    The Psychology of Perfume: How Colour, Mood, and Memory Shape the Way We Smell | Ellen Malone

    What if the fragrances you're drawn to have less to do with notes and more to do with who you are? In this episode, I sit down with beauty expert, make up artist and Creator Ellen Malone for a fascinating conversation about the emotional and psychological power of scent. We explore how colour can influence fragrance preferences, why certain perfumes become part of our identity, and how scent can be used as a tool for confidence, transformation and self-expression. From treasured vintage bottles and signature scents to fragrance layering and the stories we attach to perfume throughout our lives, this episode is a masterclass in understanding the deeper role fragrance plays in shaping how we feel and how we present ourselves to the world. Whether you're a fragrance collector, a beauty enthusiast or simply curious about why certain scents move you, you'll discover a new way to think about perfume. @askellenbeautyKey Takeaways Colour can be a surprisingly accurate predictor of fragrance preference. Fragrance is often less about smelling good and more about how we want to feel. Scent creates powerful emotional anchors linked to memory and identity.

    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.

    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.

    Red Carpets, Personal Power and the Hidden Language of Fashion with Dijanna Mulhearn

    In this conversation, I’m joined by  fashion author, researcher and communication expert Dijanna Mulhearn to explore the hidden language of clothing and the evolving role of fashion as a form of personal branding. Together, we unpack how social media has reshaped our understanding of style, why corporate dressing has splintered into new tribes post pandemic, and how celebrity culture continues to direct the global wardrobe.Dijanna brings her signature clarity to the psychology of fashion, the ethics of consumption, and the way clothing communicates power, intention and identity. This is a conversation about authenticity, individuality and the quiet authority of dressing with purpose.Key Takeaways: Fashion is not decoration. It is a communication system that signals identity, values and intention. Corporate dressing has changed, but the fundamentals of clarity and authority still matter. Social media has blurred the lines between inspiration and imitation. What we choose to wear contributes to our personal brand every day. Clothing shapes confidence and behaviour. Celebrity influence remains one of fashion’s strongest currency drivers. Sustainability is no longer optional. It is part of responsible consumption. A strong personal style comes from self knowledge, not trends. Understanding the historical context of fashion gives depth and perspective. The most powerful fashion message is authenticity.

    Stupor Model and the Making of a Woman Who Owns Her Story with Erika Heynatz

    Erika Heynatz has lived many lives on and off the stage. Model. Actor. Singer. Storyteller. In this conversation she opens the curtain on two decades shaped by impossible beauty standards and the constant work of being seen. Now, with her one woman cabaret Stupor Model, she holds the mirror up to the industry that created her. We explore how ageing sharpens self worth, why vulnerability creates a deeper kind of power, and how women can reclaim their desirability on their own terms. Erika speaks candidly about creative reinvention, the pull between visibility and privacy, the joy of performance, and the freedom that comes with embracing menopause rather than fearing it. This episode is a study in female myth making, the male gaze, and what happens when a woman finally tells her own story. Key Takeaways Erika’s journey shows how deeply the beauty myth shapes identity.• Ageing can reveal a richer, more grounded sense of self.• Vulnerability is not weakness. It is an artistic and personal strength.• Conversations about beauty and self worth must start in our homes.• The male gaze influences how many women are taught to see themselves.• Female friendships become stronger through shared life stages.• Menopause is universal and deserves celebration, not silence.• Beauty standards shift with culture, media and technology.• The real superpower is a woman’s unique voice, not her perfection.
