Ask Me Anything: In which British National Treasure Melissa Hemsley fires your questions at me

Ask Me Anything: In which British National Treasure Melissa Hemsley fires your questions at me

Breaking things up a bit this episode with an AMA from London where I'm staying with my good friend Melissa Hemsley, cookbook author, sustainable food advocate and humanitarian. Mel kindly reads out a bunch of juicy questions: Do you have botox? How do we stay hopeful in the climate crisis when giving up and just enjoying the few remaining "normal years" is easier? Should 16 year-olds be allowed to vote? What about trying mushrooms for anxiety? How do you make friends as an adult?

Much of the chat comes back to pulsing between the either/ors we are confronted with, finding the "sweet spot" and making the struggle artful.


You can follow Melissa @melissa.hemsley and melissahemsley.com...she runs cooking courses and tutorials.


Some of the other names we mentioned:

@susanjanekitchen

@thehappypear

@clerkenwellboyec1


I mentioned the link to the beauty products I use https://www.nourishedlife.com.au/search.html?tag=sarah-wilson
