As like any other social figure, and individual, mothers deserve respect, support and care by systems of power and society, but since most cultures assign the role of the primary care giver to mothers, the urgency to provide holistic maternal support is strengthening for a world which is becoming increasingly volatile.
In this episode, we are joined by Dr Allison Davis...2021-09-0238 minMind Full of EverythingSpiritual ecology at the heart of environmentalismCenturies ago, the idea that humans could even be a separate entity to the rest of the natural world would be too alien to believe by ancient societies. Fast track to the modern world, and people are starting to realise that spiritualism and science can indeed go hand in hand and that the dualistic relationship humanity has with Nature is only a recent phenomenon.
Being part of a culture and religion which still has traces of ancient Indigenous spiritual and environmental wisdom present, Agrita has always felt drawn to the knowledge of the past which helped preserve...2021-08-0640 minMind Full of EverythingEcofeminism as a solution to the climate crisisAs the environmental movement has evolved over the years, concerns have been raised about the intersectionality of environmentalism, especially since decision making for environmental policies has been led by white middle and upper class men. Whilst extensive work has been, and is being, done for the intersections of race and class with environmental issues, not enough research has been done on the gendered impacts of climate change.
Despite the fact women and girls are disproportionately affected by the changing climate, women, particularly women of colour and Indigenous women, are constantly left out of decision making for the...2021-07-0836 minMind Full of EverythingSilk: ethics, sustainability and cultureCulture is a part of history that holds great importance to those who are part of the communities that have carried forward ancient traditions. The feeling of embracing your culture through practicing ancient customs is what keeps community members attached to their cultural heritage. However, as time calls for change in perspectives and actions, the fear of losing even the smallest part of your culture with our evolving world can feel daunting and confusing.

In this self-reflectance episode, Agrita discusses the nuances in the concept of forgiveness, the need for the definition of the concept to be unique and shaped by the experiences of each individual and the importance of self-forgiveness as the first step to long-term healing. Whilst this episode reflects the personal choices of Agrita, the listener is encouraged to replicate and/or adapt her thought processes to the definition of forgiveness they are most comfortable and happy...2021-05-2634 minMind Full of EverythingSpiritual animal wisdom with Dr Linda BenderMind Full of Everything is back from hiatus with this conversation on lessons learned from animal spirituality with Dr Linda Bender, an advocate and educator of animal rights protection and reconnecting conventional science to spiritualism.

Being of Indian origin themselves, both Agrita and Aparna discuss some of the toxic cultural patterns in South Asian households that result in traumatic events, the ways in which immigration can exacerbate or trigger trauma and the ways in which South Asian women can try to break out of trauma cycles and unhealthy mindsets...2021-03-0830 minMind Full of EverythingIndian Farmers and the Sikh CommunityTW: mentions of genocide, suicide, abuse and rape.
This episode is in response to the ongoing farmer protest in India where farmers, and everyone in support, are protesting against the new agricultural bills proposed by the Indian government which seeks to privatise the sector in a bid to boost income from agriculture. The protests are important because they depict two issues: 1) the economy and profits constantly being put before farmer livelihoods and 2) the usage of undemocratic measures by the Indian government in response to public backlash, highly ironic to India's title of being the "largest democracy in t...2021-02-1728 minMind Full of EverythingThe Zero Waste MovementSustainability is multifaceted, and Zero Waste makes up one of these facets, gaining rapid popularity within the past decade. Whilst achieving zero waste in our highly urbanised and (generally) wasteful society may seem like a great achievement, we should really be worried over how we could abandoned such an environmentally and socially just ancient practice in the first place.
This episode discusses the importance of Zero Waste, the need for us to decolonise the concept to decarbonise our economies and the key ways in which we can shift to a circular economy, with real life examples of...2021-02-0327 minMind Full of EverythingDear Angry WomenAnger is an emotion that is as important as any other, yet the negative connotations associated to it, coupled with the masculine attributes assigned to the emotion, has exacerbated female inequalities further.
This episode emphasises on the urgency to destigmatise and demasculinise anger so that women are able to practice health portrayal of their anger and work towards creating a more just and safe environment for themselves and other women. Most importantly however, this episode celebrates the legacy of all courageous women that taught the rest of us how to break out of gender stereotypes and start...2021-01-2024 minMind Full of EverythingHolistic Approaches to Health and SustainabilityThe need for health frameworks to be holistic to better solve health crises has become increasingly important, especially now that we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts on vulnerable populations are extremely severe. This episode explores the three key approaches used within the scientific community to solve health issues in a holistic manner for the environment, humans and non-human species in order to achieve sustainability on all levels.

Although this episode is all about my personal experiences and journey to acceptance of who I am, this episode is tailored for those willing to embark on a journey of self-discovery and are seeking for strategic ways to do so.

However, many ethical consumers are now starting to question the success of the belief and whether it has resulted in change in the corporate world or whether the problem of unethical and unsustainable production continues to persist but just behind closed doors.

When a woman prioritises her career over starting a family, or when she juggles family life with work, she's considered strong. When a woman embraces her flaws and is comfortable in her own body, she's looked up to as an example of self-love. But as soon as a man tries to step away from gender roles and redefine his masculinity for himself, people dismiss his efforts because of the notion that men are collectively "too privileged" to be celebrated.
Whilst it's...2020-11-2554 minMind Full of EverythingReflection: Imposter Syndrome and JealousyThis episode looks at the intersections between imposter syndrome and jealousy, and how the constant fear of being overtaken, in any part of life, drives many individuals to feel, and a lot of the time act upon, their intense hatred towards others that threaten their happiness/success.
All this results in is long-term instability of the mind and large-scale damage to both the jealous person and the person that they felt jealousy towards (which is exactly what I have experienced). Whilst all emotions are valid to feel, jealousy is that one emotion that needs to be urgently...2020-11-1137 min

Although, the fundamental principle of intersectionality, along with the culturally rich history of vegetarianism and veganism, is being erased as quickly as the belief is gaining popularity.
This is a massive issue because veganism has gradually become into a radical ideology, often perpetuated by the white, privileged, hipster image of an ideal vegan, that favours animal rights and livelihoods over human ones. Instead of remaining a philosophical belief rooted in e...2020-10-2837 minMind Full of EverythingSystemic Sexism and Gaslighting Domestic Violence Victims with Teri YuanDomestic abuse cases peaked during lockdown across the world, however this alarming rate of gender-based violence has existed well before the COVID-19 pandemic, disproportionately affecting womxn and children in abusive relationships and households.
When 1 in 4 women in the US experience severe intimate partner physical violence and 95% of victims of coercive control in the UK are women, we can easily see that domestic violence is a product of systemic sexism, where female survivors are giving inadequate support when suffering from intimate partner abuse. This situation is then exacerbated when mothers go to court to accuse their partners of p...2020-10-141h 00Mind Full of EverythingReflection: Altruism Gone WrongIt’s safe to say that we have entered into an “altruistic generation”, one that imposes the need to be immersed in charitable causes on all individuals, attacking those that fail to do so. However, if we were to look around, beyond social media and into reality, can we genuinely see any major change? A significant reduction in suffering? In fact, without sounding too pessimistic, pain and suffering has exponentially risen, world issues continue to be amplified, so really, are we in an altruistic generation?
In this reflection episode, I answer all of these questions by looking at the...2020-09-3030 minMind Full of EverythingFighting Period Poverty One Conversation At A Time with Victoria AbrahamsWe very quickly synonymise stigmatised issues, particularly those concerning the female body, to developing countries' problems. This only belittles the painful experiences of women living in western countries that aren't able to get access to basic needs like period products.
Period poverty is a massive issue in the UK, where 40% of women use materials like toilet paper as makeshift pads and 1 in 4 teenage girls don't know what to do on their first periods. Freedom4Girls helps to tackle the issue of period poverty through making reusable sanitary products available to vulnerable menstruating females free of cost, aswell a...2020-09-1650 minMind Full of EverythingIndigenous Activism Through The Lens of Journalism with Desiree KaneNative American communities have faced brutalisation by US constitutions for more than 500 years, yet nothing has changed, in fact things worsen every day. Genocide, rape and incarceration of the Indigenous constantly happen but all that mainstream media will cover is the environmental issues aspect of their struggles, often diluting the intensity of the problem.
The Indigenous communities can't keep fighting on their own, they need the allegiance and support of allies to ensure that future generations don't face the same torture that previous generations have experienced. Black Americans, facing extreme levels of racism and hate crimes too...2020-09-0247 minMind Full of EverythingOvercoming Trauma Through Creativity with Amy OestreicherAmy had always wanted to pursue a musical theatre career and ending up at Broadway some day.

2020-08-0518 minMind Full of EverythingBeautifulPlanet: The True StewardsThis episode finishes off the Beautiful Planet series by putting an emphasis on the importance and success of indigenous stewardship as a form of conservation. Despite making up less than 5% of the human population, indigenous communities support up to 80% of the world's biodiversity through powerful techniques that have been used across generations. However, their conservational efforts have been largely dismissed, resulting in the indigenous being evicted from their own ancestral lands, mostly through lethal force by governments.

Everything we consume and utilise is of natural origin, so when we talk about the healing powers of nature, it should not surprise us when we see the variety of ways nature supports our wellbeing/health.
This episode discusses the medicinal, economic, social and mental health benefits nature brings to us all, with an emphasis on the importance of protecting the "free" services and products that we have so taken granted for.

What began as a protest has now become a movement to challenge those systems that allow for innocent black people to be killed and brutalised, just for the colour of their skin.
As a woman of colour myself, I am very familiar with racism, but never to the extent to which the black community experience it every day. Therefore, this episode aims to discuss not just how systemic racism can be...2020-06-131h 14Mind Full of EverythingBeautifulPlanet: The Migrating WorldMigration for many organisms is a vital aspect of their lives, yet one phenomenon that continues to perplex scientists, in terms of the magnitude, duration and intensity.

These statements/questions have been asked to a particular part of society for as long as any member of this part of society can remember. The part that is always looked down upon by their louder counterparts, the introverted part of society. We all know, or should know, that just like sexuality can never be a choice, how introverted or extraverted you are can also not be chosen. It's an inherent part of your genetic makeup.

Blame social media, influencers or the modern way of living, our habit of renewing our wardrobes with the latest fashion trends has resulted in the rapid production and consumption of clothes well known as "fast fashion".
Fashion for many, including myself, is a means to express yourself and to feel confident in the way you present yourself. However, our unhealthy addiction to overconsumption of fast fashion items has taken a massive toll on the planet and wellbeing of textile workers.

One such tactic is reforestation, which acts to both compensate for the dramatic human-induced loss of trees and to create more carbon sinks to offset anthropogenic emissions. However, it isn't as simple as it seems; this notion of extensive tree planting being the solution to mitigating climate change is infact harmful for ecosystems and functionality of forests in the long-term, including their ability to sequester carbon. Listen to this...2020-02-0422 minMind Full of EverythingLet's Talk About Mental HealthPoor mental health is one of the biggest issues of our society today, so much so that it has become an epidemic on a global scale, affecting anyone and everyone. However, it continues to remain a taboo topic, one that many still find too uncomfortable to talk about, especially when suffering it themselves. This has only made it worse for those going through mental health issues, resulting in the records of self-harm and suicide to rapidly increase in the past years.

Yet we are all so quick in describing our ideal types and our "dream" lives.
Expectations and necessities, or standards, are two distinct layers in relationships but in daily life, we tend to confuse the two, which can lead to serious problems in the health of your relationships. Listen to "Expectations vs Necessities" to hear how you can separate your expectations and standards better to sustain healthier and happier relationships.

Plastics, plastics, plastics...did I mention plastics?
