In this episode I sit in conversation with my dear friend, Paje Honor. Paje is a makeup artist, hair stylist, photographer, Human design and tarot consultant, and entrepreneur extraordinaire. Creativity just oozes out of her, and she is one of the most generous humans I’ve had the pleasure of knowing.

We talk about single motherhood, using authenticity and creativity to pay the bills, giving back to community, and the empowering practice of claiming one’s unique beauty.

Settle in and get cozy for this final full length episode of season one. I hope you can carry Paje’s whimsy into your winter months.

moon is a multi-disciplinary artist and creator living in the Niagara Region with roots in the Caribbean. In this episode, we dive into spirituality and the sacred as sources of healing and inspiration, the notion of divinity, the power words wield, good old magic, identity, binaries, and barriers.

There’s so much synergy and enthusiasm in this conversation, I’m excited for you to hear how it all unfolds.

In the following episode, I have the pleasure of a deep dive with Maja Bannerman, a published writer, poet, songwriter and performance artist who lives here in the Niagara Region. Maja shares her passion for stepping into the lives of characters she creates to raise awareness, explore and process emotion, advocate, and tell story. We also talk about ancestors, the healing beauty of gratitude and simplicity, and the random surprises and serendipity of the universe.
