I sit down to speak with my guest Syreeta Challinger about Love from the Kindness A to Z:
"We understand self care and love as the most reliably transformative muscle of humanity and deeper connection to not only yourself but to others." Syreeta Challinger
She is a coach, creative consultant, writer podcaster and public speaker. She has created a space, Leaven, a place she sought when facing trauma and catastrophic change, all in response to her personal experiences of change as a mother and as a carer. Syreeta makes positive change possible. She has faced a myriad of life’s challenges, grief, loss, the place of unknowing each day.
She shares her unique story, we talk about unconditional love. How love has guided her throughout the darkest of times and given her hope to continue.
Love is a doing word, a verb. Love has carried her through the most insane 8 years when everything changed.
As a carer she also shares ways she practices being kinder to herself and takes care of her wellbeing.
Victoria Sponge is her favourite cake, so her recipe is named after this Syreeta's Love Sponge.
Her mantra that got her through and that she still uses today shared by her friend Alli: "inch by inch, life's a sinch, yard by yard it's very hard."
