PODCAST: Belonging | Growing up British Bengali

At the tender age of 17, Poppy found herself in an arranged marriage. Three years later, she was a young mother, grappling with post-natal depression and anxiety.

The experience was isolating and terrifying for Poppy, a proud third-generation British Bengali woman. She overcame these obstacles in early life to become an incredibly successful founder, CEO, entrepreneur, and globally recognised authority on workplace mental health.

Listen to Episode 12 of Open Minded, Poppy, an internationally respected mental health advocate and national policy advisor, shares her wisdom gleaned from lived experience and professional life with Sir John Kirwan. They dive into topics including racism and trauma, mental health, and workplace wellbeing.
