To kick off Founder Stories, a series about entrepreneurs who are passionately supporting wellness in different ways, Claire Warner, the founder of Æcorn inspires us with her journey into creating non-alcoholic aperitifs.In this episode, Claire explains why non-alcoholic choices are becoming so popular, how Æcorn came to be and in what ways she navigates her own mental wellness while building a company, often being the only female in the room and leading by example.A bit about Æcorn:Æcorn is a brand who have created a range of big, bold and expressive non-alcoholic aperitifs. The drinks combine hand-picked English sparkling wine grapes at its base, and is carefully blended with the eponymous acorn for an added dimension of bitterness.

On today’s episode I am joined by the absolutely fascinating, Dr Robert Gilman. Dr Robert Gilman is an astrophysicist, sustainability pioneer and someone who most definitely qualifies as a cultural “change-agent”. He is now on a mission to help communities around the world understand cultural transitions and encourages everyone to embody practices that will lead to a humane and sustainable future.He discusses how this requires more understanding and talks about how we should all embody what he calls the 3 harmonies:- The harmony within ourselves- The harmony with others- The harmony with natureRobert’s passion for a sustainable world is also passed on through his course, Bright Future Now where he teaches his students how to put into practice these 3 harmonies and gain tools for the journey from the Empire Era into the Planetary Era (he explains these eras in the podcast). After speaking with Robert, I was blown away by his knowledge and his outlook on life and highly recommend you to go to his website (context.org) to find out more.A little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention.

I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable.

Ever wondered what a Chakra really is? Why they are important? What they affect? Or HOW they affect our energy and HOW we can make sure they are working for us? This episode breaks down everything you need to know about energy and Chakras. Ambi Kavanagh has been a mentor of mine for many years and was one of the first to teach me how to meditate!! In this episode, we talk about her brilliant debut book, Chakras and Self-Care. It's like a bible for self care rituals and packed full of research backed insights that break down how our energetic body operates. I knew so little really about this subject and Ambi delivers the teachings in a succinct and easy to follow manner while offering tonnes of advice to get in FLOW! It is very normal to feel blocked, stagnant and out of alignment and by focusing on the work Ambi puts forth in this book along with all her work outside, she'll help unstick you quickly! Ambi Kavanagh is a Reiki master, astrologer, sound healer, life coach, and host of the podcast Alchemy with Ambi. With a unique focus on using astrological cycles and the seasons as a form of coaching, she considers herself a modern-day alchemist who serves as a catalyst for positive change in people's lives.

On today's show we have a real hero of mine, Dr James Doty.Dr Doty is one of the world leaders in compassion research, a clinical professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine and also the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University of which His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the founding benefactor.Dr Doty is the author of one of my FAVOURITE books, the best-selling book, “Into the Magic Shop - A neurosurgeon’s quest to discover the mysteries of the brain and secrets of the heart”.Please find the book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Into-Magic-Shop-Neurosurgeons-Mysteries/dp/1594632987In this episode we dive into what compassion actually is, how it affects our brain and why it can change the world we live in. We also speak about the science behind why visualisation works and when a neurosurgeon explains a subject usually considered quite 'woo woo", it's remarkable and motivating to hear how much power we can have over training our brain to manifest our highest self.Please find more information on Dr Doty: https://intothemagicshop.comPlease follow Dr Doty here: https://www.instagram.com/jamesrdotymd/?hl=enA little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast.
