How do you find yourself when you're stuck between two cultures? Alya Mooro was born in Cairo, Egypt and grew up in London, UK.

Have you sat on your couch and asked yourself that question? “Why is it SO hard to achieve my goals?” I’ve thought about this a lot in recent months. Both in my work with clients and my personal life, I’m constantly setting and working towards goals. It’s part of my language and everyday life. I’ve got the tool belt fully stocked: time management, planning, productivity, prioritising, stationery hacks, the best apps. You name it, I’ve got a growth hack to help you get there. So why did I wake up a few months ago and say, “Fuck. Why am I not there yet? Why is it so hard?” I had goal-setting burnout. After a long afternoon putting the world to rights with friends over coffee, it dawned on me. In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing the HARDEST part about setting goals - showing up with no results. If you can relate, see this as a serious sign and encouragement to keep going.

Eeeek - not wanting kids, or not wanting them YET, is a topic full of stigma in society. It's 2018. In the UK, women have SO much more choice than we used to.

I am honoured to share this conversation with Mel Wells today! I have admired Mel's work for over a year now. Her first book The Goddess Revolution truly changed my life. So I'm excited to share the conversation I had with her all about her second book, Hungry For More.  The book holds a mirror up to our relationship with food and body image, and how we can use these tools (especially as women) to run away and hide from our true selves. If we heal this relationship and make peace with food, we can unlock inner strength that can transform every area of our lives. So if you're feeling stuck, or you know you need a change, or you just need some encouragement - please listen to today's episode and be as inspired as I was chatting to Mel!

It's not your job to fix people. This has been on my mind a lot lately. Whether it be myself, close friends, family members or clients coming to me stressing about someone else. Someone else's life, someone else's decisions, someone else's circumstance. Empathy can be such a wonderful trait. However, as you know if you are an empath, it can be totally debilitating as well.  Because we tend to attract a certain type of people. I call 'em energy vampires. They suck...literally. They suck all the energy and positivity out of you.  If you can relate, I hope you'll enjoy today's solo episode.

Know yourself - do anything. That's Vasavi Kumar's philosophy.
