Want a memorable guest or host?
I’m good for audiences who are fun, different, curious, and want actual results.
Who else hates gatekeepers? And performative “professionalism”? Clare Garner of the Raw and Real podcast is so irreverent and all about killing off those sacred cows. More of this please!
We also cover reclaiming “selfish” as discernment, and why failure is the way to find the pivots that are best for you.
Permission to act like a lunatic, audacity, and pivoting when not ready
Comedy, Chaos, and the Art of Not Losing Your Sh*t (ie, a typical Tuesday).
It was so fun to chat with Abstract Soul Singer and tech queen Siquoyia Blu on the Blu Alchemist Podcast and wow, did we have a lot to chat about!
Mainly we chatted about the art of not losing your shit, grief and losses, and how on earth to defy the odds to get you even further than you wanted to go.
What a pleasure to chat with Jasmine Lisciotto on her Life Biz and All That Jazz podcast about why grief is such a mofo, living in survival mode, and connecting the dots.
We also dive into how to keep it together in times of chaos when your inner child is screaming for stability, and reverse-engineering failures.
Snotty-crying-type-of healing, ADHD, and connecting the dots.
Seeing Edward Scissorhands 14 times, the Liberty University Freaks, and losing your shit.
Yay, it was fun to chat with screenwriter Stuart Wright about 3 films that influenced adult life. Got to talk about good freaks, holding it together when every cell of your body is losing your shit, and the WORST thing your mom can say about Gone With the Wind.
Belonging vs. fitting in, meeting Olivia Colman, neurodivergence, and scary shit.
It was so much fun to go on the Mentally Oddcast podcast with Wednesday Lee Friday and wow, we covered so much messed-up and funny stuff. And I share my story of meeting Olivia Colman and the ridiculous thing I did while that happened.
How truth-panic is good, using humour, and why to do it your damn self.
Oh man, Kait Dinunzio is such a badass. Motivational speaker, body-builder, and author Kait invited me on The Unbreakable Podcast to talk about authenticity in writing, getting around the gatekeepers in publishing, why humour is important, and how to honour our successes.
It’s exciting to be part of their first book group, where they’ll be reading my book Good Stuff to Read When You’re About to Lose Your Shit.
You can see the ep on YouTube here, or listen on Apple, Rephonic, and Spotify.
Kindness, writing comedy, and of course the Beatles and letting it be.
The yassified-hair-in-the-promotional photo is everything.
It was so much fun to chat with Kevin McDonald and Brichelle Haller at Positive Talk Radio about comedy, kindness and why we shouldn’t be assholes to each other.
You can imagine once I found out he was a big Beatles fan, we talked a lot about my time in Liverpool working at The Cavern Club.

Networking, neuro-spiciness, motherhood, and the cult thing
There’s something amazing about Marketing Queen Robyn Flynn of Robyn Flynn Media. She’s engaging, fun, and so easy to talk to. I was so happy to be asked to hop on her new podcast, the Rebel Mom Boss.
Tommy and his brother Will are two gents who are absolutely gorgeous to work with. And what talent- they’re both BAFTA/Emmy nominees.
In this documentary, as a Story Consultant and on-screen contributor, I worked with Tommy helping him develop his idea for a feature length film. The film earned a Broadcast Award nomination, a TV Times Award nomination, and won the RTS Award for Best Single Documentary.
You can see the show on the BBC’s website here.
Tommy Jessop Goes to Hollywood
Cult churches, being neurodivergent, and really tough times
Hannah Perry of CoFellow Marketing is a total badass. Her new podcast Procrasturbation Station (focused on self-sabotage) was so fun to record.
Here's the links for Apple: Part 1 and Part 2
Why me being power-mad keeps Keanu safe
Irish writer Kevin Ryan’s hilarious anyway. But his podcast Tyrant in Training is an absolute banger. You get to be a tyrant and create your own world with your own rules. Free ice cream for all, re-education camps for HR people who ghost candidates, and of course, the protection of Keanu Reeves. Because we’re all about PRIORITIES.
You can hear it on Apple, Spotify, and Pocketcast.
5 Mindsets to kick down doors (if you’re an outsider)
Love Stuart Wright of Pinball Films. He’s an excellent writer and a lot of fun to speak with. His podcast Britflicks has a great format that always includes films, no matter what your area of expertise.
Getting into comedy and writing
Hammond Chamberlin is so kick-ass. So is his podcast, Beyond the Playlist. It’s really easy to talk to him about anything. In this interview, we covered unusual ways to get into the comedy industry.
If you’re a writer looking for brilliant insight and a tight-knit community, Lucy Hay’s Bang2write is an extraordinary resource. In a live chat, we covered the top uncomfortable writing truths.
You can watch it here.
