Don't Talk To Me About Work

Buckle up, odds and ends, because Kaity and The Lady J are going on a journey. One of J's best friends joins J to tell her own story of getting into the music business, being passionate about her work, seeking balance, mental health, the Millennium Falcon, and much more. You don't want to miss a minute of this extended episode!

Bea and The Lady J meander through her career trajectory, chatting about her creativity, self-confidence, and sex work. The two touch on topics of workers' rights, tattoos, continuing education, being from The North (in the U.K.), and even give a shout out to wrestler Britt Baker!

Erin and Lady J have an amazing chat about books, politics, wrestling, staying at jobs, social commentary, tattoos, twitter - you name it, it's in here. Much gratitude to Erin for not only coming on for a chat, but for being very open and forthcoming about her feelings on her last job, and how she has managed to strike a balance with her new job.

Lady J is joined by Stella Cheeks, mover, shaker, and all-around creator, lady in flux, who shares a lot of powerful thoughts. Many thanks to her for getting real on the podcast, especially after losing her wonderful fur baby just a few days earlier. Be sure to reach out with love for Stella on her socials - we are sure you're all going to have a lot of thoughts on this one! [Also WARNING: this episode contains many f-words.]

Just enough time for a quick recap - The Lady J spends a few minutes going through the episodes so far, discussing what we are learning and have taken away from each conversation. She also spends a little time discussing where she'd like the podcast to go next and what she's hoping to focus on. Don't forget to share YOUR ideas and insights, too!

Episode 6 features a conversation with The Lady J's friend Adam who works with the Alumni Association at Harvard University to plan class reunions. They talk about how he discovered his calling, how his theater training helps him put on "a show with no rehearsals", and what we can all learn from the classes of the past.

Welcome to episode 5 where The Lady J had a delightful chat with her friend Miss Mary Lou! Mary is currently the host of a YouTube channel, Tea Time with Mary, and a podcast called PositiviTea! The two chat about how she became a content creator, but also how she has built a sense of community, and what she hopes the projects she shares are giving to her audience. It's a wonderful - and silly - sit down!

Thanks for checking out part 2 of The Lady J's interview with Mike, a carer/caregiver! They spend this half of the conversation talking a bit about professional care versus family care, the Dignity in Dying bill in the UK, comparing US and UK care practices and much more! They are also briefly joined by a tiny bird and at the end, well...who knows what happened.

The Lady J is joined this week by her good friend Mike who is a carer (or caregiver, for my American listeners) in the U.K. In the first half of their chat, Mike and J discuss how he got into caregiving, what helped him to realize that he had a knack for it, and even a bit about the award he won last year. Part 2 comes next week!

For episode 2, The Lady J's guest is her longtime friend Kristine who talks about her career path to becoming a vocalist. They talk firetrucks, jazz, world travel, and the path less traveled. Plus - yes, she even gives us a taste of her talents! Learn all about this powerhouse singer and how her talents brought her to D.C.
