from Design to Connect · host Design to connect

In this third episode of our Healing Series, we explore the intricate relationship between style, identity, gender, self-expression, and mental health, and how personal style can serve as a powerful vehicle for healing, joy, and self-discovery.🎤 Inspired by the SareeNaSorry Funshop, a playful, safe space to explore the sari as a tool of empowerment created by Poppy Jaman, this conversation reflects on the life journeys of four women, and the ways they express and experience themselves through their bodies and their style.Our guests:🟣 Runa Begum Uddin – a mental health trainer, speaker, and facilitator whose lived experience with complex trauma shapes the way she supports others.🟣 Victoria Siegler – an advocate and co-trainer at Triangle Services UK, who brings sharp insight, humor, and perspective as a powerchair user navigating the gaze and assumptions of others.Together with our hosts Poppy Jaman and Arezoo Mohebpour, we talk about:How clothing can hold us, fit around us, and offer comfort or expressionWhat it means to feel “woman enough” and “human enough”The tension between invisibility and hyper-visibilityHow vanity can be not superficial, but essential to self-esteemHow small, everyday choices are part of our healing process🎧 This is a tender, lively conversation that redefines healing, not just as something internal, but as something woven into fabric, form, movement, and the courage to be seen.🎙️ Part of the Why Healing and Why It Matters series.#Healing #Style #Inclusion #SelfExpression .Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/pecan-pie/sweetness-of-the-momentLicense code: HESEZWLX0U3X9FPL
