The Last Ever Sunday Vibes Show! S2 EP20
Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
The time has come. This is it! The final ever Sunday Vibes Show on Spotify! And it's a bumper feature length final episode let me tell ya!
And what an adventure it has been. From the very first show on 27th August 2022 until now, 31st March 2024. If you have listened to The Sunday Vibes Show from the very start, I sincerely thank you. I'm not sure I'm able to find adequate enough words which truly express how much it has meant knowing you're out there listening. And not just in the UK! To know that the show I have worked so hard on, has been enjoyed by you, the listener.
My aim was to hopefully come across as though I was speaking directly to you. Help you escape, if only for a while and take you away on a musical meandre and adventure!
It has been an absolute pleasure to bring you the show, even when the listener numbers were tiny, even if just one person listened, it was worth it.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and the Sunday Vibes Show with your song requests, creative contributions and of course, getting involved on the shows Christmas specials!
Thank you so so much for listening. Stay safe, stay well, and of course. Keep creating...

The Conversations Series with Laura Francis. Part Two.
The Conversation continues in this, the final episode, and part two with the extraordinarily delightful Laura Francis.
I have to say, it was an absolute joy to spend time in Laura's company for the recording. Laura is so honest, so open, and so humbling she was able to trust me with her vulnerability of past experiences meaning I'm very confident, anyone listening to our conversation will not only be struck by what Laura has endured, but will be helped and uplifted by her. Inspired by her strength and courage.
In this episode we spoke about:
Her early years. How Laura dealt with being an only child, to then having twin siblings.
The perception of those around her, and trying to fit in at a very early age.
The difficult teen years and the lack of communication between herself and her parents.
How physical illness is so much easier to speak about than mental illness.
Why is no one listening to or helping me?
Anger is pain, fear, or both?
How uncomfortable it was to say things as a child.
Turning negative thoughts to positive thoughts and of course...
So much more!!

The Conversations Series with Laura Francis. Part One.
Joining me for this, the first of two episodes recorded in April 2023 as part of 'The Conversations Series' is Laura Francis. Laura is a Poet, and is from Brighton on the South Coast of the UK. Laura is a beautiful soul, instantly likeable with a smile which could light up the darkest of rooms.
Bubbly and vivacious in these interviews, whilst talking about her incredibly personal and painful experiences.
In this raw and honest conversation, Laura opens up about Anorexia, the all encompassing eating disorder and mental health condition she has been living with since she was a young girl. She talks about how she feels it contributed to her missing out on learning how to be an
adult due to her hospital admissions at a young age. How effective, people with mental illness become at being a chameleon.
And of course, so much more..
I even educate Laura on the simple beauty of the Blackbird song!

The Conversations Series with Paul Kohn Part Two.
In this, the second episode, and final part of my chat with the unequivocally erudite talent that is Paul Kohn, we truly had a wonderful conversation. You can't help, other than to be captivated by the way in which he speaks. With such eloquence and emotional intelligence.
If you have, in particular, a man in your life who needs to know it's OK to be vulnerable, this is the episode they need to hear.
We talk about mental health as a man, being vulnerable as a man, being real, and mental health in general including the mental health system.
We discuss more about Paul's exquisite debut poetry collection 'Soul Refraction'
and of course more.
Also in this episode, we're honoured and fortunate to have Paul perform a piece of his own work 'Walk The Talk'. When he did, I felt like a V.I.P my front row seat!
You can purchase Soul Refraction from all reputable online outlets.
You can find out more about Paul on his website
paulrkohn.wordpress.com/about/
And find Paul on Instagram at @paulrkohn

The Sunday Vibes Show S2 EP11! 80's Special
Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
Some say it was the decade taste forgot! The decade where taste was on an extended vacation and left only the blind to fashion in charge! To a degree I can see their point! But it wasn't all bad. Sure, some of the clothes left a lot to be desired, but you could say the same about any decade. It wasn't all huge shoulder pads and over the top blusher! No! There were some sharp fashions too! Honest! Do you want to know the aspect of the decade which stood out most for me? The music of course! Come on, jump on your Chopper, your Grifter, your Budgie, or your Space Hopper, and come with me on a journey of musical memories! Let's set the date on the DeLorean to 1980 and see where it takes us from there! Buckle up, hold tight! Here comes the 80's special!

Social Media effects on Mental health
The reality of the images we see
Thinking beyond what the eyes can see
Are the images as fabulous as they look?
Do people really want to see what's really going on anyway?
Do we need to make social media a more comfortable space for people to be more honest about their mental health?
The escape of social media to escape your reality
Do we get trapped by others expectations?
What are you willing to sacrifice for the image on social media?
It's always the glamourous side that is shown, never the dark side of social media
The dangers of social media to the younger generation
Nobody has the perfect life Is mental health becoming too beige and boring to talk about?
Is mental health too boring for people to hear about?
Believing in the message, or is it just because it's trending?
The changing emotions of our mental state throughout the day can effect our mental health...it doesn't have to been a catastrophic episode.
The mental state can be masked by what someone is doing Keeping positive but real people around you
How are you? How do you reply?

S2 - Episode Six Pt 2 Who Are You Not To Be? Cont..
Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
Welcome to Part 2 of my lovely waffle with Louise Hale, AKA Curly Wordy, the wonderful spoken word artist and poet from East London UK. In this episode we discuss how Louise got into performing spoken word for the first time and how she started getting into Instagram Lives for the very first time.
Louise tells me about the story behind her poem on Domestic Violence and the catalyst for writing it. We also talk about not comparing yourself to other spoken word artists or poets, and trying not to get into the mindset of the negative in nervousness. Louise discusses embracing the nervousness including learning how to be vulnerable with yourself.
We talk holding your scared self, and being tender with yourself, listening to your own feelings, not avoiding the uncomfortable and how valuable giving your time is. And of course..so much more. And the song Louise chose, it's an 80's banger!!
You can find Louise on most social social media platforms by simply searching for Curly Wordy.

S2 - Episode Six Pt 1 Who Are You Not To Be?
Join me Pod Wafflers on Episode Six, Part 1 where I speak to the awesomely talented Poet and Spoken Word Artist Louise Hale, AKA Curly Wordy. Born and raised in Bow, East London, Louise is also a Play Therapist, Journalist and Teacher. She is currently working on a psycho-education storybook for bereaved children and she also plans to publish a poetry pamphlet. Rightly so, she is very proud of her east end roots and what it bestowed on her, however, she has also travelled the world helping fuel her inspiration and creativity.
At 14, Louise had her first poem published in 'The Star-Laden Sky'- an anthology by The International Library of Poetry, after she saw an ad in a fanzine. She started in journalism from the tender age of 17, after volunteering on her local rag East End Life, spending over a decade in the media.
Louise in the past has volunteered and worked for The Sun and The News of the World, and her journalistic talent didn't stop there. She has worked for East End Life, The Camden Gazette, The Richmond and Twickenham Times and several freelance gigs with nationals including The Guardian, The Times and The Evening Standard.
She finally found the courage to enter spoken word in 2020 during the first Covid Lockdown and has never looked back. She has penned several poems and started performing them on Instagram lives. Curly Wordy has performed on live Zooms and at open mic events for Trouble Tongues, JustMoetry, BYOB Poetry and Hammer and Tongue. Such is this creative whirlwind of talent, that Louise was was recently selected as one of ten winners on The WordSpokenPodcast and featured on People’s Poetry Podcast.
In this Episode we waffle about her wonderful project Hurricane Brain, the book she has written for bereaved children. You can find the Kick Starter Campaign link below if you would like to donate to this beautiful and such worthwhile project.
We talk exploring emotions, where does our emotional make up come from? The collective unconscious. We cover how Louise sees herself as 'No Kind of Woman' she tells me, she 'Is who she is' I couldn't agree more! We waffle about people believing in you, and putting people on pedestals! Are you any good at receiving compliments? No, me neither! We talk about that too! Which leads nicely onto trying not to think negatively about yourself, and we discuss how being kind to yourself is a difficult mindset to adopt. We chew the fat on looking at our own stories, how precious the gift of time is, and how it is important to sometimes look back, but recognise, with time comes growth. It's about 'Owning your Roots' people!!
I even find out how important the boy band Take that were to Louise and the magazine Smash Hits!
It was an absolute joy and pleasure waffling away with Louise on Part 1 of Episode Six, a conversation which left me uplifted! I sincerely hope you enjoy listening as much as I did speaking with such a vibrant and strong woman. Louise, AKA Curly Wordy! You can find out more about her on her website www.curlywordy.com/

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
A Man, A Mic, Me! Welcome to Part 1 of episode 5. Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK is 9th May to 15th May 2022. So I thought I would tell a little of my mental health story, how it is for me living with depression, anxiety and Complex PTSD. Telling it warts and all from my perspective. How it is for a 49 year old man. How I hope by me telling you some of my story, and sharing some of my experiences by sitting in front of a mic, and through my own spoken word poetry, goes some way to letting anyone struggling with mental illness know, they are not alone. Despite I'm sure believing on a regular basis they are. For mental health information and guidance in the UK www.nhs.uk/mental-health/

S2 - Episode Four - In The Nook Part 3
Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.
Join me Pod Wafflers for the final instalment of my chat with the insightful and charming Drew Horner, AKA @talesofthenook. In this episode we discuss the crazy labyrinth of life, being your own best friend and how we speak to ourselves. We talk about the suitcase of emotions and setting boundaries. We chat about how people can take advantage of kindness, and are we easily led? A lone wolf, or a sheep who likes to follow others? Following a crowd, do we have an option to say no?
We discuss social media, and do role models suffocate who we are? Playing a role in a relationship, being a people pleaser and the how likes on social media are not a currency defining the value or worth of your work are also discussed, including the possible effects on mental health and much more besides. Essentially we put the world to rights!
We have a good old waffle where we hope you will find something to resonate with.

S2 - Episode Four - In The Nook Part 2
Join me again Pod Wafflers for Part Two of In The Nook with the impossible not to like soul, that is Drew Horner..AKA @talesofthenook In this jam packed episode, we talk about Drew's up and coming spoken word album 'Strong Enough To Break' due for release at the end of March 2022 beginning of April 22. Drew and one of his collaborators on the album, musician and composer Tomàs Almeida, very kindly allowed me to include a snippet of a track 'When The Demons Come Knocking' which is an awesome soundscape, building beautifully to a cinematic crescendo. On the edge of your seat stuff let me tell you! The beautiful artwork for the album was created by the extremely talented Michael Felton. You can find Michael on Instagram under the handle of @squarespecs and Tomas under the handle of @eleventalesmusic Drew tells me how he found himself doing more and more spoken word, and how he discovered he could take people on a journey using his voice. TRIGGER WARNING - Drew and I cover the subject of mental health in this episode, and we discuss how powerful words can be, both for the good and for the hideous and the bad. This covers briefly, Suicide, Rape, Sexual Assault, Depression, Men's Mental Health, Anxiety, Addiction and Domestic Violence. Although we do not go in depth or graphical detail, I appreciate the mention of these incredibly serious and traumatic subject matter may be distressing for some listeners. We talk about how powerful words can really be. Also how Drew's own experiences with mental health difficulties helped him write the pieces for the album. We discuss how our own minds can be their own battlegrounds. We even talk about homelessness and how invisible homeless people appear to society as a whole. I hope you enjoy part two with myself and Drew Dom G

S2 - Episode Four - In The Nook
Join me for Part 1 of a series of episodes with the delightful talent that is, Drew Horner. AKA @talesofthenook on Instagram. Drew is an Actor, Spoken Word Artist, Voice Over Artist and Poet. Sit back, relax, grab your favourite tipple, or favourite squeeze to cuddle up with whilst Drew and I have a good waffle about what makes Drew, well Drew.
Discover with us as we discuss the power and magic of poetry, and how wonderful it is to see so many varying genres and styles within the poetry community. The pick 'n' mix of poetry if you will. Penny sweets are not 5p! Drew is adamant on this! We marvel at the beauty of collaborations of poets within the community on Instagram.
And..of course, I find out and ask the really important question. Who is Drew?!
Well, it would appear, a star was born at the age of around 4 or 5 when Drew first trod the boards, where it would seem, the acting bug bit him. Drew tells me a little about the Drama school he attended, graced by the likes of Colin Firth and Tom Hardy. Oh, yes, I don't just have any old riff raff on the podcast you know!
Drew tells me how writing has helped him mentally, how writing brought him calm and balance amongst the chaos of COVID, and how poetry has helped with self discovery.
I also discover how the name for his account Tales of the Nook came to be, and believe it or not, how the name previously chosen was flagged as a terrorist organisation!!
Plus, Drew also tells me about the challenges of Dyslexia, men and poetry, and how important it is for men to embrace the creativity.
In this first jam packed episode of my series of waffles with Drew, I sincerely hope you discover something to inspire you.

Well, it would appear, a star was born at the age of around 4 or 5 when Drew first trod the boards, where it would seem, the acting bug bit him. Drew tells me a little about the Drama school he attended, graced by the likes of Colin Firth and Tom Hardy. Oh, yes, I don't just have any old riff raff on the podcast you know!
Drew tells me how writing has helped him mentally, how writing brought him calm and balance amongst the chaos of COVID, and how poetry has helped with self discovery.
I also discover how the name for his account Tales of the Nook came to be, and believe it or not, how the name previously chosen was flagged as a terrorist organisation!!
Plus, Drew also tells me about the challenges of Dyslexia, men and poetry, and how important it is for men to embrace the creativity.
In this first jam packed episode of my series of waffles with Drew, I sincerely hope you discover something to inspire you.

S2 - Episode One Pt 1 - OCD It's Like This
Join me Pod wafflers as I speak to @sassycatladyblog AKA Amy Jackson on the first episode of 2022. This is part 1 of a 2 part episode with Amy. Amy is the author behind the wonderfully entertaining and eclectic blog sassycatlady.com I urge you to go check it out. I am sure you will find something to amuse you and make you laugh, make you think but also gain a better understanding of what it's like to live with OCD...
Which brings me very nicely onto my chat with the lovely Amy, who was an absolute delight to speak with. She was incredibly honest and open about her OCD, and how it impacts her daily life. She was very candid about her particular diagnosis and type of OCD.
My conversation with Amy certainly helped give me a better insight and understanding into this very challenging and at times, debilitating condition. I hope you learn something too.
I also find out more about Amy as a blogger and a person. I do hope you enjoy the episode.
