Conversations and monologues exploring how work can be part of our self-care. An exploration of how we can improve our quality of life by remembering that we work to create a living. Work gives us a sense of purpose and fulfilment, but the way we work means we are left with the dregs of ourselves. We have very little energy left to create a purposeful and fulfilling life. This creates a dynamic where we rely on work and toxic levels of productivity for our sense of worth and purpose. Nobody leaves this life wishing they had worked more! We’ve got to live whilst we are alive and I think changing the way we work is an integral part of this. I don’t have the answers, this podcast is likely to leave you with more questions than you had before and think that’s a good thing. It gives us the chance to consider how we can create something new.

Sarah Rose Gregory honours Billie Holiday.
In today’s Black History Month audio takeover Sarah Rose Gregory honours Billie Holiday. Sarah shares that her introduction to Billie Holiday was met with resistance as Ms Holiday was her father’s musical choice.
Once Sarah was able to connect with Ms Holiday beyond outside of her father’s influence Sarah learned lessons about love, relationships and most importantly self love.
In terms of wellness Sarah refers to Billie Holiday’s ability to take up space. Refusing to use the ‘coloured entrances’ in the Jim Crow era and using her art to expand into the fullest version of her self, singing with her entire chest and captivating audiences that would have ordinarily overlooked her resplendence because of the colour of her skin.
About Sarah Rose Gregory:
Sarah is a storyteller, ex civil servant, artistic activist, event organiser, community fund raiser, black British woman, of Ghanaian and Irish descent with four children, an ardent dyslexic who campaigns. She was lost at King's University, found at SOAS and then moons later survived evenings at Birkbeck, to become a Master.
