About this podcast
In this podcast I discuss all the difficult conversations I want to have with people from social justice, to relationships, to art to healthcare and anything and everything that's difficult.
I grew up with much of my work and life exploited for films and art dating back to over a decade ago - that has reached the heights of Cannes and the Oscars, including network TV. In this time there has been a lot difficult situations, involving human rights, trauma, gaslighting, relationships, opportunity, art, doublespeak and human value. It's time to start having these difficult conversations.
