Naomi’s getting into spirituality after resisting it for years, and even though she says mantras aren’t her thing, she gives us some brilliant ones to think about throughout the episode. She’s now allowing space for the universe to deliver her what it needs to, and damn is it working!

Emma and actor/writer Naomi Denny sit down over a cuppa to talk about finding balance, the laws of attraction and how to inject playfulness into your work.

They also dive into the passion behind Naomi's latest play, "Unseen Unheard" (Theatre Peckham), where she takes pride in bringing untold stories, particularly those of the Global Majority, to the stage.

Writer and performer Dan Wye has carved a beautiful career for themselves by making people laugh both as themselves and through their drag persona, Séayoncé, a deliciously filthy and yet wise ghost-whisperer, who every creative should meet.

In their latest show, Res-Erection (The Second Cumming), they take the audience on a journey that urges them to live their lives to the full and not to let their fears get in the way of anything they truly desire … for example auditioning for a production of Titanic the Musical.

Dan shares with us so much about writing and live performance, ultimately urging us to find the enjoyment in what we are doing, rather than looking for what might go wrong. There’s chat on setting yourself performative deadlines, making work as a human with ADHD and using mistakes as a way to create more laughs.

Dreams can come true! You know you got to have them … So Evie Pickerill shows us with her story of landing her dream job as a Cbeebies presenter. As she retells the tale from making her presenter reel on a dime in her back garden, to the audition in Manchester, to getting a call nearly a year later with the good news, there’s so much magic in this episode.

LIPA graduates and old friends Emma and Evie also discuss grief, and how it can feel to lose a loved one at a time when everything else seems to be going pretty well.

They also touch on social media and how to curate your feed to be the best for you, going back to the breath and having interests outside of the arts.

CW // Grief

This Episode is dedicated to our wonderful friend, talented soul and wicked singer, Emily Chesterton.
