Singer-songwriter and Sound bath healer Lisa Murdoch, uses her pain as her big message through her breathtakingly impactful songs.

Lisa left her place at a highly sought-after music degree at Manchester university after feeling unaligned and generally out of saughts, then covid hit and before long her anxiety got worse, to the point she would no longer leave her house.

Going through this painfully dark season would break most, but Lisa kept searching, learning, partying and surrounding she started to take night-time walks in the woods, and this is where her music came to her once again.

Only this time so much had changed. Lisa has stepped into an unapologetic badass of the woods who loves to turn heads with her art. Lisa’s energy I found like Kate Bush and Bork – sweet pure but make no mistake completely ahead of us all.

I can’t wait to see Lisa take over the charts with her gifts!

Lisa's Takeaways

1.    Follow zero people on your Instagram - you get to decide you you’re exposed too

2.    Surround yourself with different perspectives.

3.    Spiritual awakenings aren’t easy

4.    Call your ‘breakdown a transformation but that’s what it truly is

5.    Getting quiet and going within is quite normal as there is a lot to process

6.    Any shift like a breakdown, or anxiety to not leave the house can make us go into blame but that’s the ego brain keeping us small, we have to be selfish at that point as it takes up all of the head space and we might not have articulated it.

7.    Look at your ancestral roots it might be the connection and feeling of belonging you need for the permission of what you’re naturally drawn to

8.    Even though we are proud of our roots and authenticity, growing up but growing up we need to see people who reflect us. As it’s in our survival makeup

9.    Get to the woods Trees have so much for the senses not just visual either

10. A message from the heart goes straight through the heart

11.  Words have power – we fear the word witch why aren’t they afraid of the men who drowned the witches?

We are super excited this week to talk about all things Surface Pattern with Australia's finest watercolour artist, surface pattern course creator and creative mentor. 

And if that's not enough Cass talks about the importance of getting quiet and allowing your unique creative style to come through you. This process she believes is a highly spiritual, creative flow state is only entered when we allow for the space.

This of course doesn't just happen, there is lots of mess in between the day job before the pivot. We talk about the huge gap between being a student again and allowing yourself to learn and building the runway before you jump ship.

You're going to love this talk (hashtag just saying)

Cass Takeaways:

1.     Look at what you absolutely love first, what makes you not look at your phone, what can you talk about all day?  Follow that passion– the business will come after.

2. You don’t have to jump ship, build your runway first.

3.  The pivot is a huge change for you and your family, remember this when you’re feeling all of the fear, it’s all possible, but you have to respect it takes time.

4.  Don’t put all of the ownership to pay your bills with this new creative venture. Try to have an income stream that’s low maintenance on your head space,  to leave room for ‘the playfulness and curiosity energy of your new venture.

5.   Look at evergreens you could launch for your business that’s not a direct equal swap for your time and money.

6.   Your work holds energy, and we can feel that even online. Play and design before you read your emails.

7.   We are consuming so much information, be mindful about what distractions you have without noticing i.e. scrolling, the news.

8.  Practice being by yourself we need to get quiet to listen

9.  Following the breadcrumbs takes trust, listen to your inner knowing nobody knows 100% if it’s going to work, but if you know and start your day armed with your ‘Why’ you will naturally seek the right opportunities. 

10.  Get clear on what it is you want to change, meditate, journal, and shout it out into your mirror, you get to decide and change through manifesting, but being intentional takes daily reminders to yourself. Your inner knowing is spiritual which is creativity too but you need to get quiet to hear her and your intuition.

11.  Your mindset controls EVERYTHING. You’re the director of your whole life.

12.  Being ‘too sensitive’ is a superpower for your creativity. You will only birth your signature style if you’re listening to what wants to come through you.

Birthing Skills by Juju Sundin   

Joe Russo is a successful entrepreneur who has a great ability to make things happen and find ways around problems. He is passionate about making a difference and it is of the utmost importance that Joe leaves his mark with whoever he works with and whatever area he works in. Due to Joe's cultural background and the barriers, he faced as a youngster due to having severe dyslexia, he has perfected the art of creating human connections that bring about change and success.

'I'm especially passionate about bringing out the best from a lost cause. Many people in society are marginalised because of their background or, like me, are dyslexic. However, there is always hope and with the right help, support and creative thinking, change happens.'

Joe offers support to businesses in areas such as creating connections, dyslexia awareness and developing a successful culture.

He is currently working all over the country, working with huge initiatives such as Oasis UK and Lewis Hamilton’s Mission 44.

Joe’s Takeaways

1. It’s the systems that try to pack us into groups – we are all different and so should we be.

2. What would the world look like, if every child was treated with kindness and compassion?

3. Trauma passes down 5 generations If left alone unworked.

4. If we all took the time to read about Trauma and act through this lens, would this be enough to shift mindsets?

5. Children are individual humans, they don’t need to be caught up in old systems that aren’t serving our communities.

6. We all need human connection.

7. Remember, junk food industries spend lots of money on studies to make sure no human connection means unhealthier unsociable choices.

8. Exclusion Is abusive

9. What’s your mission? Go back and check to see if your purpose and values are still aligned with your daily actions.
