For our last episode of 2025, we didn't invite a guest, so it's just us, Maria and Kelly, having a spontaneous, fun, and hopefully very relatable chat!

Things we talk about:

• The cost of being multipassionate and having multiple interests and hobbies (all those subscriptions!)

• Showing our perfect lives online VS choosing to share the struggles and be open and honest about the messy middle.

• The overwhelm and chaos of modern life is because, let's face it, everyone is always busy, busy, busy!

• Balancing our offline and online lives.

• Things we've discovered about ourselves and how this surprised us.

• The impact of AI on the next generation and how this shapes our identity

What happens when you treat your whole life like a piece of music?

In this episode, we sit down with musician and creativity coach Katharine Rawdon to explore how she has created a life that blends classical music, multimedia art, writing, and Zen philosophy.

Things we talk about:

• Katharine's musical journey and how she found her multipassionate spirit.

• Living in Portugal for over a decade, and how it has influenced her musical path.

• Having one interest that sticks out, and how to still find time to pursue other things.

  
  

Tune in for a conversation that includes lots of musical puns, laughs and how to find harmony between all your different passions.

In this episode, we talk with multifaceted creative Jess Barker about the guilt that often comes with changing direction.

We explore the cultural pressure to stick to 'one thing', why changing your mind isn’t failing, and why saying “sorry” for pivoting is unnecessary.

Things we talk about:

• Jess's creative journey

• The pressure that comes with changing direction

• Feeling the need to justify our creative pivots

• How to embrace being a beginner in creativity

• Social media and being multipassionate

  
  

It’s a sort of permission slip for anyone changing direction and feeling the need to say sorry all the time.

In this episode, we talk with storyteller and columnist Carlos Garbiras about the messy, unexpected path that often leads to the most meaningful work.

From weird jobs to creative pivots, Carlos shares how detours can help you figure out what actually makes sense for you.

We talk about:

• How culture can shape the way we see our careers

• The odd jobs that ended up teaching him the most

• Finding joy in the process (even when things don’t go to plan)

• Building a creative identity

• Redefining what success really means

It’s a fun, honest conversation for anyone figuring it out as they go.

Ever feel like your brain is full of ideas and you don’t know where to start—or which one to pick? Same.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it’s like to live with a mind that never stops coming up with new ideas.

From the excitement of new projects to the overwhelm of wanting to do them all, we're getting into the chaos of having too many passions and not wanting to choose.

New episodes drop every first Wednesday of the month.
