Unapologetic AF: Thrive beyond people pleasing and perfectionism

I reflect on the stage as a lifelong “home,” describing performing from a young age and how dance and spoken word helped me share my story and the journey I went on with eating disorders.

• I speak on how audiences resonate with stories and your journey when it's intertwined with emotions, creating human-to-human connection
• I explore the idea of masks worn by 'choice' vs masks worn by 'armour'
• The stage wants your ugly truths which is a practice we're going to move through in THE REHEARSAL ROOM - a practice to share an ugly truth out loud and be witnessed in that.

We begin on Tuesday 18 August.

In this episode I speak about where the hell I’ve been for 6 months!! I speak on how 2025 felt like one big setback, from not receiving desired outcomes to being challenged about my work in conversations and how that felt so hard but on hindsight, supported me to go into deeper enquiry about my medicine.

Key takeaways from this episode:

1. Can we stand in firm and in devotion to our medicine even when we are challenged and the people in our lives don’t agree with what we’re doing?
2. God/the Universe will send signs of what you’re meant to be doing and your purpose (hence, I’m back baby!)
3. It’s okay to feel like there have been setbacks, it’s okay to move through the real human experience of that and take your time. It’s part of the process.

In this episode we delve deep into the idea of what it means to expand on the idea of and redefine success as WOC creative visionaries and artists who are on an entrepreneurial path. I reflect on my summer of ‘failed’ launches and how actually they could never be failures.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Success also gets to be about how much you’ve expanded as a human being when you push the boundaries with your creative expression
• How do we redefine success so that it keeps us anchored to the creative path even amidst the challenges?
• Can we rethink what it means to fail?

We are back baby! After a month away, I was itching to get back to the mic and to you lovely lot! In this episode I explore this idea of healthy relational compromise for WOC, especially for those of us who’ve witnessed ‘compromise’ as actually being self-sacrifice and self-abandonment for the women in our lineages. 

Key takeaways from this episode:

• On my solo holiday I realised I actually don’t want to compromise all the time, and need time and space to just make decisions for myself and do what I want to do.
• As WOC we need to cultivate intentional time to intrinsically get to know ourselves, our preferences, wants, needs and desires. 
• Understanding who we are at every stage of our own evolution, can only benefit the relationships we have and attract into our lives in terms of alignment and compatibility.

Ep 12: Getting naked in relationships

In this episode I speak on the grief that emerges as your mask melts, you soften inside of you body, and cultivate the safety to be in your authentic expression. This has been feeling very alive for lately, and is definitely quite a vulnerable share!

Key takeaways from this episode:

• It’s instrumental to create space in the body for grief as you navigate your journey of unfolding into your emotional and spiritual nakedness.
• The landscape, language and flavour of grief is love.
• Grief isn’t a sign something is going terribly ‘wrong.’ It’s a beautiful sign that parts of you are falling away, paving the way for authentic you to emerge.

Doors to NAKED are OPEN, and I currently have availability for 2 beautiful cycle-breaking WOC to work with me for the remainder of 2024.
