Nonsense in the Chaos

During this week’s podcast, I reflect on the adventure that unfolds when I let the universe lead and trust the unknown. I explore the lessons of Mercury Retrograde , tune into Kairos time, and speak on the importance of keeping my nervous system regulated by trusting the process — especially as I head into a season where everything seems to be happening at once. How do I disrupt the old narratives...

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos , I finally sat down with someone who's become a bit of a mystery and a marvel to me over the past few years: Ray Howard. When I first heard of Ray, he was introduced with a wink and a grin as “the island’s hobo.” That label never sat quite right with me – and after our conversation, I know why. Behind the weather-beaten clothes and wandering spirit is a raz...

I’m feeling rebellious, disruptive, and fed up with the status quo. It’s time for a change—and it has to rise from the soil, the stories, and the people at the roots. No more waiting. No more hoping someone else has it handled. They don’t. We have to do this. It’s on us now. In this week’s episode of Nonsense in the Chaos , I’m cracking open the real questions: What are we going to do about this m...

I was absolutely thrilled to interview Roz Rolls this week, fresh off the boat from New Zealand and back on Sark for a visit. Roz is genuinely one of the coolest, most inspiring people I’ve ever met. We first connected around the fire at the Nook—our little sacred spot on the island where we gather under the stars and watch the sunset. Meeting her felt like being welcomed into a circle of wise eld...

It's been a year since the Nonsense in the Podcast began and it is a pleasure to be bringing you this week's episode from Glastonbury Festival 2025! It was a bit of a tough one though, even amidst having an amazing time, surrounded by people I love and adore. Who never fail to make me laugh.  But there’s so much conflict and pressure in the world right now. We’re all tired and life'...

I said at the start of the year that I’d be doing a dry year and listener Gemma Rogers wrote in to ask me how that was going and if I could do a podcast about my experience of having a dry year. Spoiler alert… I didn’t manage it. Listen in as I share my journey with sobriety, and intoxication, working with all the elements of the ride as teachers.  I’m also aware of the irony that this episode is...

This is the first time I’ve interviewed someone who lives here on the Island of Sark. Jimmy Martin is an absolute star and it’s a delight to be able to share this beautiful soul with you. We talk about what life is like living here in a tiny community and all the different hats we have to wear. But we juggle all the things so that we can give something back to the island. We have each other’s back...

In the forty-second episode of Nonsense in the Chaos, we delve into the sacred significance of the number 42. As revealed in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42 — but the real puzzle lies in not knowing the question. This episode becomes a ‘Quest-I-On’ of its own, leading us to the word abundance.  Through this lens, we expl...

I first met Naomi through working at Glastonbury Festival putting together the performative elements and installations for Shangri-la, the late night part of the festival, or the naughty corner, as we like to call it. We had worked together for a couple of days before we clocked that we were both fools and it all suddenly made so much sense. I’ve been interested to learn more about Naomi’s story a...

Recorded on the Gemini Dark Moon, in the throes of Gemini Season, this is an investigation into the dynamics of the inner and outer versions of ourselves. Exploring the archetypal realm, in lieu of it being the ‘Witchfool Are You?’ Course. This is the time of year, when I support participants to explore which archetypes rule them. This episode untwists the sphincter that separates our juicy infini...

TRIGGER WARNINGS: This week's episode is a recording of Sisterhood the play, which deals with themes of sexual abuse, infertility, suicide, and menopause.  I'm sharing this in memory of Sophia, who created the live soundscape for this production and toured with me around East Anglia on a healing tour to all the places where Matthew Hopkins tortured and executed witches. Like Handmaid&apo...

In this deeply personal episode, recorded in the wake of the Beltane fire, I share reflections on the recent passing of one of my dearest friends - Sophia - a soul woven into the fabric of my life. A Meadow of Delight is a gentle wander through memory, magic, and mourning, honouring the ripples she leaves behind and the light she still casts in my world. Grief is often feared, tucked away or silen...

This week’s episode of Nonsense in the Chaos is the follow-up episode in a two-part offering, born from a rich, two-hour conversation with my dear friend and fellow fool, Howard Gayton. In this half we pull the cards and discuss the topics that the universe leads us to.  Howard and I connected properly during a 500-mile pilgrimage from London (or, as Howard rightly points out, Henley) to COP26 in...

This week I'm exploring what’s going on with the planets, as we thankfully draw to a close the last huge unprecedented shift of ‘once in a lifetime’ planetary signatures. There will be more to follow, but April was probably the craziest astrological month we'll ever know. Well done for surviving it.  And I explore the power of necessity. A theme I've been mulling over a lot recently...

This week’s episode of Nonsense in the Chaos is the first of a two-part offering, born from a rich, two-hour conversation with my dear friend and fellow fool, Howard Gayton. We properly connected during a 500-mile pilgrimage from London (or, as Howard rightly points out, Henley) to COP26 in Glasgow—though in truth, we stopped walking in Edinburgh. Howard Gayton has worked for over thirty years as...

In this week’s episode of Nonsense in the Chaos , I explore the idea that we each hold the power to shape our own reality. Using the metaphor of a single pixel in a vast image, I delve into how tending to your own light—your energy, your choices, your presence—can influence not only your personal world but the collective picture we’re all creating together. This episode invites you to reflect on h...

You’re in for a real treat this week with the utterly gorgeous Nessi Gomes. Born and bred in Guernsey, Nessi is of Portuguese descent and a stunning singer- songwriter. Channelling influences from both sides of her ethnicity, Nessi blends the essence of the traditional, emotional and 'larger than life' Fado folk music of Portugal with British contemporary inspiration. Nessi makes music f...

As Neptune enters Aries for the first time in 165 years, the sooner we sit back comfortably in our thrones of power and calmly and collectively claim our sovereignty, the better off we are going to be. Not to take our place as violent tyrants, but as self assured, content, higher versions of ourselves. Our biggest, brightest, bravest versions. This is freely available at any given moment and opens...

I met Rebecca at the Academy of Creative Training in 2005 while studying acting. Drama school was a joy, and we shared a fantastic cohort. Since then, I’ve admired her fearless exploration of creativity as rebellion, pushing the boundaries of theatre, movement, and the body. A multidisciplinary performance artist, music maker, and cabaret clown, Rebecca infuses her work with surrealism, playfulnes...

This week, we’re diving into the quiet power of disruption. How do the smallest acts of resistance ripple out into wider change? How can challenging complicity in our everyday lives—our words, our choices, our silences—shift the larger systems we exist within? From the personal to the political, we explore how breaking patterns on the micro level can transform the macro. Join me as we unravel the...

Dan is a fascinating fellow, filled with curiosity and a love for mischief, who has lived a rich and varied life from “doing mad things when the universe tells him to”. By keeping an open mind Dan found himself on an adventure with Daisy Campbell and 69 Discordian pilgrims, travelling on a pilgrimage from The Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorchester to the CERN Large Hadron Collider as part of a mass magic...

Jolie Rose welcomes you back to Season 2 of the Nonsense in the Chaos with this deep dive into the volcanoes that lurk in our blind spots thanks to the spell of privilege or social grooming. In this subtle year of 9 energy, it is a key time of purification and the perfect opportunity to clear up our shadow work, ready for turning our lead into gold next year in 2026.  In this episode Jolie mention...

This final podcast in the first series of Nonsense in the Chaos was recorded at the Capricorn Dark Moon, which also happens to be my birthday (on NYE), in the last days of December 2024, and in it I explore the power of the 9 energy that we’re now stepping into for 2025. It’s a subtle and slightly tricky energy to navigate, so this episode seeks to help support you set yourself up for greatness. ...

Of all the crazy ways to know Daisy Rickman, she used to be my cleaner back in Brighton circa 2014. This ethereal being became this year’s folk sensation after Daisy was picked up and promoted by the Guardian newspaper at the start of the year, being tipped for the top. Since then she’s spent the year caught up in a whirlwind of success, learning to build her confidence in playing publicly, and de...

Some miracles took place this week. In the podcast you hear me casting a spell to break my bonds with feelings of inadequacy, unappreciation and disconnection around my relationships having had a wake up call that had shown me that my perspective wasn't the only one in the mix.  Magically, having cast the spell and broke these bonds, the next day, as I was recording this podcast, I found myse...
