    Finding Peace in an Overthinking Mind | Riya Naskar

    In this episode of Finding My User Manual, I sit down with multidisciplinary artist, designer and creative leader Riya Naskar for a thoughtful conversation about anxiety, overthinking, self-awareness, trust, creativity and what it means to build a life that feels peaceful and authentically aligned. Together, we explore how creativity can become a tool for reflection, self-compassion and emotional processing, especially when your mind has a habit of running ahead of you. Riya shares how her artistic practice helps her make sense of anxiety, navigate uncertainty, reconnect with herself and create space for curiosity, peace and personal growth. We also talk about trust, letting go, advocating for yourself in creative spaces, the relationship between science and art, and Riya’s unexpected journey from zoology into an international creative career. Along the way, we unpack what deep human connection really feels like, why lifelong learning matters, and how recognising the physical and emotional signs of peace can help us understand ourselves a little better. Whether you’re a creative, an overthinker, navigating anxiety, changing direction in your career, or simply trying to live more authentically, this conversation is a gentle exploration of what happens when we stop forcing ourselves into someone else’s version of a life well lived. TOPICS DISCUSSED • Anxiety, overthinking and learning to recognise your own patterns • Creativity as a tool for self-reflection and self-compassion • Trust, detachment and knowing when to let go • Building deeper, more meaningful human connections • Self-awareness and understanding what peace feels like in your body • Advocating for yourself in creative and professional spaces • Science, creativity and curiosity • Multidisciplinary art and developing an authentic creative practice • Lifelong learning, languages and following your curiosity • Creating space for rest, reflection and personal growth • Living authentically FIND RIYA NASKAR Instagram: www.instagram.com/riyanaskarstudio/ Website: www.riyanaskar.studio Artist Residency: www.twotwentytwo.space ABOUT TIGZ RICE Tigz Rice is an empowerment photographer and videographer based in London, UK.

    The Art of Making People Feel Seen | Ruby Martin on Hospitality, Performance & Closing Fontaine's

    What if true hospitality has nothing to do with cocktails, and everything to do with making people feel seen? In this episode of Finding My User Manual, I sit down with Ruby Martin - founder of the iconic East London cocktail bar Fontaine's - for an honest conversation about hospitality, creativity, performance, entrepreneurship, and the bittersweet reality of walking away from something you've spent over a decade building. Before creating one of London's most beloved cocktail bars, Ruby spent fifteen years performing on stage as an actress and cabaret artist. Together, we explore how performance never really ended - it simply evolved into the art of creating unforgettable experiences, building genuine human connection, and making strangers feel like they belong. We talk about what hospitality can teach us about empathy, why creativity is so deeply intertwined with human connection, the emotional labour behind making people feel special, and how to recognise when it's time to let go of one chapter in order to begin another. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that the greatest legacy we leave behind is often how we make people feel.
