Climate change is happening, and it can feel frightening when we read about it, but in today’s conversation Arizona helps us all understand that we have the power to take action and just how we can do it! This week’s slice of wellbeing is with activist, model and founder of Dirt charity, Arizona Muse. She’s one of the fashion sectors most highly regarded champions for sustainability. DIRT works to regenerate soil by supporting the Biodynamic Farming movement, and has already partnered with brands such as Vrai, Anya Hindmarch and Weleda on projects around the world. Soil isn’t really thought of as a particularly interesting or sexy topic, however, you might change your mind after this week’s episode of The Live Well Be Well Podcast. Alongside this we cover Arizona’s childhood, the moment that sparked her interest in activism, and what biodynamic farming and greenwashing are.  After this you’ll feel a huge leap into becoming more conscious consumers. A really interesting episode, one not to be missed. All Plants, will help you not only make a positive impact on your health but also the planet! I have found a frozen plant based meal, which is not full of preservatives but actually jam packed with real nutrient packed food and it delivers between 2-4 of your 5 a day! As said by GQ, 'Vegan or otherwise, you’ll be hard-pushed to find a frozen meal that tastes quite as nice as AllPlants.’ They are not only good for you but great for the planet and make your life quick and easy when it comes to meal times.

Have you heard the term Sensory Wellness? Do you know how to connect to your inverse? How many senses other than sight, smell, sound, touch and taste do you know? Ari Peralta is a neuroscientist, a Forbes recognised innovator and award-winning sensory designer. Ari transitioned into neuroscience after his own trauma lead him to pivot his whole career to where he’s at now - working alongside others to create wellness-led sensory initiatives across a wide range of industries. What is sensory wellness, you might ask? It’s going beyond the usual 5 senses and looking at how we can create healthier and happier environments,  enrich experiences and also promote self-awareness in the real world and web3 aka the Metaverse. Research shows that engaging the senses can help strengthen patients emotional wellbeing and support healing, including easing feelings of depression and anxiety.

Welcome to Live Well, Be Well, Season 9 hosted by Sarah Ann Macklin. This podcast that brings you your weekly slice of wellbeing. In this episode I speak to Alex Light, an author, activist of body positivity and self-confidence influencer. After struggling from various eating disorders, Alex now speaks openly about her personal battle with diet culture, body confidence and fighting beauty standards. She’s recently written a Sunday Times Bestselling Book, “You Are Not A Before Picture”. We delve into how perfectionism can cause us to look for the perfect version of ourselves even at the detriment of our own mental and physical wellbeing, and how we can truly let go of the high standards women are meant to withhold in the face of beauty. This episode contains topics including eating disorders and sensitive issues surrounding body weight and image, which could be triggering for some individuals.

Welcome to episode 1 of Season 9 of Live Well, Be Well, hosted by Sarah Ann Macklin. This podcast will bring you your weekly slice of wellbeing. We’re kicking off series 9 with one of Britain’s best-loved comedians, David Walliams, OBE. Little Britain, his creation with Matt Lucas, won numerous international awards including three BAFTAs, and now plays in over 100 countries. But he’s not just a comedian. He swam the English Channel in 2006 raising over £1m for the charity Sport Relief and then in 2011 he swam 140 miles along the length of the River Thames, which raised more than £2m. He’s also been a judge on the ITV talent show Britain’s Got Talent since 2012 alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon. David turned his hand in 2008 and started writing children’s books. Since then he’s become a best-selling children’s author, with his novels having been translated into 55 languages, selling 50 million copies worldwide. Some of his books have been adapted into television films or for the stage, such as the Royal Shakespeare Company’s acclaimed musical production of The Boy in the Dress. In this episode of Live Well, Be Well, we talk to David about happiness, what it looks like for him today and the journey he’s been on to find it. We hear out about his process when writing, his inspirations and the message he’d like people to take from the stories. He also discusses how having become a father in the past 10 years has affected his life and happiness, he shares some stories including one about Kanye West & Elton John and of course, some of his favourite jokes.
