Mind Pretty Soul Hafsa Issa-Salwe

It's just me in this episode, and it's an interesting one to say the least! I take you through my day as I open my naturopathic health and beauty clinic, Botanical Mission. Expect to hear sounds of the London underground (get the Girls Aloud reference?), a few special guests including the FIRST man on Mind Pretty Soul and many fluff ups - this isn't your usually polished and well-edited episode!

In this episode, I’m joined by Schae Graham, who you’ll remember from the episode titled Self-Care, Wellness and it’s Cultural Nuances.
It was criminal to not release the full interview seeing as we had a lovely chat about our beauty and self-care routines, fitness and body image. Our conversation around body image was particularly interesting. We touched on the pressures to be thicker when you’re someone who’s slim. We also touch on the idea of body neutrality and just being okay with your looks at the very leasts

In this episode, I’m joined by Sabrina Mubiru, who is the epitome of self-care and wellbeing.
"Why?" I hear you ask. Well... she's been an NHS nurse for 10 years and 5 years a midwife, and she's fully into the holistic side of things. Whether it's reformer pilates, acupuncture, herbs and supplements, alternative therapies, gut health or anything that'll make her glow, she's all over it.
In this episode, Sabrina and I cover everything from her experience being a key worker during the peak of the pandemic to why we're committed to being soft life babes. No more “strong black woman” trope!
Check out Sabrina’s e-book, the link to which I’ve put in the show notes. She talks about CBD, herbs and nutrition for mood, sleep and anxiety. How to alleviate period cramps and more - https://www.lifestylewithsab.com

On the cusp of the big 3-0, I released “Leaving our 20s and Loving our 30s with my Girlfriends” to reflect on the years that are now behind us as well as those that we’ve yet to experience. Having turned 30 now, this episode is all the more precious to me.
In this snippet, my girlfriends and I touch on everything from marriage to motherhood to mental health.
