- Personal wellbeing is supported by simple habits such as healthy eating, spiritual practice, and regular movement.

What are the common struggles and victories in addiction recovery and wider wellbeing? This chat on UK Health Radio’s *We Empower!* show brings together art, ethics, and everyday courage through the voice of guest Patricia Moroesco, an actress, director, poet and creator whose work tackles human rights and gender-based violence. Hosted by Prof. Dr.
Anabel Ternès von Hattburg, the conversation is relaxed, intimate and occasionally playful, while circling around serious themes: women’s rights, social justice, and how to stay grounded when dealing with dark realities. Patricia shares how she works with NGOs like Extinction Rebellion and the Men Up Campaign, using her artistic skills and voiceover work to support climate activism and challenge gender-based violence, especially by involving young men instead of leaving feminism as “women’s work” alone.
She talks about transforming her own life experiences into projects such as her 22-character musical *Issa Luna* and the documentary *Every Woman*, both steeped in resilience, ethics and respect. A powerful story about helping an elderly woman with cancer in New York shows how her activism is lived, not just staged, and how karma and everyday kindness shape her path.
Patricia also shares the habits that keep her balanced: eating well, practising Buddhism through chanting, walking and sport, and using astrology to better understand her emotions and timing in life. Throughout the episode, she challenges commercial, violent narratives about women, calling for stories that reflect their real strength, care and contribution.
If you’re interested in women’s voices, ethical art, and practical ways to stay emotionally steady while facing tough issues, this conversation offers calm, honest reflection and plenty of food for thought. How might your own story become part of something bigger and kinder?
