As a bridge to our SareeNaSorry funshop we are sharing Healing Through Style┃The Healing Power of Style and Self Expression with Poppy Jaman, Arezoo Mohebpour, Runa Begum Uddi & Victoria Siegler
In this third episode of our Healing Series, we explore the intricate relationship between style, identity, gender, self-expression, and mental health, and how personal style can serve as a powerful vehicle for healing, joy, and self-discovery.

🎤 Inspired by the Saree Na Sorry Funshop, a playful and safe space to explore the sari as a tool of empowerment through fun, glamour, and discussion created by Poppy Jaman OBE, Hon.PhD, MBA. this conversation reflects on the life journeys of four women and the ways they express and experience themselves through their bodies and style.
Our guests:
🟣 Runa Uddin – a mental health trainer, speaker, and facilitator whose lived experience with complex trauma shapes the way she supports others.
🟣 Victoria Siegler – an advocate and co-trainer at Triangle Services, who brings sharp insight, humour, and perspective as a powerchair user navigating the gaze and assumptions of others.
Together with Poppy and Arezoo, we talk about:
⚪ How clothing can hold us, fit around us, and offer comfort or expression
⚪What it means to feel “woman enough” and “human enough”
⚪The tension between invisibility and hyper-visibility
⚪How vanity can be not superficial, but essential to self-expression
⚪How small, everyday choices are part of our healing process
🎧 This is a tender, lively conversation that redefines healing, not just as something internal, but as something woven into fabric, form, movement, and the courage to be seen.
