Right Up My Podcast
Right Up My Podcast is the podcast for those seeking the lesser-known (and occasionally bonkers) 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 obsession with psychology and finding new ways to improve our own mental health, taking self-help off the bookshelf and into the real world.
Each episode we chat to a different expert about their feel-good forte, from laughter yoga to tantric massage; rituals and spells to microdosing; the joy of play to the art of sleep; breathwork to deep work and much much more.
Then we 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.

Ep.54 - Art Mindfulness: How slow looking can help to reduce stress | Karly Allen
We’re joined by Karly Allen and Lucia van de Drift from the Lumina Collective, to learn about art mindfulness; how slow looking and guided mindfulness techniques can transform your experience of looking at art.
Karly and Lucia have worked with The National Gallery, The British Museum, Manchester Art Gallery, The Royal Academy, The Royal Collection and and many more, delivering art mindfulness sessions both in person and online. Karly is an art lecturer and museum educator, and Lucia is a teacher and writer in meditation, mindfulness and Buddhism.
