The Power of Practice and Knowing Your Shit with Kate Ceberano

It was 1992.  My bedroom was filled with lit candles. I’d strung one of my mother’s chunky pendants onto a velvet ribbon and had it tied firmly around my neck, hair badly flattened in a vain attempt to train it into the choppy layered look that was popular at the time. I’d swiped my dad’s Jesus Christ Superstar CD and I was ready to play Mary, Jesus and Judas simultaneously. My parents had taken me to see the production a few months earlier and Kate Ceberano had immediately become my Beyonce. Before Beyonce was even Beyonce. 

Fast forward a few decades and I’m pleased as punch (literally - you can hear the joy in my voice on this episode!) to have the illustrious Kate Ceberano as a guest on the podcast this week. 

In this episode Kate and I chat about the power of practice, coping as a creative during lockdown, and why ‘Know your shit!’ is the best advice you’ll ever hear. Kate is not only one of the loveliest people I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing she's also full of golden advice for living a productive yet calm and kind life. She’s honest, raw and so generous in sharing her knowledge and experience in this episode. 

‘I’m fearless when it comes to putting myself out there for an opportunity. I’m not afraid failure.’ - Kate Ceberano
