026 Nope. I checked. I’m brilliant. So f*!k You! with Ilona Brannen

In this episode Ilona talks about being driven out of a school she was working in based on a 10 minute assessment that wasn’t even accurate. She had to defend and prove herself purely because a headteacher took a disliking to her and decided to make her life hell.

“ I've never had any problems with any job before. I think I learned a fair few things, right? I learned, I think a really wonderful one is that self belief, like, you can't touch me mentally. You can't, I believe in myself.

And that self-efficacy and being like, Not listening, and that's really important because other people's opinions of you. Are irrelevant. It's your opinion of yourself and you've really got to work hard at making sure you love yourself. You believe in yourself and, And you trust yourself no matter what.

Yeah. Doesn't mean you're perfect. I'm not. But it means that I can just sit comfortable in this, in the, in the fact that I know that I did my best. Yeah. And I don't have to take on board other people's feedback. Yeah. If I want to and I want to improve in certain ways, that's up to me, but I don't have to take.

Anyone else's opinion of me. And that's a fantastic gift to know I've got inside of me. ”

ABOUT THE GUEST - ILONA BRANNEN

Ilona knows that businesses now, more than ever before, are having to change and adapt to new ways of working in order to be able to compete both for

customers/clients, and develop their people and businesses at the same time.

025 I Reclaimed My Power with Michelle Grimes

In this episode Michelle talks about being reborn after having her confidence stripped, being humiliated and losing herself all at the cost of trying to fulfil her dream career. We discuss how even strong women can fall victim to the misogyny of the music industry and the moment she reclaimed her power!

“The misogynistic, the uncaring, revolting behaviour and words that were spoken to us for those two years, I, honest to God was broken. I was not myself. I couldn't sleep outside of panic attacks, literally spiralled into this depression.

I came home, like the most amazing thing I did was performed like 20,000 people in Trafalgar Square with the girls. And we had the best time, and we all said, like we had to call it. Everyone was like, it was getting to the point where it was ridiculous. I was such a positive, loving person all in my life, got to a stage where I couldn't even sleep, I couldn't talk, I couldn't laugh. I was just numb to the world. ”

ABOUT THE GUEST - MICHELLE GRIMES

Irish Pop singer and multi-instrumentalist Michelle Grimes arrived on the scene with a voice, panache and Pop / R’n’B sensibility that instantly set her apart from her musical peers. No stranger to the stage, Michelle has performed in Trafalgar Square to over 20,000 spectators as part of ‘Pride in London’, has sung for the King and Queen of Belgium as well as singing for The Taoiseach and the U.S Presidential party in June last year when they visited Ireland.

Hailing from Limerick, Grimes has emerged as one of the country’s most promising pop acts of recent memory. After the release of her first single ‘Going, Going, Gone’, Hotpress nominated Grimes alongside the likes of Dermot Kennedy and Denise Chaila for Irish artist of the year and one to watch. Michelle’s debut single wowed Irish radio and she went straight onto playlists across the country from Fm104, Live95, LMFM, Corks 96 and C103 as their Select Irish Artist of the Month as well as gracing the airwaves across BBC (Track of the week), 2FM, Spin and many more. Michelle smashed it at the overall International Radio Charts in Ireland landing on the Top 20 most played Artists on Irish radio alongside Ariana, Joel Corry, Dermot Kennedy, Dua Lipa and other stars. The track reached #3 in the breakers charts on Irish radio too.

024 Be Brave with Sarah Oakley and Lucy Burgess

In this episode Bravebirds Sarah Oakley and Lucy Burgess both talk about challenges they have faced and why in both cases they felt very much unheard. We discuss Sarah’s shock at having to become a carer for her husband and son and how she has dealt with it. We also talk about Lucy’ insanely hard decision to take her son and leave her daughter behind and how they are now both able to speak out and be brave!

“And my situation's not different to anyone else's situation. We all have times where we need to find that courage for one reason or another because you have to find your way out. But yeah, sometimes we don't see that. It's not in public, it's in private, right. So that's why I think this podcast is so good “cause people say, ‘well, that actually happened to me’.

And it’s ‘cause I think often the other thing about hard times is you feel ashamed. You feel embarrassed. Like for me, I felt embarrassed that I wasn't coping with it. Like, I've got a background in kind of psychological coaching wellbeing, working with top companies, helping them improve their performance, right but in my personal home situation, I felt like I was failing, you know?”

023 Your Difference Is Your Strength with Solène Anglaret

In this episode Solène talks about her challenges she has overcome as a victim of bullying which led her to literally changing who she was at 8yrs old to fit in. She talks about making sure she didn’t get good grades so she wouldn’t stand out and why fairness is now one of her top values. We discuss our hypersensitivity and heightened emotionality that we have in common and the importance of realising that being different is a strength!

“It was very, very hard to feel heard and feel accepted because you are different at school. And being reminded of that every single day. And then you are different at home as well, and being reminded of that there, every single day.

And so it's not until later when you realise that that difference is a strength. That difference is the foundation of your unique story. And stories and perspectives, and that by owning that, and by celebrating that, and by being proud of it, this is when you can connect with people that, you know, are on kind of the same similar journeys that kind of gel with you.”

ABOUT THE GUEST - SOLENE ANGLARET

Born and raised in France, Solène is a global citizen who has lived in 6 countries and travelled to more than 50. Inspired by this life on the road, she founded Be Beyond Borders, launched a talk show called The Inclusion Conversation, published four books, and hosted a poetry and art exhibition - all around the topics of identity, belonging, and home. Solène is a passionate and vocal diversity and inclusion advocate. Nothing fulfills her more than making human connections and helping others thrive.

022 It's Time To Speak Up with Dorothy Carvello

In this episode Dorothy talks about her book “Anything For A Hit” and the abuse she faced being the first female A&R executive as Atlantic Records. She tells me about her amazing Face The Music Now Foundation that she has set up to support women and artists that have suffered abuse in the industry and how she plans to take down the abusers that are still running this Music Industry!

“Yeah, the main purpose. And the reason why I wrote this book was because I have been unheard my whole life. And when you feel marginalised, strictly based on your gender and told that you know, you have a big mouth you don't like, you know, for just really sticking up for yourself and not wanting to take abuse.

That was the reason why I wrote the book and basically, being fired from every job in the music business for not engaging in illegal or inappropriate activity, for complaining about the way the men were treating me and other women and artists as well.”

ABOUT THE GUEST - DOROTHY CARVELLO

Dorothy Carvello began her career in 1987. She was the first female A&R executive at Atlantic Records, and one of the few in the room at RCA and Columbia. But before that, she was secretary to Ahmet Ertegun, Atlantic's infamous president, who signed acts like Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin, negotiated distribution deals with Mick Jagger, and added Neil Young to Crosby, Stills & Nash.

The stories she tells about the kingmakers of the music industry are outrageous, but it is her sinuous friendship with Ahmet that frames her narrative. He was notoriously abusive, sexually harassing Dorothy on a daily basis. Still, when he neared his end, sad and alone, Dorothy had no hatred toward him—only a strange kind of loyalty.

In her book Dorothy reveals how she flipped the script and showed Ertegun and every other man who tried to control her that a woman can be just as willing to do what it takes to get a hit. Featuring never-before-heard stories about artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Steven Tyler, Bon Jovi, INXS, Marc Anthony, Phil Collins, and many more, Dorothy’s book is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered what it's really like to be a woman in a male-dominated industry.

Mine was actually bigger than theirs, but they all run social enterprises and really intellectual question about social enterprise, really intellectual question about social enterprise, “Aw, we have Karis.

In this episode, Saskhia talks about the struggle of being literally unheard growing up with two deaf parents. Having to adjust when her mum left home and then being put into the care system. She tells me about her decision to sacrifice her true identity for her children’s safe upbringing and how she is now living as her true self and being an inspiration for other trans women in music!

“And I think, you know, the more people see things and the more people are educated and they see this representation that I talk about, then it changes perceptions of us as a community because we are stigmatised, we are laughed at, we are joked about, we are misunderstood and there's so many different variations now.

You have transvestites, you have transsexuals, you have all different types of non binary, and we're all different. Um, you know, I've actually had full surgery. I actually take hormones. I actually live like this full time. Like, my passport’s changed, everything about my life is completely different type was before. So I think sometimes people don't know these things, you know, it's not their fault. They just haven't been educated in it.”
