33. Love Recipe - Syreeta's Love Sponge - Sitting with Syreeta Challinger

<p>I sit down to speak with my guest Syreeta Challinger about Love from the Kindness A to Z:</p> <p><em><strong>"We understand self care and love as the most reliably transformative muscle of humanity and deeper connection to not only yourself but to others."</strong></em> Syreeta Challinger</p> <p>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. &nbsp;She has faced a myriad of life’s challenges, grief, loss, the place of unknowing each day.</p> <p>She shares her unique story, we talk about unconditional love. &nbsp;How love has guided her throughout the darkest of times and given her hope to continue.</p> <p>Love is a doing word, a verb. &nbsp;Love has carried her through the most insane 8 years when everything changed.</p> <p>As a carer she also shares ways she practices being kinder to herself and takes care of her wellbeing.</p> <p>Victoria Sponge is her favourite cake, so her recipe is named after this Syreeta's Love Sponge.</p> <p>Her mantra that got her through and that she still uses today shared by her friend Alli: "<em>inch by inch, life's a sinch, yard by yard it's very hard." &nbsp;</em></p> <p><a href="https://www.thisisleaven.com/">https://www.thisisleaven.com/</a></p> <p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thisisleaven/">@thisisleaven</a></p> <p>Tedx Talk <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiXfQeMo-U4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiXfQeMo-U4</a></p> <p>The book she mentions is Falling Upward: A Spirituality For The Two Halves Of Life by Richard Ror.<br> </p> <p><br></p>
