Ways to Feel More Human...
…is a new podcast about returning to the wonder of you...
Over the last 10 years the wellness world has exploded. If the latest figures are anything to go by it is worth £2.8 trillion worldwide. Yet we are not getting healthier. In fact the opposite appears to be happening.
Obesity, anxiety, depression and chronic disease are at an all-time high and escalating fast, and it seems we have completely deviated off our human path: we spend less and less time in nature; we eat highly processed foods, we communicate through screens, we barely move, and we are lonelier than ever before.
In a world dominated by tech and now AI, we are at a pivotal point in the history of humankind where we must stop and re-evaluate how we live. The good news is that everything we need to thrive today is already here, right now, inside of us - neither the phone, Instagram, or a high speed laptop have come close to the wonder of us. And so I am embarking on a podcast journey into discovering what really makes us, as human beings, thrive, both physically, mentally, creatively, socially and spiritually, and how we can do more of it and weave it into our busy lives.
I’ll be speaking to some of the world’s most knowledgeable and inspiring thought leaders to discuss everything we need to thrive from wellbeing to creativity, lifestyle to spirituality, self-care to nature therapy and human connection. There’ll be experts in everything from breathwork to brain health, movement to mindfulness, nutrition to neuroscience.
It is, essentially, a celebration of being human.

Jillian Lavender, meditation expert
Why Vedic meditation can boost your mood, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and help you live longer. Did you know the average person spends 82 hours per week consuming information? Or that we take in almost 90 times more information today than we did in 1940? We are currently living through a mental health crisis and it is vital we find a way to switch off from all the noise, and release stress.
In this first episode of Ways to Feel More Human, I speak to Jillian Lavender who runs the London Meditation Centre and the New York Meditation Centre with her husband, Michael.
