One of my resolutions for the year was to engage in positive for fun and I'm managing to achieve that.
Today I'll be lauching the first episode of a podcast I created with a friend.
The podcast is called Voices & Visions and will focus on conversations with our community who engage in music or creative industries.
I work full time in the charity sector, and my co-host is a full time creative so we might have differing perspectives when interviewing guests.
We are based in London, so hopefully we can share information about local events and artists.
I am really excited about this journey, I do this because I find it interesting and fun and hopes it resonates with people.

EP1 of our podcast is live, a little introduction to what we will be creating
We have new interviews booked in our diaries so we should have another episode launching soon.
If you are an artist, or just nerd out about music and culture this podcast is for you.
If you do listen, please share your thoughts/feedback it'd be greatly appreciated.
(First time recording a podcast, so excuse all my pauses and mumbling but this is real life 😅😅)

my dad is an artist and musician and my mom is a poet so I grew up among creatives and was encouraged to dabble in and explore as many art forms as possible. But I have been creatively constipated for sooo many years and followed a career that has been very interesting and broadened my horizons but is also among the dullest work anybody could do. Starting this podcast with one of my best friends has been really fun and I can feel it reawakening my creative mind and motivating me to externalize more and follow through on creative impulses. It’s available on Spotify and Apple I’d be honored if anyone would give it a listen

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

I’ve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretation—preconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your image—selfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. I’ve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? It’s a question worth considering.
