Devon

What are you doing on Thursday 22 Feb? Whatever it is cancel it, and sign up for this online wellness festival. It&#8217;s the most exciting wellbeing thing to land in my inbox this year and I&#8217;m not missing it for anything, not even if Ryan Gosling phoned up and invited me out for a cocktail (although Ryan, if you&#8217;re reading&#8230;).

It&#8217;s organised by <a href="https://sixdegrees-group.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Six Degrees</a>, a local women&#8217;s female-only membership community, or more precisely its fab founder, Sarah Jepson, and Emily McGuirk, who organise great networking events at cool venues like The PIG at Combe. They have done us all a favour and launched <a href="https://sixdegrees-group.com/radiate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Radiate</a>, and not just for their members, but any woman who wants a steer on her wellbeing. It&#8217;s totally free to all, which considering the prowess of the experts and the range of topics is amazing. 



Here&#8217;s why I&#8217;m all in.

It&#8217;s basically a day of online talks under three main headings: energise, nourish and thrive, so you could squeeze one in during your lunch break. You don&#8217;t have to make all the sessions either, you can just <a href="https://sixdegrees-group.com/radiate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hop on the talks that appeal</a> to you.

I sat in on Six Degrees’ new members&#8217; sub-club, the <a href="https://sixdegrees-group.com/hormone-health-club/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hormone Health Club</a>, last week and Pauline blew me away with how well she explained everything &#8211; from how insulin resistance makes you gain weight, to what supplements we should be taking, and how, with chronic illness on the rise, we really need to get int touch with how we eat affects our day to day wellbeing, sleep and future health. Just one sesh with Pauline had me grasping complex topics I&#8217;d read about before, and all the participants gave the session a unanimous 10 out of 10 &#8211; I&#8217;d have it given 20 if I could.

In keeping with Six Degrees&#8217; style of going for impact and action, the creators are encouraging you to come away with just one or two actionable ideas from the day &#8211; you don&#8217;t have to load yourself up and feel guilty when you don&#8217;t achieve them all. And they&#8217;re giving attendees a bespoke workbook to record your takeaways and reflections from the day.
