  • From Teacher to Astrology: Harnessing Natural Cycles for Business & Wellbeing with Kirsty Sinclair
    Apr 21 2026

    What if the key to sustainable success wasn't another productivity hack, but learning to work with your natural rhythms instead of against them?

    In this episode of the Pink Nest Podcast, Nika sits down with Kirsty Anna Sinclair, astrologer and business guide, for a conversation that gently challenges everything we've been told about hustle, growth, and what it really means to thrive.
    Kirsty's story begins in a classroom. As a teacher, she gave everything she had ,until burnout quietly took everything back.
    That breaking point became a turning point, leading her toward astrology not as a mystical escape, but as a practical, grounding framework for understanding herself and rebuilding her work on her own terms. What she found changed not just her career, but her entire relationship with time, energy, and success.
    At the heart of this conversation is a beautifully simple idea: that we are cyclical beings living in a cyclical world and that when we align our business activities, creative energy, and rest with natural rhythms like lunar phases, something shifts. Not just in productivity, but in wellbeing. Kirsty shares how understanding your own lunar sign can reveal unique sources of comfort and strength, and why the traditional business advice so many of us follow quietly ignores the most important variable: the human being at the centre of it all.

    This episode is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and build something that lasts, not by pushing harder, but by sailing a little more wisely under the stars.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    * Kirsty's journey from teacher burnout to discovering astrology as a life and business tool
    * Why traditional business advice so often leads to burnout and imbalance
    * How natural cycles and lunar phases influence energy, creativity, and productivity

  • Women Are the Force for Change: Human Rights, Resilience & Advocacy with Zolal Habibi
    Apr 14 2026

    What does it mean to grow up surrounded by activism and then choose, as an adult, to carry that torch forward even when the personal cost is high?

    In this episode of the Pink Nest Podcast, Nika sits down with Zolal Habibi, Iranian American human rights advocate, for a conversation that is courageous, deeply moving, and impossible to forget.
    Zolal's story begins in childhood, shaped by parents whose activism planted the seeds of her own. The loss of her father and the injustice woven through that loss, didn't break her understanding of the world. It clarified it. She saw, with quiet certainty, what she was being called toward. And when the moment came to choose between a medical career and a life of human rights advocacy, she chose the fight for freedom in Iran without hesitation.

    At the heart of her work is a fierce belief in the power of women. She speaks with profound respect for the Iranian women who have suffered under a misogynistic regime and even greater awe at their resilience. From empowering survivors to drawing inspiration from female leaders of the Iranian resistance, Zolal's advocacy is rooted in the conviction that women are not just part of the movement for change in Iran. They are its driving force.
    This is also an honest conversation about the emotional weight of advocacy, the grief, the exhaustion, and the non-negotiable importance of self-care when your work involves bearing witness to suffering.
    Zolal speaks about hope not as a passive feeling but as an active, disciplined choice. One she makes every single day.
    "I have never given up on that dream." Neither should we.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    * How Zolal's childhood was shaped by her parents' activism and her father's legacy
    * The profound impact of her father's death on her understanding of injustice
    * Why she chose human rights advocacy over a medical career
    * The challenges and deep rewards of working in human rights
    * Empowering women who have suffered under Iran's misogynistic regime
    * Where Zolal finds hope and why resilience is a daily practice
    * The role of female leaders in the Iranian resistance movement
    * Why self-care is not a luxury but a necessity in advocacy work
    * A powerful message about the choices that define our paths in life
    * Why women are the force for change in Iran and everywhere.

  • Breaking Barriers: Trans Inclusion, Global Trans Charter & Advocacy in Music with Saskhia Menendez
    Apr 7 2026

    What does it take to walk into an industry that wasn't built for you and then turn around and rebuild it so others don't have to fight the same battles?

    In this episode of the Pink Nest Podcast, Nika sits down with Saskhia Menendez, internationally recognised music industry leader, Brit Awards voting member, and one of the most powerful advocates for trans inclusion in the creative industries today.

    Saskhia's journey began with a teacher who recognised her singing talent, a small moment that opened a door into a world she would go on to transform. As a multiracial trans woman navigating the music industry, she faced the kind of intersecting challenges that don't come with a roadmap. Rather than stepping back, she stepped forward, building initiatives, creating frameworks, and refusing to let the absence of representation become the end of the story.

    At the heart of this conversation is the Global Trans Charter, a landmark initiative Saskhia created to protect trans and non-binary individuals working in and around the music industry. She talks about how it was born, how success in inclusion work is measured through data and accountability, and what it really means to hold a seat at the table as a Brit Awards voting member with the responsibility to advocate for better representation every time that vote is cast.
    This is also an honest conversation about the harder parts of advocacy, the backlash, the resilience it demands, the exhaustion that can come with fighting for change in systems designed to resist it. Saskhia speaks with clarity and grace about intersectionality, the persistent problem of misogyny in music, and why mentorship for emerging artists in marginalised communities is not optional, it is essential.
    And through it all, her message remains: stay authentic, ask for help, and don't stop. Because a truly inclusive music industry, one where all voices are heard and all people can flourish, is not a dream. It is a direction.

    IN THIS EPISODE
    * How a teacher's recognition sparked Saskhia's journey into music
    * Her experience navigating the industry as a multiracial trans woman
    * The creation and impact of the Global Trans Charter
    * How to measure success and accountability in inclusion initiatives
    * What it means to be a Brit Awards voting member and advocate for representation
    * Backlash in advocacy, how to face it and keep going
    * The importance of mentorship for emerging artists in marginalised communities
    * Intersectionality and why it is central to meaningful advocacy
    * Misogyny in the music industry, naming it, addressing it, dismantling it
    * What a truly inclusive music industry looks like and how we get there
    * Messages of hope for everyone striving for change.
