Anjani Amriit was a very successful corporate lawyer in a top circle law firm “earning truck loads of money and flying around the world”. She was a shining example of how the West defines success.

After attending a meditation, she had a profound mystical experience that gave her the tools to start looking at what else was out there in the world. Join us for the inspirational episode of By the Watercooler as we explore how Anjani went from “Corporate Dropout” to an Entrepreneur, Leadership & Women’s Empowerment Expert, Speaker and Author.

7: Improve your Body Mind and Attitude – Angela Sladdin
Physical activity is one of those things in life that isn’t always a priority. For some people they feel they don’t have the time, for others they don’t like the perceived pain that occurs during exercise. We have all come up with excuses not to exercise at some point. In this episode BMA Fitness business owner and personal trainer extraordinaire Angela Sladdin talks to By The Watercooler about not only the benefits of exercise for our bodies but the importance for our minds. Angela gives us tips on how to pick an activity that we love so that exercise doesn’t become a chore and she also explains how it gives us an endorphine (feel good hormone) release which in turn helps to improve our mental health. Excuses not to exercise will be a thing of the past. Put simply Physical exercise = endorphine release = improved physical and mental health.

04: Get Fancy with Bec Gallichio
It takes courage to take the risk to start a business. It takes even more courage to start a business in the food industry in the middle of a pandemic. Bec Gallichio, Fancy Nancy Grazing’s founder had a dream, a fire in her belly that was fuelled by being in lockdown after lockdown in Melbourne. No longer could she quieten the voice inside that said she wanted more. No longer could she use her busy life as a wife and mum to a toddler as an excuse to ignore the feeling that there was something else out there for her. And when she listened to this voice, Fancy Nancy Grazing was born. From grazing boxes to grazing tables, Bec has ensured that there is something for everyone. Bec is our very first guest on BTW and it we were so excited that she chose us to tell her story to. Join us as we learn about the joys, the pitfalls, the rookie errors (we all make them)and the successes when starting a business. Bec’s journey is refreshingly honest and shows that if you are willing to take a risk, you too can start your dream business.
