Ep 170: Smashing The Patriarchy With Angela Saini

Ep 174: At This Big Age featuring Falguni Vasavada

My guest in the last episode of At This Big Age is a woman that I've admired for some time. Dr Falguni Vasavada literally brightens up my social media feed as well as giving me food for thought. Based in Ahmedabad, Falguni is a professor in Strategic Marketing, a fashion blogger,  and a body positivity advocate.  She talks to me about the importance of breaking gender stereotypes, how she deals with negativity, and why she's more content than ever at the age of 49.

Ep 173: At This Big Age featuring Deepa Sapra

"The only thing that's permanent is change". A phrase that my guest in this episode keeps at the forefront of her mind. It's a phrase that can be applied to our attitudes towards ageing too. Deepa Sapra is a Yoga Therapist and Empowerment Coach and she joins me in this third instalment of my special podcast series 'At This Big Age'. Deepa tells me about her yoga came into her life, what it means to her, and how she uses yoga to look after her mind, body and soul. We talk a lot about looking inward, centring ourselves, life lessons and motherhood. I learnt a lot from this episode and hope you do too.

Ep 172: At This Big Age featuring Suzi Grant

In the second part of At This Big Age I speak to the fabulous Suzi Grant - a broadcaster, instagram influencer, a qualified nutritionist, and the author of three health books. As well as top tips for staying healthy as we age, Suzi shares her life lessons with me, talks about how moving from London to Brighton fulled her passion for fashion, and how she is embracing her age at 74.

Ep 171: At This Big Age featuring Huji Hayre

It's been a while but I'm back with this four part birthday special. Yes I'm turning 45 this week and to celebrate this momentous occasion I decided to speak to four wonderful, beautiful and inspirational women who are ageing the way I want to age....with style, with purpose and with confidence. In this episode I speak to Make Up Artist and Pro-Ageing Influencer Huji Hayre, AKA The Grey Indian. We discuss the fine line between self-improvement and self-acceptance, how Huji decided to ditch the dye and embrace her grey hair, and how being an older mum took it's toll on her body.

Ep 170: Smashing The Patriarchy With Angela Saini

We often hear the saying "it's a mans world" but who made men the boss of everything? How did patriarchy seep its way into so many cultures? and how can we as women deconstruct this to gain back the power that is rightfully ours? My guest this episode is award winning journalist, broadcaster and author. Angela Saini. Her latest book 'The Patriarchs: How Men Came To Rule' was published in spring this year, and is a finalist for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing. In this eye opening and thought provoking conversation, Angela breaks down the themes in her book, we discuss South Asian culture and patriarchal traditions, and what feminism means to us.
