Episode 42 - Hayley Thomas

from K&A Podcast Hosted by Aidan Hampson

This week, Karl and Aidan invite Hayley Thomas to the Pod Lodge. Hayley is the founder of Miaza and brings an honest conversation about health, balance, and looking after yourself as a performer. Hayley works with people who feel physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually out of sync. In this episode, she talks specifically about how musicians can keep their bodies and minds healthy while performing. From managing physical strain to staying grounded on stage, it is a vital listen for anyone who plays live. We also take questions from listeners, covering the real stuff that comes up when you are trying to balance creativity with wellbeing, and Karl is surprised with a very special birthday present along the way. If you are a musician, performer, or creative who wants to stay healthy and keep doing what you love, this one is well worth a listen.
