Interested in the personal battles against addiction? This chat on UK Health Radio’s *Feng Shui Your Way* offers something a bit different: a look at how beauty, wellbeing and spirituality can all feed into feeling better in yourself. Host Janine Lowe sits down with journalist and festival founder Abby Knight, whose 25-year career in health, beauty and lifestyle has taken her from captioning punk haircuts to interviewing icons like Joan Collins and Twiggy.
Abby shares how beauty journalism evolved from “gimme gimme” product pushes to more educated, savvy readers who now care about ingredients, rituals and long-term skin health. The conversation shifts into wellbeing, with Abby describing it as “more a state of mind, being sort of content and being… happy in your space,” stressing the link between mental, emotional and physical health.
She’s candid about periods of anxiety and how today’s greater openness around mental health, especially for men, can stop people bottling things up. You’ll also hear how spiritual writing for magazines such as *Spirit and Destiny* led Abby to energy healers, past life regression and numerology, eventually inspiring her Soul, Spirit & Wellbeing Festival in Essex, now approaching its ninth year and supporting small local charities like AA Dog Rescue and Essex Wildlife Trust.
A highlight for Feng Shui fans is Abby’s story of working with a consultant and then, as she puts it, “Within 14 months, I met my husband, had our son, moved house and got married in 14 months,” which cemented her belief in intentional energy work at home.
To round things off, Abby talks about Pure + Glow, her Asian-inspired skincare ritual with friend Tess Kelly, focused on rice bran soap, silk mitts and simple self-care that brings back “your inner glow”. If you’re curious how beauty, spirituality and everyday rituals can support feeling balanced and calm, could this be the conversation you need today?
