In this Worldly Wellbeing episode Luke and Holly are joined by Helen Bazuaye (IG: @bazuaye), a “company of one” and a passionate advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. She channels her passion through the endeavours of Creative Grace (IG: @creative.grace___) and works as a freelance writer, editor, and consultant. More than that, she’s a wonderful human being with an energy that felt like it was radiating throughout our episode; Helen’s openness to share some of her own personal story, what motivates her, and how she tends to her own needs, makes for a profound and encouraging episode.

This week's Worldly Wellbeing podcast is with Andrew Cunning (Twitter: @TheTad92, IG: @tadcunning), a theologian, teacher and writer based in Belfast, NI.
