Author, Board Game Creator & Domestic Violence Service Manager - Sahdaish Pall
Season 1, Episode 48, Aug 14, 2019, 06:00 AM
This week's guest, Sahdaish Pall is a creative polymath! She is an Author, a Board Game Creator (two to date!) and a Domestic Violence Service Manager but it doesn't stop there. She also is a co-founder in S.W.A.N, a Community Interest Group whose aim is to develop positive change in the community and to inspire, develop and empower women to live confident and fulfilled lives. She has also published a cookbook, written articles for the likes of the Guardian and won numerous awards for her talents and community work!
Sahdaish discusses writing her two fiction books: The Perfect Match & The Perfect Dress, her process and how she self-published. She shares using the 'chick-lit' genre to broach and promote an awareness of domestic violence and how to find and access support and help. If you would like to find out more or buy the Perfect Match you can do so here:

She also talks about her current project - creating and launching her second board game titled 'Fair Play.' The game helps educate primary and secondary school students on systems of abuse, identifying unhealthy behaviours and how to respond and get support if need be. The game launched a week after we recorded the interview and has already been well received. If you would like to find out more about 'Fair Play' you can do so here:

Sahdaish's creativity, kindness and energy are epic, she works on all her creative projects in addition to her full-time job as Domestic Violence Service Manager. It is a tough role, which often encounters some of the dark moments but she shares how she has learnt to focus on the positive changes that can be made in recovery for those that she works with.
She also discusses not getting the opportunity to go to university when she was younger and how this sometimes creates a dip in self-belief (despite all the bloody amazing things she does) and that she has to remind herself not to be too critical but rather focus her attention on reflecting on all that she has achieved. She is a huge advocate for giving things a go, being determined and making it happen.
Sahdaish is INCREDIBLE! Her constant focus, on how to use her creativity to help other peoples' lives better, is so inspiring! Be ready to be blown away!
