Niko Otis is a genre bending rapper/singer mixing hip hop, soul and funk. Born in the Bay Area, his dynamic wordplay and energetic live shows leave fans fulfilled and wanting more. I've seen him play live and the elevated feeling I was left with was, "this is true hip hop and vital entertainment."

On this episode we go into his creative process in the studio and on stage and he shares the process behind creating one of his songs, "Bloom." We also learn about the well-known musicians in his family that inspire his career, including bandleader and R&B impresario Johnny Otis and his uncle Shuggie Otis.

To conclude the chat, Niko shares the philosophies that inspire his art and life.

Enjoy and keep an eye and ear out for his cutting-edge music here on Spotify.

I really enjoyed this authentic convo with Santa Cruz, CA native, Heather Christie. She is a cutting-edge human, wife, mama, facilitator, teacher and artist that gives herself permission to explore wherever her artistic inspiration takes her. Daughter of Deadheads, she was inspired by the uplifting, trancey vibe that the psychedelic jam music and community imprinted on her. She has a genre-shifting attitude that makes her embodied, “Livetronica” brand and performances original, accesible and dynamic. 

On the podcast, we dug into her big “why” behind art and we also cover the more recent development of moving out of the fear of having to either choose music or motherhood to her current, “both/and” mentality. Via her music, Möonbabe Records and Mind Body Music ventures, she is rewriting the “Womanual” of navigating music and motherhood at the same time.

Andrew Sealy, Yoga and His Love of Life... Injoy this very inspiring convo!

May you feel as uplifted as I did after hearing what this Acro-Yogi and entrepreneur had to share. Overall, he states that we’re living during urgent times, community connection is essential to well-being and that it is important to trust the passion of your heart and follow it. You will enjoy his answer to the question, “Is there such a thing as a fully realized or fully vital human being?” 🫘

On this episode we went deep into his life, hearing about his daily rituals (that have him living a life of what I would describe as, “organized joy”). He also shares about some of his current projects: 200hr yoga certification retreats, developing a cacao farm and online Yoga certifications.

In this episode we discuss:

We conclude our chat with his Big Break story and how it led him to start living life from a place of “ATTRACTING” rather than “reaching for.” Life isn’t happening to you it can be happening for you!!
