Ibiza - The Reset Rebel

Ruth Ramsay ditched a career in journalism to be a Strip Tease artist.

In 2001 she signed up for classes at the London School Of Striptease and fell in love with the empowerment, creativity, freedom and fun she found in the artform. 

That was the start of 12 exciting years which saw her dancing performing internationally, modelling, teaching striptease, pole dancing, and campaigning for the rights of adult entertainment workers.

She is an aduly sex educator and sex coach and recently gave a TEDx talk at Can Ventosa where I hosted her on stage right here in Ibiza where she also has a second home after falling in Love with the island.

Ruth has spent the best part of two decades talking about Sex and todays episode was not different, although it was only supposed to be a coffee which i ended up recording, so Thank You Ruth for being a good sport and letting me hit publish!!

Musicology. The name of the 28th studio Album of legendary artist, Prince.
Googling the name of it,  todays guest found that it in facts means "the scholarly analysis and research-based study of music."
Nicc Johnson, who grew up on the island, promptly left his job as a DJ  after growing up on Ibiza, and went off to study. 
He now runs a company called Music Health that looks at the way “music activates neurons in more regions of the brain than almost anything else scientists know of and causes the release of neurochemicals in our brains.” - Daniel J. Levitin.

In todays conversation on my front porch, we explore the ways music holds centre-stage in the orchestra of our body and mind and plays an essential role to our health and wellbeing.
How many hours a day do you listen to music? Did you know music can be a workout for the brain and make it fire in different ways that can be hugely beneficial for its long term health, performance and muscle memory?

It was a huge honour to have this chat straight off the bat of Nicc´s TEDx Dalt Vila  here in Ibiza at Can Ventosa last week and when his talk video is ready on Youtube, we will add that link to these show notes so check back soon to see him in action on stage.

As ever, if you enjoy this podcast, Please leave us a review on Apple podcasts or Spotify, it really changes the game in the way we are visible and found.

Fancy learning to podcast in paradise?

How can we use our grief as activism? 
That was the subject of Holiday Phillips talk at this weeks TEDxDalt Vila. 
Arm chair activism is one thing when you sign endless petitions from the comfort of being behind a screen, what does it mean to meet that pain, the discomfort and those feelings full force and process them before weaving them into a narrative that perhaps creates a while new discourse for action?
Holiday Phillips is a not just a speaker, but also a writer, organisation and community advisor - as well as an activist and Her work centres on moving from oppression to liberation and disconnection to love. 
We have had so much in the way of disconnect the last years so to hear the talk of Holiday Phillips today feels timely, but also poignant in a moment where there is so much pain and a very real need for new ideas. 

Today we speak about the death of her sister and what that really meant for her before she moved to the island as well address the elephant in the room over the lack of racial diversity that ibiza has in all areas
And why that could be. 

Plus we have a chat about Megxit - and how Holiday felt about the way Meghan was treated by the Royals and the UK Press. 

Follow her on Instagram @holidayphillips and please do leave us a review - it really helps us get found ! 

Thank You! 

How do you create a soundtrack to a moment?
Something that adds rather than takes something away?
Sunset is always such a special moment on Ibiza.
People have made whole careers out of soundtracking it on the island, including Jose Padilla, who is sadly no longer with us.
He was managed once upon a time by todays guest, DJ and music lover, Pete Gooding who was a super fan and has many magic memories of the man himself which he shares with us today.
Pete has been off and off the island for the best part of three decades dipping in and out of radio presenting and DJing, he now works and manages a range of artists full time.   Pete has been a resident DJ at Cafe Mambo in Ibiza since the summer of 1996, is regularly seen laying it down for sunset at Hostal La torre and has compiled many of the Cafe Mambo compilation series with Universal Records.
He is also one half of the selection team behind the Hostal La Torre compilation series, of which there has only been four to date, but have a fond place in our hearts.
Thank you to our podcast editing team ResetRebelProductions - 
RRP run podcast courses and the next one is 17 and 18th April at the hub Ibiza. 

Ibiza is the place in the world where people miss their return flights more than any other. 
But on the way to move here in 2006,  armed with this office chair, Mart Storck missed his.
He was leaving Germany to become Art Director of the magazine, Ibiza Style and he never went back to living his former existence, as he was completely in Love with Ibiza after coming here to party for many years before making the permanent move.
He used to work in nightlife and allowed his bar to turn into an after party and got involved with the techno scene.
Mart Lives in Cala D´Hort and enjoys his peace now and goes out a lot less as during the season he is busy with producing the magazine.
In todays episodes Mart shares his favourite three restaurant tips and some of the characters he has met through his work shooting the characters on the island that make his job such a joy.

What makes a female founder ?

Ahead of International Women´s day on 08 March and a speech Eleanor Manley will be giving at Nato, we meet the 25 year old who launched her tech company at the grand old age of 22.

We talk about tech and her passion for the industry and why more girls should not just code, but get into the tech industry and why she is already mentoring  other women.

She has already come up against a few challenges as a 7 strong female only company, that is making waves in tech land and declined investment on that basis.

In todays episode we celebrate not just our fifth podcast birthday, but also the way Eleanor is empowering women to find their voices in the workplace and to speak up and report incidents of misconduct and abuse. 

Follow us on @theresetrebel and also Eleanor and Mettaspace in Linkd In.

Some people talk about writing books, some people actually do.
In ibiza that is no mean feat.
Hearing the story of how Christian Len gathered more than 80 interviews from the characters of the island in oral form and transformed them into Balearic - a book dedicated to charting the club history of the island, felt like a chat worth having.
We also used to work together at Ibiza Sonica Radio when I first arrived to the island and I was Director of Pioneer DJ Radio, but only briefly. 
I could not handle my office being the broadcast studio and listening to techno all day and I I left right after three months.  In  todays conversation, we also talk musicology and why some sounds aggravate while others soothe. Plus what it means to be in a talking body. Christian recently became a part of a brand new association to support the DJ community of the island and got married.
He is a busy man and we loved todays chat.

Happy Belated Valentines Day!
How Are you feeling this week  - the week when this day we are told should be all about Love falls?  Loved? Lonely?  Bewildered? Confused? Frustrated? Sad? Alone?
I had some questions of my own when I returned to the magic sands of Goa a few weeks ago. But after 12 days Reconnecting to source and doing the things I LOVE  - life took a delightful and much needed UP turn. From seeing heart shaped leaves in the trees to the incredible stories of the ways Bees interact and create food for us without us asking them to or needing anything from us to do so, there they are,  unconditionally doing their thing and providing us for us. Just. Bee-ing.
I witnessed a female farmer tell me the story of the ways trees pollinate and make LOVE through the wind and are  often just as confused as the rest of us -  but the farmers are patient   and so very accepting and love them no matter what sex they turn out to be, because it takes almost a decade to find out whether their LOVE will create anything at all. All this got me thinking and observing....and eventually after riding motorbikes and feeling the wind in my hair, getting back on my yoga matt and bending and breathing and  eating salads, devouring tropical fruits and playing Beach Volley ball and getting grounded with my feet back in the sand? 
I am back in my body. I gave myself the gift of some space to process a whole bunch of feelings I couldn´t make time for back home in the busyness of reality.....and I wantred to share some of this with you today. 
So, In todays 30 minute episode, I give you five little LOVE nuggets of my time away.
Take from it what you will..... let it wash over you. I would love to hear any thoughts or revoews of the episode if you have time on our Apple Podcasts page.  And if you don´t care about India? Fear not!!  Next week we are back on Ibiza stories and people again. BUT???    if you wish to follow AND hear more info inbetween podcasts, and support my new newsletter, I shall be writing weekly effort, starting next week, with excerpts, give aways and pictures from island life, so DO please come and subscribe on my brand new page and first letter,  Coming VERY Soon:
