In this episode of Project Popsicle, Jesal discusses how a simple kind word from an English teacher gave her just enough confidence to explore the creative world of writing. Her father's confidence in her abilities further fueled her passion and love of writing and has allowed Jesal to develop her own style as a creative.

During this lively, open, and honest conversation, she discusses her creative skill of putting ideas together and making them fit, being humble, valuing the creative effort, exploring her creative options and having fun breaking limiting molds in our society.

Aisha Nash and I got together to talk about diet culture, the unwellness of the wellness industry and the importance of being a troublemaker.This conversation was a whirlwind of big topics, and there are links to dive deeper in the notes below. We covered lots of ground, roaming from the insidious nature of diet culture, to the ways that cultural systems like capitalism and racism play out in the wellness industry. We touched on Aisha's personal experiences as a south Asian woman in the Western yoga world, and caught a glimpse behind the curtain of the yoga industry, which is not always as love and light as it appears.ABOUT AISHAAisha is a yoga teacher who left a career working in Michelin starred restaurants after the stress of the job caught up with both her body and mind.She rediscovered yoga and wanted to share the practice that helped her be entirely content with exactly the person she is, but found that she didn't fit the mould of a yoga teacher that studios were looking for.Aisha now teaches classes that are focused on inclusivity, diversity and self love, with what she calls her Anti-Diet Yoga Approach.Find more of her work:www.aishanash.comPatreon@theaishanashMENTIONED & FURTHER RESOURCESBad Influencer.
