What's on your dopamine menu?
Afternoons with Helen Farmer
Tuesday, 1 July 2025 - 1 hour 19 minutes
We're talking about a trending mental health tool known as a dopamine menu – a simple yet science-backed way to reset your brain, refocus your attention, and feel good doing it. Our guests Dani Hakim, a fierce neurodiversity advocate living with ADHD, and Anna Kaminski, founder of NeuroKinds, are here to unpack how tools like this are shifting the conversation around productivity, energy, and mental wellbeing – not just for those who are neurodivergent, but for everyone.
We speak with Anna Pollock, Founder of Conscious Travel about responsible travel and if the problem when it comes to overtourism is just too many people or the model of tourism itself.
How are rising costs and climate concerns reshaping summer trips for UAE residents? Travel Counsellor Louise Wrankmore is on hand to assist.
And on our Psychology Hour, we're exploring the science behind hope, how it differs from blind optimism, and why cultivating it might be one of the most powerful tools for mental wellbeing with Dr Thoraiya Kanafani from the Human Relations Institute and Clinics.
