2020-05-2825 minA Sound ApproachEpisode 4 - Future Proofing Yourself with Misha GhoseI recorded this on Misha’s living room floor a few months ago, and my favourite take away was how to catch yourself if you’re thinking of ‘giving up’ or considering throwing in the towel. She talks about validation, appreciation, and finding ways to push past the doubt and share your work with the world.. ‘even if it isn’t the next Michel Gondry’2020-05-1428 minA Sound ApproachEpisode 3 - Valuing Original Thought with Shreeda PatelThis was the very first interview I recorded for this podcast! Writer-producer-director with over a decade of experience in film-making - Shreeda Patel, speaks about the importance of sharing our work, even when our convictions are low. I especially loved what she said about the importance of savouring our painful experiences, metabolising them into creative expression, and accepting all the parts and colours of ourselves - even our darker shades.
2020-05-0721 minA Sound ApproachEpisode 2 - Making Room for Change with Sofia AshrafSofia Ashraf's story is an incredibly powerful and moving one. We recorded this episode together at my home studio a few months ago, and her insight and nuanced view on gender equality, and on valuing creative talent impacted me deeply. I hope her words inspire you to NOT sell yourself short, and acknowledge your professional value and worth, in the same way that they inspired me. You can find her work here: www.sofiaashraf.com

I recorded this conversation with Anushka Manchanda pre-pandemic, but I still feel like so much of her insight makes absolute sense for finding focus and cultivating balance right NOW.
This was the first time we had an opportunity to speak honestly and inhabit the same space, and I hope you're as inspired by her vulnerability and authenticity as I was.
