    An Interview with Ashani Dante, on Identity, Belonging and 'Flourishing' as an Entrepreneur!

    In today's episode, I had the honour of interviewing someone I greatly admire, Ashani Dante. Ashani is the Founder of Flourish Journey (previously Flourish Girl). She is an ex-speech pathologist, TEDx Speaker, and an Australian-accredited Accredited Facilitator. Her passion originated from being a speech pathologist, where she empowered children with various communication disorders to find their voice. Towards the end of 2016, she found that the rate of depression, anxiety and eating disorders amongst teenage girls were on a rise and it was in that moment that she found herself shifting her passion and focus towards giving teenage girls a voice. In this episode, we talk about her childhood, her connection with her lineage, the importance of spirituality in her life, and most importantly her journey of starting Flourish Journey! Intrigued? Listen in!

    Self Care & Self Love

    Booking a getaway and taking a bubble bath are some of the ways we have seen 'self-care' and 'self-love' being depicted, however, not all of us have vacation days to book a trip and not all of us have bathtubs at home. What are some other ways, then, that we can incorporate self-care? In this episode, I share some tips I have incorporated into my life, routine, and thinking that have helped make a difference because as someone wisely said,' Self-care is the greatest middle finger of all time.'
