Karlosophies - Stories Behind Success

As I'm stepping into the discomfort of using my voice, my constant need for external validation is hitting hard.

Behind the mic for the first time in a long time, to give you a bit of an update on life, and where I see the world (and us) heading.

After 7-8 months on a waitlist (and almost 47 years), I sat down with my psychiatrist yesterday to FINALLY receive an ADHD diagnosis. You guys had some questions on instagram, so here I am digging it and breaking it down. Obviously, this is my experience only and is not health advice.

Liss Amyah... wow. I mean, talk about living a big life. Liss was married with a baby by 19, at 28 she left her fundamentalist church with 6 small humans in tow, she built an instagram following and business many would dream of, and then burnt it all to the ground. Today, we tell her story. Follow Liss on instagram @lissamyah Follow me on instagram @karlosophies

Today, Allison Davies joins me to laugh uncontrollably, take over the interview and start asking me questions, and to jam on our experience as Autistic people and music.  Connect with Allison on instagram @allisondavies_musicandthebrain Or with me @karlosophies

Today, I'm on my own and jamming on how this process of bringing Karlosophies back to life is honestly going for me. Here's that link to the improv singing people: @theimpr0vguy And come follow me on instagram: @karlosophies

I've known Dan Norris for probably around 15 years, and I've seen him go from relatively unknown web developer, to the man of the moment. I've watched his meteoric rise from the sidelines; cheering him on, whilst also being a little envious of his success. He was a man who had it all... best selling books, speaking all over the globe, and one of the fasting growing businesses in the country (a brewery he ran with a few mates; Black Hops). But that all changed when after a number of years of huge wins, his work life came crashing down around him... losing everything and throwing him back to a place where he has had to completely start over. I wanted to know how this experience has been for him, and how he's bouncing back (if at all). I was also curious to chat with him about this idea I've been thinking a lot about lately... which is, what happens when our best days are behind us?

Lisa Orkin is a dear friend of mine, who seems to have lived a bit of a parallel life to me. She's a voice over artist and podcast producer, but she's recently ventured back in to stand up comedy after walking away for well over a decade. Lately, she's had some success on instagram, going a bit viral, posting vids of her outfit of the day with a little funny story from her life. Listen to our previous episode together, from back on the 17th October 2017, here. Follow Lisa on instagram @lisaorkingram

In this continuation of my conversation with Lisa Corduff, we talk about our own personal experience with Autism and ADHD and the impacts on our lives, and busting out of your bubble.

After a big old period of inconsistency, I'm back behind the mic. And there was literally no one better to rip off this bandaid with than my old mate, Lisa Corduff. After all, she was my very first ever Karlosophies interview! What a monster few years we've both had. This catch up was so big we've ended up with two hour long interviews. The first one is the story of Nick passing away from alcohol addiction and where life has taken her since. To find out more about Lisa, head to her instagram @lisacorduff To come watch endless stories of my weird and wacky thought trains, follow me on instagram @karlosophies

It's been a while and I've really noticed the impact of not showing up here so I'm breaking down what's been going on for me lately.

Karly answers your questions, and reflects on her experience, of being recent diagnosis of Autism.

It's been a while, but Karly is back to share what has been happening in her sabbatical. Life has been relatively smooth sailing.. until...

The last few years have been rough, for Karly, but she's back... life finally threw her a fucking bone, in the form of an unexpected new job role, and she couldn't be happier. Hear the backstory as Karly unpacks the last 3 life changing months.

Today in Karlosophies, Karly is talking about depression. She is sharing the story about everything that has been happening in her life throughout this year and the way she's been dealing with it. She also shares her plans regarding the next year, such as publishing Karlosophies regularly again.

Today, Karly gets very honest and vulnerable about life and business. 

Today, Karly explores the wonderful world of voice... and how our relationship to our voice, creativity and self expression really matters. After all, it's the way we connect with and communicate to the world around us.  Karly is about to kick off a brand new program, VOICE - a 6 week exploration of YOUR voice. Find out more here. We kick off Nov 1st.

Karly is back in the studio post her fourth singing/songwriting class and she's here to share some insights on what she is learning about her process and others creative processes. She also shares how the last couple of years have made her feel like she's taken a few steps backward in her confidence when it comes to her voice.  

Today, Karly reports back from her drive home from a songwriting course... something she has very little to no experience in. Whilst everyone else in the course has a background in music, Karly can barely play two chords on a ukuele. Here's what she's learning about herself, creativity, and making music from throwing herself in the deep end. To see and hear more of Karly's insights, follow her on instagram

Today, Karly shares her big weekend solo at the Byron Writer's Festival and gallery hopping with an old friend. She shares a bit about her journey to enjoying her own company and explores creativity and personal expansion.
