imhoodie podcast w/England

Three creatives sit down and talk honestly about building things without really knowing how — music, identity, belief systems, and careers that didn’t follow the “normal” blueprint. They unpack ADHD brains, unfinished songs, school systems that didn’t fit, faith shifts, and the tension between wanting to create and not wanting to perform. There’s humor. There’s self-awareness. There’s real talk about growing out of old narratives and into something more aligned. At its core, this episode isn’t about flexing wins — it’s about figuring it out in real time. Surviving weird chapters. Letting music live in your head before you record it. Learning that creative partnerships matter more than ego. It’s messy. It’s reflective. It’s three people becoming.

We talk money stress, health insurance, art, intuition, angel numbers, and what it actually means to “elevate” when life isn’t giving clear answers. Somewhere between tarot pulls, music memories, and real conversations about broken systems, this turns into a reminder that not everything meaningful is productive — and not everything productive is meaningful. No performance. No fake optimism. Just two people thinking out loud and letting the process breathe. If you’re building something, questioning everything, or learning how to trust yourself without burning out — this one’s for you. Inside My Hoodie 🖤 Are we elevating?

A long-form, free-flow conversation about creativity, unfinished songs, old bands, and the strange way art gets made (and sometimes never released). From Broken City Sky memories to gear talk, ADHD rabbit holes, studio chaos, and why the best songs are often the easiest ones—this is Inside My Hoodie at its most honest. No script. No polish. Just two musicians unpacking the process, the fear, the nostalgia, and the love of creating for the sake of it.

Inside My Hoodie and we’re back! Welcome, inside my hoodie.. Jeff and Michael kick it off with a goofy little “happy thought” game that turns into 777 vs 666, then pivots into a real conversation about reflection needing space, carving out 15 minutes of quiet, and the idea of carrying a talisman for tough moments. From there, Jeff talks new decks (including a Neville Goddard inspired oracle) and how manifestation can be less “mystic talk” and more discipline + state of the wish fulfilled. The episode weaves through constant headaches + staying positive, leadership and boundaries, humor that borders on reckless (in a lovable way), and detours into war stories, history, and the weird logic of human systems. They close with a quick three-card pull (8 of Swords → 4 of Pentacles → 7 of Pentacles), then tease a spicy mailbag for next time.

Buckle up for a conversation that goes everywhere and nowhere all at once. We’re sitting down with Professor Christopher Robinson to talk about everything from the psychology of childhood resilience and growing up in a children’s home to the literal trials of the Oregon Trail. ​We’re diving into "debauchery," why everyone seems to be "flicking each other off" as a love language, and the strange mystery of the "Snuggie-wearing" AT hiker. Whether we’re discussing the "buttery" tones of a voice, the deep history of Disney animations, or why the holidays can be a total mind-fuck, this episode is "human as f***." ​Grab a Fresca (mixed with vodka, obviously), and join us for some spiritual alchemy, accidental "cock-blocking" by 19th-century literature, and a look at why life is really just about dealing with the "bad shit" that happens to everyone. ​In this episode: ​The "Christopher Robin" origin story. ​Growing up in a children's home vs. an orphanage. ​The "Billion Seconds" book project and traveling historical trails. ​Surviving an "unpaid sabbatical" and gluing Walmart shoes back together. ​The etiquette of being a good (or terrible) guest. ​Why Mickey Mouse’s first words were "Hot Dogs."

This one feels like sitting on the tailgate after a long day… laughing, circling the hard stuff, accidentally saying something profound, then laughing again. We talk about growth without pretending it’s pretty. Leadership without pretending it’s clean. What it costs to keep showing up when you’re the one holding the line… and nobody’s handing out medals for it. There’s humor, frustration, self-awareness, and that quiet moment where you realize you’re not who you used to be—and you’re not done becoming whoever’s next. It’s less about answers and more about orientation. About checking your compass. About recognizing when you’ve outgrown old patterns, old roles, old versions of yourself… even when part of you misses them. This episode doesn’t preach. It walks beside you. It says, “Yeah… same. Let’s keep going anyway.”

What’s up, Libra? I did a little spread. I was like, 'How are they doing?' And I’m gonna tell you right now. ​So the central energy I pulled on you, Libra, is the Four of Wands, which I also like as 11:11, 'make a wish.' But the Four of Wands means there’s something to celebrate, something to hold on to, to keep anchoring you for the future. That said, it could be anything. It could be an emotional breakthrough, a promotion, anything that you think requires celebration. Even if you haven’t recognized it yet, do some self-evaluation and think, 'What breakthroughs have I had?' You know, 'Did I handle a certain situation differently than I normally would? Is there active growth?' You know, look at that kind of stuff. But that is the central energy of your feeling space. ​So let’s move—confirmation burp—to... we’ll continue in the central energy. So that was your feeling space. So in your head space, what are you thinking centrally? What are you thinking? It’s the Ace of Wands. So you have a spark. It could be an idea, a project... could be anything. We don’t know. But I’ll tell you that—sorry, my ADHD is going wild today, y'all just bear with me—the Ace of Wands is saying it’s a green light to start your project. Whatever you’ve been considering, it’s saying you’re in a manifesting state right now, which is clarified by your soul space in the central energy of the Queen of Wands. So the Ace of Wands, you know, new opportunities, potential growth is all there, and you’re being supported by your celebratory feelings as well as the Queen of Wands in your soul space. And we’re going to get into everything, but just know your central energy reads good. It reads good. ​Masculine side. This is where it gets a little hairy. Your feeling space in the central energy came at the Three of Swords. The Three of Swords could potentially represent heartbreak, sorrow, sadness. Something sad is in your life and it’s very central. It’s what you’re feeling. And I think that’s being led by the masculine side of your soul space is the Five of Swords. Because the Five of Swords is kind of saying there’s no good resolution. You know, it’s the resolution of all parties involved in the Five of Swords does not have everyone’s best interest in mind. I think YOU do, because in your head space is the Emperor. Daddy. So the Emperor is, you know, how you would tap into your authoritative masculine energy, because it is on the masculine side, so that’s confirmation right there. And it’s time for firm action. And I think you know that, and that could be potentially what’s triggering the Three of Swords and the Five of Swords. Something has come to a close and you’re fighting it, so stop fighting it. If you want, you know, if you don’t mind. ​So, a lot of royal energy in this spread. So now we’re going to move to the feminine side. The feminine side of your central feeling space energy is the Queen of Swords. Clarity, truth. And it’s the Queen of Swords is the honest, direct, logical kind of woman—truth, justice. But, you know, the swords representing truth is probably another reason the Queen of Swords probably triggered on the masculine side the Three of Swords. Because obviously, she’s the Queen of Swords, she holds the truth, she’s nurturing justice. So that’s resonating on your masculine side as well. But don’t forget that Emperor in your head space along with the Ace of Wands. But on the feminine side in your head space—thinking space, thoughts—Four of Cups. And that’s going to be your little bit of hesitation. The Emperor knows, the Ace of Wands knows, but that Four of Cups is basically a little hesitation on trusting the universe. That fourth cup coming out of the sky along with the three full cups—just remember the universe has your back whatever you’re deciding. ​On the soul space feminine side is the Eight of Pentacles, so you’re doing active work. You’re doing solid shadow work, solid soul work. Valuable. And you’re improving upon yourself each time. You know, the Eight of Pentacles: focus, dedication, mastering a craft. And I’ve seen the growth that you want and I’ve seen the direction you want to go and where you want to take it and how you want to inspire others. That work is being done. ​But whether it be central feminine or masculine, you have a royal guardian on each side. Your thinking space on the masculine side is the Emperor, you know, the Queen of Swords on your feminine side of your feeling space, and then the Queen of Wands in your soul space. You have royal everywhere you need. So if you’re feeling down, feeling low, uncertain, that is your permission right there to go back inside and sit with it. Let it pass. Do the shadow work. It’s worth it and you know it. And I’m going to clarify that real quick because I’m going to clarify the Three of Swords with exactly what would come out if you do the shadow work, and it is the Nine of Cups. Wish fulfillment. ​The only other card that I had a slight issue with—not that I have an issue with it being pulled, but it’s, you know, you want some good clarity on it—that’s going to be the Five of Swords. So we’re going to clarify that with the Nine of Pentacles. Love to see that. Yeah, green light. You’re doing so good, like you don’t even know how good you’re doing. I think you’re stuck in that Four of Cups head space. But this’ll wake you up, right? All right, this was fun. Talk to you soon.

In this deep-cut episode of Inside My Hoodie, England sits down with Kirsten for a raw, soulful conversation about alignment, self-doubt, and the quiet work of coming home to yourself. They move through stories of mountain climbs, military grit, tarot synchronicities, and laughter that heals the soul. From the barracks to the backcountry, from meditation to manifestation, this talk explores what it really means to hold the line when your spirit feels scattered. Pull up your hood. Sit by the fire. This is one of those episodes that finds you exactly when you need it.

My cousin Charlotte and I sit down and we talk about religion, personal faith and cool memories from our lives. She is judgment free as I pull out the tarot decks. I don't like making her uncomfortable so I wasn't tuned in as much I would like to have been... is what is what it is.. enjoy.. the video will be up whenever TF I upload it.

🎙️ It’s been over 2 months since I had a guest on the podcast. But tonight… tonight we finally cracked the mic again. Ryan, Jowett, and I sat down and did what we love.... talked about music, faith, the culture around us, and that universal challenge of chasing your dreams even when doubt is whispering in your ear. Here’s what always hits me in these conversations: feeling like you’re not good enough is normal. Every artist, every dreamer, every leader feels it. But the difference between those who stay stuck and those who soar? Showing up anyway. That first step onto the stage. That first video uploaded when your voice shakes. That first day in a new role when you wonder if you’re qualified. I’ve been living all of that these past months. From live-performance stories to leadership lessons, it all circles back to the same truth...you don’t have to be perfect to start, you just have to be present. 🔥 Tonight reminded me why I started this in the first place. To share real stories. To connect. To light up the path a little bit for anyone stumbling in the dark, wondering if their dream is worth it. (It is.) So here’s to showing up, to speaking our truths, to creating together. The journey doesn’t slow down… but the mic is back on. #PodcastLife #InsideMyHoodie #LivePerformanceStories #FirstStepEnergy #FollowYourDreams #ImposterSyndrome #CreativeJourney #Leadership #ManifestingHappiness #StayInspired #JustShowUp

I tell a truckin story and get sidetracked... its what I do bro.

Janson and Jowett and I live a life of ADHD. This is what its like to hang with us. Warning!! There's a moment in here when we all talk over each other.. and I uh... maybe... amplify the discomfort.

Just Jinx by himself. Talking about trucking, getting down with the grit, and hey, try to be happy folks. The life of your dreams is waiting for you to feel it home. (That makes sense to me I promise lol) I post this with confidence. I am still feeling fear, self-doubt and other low vibes. Vines born of Ego, based in lack, trying to sabotage me. This unwelcome perspective is only a side lined NPC. I only want success and peace for everyone.

A lot went down to get this 30 minutes recorded bro.. eavesdrop on a few ADHD backwoods siblings.

HOT TAKES FROM THE HEADLINES. from Friday.... I talk a little smack... unscripted, unedited, me. * Disclaimer: A lot of my opinions are satire, and none of my Shack rambles should be taken seriously, even though I am serious on some of it.*

This episode, we kick it with Jeff Graham—former Cradle of Forestry worker, hurricane-displaced, music-loving soul with a heart full of chill and truth. I realize now, after 11 shows, I definitely have trauma residue, which appears in many forms, stuttering, losing train of thought, self doubt, spirit doubt. I've had faith we're co- creators of our life forever. I just didn't trust it. We dive into community, chaos, and the calm after the storm. Then Matt slides in, and—shocker—we end up trash-talking religion. Not spirituality, not love—just that toxic weaponized eternity nonsense.

So, I originally didnt have anyone scheduled this week. I was going to do a solo episode and give a history lesson of my time in the Atlanta music scene. I recorded for like 10 minutes but I was NOT in alignment with it for some reason and I decided to not do an episode today at all... but that felt weird too.... Luckily, Jowett ass Matt was hanging around and we just hit the red button and off we went. We deconstructed religion a little more, told some music scene stories, and... you know me... I already forgot. Its been spoken. We dont need an article about it.

*topics include suicide* Brumfield ass Danielle and I talk spiritual stuff... life stuff.... trauma stuff... just overall a desire to be better people tomorrow than we are today. Listener discretion advised. Light the blunt

420 just happened to be the time as Kid Giddens (Jared) and I were on the porch.. I discreetly hit record and the first smoke sesh was born

Lil after dinner chat with Brandon 'the felon' Llewellyn, Giddens ass Jared jowett ass Matt... we just BS.. I already forgot what we talked about. But just to spite the gate keepers I'm not gonna edit it.

Janson ass Sarah and I talk about religion, following your dreams regardless of the hate that will inevitably present itself before you. You are the leader of your life.

Just me myself and I.. why I started the inside my hoodie universe, and I answer some questions about various topics.

Llewellyn ass Brandon and I talk about the pros and cons of live on site jobs and other stuff. Jowett ass Matt stops in and I play our song Demon at Knuckles

I'm just layin around and thought I'd say hello. I don't think I actually say hello though. I do say byeeeee.

Jowett ass Matt and I sit down and let the conversation flow. We talk music, ambition, bad days, old days and whatever else.. I can't remember but here it is.

There was not much planning for this one. We just kinda winged it. So yes, this episode may sound sloppy. Who cares? It was awesome chatting with Wood ass.

inside my hoodie episode 1! England is joined by Jowett ass Matt.. they talk about their beginnings in the Atlanta music scene over a decade ago. Jowett reads some poet ass lyrics he wrote. England premieres truck stop shower. Its a sloppy start with more questions than answers. But at 15 minutes a pop, you get what you get. The episode ends before the song is finished.
