Episode Six - Mac Perry (@macperrynaise)
It’s good to be back! After a short hiatus, we’re coming in hot with episode 6 of the show where you can hear me chatting with good friend and talented young artist Mac Perry.

Episode Five - Bobby Brown (@btsbobby)
Bobby Brown is someone who strives to inspire, teach and create joy with everything he does. Part of his work as a manager or self-described “artist representative” encompasses that role of mentorship and guidance to the highest degree, shaping and growing the talents of 2 notable acts: Karl Benjamin, and Brighton’s Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn. We admit in our conversation that this chat could’ve gone on for hours - as to be expected when you get two Jamaican chatterboxes in the flow - and run through novel topics like:
✅ Planning the best funeral (make it a party)
✅ How to express yourself physically through art and movement
✅ How to challenge your thinking and philosophy (seek spaces where people don’t agree with you)
One of my favourite moments was Bobby’s description of his perfect day - a question I think I’ll ask a lot more on this show as our time goes on. Thanks for listening (it’s been a while since the last episode, I know, but I’ve got plans for season 2 so stick with me here!). Sending love and reminding you to always Trust Your Journey x

Episode Four - Jade Hylton (@the_hylton)
In episode four of the podcast I chat to my soul sister Jade Hylton, who's helped me spiritually many times and - like all my guests - has inspired me through her commitment and dedication to her craft. It was a pleasure getting together to record this chat with her and I've already found it help me in my own life, especially when it comes to her amazing gem about "being selfish" in the right way. Have a listen, and remember to always Trust Your Journey x
