Thoughts on Singing with Lloyd Malouf
”Sing as if no one is listening because they probably aren't.” - Bob Marley
When I was a child, I sang with pure abandon, as if noone was listening. We all did. At some point, we became aware of our voices, usually through a passing compliment or criticism from another. Becoming self-conscious of our singing, how did that change the freedom of our expression?
Each season, I invite my confidant and collaborator in life & art onto the podcast, Lloyd Malouf. Meeting 18 years ago at music university, where we studied Contemporary Performance, singing has been a central part of our lives and friendship over the years.
This month, we’re riffing on the topic of singing, and sharing what we’ve learnt and observed through our decades spent expressing & creating through our voice. We hope it inspires you to bring more singing into your own life.

Leading from Values with Carolina Villaça
How are you leading in your work and life? What values drive your choices and the way you show up in the world?
As we see increasing dissatisfaction with some of societies traditional leadership, our healthy future depends on strong leadership forming at a grassroots level. How can we be making a positive impact in our workplace, our family, our neighbourhood, our immediate communities?
Leading from our values is a way of connecting to our inner compass, where infinite wisdom and resources can be found. It’s how we listen to our body and environment when it lets us know we’re off our path.
Today I speak with designer, facilitator and social entrepreneur Carolina Villaça. With a focus on holistic sustainability, Carolina collaborates with socially-conscious organisations through her branding studio Amora Creative, designing and facilitating impact-driven strategies and leadership programs.
Carolina researches the intersection between Nature, Culture and Creativity; interested in how personal liberation and creative leadership can nurture communities and contribute to collective change.

Seasonal Sustainability with Sophie French
At what point did we disconnect so much from nature that we forgot we were a part of it? If we can’t prioritise and tend to our own health and wellbeing, it’s easy to see how this neglect can ripple out into the natural world at large.
Sustainability starts with tending to our own garden, adapting to seasonal changes and weaving our creative practise into these cycles. How can we thrive in alignment with nature, instead of swimming against the tide?
Today I chat with cycle coach, women’s business mentor and designer Sophie French, as we share our experiences in aligning with the natural seasons in our bodies, hormones, weather, creative process and life.

Authentic Promotion with Karina Wilson
Social media- we love to hate it. It can feel like feeding a hungry monster that never gives back. What if we could redesign our approach, to feel empowered and excited in our online creations, building meaningful relationships along the way.
On today’s episode, I’m speaking with Karina Wilson of Korporate Karina. Karina approaches marketing and branding as something playful and fun, a place to tell stories and express yourself, Madonna style.
In this conversation we talk about Karina’s colourful journey and how she invites her clients to break free from the ordinary and embrace their individuality, to connect to their audience in a vibrantly authentic way.
