Diary of Sia Nas

Welcome back to Diary of Sia Nas! 🎙️

This week, we're talking about good neighbours, corruption, magical herbs, literary legends, witchcraft, movies, perseverance, and everything in between.

I dive into the wonderful book Magical Herbs and the incredible story of its author, Scott Cunningham. He wrote around 30 books during his life and sadly passed away at just 36. His story is one worth knowing.

We also explore Mary Shelley and Frankenstein — how she came up with the idea at 18, wrote it at 19, and saw it published at just 20. With a family and husband who encouraged her creativity, she was surrounded by literature from the very beginning.

I share my experience attending a full moon class at Spellbox, explore divination, and chat about the UK traders, my love of movies, and the wonderful world of The Good Witch films and series.

There are also some thoughts on intention, patience, perseverance, and seeing difficult things through, even when you'd rather rush ahead. And as an Aries, patience isn't always my strongest quality!

We get into hypersensitivity to other people's feelings, finding yourself in a foul mood, and the isolation that can come with working from home while caring for a parent.

I talk about trying art therapy, searching for a therapist who uses Schema Therapy, buying far too many books (if that's even possible!), and doing lots of spells. Oh, and losing my keys. Again.

Plus, I treated myself to Japanese ice cream and a fortune cookie. What did my fortune say? You'll have to listen to find out! 🥠

And of course, there's a little update on my business, Lippy Links. I've been working away behind the scenes, and I'd love your support.

The Merry & Bright collection is available now, featuring beautiful links with gold sparkles — perfect for the festive season! ❤️✨

Shop the collection at https://lippylinks.com and please share Lippy Links with your friends, follow along on social media, and help spread the word. Every bit of support means so much to me as an independent Australian inventor and business owner.

Finally, this episode might be my last podcast… but you'll have to listen right from the beginning to find out why.

Thank you to everyone who listens, follows, and takes the time to be here. I appreciate you more than you know.

🎧 Listen, follow, share and join me for another week of Diary of Sia Nas.

This week on Diary of Sia Nas, it's been a rollercoaster of frustration, anger, anxiety, a little depression, and plenty of witchy goodness.

After recording the first seven minutes of my podcast perfectly, I discovered that the next 45–50 minutes had absolutely no sound. Cue the rage!

After a few days to calm down, I sat down and recorded the whole thing again. The audio is very patchy and I added commentary while I was editing after. I do apologise!

In this episode, I'm talking about cops and thieves, chrysanthemums for protecting the home, financial teams, Oasis and their documentary, making mistakes, owning up to them, email disasters, being highly anxious and hypersensitive, complaining, and the reality that life isn't always easy.

We also explore money spells, holy basil, fire scrying, Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, medieval tea, Chinese prosperity coins, divination boards, pendulums, vampire vibes, and my latest witchy purchases.

Plus, there's the ridiculousness of US business taxes, catching a cold after a coughing kid in a doctor's waiting room, Cash, and the new Carrie series.

It's a week of learning, frustration, trying to find answers, and doing the best I can while juggling life, creativity, and my business, Lippy Links.

Sometimes things go wrong, sometimes you have to start again, and sometimes all you can do is take a deep breath and keep going.

Thanks for listening to Diary of Sia Nas!

Let's Get Connected!

Witchy Spells, Banned Books, Poverty Mindset, Lotto Win, PTSD | Episode 102

In this episode, I’m talking about a little bit of everything happening in my life lately. ✨

From experimenting with witchy spells and reading banned books to fighting a poverty mindset, winning a little money on the lotto, and starting Duolingo to learn Greek, there’s plenty to talk about.

I also chat about decluttering, X-rays and blood tests, living a life of quiet desperation, dealing with PTSD and anger, making music, and watching The Whale.

Life isn’t always easy, and sometimes it feels like you’re trying to figure everything out while juggling a hundred different things. But I’m trying to make changes, learn new things, clear some space, and find ways to move forward.

Hopefully, you enjoy this episode and follow along as I continue sharing my journey. ❤️

Episode 101. I’m back!

It’s been a long time since I last recorded a podcast, and a lot has happened while I’ve been away.

I’ve lost my dad, my uncle and other family members, invented a new product, launched a brand, had that product copied, and somehow made it through all the ups and downs that come with life and running a business.

I’m still a carer, now looking after my mum, and lately I’ve found myself feeling quite isolated at home. So I thought… why not bring the podcast back?

I miss connecting with people, and maybe sharing the ordinary things that happen in my day-to-day life will help me feel a little more connected to the outside world and maybe you’ll find something in it that you can relate to, too.

So here we go again: Episode 101.

And this time, I’m setting myself a goal of 1,000 episodes. Let’s see what happens!

I’ll be sharing my days, thoughts, ideas, challenges, little wins and whatever else life throws at me along the way.

If you’d like to come along for the journey, subscribe and follow the podcast. I’d love to have you here for the next hundreds of episodes!

And if you’d like to support me in another way, you can check out Lippy Links, the product I invented and brought to life while I was away.

Thanks for listening and welcome back to The Diary of Sia Nas!

So this is the last episode ever. Time to move on to greener pastures. Thanks so much to everyone who has listened and followed along on my journey, love you all long time. 

So in this last episode I talk about copyright issues I had with my lofi beat Garden State, I went to a lovely Christmas Lunch with strangers. I have been connecting with more family members. I watched quite a few movies including Top End Wedding which is a wonderful Australian movie that has a lot of heart. I was surprised to find The Hitman’s Bodyguard had a lot of laughs, an enormous amount of violence but a lot of heart too.  I also watched Deadpool. Have to say Deadpool 2 is my favourite. I also saw Love Actually which is one of my all time favourite movies.  

I have continued the Ableton course to learn how to use my music making program to make better beats.  I have a new millionaire mentor and I am hoping to follow his roadmap to make millions of my own!  I also been reading up to fill in my quota of reading ten books a year.  Plus lots more odd and ends.

Beat of the week is Flip It a gruff hip hop beat ready to kick your butt, hahahaha. Enjoy!

Thanks for listening. I love hearing from you so if you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact me on the social media platforms below.  Also please excuse my bad editing.

On the second last episode I talk about the very polite movie Stan & Ollie about the wonderful comedic duo Laurel and Hardy. It really is a must see. I got my new iPhone12 Pro and watched a great special on Netflix called Jerry Before Seinfeld which shows attitude is everything. Started a new course on Ableton to improve my music making skills and bought lots more courses for my creativity. I got my DNA pack from MyAncestry to find out about my heritage. I got a free one subscription to Apple TV because I got the new iPhone. I saw a songwriting special with Seal which I wasn’t too impressed with. I watched the new Taylor Sift special where she performs all the songs off her new album Folklore. See what I thought about her album. I watched a documentary about MTV which was very interesting and finished the week watching Mariah’s Christmas special which I loved and hated. See why.

Beat of the week is a lovely lofi beat called Garden State. It will chill you out for the week. I love the vinyl crackle it’s my favourite.

Thanks for listening.

The week started with my invention and contacting the manufacturer in Thailand then watching Spectre with my favourite Bond. I got an aunty to help me fill in more details of my ancestry tree and I ordered the new iPhone 12 pro! I watched Easy Rider and a new series on Netflix called Losers about people who have tried in sports and not succeeded but their lives weren’t over! I got some plugins from the Black Friday sales including RC-20, Sausage Fattner, Endless Smile and updated my Melodyne package. I made a beautiful beat inspired by a new uncle, listened to the new Miley Cyrus album Plastic Hearts and enrolled in a new Ableton course to take my beat making production to a new level. It’s been a busy week.

Beat of the week is Sounds a beat I made using different sounds such as aerosol cans spraying, air conditioner humming, city ambience, cassette tape playing inserting tape and closing, money flicking, champagne pouring, belt buckles, tennis balls, a cabinet closing, bicycle bell ringing and coloured pencils drawing. It's a full but simple beat.

Celebrating 12000 plays thanks to all who listen love you long time. Also showing off my new hair do. Perfect for summer nice and short. This week I chat about a new beat I made and songwriting to it. Kelly Jones talks about songwriting and the Stereophonics play. I watched season 4 of The Crown and got really mad at Charlie boy. I also watched the Eurovision movie with Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, wow it was 2 hrs long! I started reading Jessica Simpson's autobiography Open Spaces which is a bit of a hard read. I got the last of my make-up from the massive shopping spree I went of this year, it was from Juvia's Place and Kylie Cosmetics.  I spent a long time at the emergency department at the Eye and Ear Hospital and a long time working on butterflies which I didn't use! Plus lots more odds and ends. 

Beat of the week is Dunkin a heavy hip hop beat with distorted bass. Yes it’s supposed to sound like that, just to annoy everyone hahaha.

Finally a music based week. I watched a Netflix special on ZZ Top and a great new show called Song Exploder where artists like Alicia Keys and REM explain how one of their songs came to be. After this I discovered Alicia Keys new album Alicia and discovered a great new song called Good Job. It will bring you up if you're feeling down. Good Job Alicia haha. Quantum of Solace was the Bond movie of the week. It has two of my favourite scenes in it. 

I also watched a show about songwriters and this week was about Paul Anka who explains some of the wonderful songs he wrote including My Way which was written for and recorded by Frank Sinatra. I also watched lots of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and Bad Billionaires about some very bad billionaires who made a big mess with their businesses hopefully my spoiled nephew doesn't get into this mess when he is older! Plus odds and ends.

Beat of the week is All Good a lovely melodic mellow low fi beat that hugs you with musical goodness.

This week I got into a few uncomfortable conversations. I won money on The Melbourne Cup, I was thrilled to see Joe Biden win, good riddance to that nasty fool Trump. I saw a documentary on Netflix about the play Merrily We Roll Along by Stephen Sondheim and Hal Prince that was savaged by critics and closed after two weeks. I got some gorgeous eye lashes called Iconic and am looking at changing manufactures from Thailand to Vietnam. I made half a beat! Plus lots of odds and ends. 

Beat of the week is Commercial a dirty south type beat with a Cypress Hill flavour. Grungy and melodic.
