Intro: Hello,
and welcome to the Calmer-You podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge, I’m
a coach, a hypnotherapist and the author of “the anxiety solution, and brave
new girl.” And this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest,
happiest, and most confident self. So in today's episode, I am speaking to Nova
Reid, she is an inspirational speaker, a diversity campaigner, and mentor.
She's an advocate for equality, I was recently nominated as a positive role
model for race equality at the National diversity awards for the 3rd year
running. She's also a certified n.l.p. life coach, she has an extensive
professional background in mental wellbeing, and she's a frequent mentor at the
women of the World Festival in London.



She's also regularly invited to speak on BBC and Sky News on race and diversity matters, I have been learning so much from Nova, I am taking her anti-racism course, and I highly recommend that you check that out if you are inspired by this episode and want to learn more. I think she's doing incredible work in the world and we can see topics such as how we can be the change that we want to see in the world.



We talk about her anti-racism work, and we get into what micro aggressions are, and why they can be so harmful. We talk about our own unconscious biases which we all have by the way and how we need to start to examine them so that we can overcome them.



And I ask Nova how she gets the courage to do the work that she does
because she really is putting herself out there, doing incredibly brave work. We
also get into how to be an ally and what exactly that is. So if you want to get
some free resources to help you to become your calmest, happiest and most confident
self, you can head over to my website, Calmeryou.com/free, into your e-mail
