Right Up My Podcast
Right Up My Podcast is the podcast for those looking to explore different methods of self-care, self-love and ways to make you feel good.
Hosted by voice artist and presenter Gwen Watson and journalist and producer Kate White, Right Up My Podcast came from a mutual drive to find new ways to improve our own mental health.
Each episode we chat to a different expert about their feel-good forte, and then try it out for ourselves to see if it works... or if it doesn't.
It's frank, funny and honest, with the odd bit of over-sharing. So join us on Right Up My Podcast, because you deserve to feel good too!
Released fortnightly. Contains bad language and inappropriate laughter.
Music – Andrew Grimes. Artwork – Erica Frances George.

Ep.29 - Activism & Optimism: Why we should be hopeful about the future | Anne Therese
Anne Therese, founder of The Climate Optimist, chats to us about the relationship between activism and feeling good. Anne is a speaker, educator and long-term environmental activist. She explains how we are more likely to act and make changes in our lives if we feel hopeful about the future, rather than being paralysed by fear and anger.
You can find out more about Anne and all the incredible work that she does at: https://www.theclimateoptimist.com/
Her book The Climate Optimist Handbook is out this Autumn.
