Known around the world as the “Superfood Hunter,” Darin Olien became a household name through the Emmy-winning Netflix series "Down to Earth" with Zac Efron. But this conversation on Confessions at the Cabana goes far beyond health trends, superfoods, and biohacking. Darin sat down with Zoe Scott for what was supposed to be one kind of interview… and it turned into something completely different. In this intimate and inspiring Malibu conversation, Darin opens up about loss, purpose, relationships, spirituality, and what it really means to live consciously in today’s world. Zoe and Darin also dive into the importance of taking accountability for your life — owning your choices, facing hard truths, and realizing that healing, growth, and change ultimately start with you. The episode moves from wellness and survival to deeper conversations about the human experience, emotional resilience, personal responsibility, and the search for meaning. Darin briefly shares details about his upcoming documentary series exploring the meaning of happiness around the world, including episodes where he travels with Jason Momoa and Elijah Wood. This is not the polished version you usually see online. It’s raw, personal, funny, soulful, unexpected… and deeply human. From living in a tipi after losing his home, to questioning modern society, fame, health, and connection — Darin shares a side of himself that rarely gets seen. This episode explores practical habits for health, the role of vulnerability and listening, and how small consistent choices can lead to large, positive changes in yourself and the world. 🎙️ Confessions at the Cabana is Malibu’s raw and unfiltered podcast where celebrities, creatives, surfers, healers, and locals open up about life beyond the image.  

On this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, we do something that doesn’t happen nearly enough… We give an unhoused person the space to share his story. ~Daremo is a familiar face along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, walking daily with his two dogs, Sweets and Friend, cleaning up trash and caring for the community. Not for recognition—but in the hope of inspiring others to do the same. He doesn’t resonate with the word “homeless.” He prefers unhoused, reminding us that home isn’t a place—it’s something you carry within your heart. ~Daremo says he’s on a pilgrimage—living with purpose, devoted to serving God, and guided by compassion. But beyond his story, this conversation is an invitation… To slow down. To listen. To see the human being in front of you. Because so often, people who are unhoused are judged, dismissed, or overlooked—without anyone ever asking who they are, what they’ve lived through, or what they have to say. ~Daremo’s message is simple: Judge less. Love more. Care for each other and the world we share. He even hands out bumper stickers that read “Don’t Litter” and “Our Community Cares”—small reminders that we’re all responsible for this place we call home. This episode is about presence, compassion, and the power of giving someone a voice. New episodes drop bi-weekly on Tuesdays. Watch or listen—and maybe the next time you see someone who’s unhoused, you pause… and choose curiosity over judgment. If you’re in Malibu and see ~Daremo with Sweets and Friend, stop and say hi.

A Hollywood composer loses his home in the Woolsey Fire… but the studio where legends recorded is still standing. What does it mean to spend a lifetime creating music… and then lose everything around you—while the one place that holds it all… remains? In this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, we sit down with legendary Hollywood composer Richard Gibbs—a musician, storyteller, surfer, and family man whose work has shaped the emotional landscape of film and television for decades. Richard is best known for composing music for films like Say Anything, Dr. Dolittle, and Queen of the Damned, creating soundtracks that have reached millions around the world.

Musicians and bands such as Barbra Streisand, Coldplay, P!nk, and Dua Lipa have all worked out of the Woodshed—making it one of Malibu’s most quietly influential music spaces. Before his film career, Richard was also part of the influential band Oingo Boingo, alongside Danny Elfman, and has remained connected to the evolution of modern music—including his ties to bands like Korn, bridging worlds between orchestral scoring and alternative sound. But this conversation goes deeper. We talk about: -The reality of building a career in Hollywood—and the struggles along the way -The Woolsey Fire, where Richard lost his home—and why his beloved Woodshed Recording Studio, surrounded by destruction, did not burn -What that experience taught him about loss, rebuilding, and what truly matters in life -The power of community, and why he started the Composer Breakfast Club in Malibu -His latest passion project, the nonprofit Armory of Harmony, which transforms materials from confiscated guns into musical instruments for high school students—turning destruction into creativity and purpose This episode is about more than music.

Confessions of a Hollywood Therapist How to Manifest What You Want in 2026 People often say, “You have to go see Johnny O.” But the better question is: why does his work actually work? In this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, host Zoe Scott sits down with Johnny O’Callaghan, founder of The Healing Bar Studio in the Hollywood Hills, to explore what it really takes to heal, move forward, and manifest what you want — especially as we step into 2026. Johnny’s work lives at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and lived experience. He doesn’t lead with labels or diagnoses — he leads with results. As he puts it, he works on both “the goal line and the soul line,” helping people heal what’s underneath so life can finally move forward. After personally experiencing nearly every healing modality available, and becoming a father through adoption in Uganda, Johnny returned to school and earned a master’s degree in psychology with a specialization in spirituality.  At The Healing Bar, Johnny works with high-performing clients — including those in Hollywood — who feel stuck, disconnected, or off their path, even when they “have it all.” His approach integrates: Psychotherapy modalities Mindfulness and spiritual psychology Hypnosis and breathwork Coaching and somatic awareness. In this conversation, Johnny shares practical tools he uses with his Hollywood clients to  manifest from an aligned, grounded place — not survival mode. If you’ve been vision-boarding, setting intentions, and “doing the work” but still feel stuck, this episode may reveal what’s been missing.
