This week Kate talks to DJ Barroness and co-founder of The House of Happiness, Emma Barron.  Emma has been DJing for roughly 4 years now. She is also a TV producer for C4. Emma always had a major interest in music and was a drummer in various bands, grew up on the clubbing scene in Manchester in the 90's and then London. She also spent many summers in Ibiza - so both old school house and Balearic sounds have influenced her music style today.  
 
After getting sober in 2017 Emma decided that she wanted to follow her  passion so bought some decks, booked a DJ course at Hub16 in Dalston to hone her skills and then got involved in some sober DJ events. She has  played gigs at various venues including House of Barnabus, Fugitive Bar Bethnal Green and more recently Ministry of Sound Members bar. One of her first gigs was doing warm up for Brandon Block on a boat party.
She shares the joy and connection of learning to party sober and finder her way back to her first love of music. 
London's House of Happiness first event is just a few weeks away on  Saturday 8th September 12 noon - 5pm. 
Grab a cuppa and let's chat.

NEW SEASON LOVE SOBER PODCAST 2.0 Dufflyn Lammers & Kate Baily

In this episode I have the privilege of talking to the gorgeous author Suzy Greaves about the vital skill of self-care and its foundational place in managing our wellbeing. Inner and outer care, self-respect, self-talk, boundaries and empowerment are just some of the topics we touch upon in this episode as Suzy shares her passion, compassion and wisdom. 
Suzy is a mother of two, an author, Chartered Psychologist and Coach. She specialises in self-care, helping people manage their stress, emotions, and energetic bank balance. It was her life experience of motherhood colliding with the terminal illness of her father that sparked her passion for self-care which she now teaches to her clients, young and old, to cope during periods of stress, loss and change and to boost their resilience in the face of future challenges. Suzy is the Psychology Expert for wellbeing brand Neom Organics and is a founding member of the ‘Nourish’ app. She figure-skated her way through her childhood, growing up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, and now makes her home in the hills of Hertfordshire, UK. Her first book ‘The Self-Care Revolution’ published by Aster came out in 2017, 'Stand Tall Like a Mountain: Mindfulness & Self-Care for Children and Parents' and 'The Little Book of Self-Care’ came out in 2019. ‘Self-Care for Tough Times’ and her first children’s book ‘This Book Will (Help) Make You Happy’ were published in 2021. Her first journal And Breathe,  Sit to Get Fit and her new deck of cards, “The Little Box of Self-Care” came out in 2022. Rest to Reset is hot off the press now, just in time to shake off the winter blues and boost the rebirth of Spring.
