Live performance recording from our YouTube session <3 Los Gansters Tambien Lloran - Sebastian Lugo Written by Sebastian and VelezSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talkin all about grassroots. From a longtime friendship to business partners of the popular @saycheese_footscray, the duo understand the flow of true team work whilst experiencing a family-like bond between each other and their team. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s no better way to start a season than with some movement and that’s what we’re bringing with the incredibly skilled and deadly members on the dance floor. They are teachers in their respective dance styles and role models in the dance community.  To master the art of dance is one thing, whilst honouring and expressing the cultural history is another. Upholding the dualities is not only an act of a true artist, but a reminder of what we rebel for.  Guest Call Out: Antagonize proposed to be on the show prior, highlighting that this is an open space to be invited into conversations.  Note: The audio levels are quite inconsistent in this one due to the hybrid of in person and virtual guests. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In reflection, it's been interesting to see how these two areas are intercepting as we speak. How allowing myself to explore my perspective and relationship with the two were key in this new chapter. The importance of showing up authentically both personally and digitally is a navigation on implementing boundaries, whilst leadership naturally unfolds within the space you create for yourself. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our last episode before we change things up, and a touching one of that. We delved into the value of understanding our systems and foundations both internally and externally, in order to achieve consistency in growth. Whilst working presently from a place of need/require will lead us to what we earnestly want/desire. How accepting and working with the ‘worst versions’ of ourselves is the ultimate place to truly transform. To learning to accept, love and nurture ours and each other’s vulnerable selves is the journey we are all inevitably on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our second solo episode on the eclipse day! T'was one when showing up on a sat morning felt a bit rough but I'm so glad we did as we unpacked honest and introspective insights from my discovered formula for self-esteem and self-worth, to how asian beauty standards/stereotypes have prolonged my connection with my cultural identity and more. It feels like journaling but on-air live and I kinda love it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode was so special to me, because it was truly a new chapter and I had no idea how it would go, if I would even be able to interview myself. I could feel this theme of womanhood be such a core subconscious chapter for some time now and to bring it to the conscious and ethos felt so healing. It's brought clarity in who I am and who I'm becoming and zest for my forever evolution.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode was an earnest discussion on how committing wholeheartedly to your purpose can create a certain simplicity in your life. How it not only allows you to show up for yourself but also how it allows you  to be more emotionally available to yourself and others. How it shows you what real support feels like and how it’s formed. To creating from a place of vulnerability and one’s life experiences, for that is how we can all truly connect.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This was a beautifully healing episode where we were able to delve into our personal perspectives and journeys as adoptees. From the important reminder that finding a sense of belonging comes from self-acceptance, trust and self-assurance that it is safe for us to belong with ourselves. To the unique challenges we can face around identity and culture. And how many creative adoptees devote themselves to the interception of humanitarian and mixed media work, to influence and implement tangible social change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Artist Call Out: Ejip was an artist who had reached out for the opportunity to be on the show, to apply go to the link in bio to apply.  This episode had so many real conversations and responses, from the importance of opening yourself to feedback and correction by authentically expressing yourself. To navigating yourself as a rapper within the rap culture and the practice of upholding your values. To the importance and pursuit of confidence and competency. How it all comes down to being real with yourself, others and the commitment to betterment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest Call Out: JBN had proposed to be on the show.  This episode we delved into what can limit and restrict our expression of our individuality, if it is from trauma that needs attending or acquiring financial stability. How where we feel anger is a reflection of the places we need to place boundaries. The importance of having an outlet for our anger and frustration is essential for our growth and inner peace. How passion, discipline, practice and resilience is the key to attain and master in a field that may not have felt natural at first. And how our creation in anything we do is a skill that asks to be mastered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our first episode live on air was a wholesome radio reunion with two creatives and friends. The importance of trust was highlighted throughout, within your own craft and those you work with. How vulnerability and authentic expression in one’s art will always be the most fulfilling and impactful. Whilst also remembering the value of also having a positive impact on others through the practical services we provide in our day jobs (from a medical doctor and primary school teacher). It was a beautiful reminder that our journey with whatever we choose to do or how many hats we get wear. The value is in our positive impact and fulfilment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Values are a core theme that comes up in the city hippie episodes, but there is always something new to discover and realise from it. As we touched on topics of discipline, happiness, boundaries, achieving goals and choosing what is right for us. It always comes back to it. Values seem to be the foundation of everything, and our awareness and honour of them truly reflects who we are and the reality we experience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guests: Tom Nathersole & Gearon  The topics we touched on in this episode felt refreshing to our ears and minds. Yet the resonance and understanding of every point we brought up to each other, only reflects the truth and shared experiences we have all individually felt and observed. There was a lot of comfort and love in this episode, space was not only held for each other but for the queer community as a whole. Whilst positive change in many areas are crucial, it can start simply by spreading more kindness to everyone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode was an exploration on many topics revolving around royalty and self-royalty. From how we honour ourselves to taking responsible actions to what is in our power. To accept and forgive ourselves when we sometimes can’t help but fixate on our intentions, what we feel entitled to and how we want to be seen. But when we simply focus on taking accountability and actioning positive impacts, it becomes royalty at its finest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The reflection from this episode was a truly aligned and personal one, not just for myself but for us as a collective. Embracing our solitude whilst connecting to others is one that all of us are asked to recommit to throughout our life. As there are so many things we will fleetingly attach to or constantly resonate with, our self-assurance can become our anchor throughout it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An absolutely beautiful episode filled with important topics from what the Melbourne DJing scene needs, to the journey of friendships and being unique. These areas evolve with us, and an important reminder that we can evolve them too with conscious actions. As we allow ourselves to do so, we must remember not to judge ourselves or others. To get to know ourselves and others. So we can accompany ourselves and others through this conscious experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An episode filled with great insights and truths. From bringing our awareness back into our body so we can trust the signs within. To continuing to let our inner child to play creatively and play with others. Individuality shined brightly and for it to do so, we must find acceptance with it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So many powerful topics we delved into, yet all of them came from the unknown. A true reminder that with excitement and engagement and the willingness to try figure it out, the unknown can become known. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode we discussed the many emotions that can be felt on one’s city hippie journey, but one emotion in particular that can be overlooked as a companion is the one that is truly a friend to us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All of us know how important it is to remind ourselves that our power comes from being our authentic selves. To be aware, conscious and recommitted to our power is the gift from conformity. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
