"I lived on the streets… scrounging for food… praying no one I knew would see me."

That’s how Steve Carr started his story on this powerful episode of KohPhanCast - and I promise you, it's one you won't forget. 🌧️➡️🌤️

And in this episode of KohPhanCast, I had the privilege of holding space for one of the most raw, humbling, and courageous stories I’ve ever heard.

Steve is now a suicide prevention facilitator, trauma expert, and breathwork coach.

But before the titles came the pain - the real, relentless pain.He lost everything.

He battled addiction.He slept rough, not knowing where his next meal would come from.

And yet, he rose. Not just for himself… but for the people still lost in the dark.🌍

One day, Steve decided to walk the entire length of Great Britain to raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental health.

Every step he took was a reminder that healing is possible - and that none of us are broken beyond repair.

In this conversation, we explore:

the subtle signs people in pain might be showing but no one notice

show emotional regulation can be the difference between breaking down and breaking through

the role of breathwork in processing trauma and finding inner peace

and why vulnerability is the gateway to real strength

This isn’t just another podcast episode.

It’s a lifeline for someone who needs to know they’re not alone.

It’s a mirror for anyone who’s been to the edge and made their way back.

And it’s a powerful reminder that healing begins the moment we feel seen, heard, and held.💬

🎙️✨ There are moments on KohPhanCast where the conversation moves beyond words - and this episode with Katherine May Smith, was one of those moments.

May is a radiant singer-songwriter, a nomadic spirit, and a vessel for music that feels less like entertainment and more like sacred remembrance. 🌿🎶

She doesn’t just write songs - she channels.

Sometimes in English, sometimes in no language at all.

What comes through her voice feels ancestral, raw, and deeply human - as if the soul is speaking directly, with no filter.In this powerful conversation, we dive into how she reclaimed her voice - not just musically, but spiritually.

From overcoming the weight of limiting beliefs, to stepping away from what she was “supposed” to be, May's journey is one of courage, surrender, and deep trust.

She reminded me that real creativity doesn’t come from control - it comes from letting go. From softening into presence.

From saying yes to the unknown, again and again. 🌀

We speak about creating from intuition, honoring the silence between the notes, and what it means to make music that heals not just the listener - but the creator too.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever doubted their worth, stifled their voice, or forgotten their magic.

May’s story is a living invitation to remember who you are and to create from that truth.💬

What’s one truth you’ve been afraid to express?

Meet Yuli Fershtat aka Perfect Stranger! 🎧🙏🏼a unique Pioneer of progressive psychedelic music 🌌With 30 years big musical career behind him, deep grooves and tribal rhythms, he’s been moving minds and dancefloors across the globe 🔊✨🎧✨ It all started with a surprise birthday gift - a synthesizer.

No one expected it to lead anywhere serious, but that one instrument sparked something deep inside my guest.

What began as curiosity quickly grew into a 30-year love affair with trance music - one that would take him from his bedroom to dancefloors around the world.At first, he wasn’t sure he belonged. He didn’t grow up around DJs, he didn’t have a mentor - just a burning desire to express something he couldn’t quite put into words.

Music became the language. He taught himself, fumbled through mistakes, and kept showing up, gig after gig - sometimes to empty rooms, sometimes to crowds that felt like family.

And over time, something clicked.In this episode of KohPhanCast, I sit down with an artist who’s lived through the full spectrum - the doubt, the fire, the failure, the moments of bliss when everything just aligns.

His journey is about much more than beats and basslines - it’s about trusting your path even when no one else sees it yet. It’s about the long game.

The sacred dance between perseverance and passion.From underground clubs to massive festival stages, Yuli has seen how music can break you open and build you back stronger.

He shares not just stories, but the emotions that carried him through - the fears, the triumphs, and the quiet moments in between.🎙️ This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt the pull to create, to express, to connect.

For those who stayed true to the music even when it got hard.

And for those still waiting for their moment - this is your reminder that it’s never too late to answer the call.💬 What moment made you fall in love with music?👇 Drop your story in the comments - we’d love to hear it.🎥 Full episode premieres Friday July 18th at 7 PM GMT+7🔗 All links in bio🎙️ Real people - real stories - real depth.
