The Creative Zone with Tali Brash

Joe Salanitri is one of the members of the hilarious ethnic Comedy Trio - Sooshi Mango!

I met Joe a few years ago, we were working on a Chemist Warehouse advertisement and he was dressed an old lady. Need I say anymore?

Joe shares about how 'Sooshi Mango' began and opens up about how he came to find creative expression later on in life and that it's never too late to start. He also shares about  how he moved through challenging times and shifted his mindset from fear to following what he loved and taking action each day to make it happen. 
This is a really inspiring episode! 

We speak about: 

• The journey of creating Sooshi Mango and what led to it's success 
• The challenges of mental health 
• How to navigate those negative thought patterns
• How to shift your mindset from fear to taking action towards your dream
• The benefits of what creative expression can bring to your life
  And so much more! 

ABOUT SOOSHI MANGO:
Sooshi Mango is an Australian comedy troupe made up of two brothers, Joe and Carlo Salanitri and their close friend Andrew Manfre.

Sooshi Mango’s rise in Australian comedy has been nothing short of meteoric with the troupe amassing over 130 million views online via their hysterical video skits and hitting stages in Australia and around the world, and selling out every show of their first solo tour “Fifty Shades of Ethnic” in 2019.

Their characters, most notably their ethnic dad and ethnic mum characters, have made their way from video skits to live stages and all the way onto our tv screens where they have appeared on popular tv programs and in tv ads.

When you hear the word 'confidence' what does it bring up for you?

Recently I've been reflecting on what it is to be truly confident. Because the version of confidence I had growing up was very much a masked and 'fake' kind of confidence. These last few years for me have been about finding a confidence within myself that is a lot more subtle. It's looked like staying true to my word, showing up consistently and speaking my truth.

A lot of people I have coached and mentored have reflected that they feel more confident in their self expression and their ability to share their work and their gifts with less self doubt holding them back.

So in today's episode I speak about a few different ways you can navigate and explore what confidence looks and feels like for you. That it may be different to the ego's version in your head.

You'll also get to meet one of my new voices characters - Haylee with a K, Kaylee!

As always, I love hearing what resonates for you in these episodes, so please feel free to reach out on Instagram, leave a review on Apple Podcasts and share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it.

Much love,
Tali

In this episode you'll discover how to creatively build a healthier relationship with your inner child. How to take care of their needs, hear them and also set healthy boundaries with them so they don't play out in your life in a dysfunctional way. 

It's when our inner child isn't heard or looked after, we can often seek these needs to be met in all the wrong places. Partner relationships, teachers, employers, friends etc.

I share the characterisation of my own inner child, 'Little Lisa', who at first is a little shy but stay with it...she's pretty cute.

My hope is that this episode will inspire you to take the time to get to know your inner child, to nurture them and find rituals and ways to incorporate them into your adult life.
And that by reconnecting with your inner child, your joy, imagination and creativity come alive.
