Mika Simmons: Feminism, Lady Gardens, Loss and Mindset.

Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND, a podcast all about health, nutrition, wellness, mindset, sustainability, women's health and so much more. I’m Grace Kingswell and I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine advocate. Essentially that means that I’m down for hard core health facts, but also lifestyle hacks like cold water swimming, meditation and mindfulness and harnessing the power of your own body! I’m really excited to bring you an episode with Mika Simmons. Mika is an actress, filmmaker, founder of the Lady Garden Foundation and women's campaigner. Mika founded the Lady Garden after she tragically lost her Mum to stage 4 ovarian cancer when she was just 54 and she talks beautifully about how this has affected and influenced her life to date. In this episode, which is incredibly poignant and moving in parts and hilariously funny in others, Mika and I talk about everything from diet and nutrition to feminism and women’s health, how and why she set up the Lady Garden Foundation and of course I find out what STATE OF MIND means to Mika.   @gracekingswell @missmikasimmons
