100 episodes. Five years. Countless conversations about the power of music. During this personal and honest milestone episode, I reflect on my journey with Living on the B Side—the moments that moved me (to tears even!), the struggles I faced, and the lessons I have learned along the way.

I open up about the journey between passion and promotion, why turning this podcast into a business hasn’t felt right and hasn’t taken off so far, and the exhaustion of trying to fit into the traditional podcasting mould. After much reflection, I have made a big decision: this will be my last solo episode. From here on, I will focus on 1 on 1 conversation only, which I realised is me choosing joy over pressure, connection over numbers, and the freedom to create on my own terms.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the balance between following your passion and the expectations that come with it, this episode is for you. Let’s embrace the B-Side of life—where the real magic happens. 💙
