It’s the end of another year and for some of us we will be reflecting back and making changes, while others simply continue moving forward. Whatever your case we hope you have had a great year.
To end this years run of podcasts we decided to change it up. Today’s episode features Akash Kumar as he reflects back on the year, discussing why the podcast had a break and the general ups and downs throughout the year. With a little change in attitude, an improved purpose and new habits, the team at the HUMAN:NOW are signing the year off on a high.
Thank you so much for those who have been with us on this journey, your love and support means the world to us. Stay safe over the break and we will be sure to catch you in the new year, bringing 10X the amount of POSITIVITY.
Whether we want to believe it or not, we are all emotional beings, just some of us more than others. Our body, mind and intellect work away in the “background” as we do life.
Have you ever wondered how your emotions play into your life?
How do you deal with your emotions?
Where do your emotions get stored in your body?
Today we introduced Jayshree Patel, Dr Anjali Rattan and Karishma Kumar and discussed the way emotions play into our lives and the way we deal with them in relation to our body.
Today we introduced Albie Roebeck, Amelia Lowe and Telisha Krishna and talked about our experiences and thoughts around MENTAL HEALTH.
Everyone at some point in their lives will know of someone or will experience a dark patch in their life which is completely NORMAL. The team discusses what we can do to support those around us and raise awareness around mental health.
If you are looking for help, or support please know you can call or text 1737 at anytime to speak to someone.
As Albie Roebeck says,
YOU ARE LOVED
YOU ARE WORTH IT
YOU MEAN SOMETHING TO EVERYONE
ESPECIALLY ME.
Thank you so much to the team for sharing their thoughts and vulnerabilities.
Growth and learning is our baseline.
Therefore, in addition to discussing themes and ideas relating to BEING in this state of time, we thought it would be great to take advantage of our guests and extract a little more out of them.
You’ve met him already. Today we got Rex Braganza to talk about “FAT LOSS”.
“Cue the insecurity”, hey its only human to FEEL.
For those like me, they may want to make a healthy shift in their lifestyle, for some they may want the “summer beach bod” and for others, well they may be perfectly fine the way they are.
Today Rex gives us his understanding around the fat in our bodies and how we can think about them.
This could be a sensitive podcast for some, but we believe in bringing all ideas to an open platform.
Take a listen and let us know what you think.
Most of us if not all, have experienced and are affected by BODY IMAGE.

This episode is not only for men, as the lessons and experiences shared affect all people.
