My relationship with food
Verity Foss is the co-owner of the Oowee group, the group has a total of 5 stores and 3 delivery kitchens with 2 more bricks and mortar stores opening this year, Oowee first opened its doors in 2016.
Whilst Verity has a great relationship with food in her professional career, she has been challenged, like many of us, with her personal relationship with food. Verity has never spoken publicly about her decision to tackle her own physical & mental health so this is a unique opportunity to listen live to the Bristol Entrepreneur journey from moving from 14.2 stone to 8.5 stone and the mental impact it has had on her and her business.

Introduction to mindfulness
Mindfulness is something we all need to focus on after the last few years we have been through. The team behind nowpause.org join us to share some practical exercises to focus our minds and relax. Life Coach Andrew Johnson will lead us through a mindfulness exercise to start the day ensuring we are all present and open to making great choices for ourselves and our teams.
“You are not your thoughts.” Andrew Johnson
Andrew will then be joined by the Founder of nowpause.org, Craig Prentice. Together they will share their own personal journeys, their approach to wellbeing, and the tools they use to help manage their own mindsets.
“Up until a few years ago, the words ‘mental health’ meant very little to me — buzz words, often used negatively with some kind of stigma.” Craig Prentice
