It's the last episode of the year!

2023 is nearly upon us, but sometimes it's good to look back at how far you've come before looking forward.

I got together with Fitness Coach Ush and one half of The Native Immigrants, Joyti. We discussed our expectations Vs reality of 2022, goals for next year, and what we are leaving in 2022. (spoiler alert: scarcity mindset, grey interiors and endless social media scrolling are defo getting ditched!)

Has 2022 gone the way you wanted it to? Or are you still reeling from the way that things have turned out?

There is a whole industry built on our insecurity about ageing and whilst we all want to look and feel good, why is it we fear getting older?  

 

My guest this episode is Body Confidence Coach Mina Kumari. She's in her 50s, is as confident and fabulous as ever and is helping other women to feel the same.

S2, Ep 145: ”Where are you really from?” and The ”Y2K Aesthetic”

It's TPP time! and it's the last Power Panel episode of the year so we thought we'd have a bit of fun and discuss the current Gen Z obsession with all things Y2K.

As women in our early 40s we are the OG wearers of late 90s and Y2K fashion, but which trends would we be happy to rock again? and which do we think should be left in Y2K?...along with dial up internet!

We also share our feelings on being asked "but where are you really from?" as yesterday The late Queen's lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey  apologised and resigned after she repeatedly asked a black British charity boss this question.
