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.

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.
Kate then heads to the National Gallery to take part in one of their live art mindfulness sessions, while Gwen joins a session online, which you can enjoy too, here: liminacollective.com/workshops/
