Hello friends,

Thanks for dropping by the Lumieres Podcast once again, into the second episode now and it's starting to feel a little more real! I can already tell it's going to be quite a journey for me personally embarking on this project – one that will challenge me and push me in all the right ways. I hope you'll continue to follow the show as it unfolds, I have some great guests lined up over the next month but I'm not going to say any more on that for now – you'll just have to wait and find out!

As I mentioned in the intro, the world appears pretty crazy at the moment. In times like these it can be incredibly tempting to run and hide away from it all. Whilst that may help you process and calm down in the short term it's not a solution anyone can make real use of.

One of the most important things you can do for yourself and for those around you is to cultivate a radical level of self-care. By this I mean really attempting to make a practice out of looking after yourself. Maintain your sense of perspective and your connection to the ground beneath your feet. I wrote a piece published by Rebelle Society recently that explores what I mean by this term ‘radical self-care' and how to begin approaching the concept. I hope you'll check it out and do let me know if any of it resonates for you.

This episode features the beautiful and gifted singer, songwriter and musician Carrie Tree. It was recorded on a dark and windy night in mid-January and we had a lovely intimate chat about Carrie's life in music, including her experiences of being in the studio, her travels around the globe playing shows and getting inspired by the deep rhythms and soulful people of Mama Africa.

Keep on shining,

Jody
