A bit more about Asiya:
I’m Asiya, the founder of Asian Miscarriage Hub on Instagram. I created this page to help normalise the talk of baby loss and infertility in the South Asian community. These topics are still seen as taboo and I question why? Miscarriage rate is 1 in 4 it’s about time we started normalising and supporting each other than brushing it under the carpet.
I’ve trained as a fertility coach to help couples, I use the NLP techniques to help couples/ women through their journey.
To get in touch you can find me on Instagram and Facebook by the name of Asian Miscarriage Hub.

In this episode of Every L Podcast, Timi discusses his journey towards unconditional self-love and acceptance. He delves into the impact of capitalism on our self-worth and how education systems are not accommodating of different learning styles or mental health conditions. Additionally, Timi speaks about the rise of the Internet and how it democratises the economy, allowing people to make money without traditional qualifications. He also touches on financial education and how it can potentially reduce the amount of tax the government collects. Finally, we explore the impact of the capitalist system on job satisfaction and happiness, and the potential for change.
A bit more about Timi:
Timi Merriman-Johnson is an award-winning financial content creator, podcaster, author and founder of Mr MoneyJar, a UK-based financial education company.
Mr MoneyJar offers accessible, practical financial guidance, through digital content, events and 121 coaching, and has been featured on the BBC, LadBible and Sky News.
Timi is an ambassador at National Numeracy, an independent UK charity that promotes the importance of numeracy, and creates educational content for all, covering topics such as budgeting, saving, getting on the property ladder and investing.
Timi is also the host of The Mr MoneyJar Show, a weekly podcast, featuring individuals and organisations who are using money to create a positive impact.
Why was this created?
In 2013 I went through a very tough time with work and spiralled into depression. I shut myself away from everything and every one after being falsely accused and shunned by those pending investigation. How I was impacted my relationship with my wife, mum and anyone else who cared for me but I didn't care. I was ok and didn't see how this situation was 1) fair when I didn' do anything and 2) how my life would be better after this.
I didn't look for anything like this but I know that if I heard a series of stories from other people's lives where things didn't go as intended and what the outcome was it would have helped me to have faith that things will work out in the end. So fast forward to 2022 when I was months away from being a dad to twins (my 2nd and 3rd child) I launched this podcast which I hope will provide hope, and encourage and remove the stigma around topics that are often described as taboo.
Just because we are not in a position to take a picture and share it on social because its not exciting at the moment or we are not in a great place doesn't mean we are losing at life when in most cases it is a part of the process. Your right now is not your forever and nothing about a caterpillar tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
