10. What does community actually mean, rave stigma and balance w/ PJ Addinall

In this episode, Jess aka Galactic Rainbow aka me,  provides insight into some of the reasons why you may not be seeing progress and changes that stick regarding your habits, thoughts, actions and behaviours. 

Before I get into the reasons why, I share some anecdotes about the progress I’ve seen in my own life.  I reflect on the beautiful moments and lessons from a solo camping trip and how I got through a Christmas without being triggered for the first time ever!! 

I use these examples to show how the rewards of your progress can come in all shapes and sized from doing the work. 

If you are on your self-improvement journey or have any goals or habits you are trying to change this is the episode for you!!

In this episode, Jess aka Galactic Rainbow speaks with Caity Watsøn who is popping off in the local Melbourne Techno scene and has been on a powerful journey of self-growth, finding acceptance during challenging times and has completely changed her relationship with raving.

Caity has been completely alcohol and coffee free for over 3 years and is also sober. This hasn't always been the case and as she shares in the episode, a serious health diagnosis spurred on big changes in her life and consequently her relationship with herself.

This episode is jammed packed with wisdom for managing cravings, putting in boundaries, saying no, finding acceptance even when things are really tough, prioritising yourself, people pleasing, and of course DJing and TECHNO!

Caity was just voted into the top 5 for Victoria’s ‘Best DJ’ and is known for her sets fusing deep, hypnotic, heavy and hard sounds. Playing at iconic Melbourne venues such as Revolver Upstairs, My Aeon, Rubix Warehouse, KISS FM, Area3000 & Melbourne Pavilion, as well as guest mixes for Music Victoria, Anomalie Collective, Proponent Records and more. I have no doubt her DJ career is just gonna keep on blossoming!!

Be sure to check out her techno collective '150 BPM', which focuses on raw, hypnotic and hard techno genres. ‘150 BPM’ is a mindset – aiming to push artists to play what they thought they could never get away with.

In this episode, Jess aka Galactic Rainbow aka me, speaks with Melbourne/Naarm based DJ, Front Woman and Lead Singer, Amber Ferraro, who has dedicated the last 10 years to the Music Scene, whether that be in her Disco/House Band “Honey”, the Gospel/Techno group “Sunshine and the Disco Faith Choir” or in her DJ Residency at Onesixone nightclub.

Throughout the episode we hear how Amber has gone from a 2 year old singing over the baby monitor, to studying Jazz Improvisation to DJing, and how she now combines it all in her life as a Full Time Musician.

We go into depth on her project Silhouette – an electronic music event that celebrates and showcases the art of Kink, discussing  why there is a need for parties like this, why it is important to break  stigmas around sexuality and sex work, and how exploring kink can have ripple effects into other areas of your life. 

We chat about the impact of having mentors in life and how to find one, the role that gender plays in the scene, and whether her classical training has been helpful or a hindrance in her DJing.

Amber also shares a power piece of wisdom on how to deal with the inner critic!
