways fragrance has shaped her life. Together they discuss scent wardrobes, layering rituals, fragrance compliments, luxury versus dupes, and the perfumes they continue to treasure long after trends have come and gone. This is a conversation about perfume not as a beauty product, but as a daily act of becoming. Key Takeaways Fragrance is often our strongest connection to memory and emotion. Many of our earliest beauty memories are linked to the scents worn by our mothers and grandmothers. Building a fragrance wardrobe allows scent to support different moods, occasions and identities. Fragrance can become a powerful confidence ritual before stepping into the world. Nostalgia can be triggered instantly through scent, both positively and negatively. Signature fragrances become part of how others remember us. Luxury fragrance remains one of the most personal forms of self-expression.

    The Neuroscience and Art of Fragrance: Emotions, Memory, and Personal Rituals

    Fragrance is rarely just about smelling good. It sits much closer to memory, identity, even the way we move through the world. In this conversation, Tik Tok Creator and fragrance aficionado Amy Ebell and Bahar unpack scent as both science and storytelling. Amy is the creator of Amy Nose Scents, a platform exploring the psychology, science and culture of scent, from perfume history to the reason certain smells stay with us so deeply. Her content is for people who love fragrance and want to understand why it affects us, what it stirs in us, and why we form such strong attachments to it. You hear how olfaction links directly to the limbic brain, why certain perfumes feel almost like time travel, and how rituals around scent can shift mood, confidence, and presence. What emerges is a clear idea. Fragrance is not an accessory. It is a tool for becoming. One that can be used with intention.

  8. Hormones, Mental Health and the Microbiome with Srinivas Kamath

    Hormones, Mental Health and the Microbiome with Srinivas Kamath

    This conversation explores the complex and deeply human relationship between gut health and mental wellbeing. Srinivas Kamath shares insights from his research into the gut–brain axis, unpacking how hormones, stress, medication and diet intersect at the microbiome level. We discuss the limitations of current mental health treatments, the growing promise of prebiotics, and why personalised medicine may be the future of emotional and cognitive care. The episode also looks ahead to emerging research in longevity, GLP-1 therapies and the role of the gut in neurodegenerative disease, offering a grounded yet hopeful view of where this science is heading. Key Takeaways The gut and brain operate in constant two-way communication, influencing mood, cognition and emotional regulation. Chronic stress and elevated cortisol can compromise the gut lining, contributing to inflammation and so-called leaky gut. Female hormones shape the microbiome across the lifespan, and gut health in turn affects hormonal balance. Understanding an individual’s microbiome opens the door to truly personalised approaches to mental and emotional health. Many psychiatric medications alter the gut microbiome, which may explain common side effects and variable outcomes. Prebiotics play a foundational role in supporting a resilient and diverse microbiome.For most people, prebiotics are more effective and sustainable than probiotic supplementation alone. GLP-1 is central to appetite regulation, gut signalling and broader metabolic and mental health pathways. The vagus nerve acts as a key communication highway between the gut and the brain.Gut microbiome research is rapidly evolving, with more questions than definitive answers at this stage.
