  • Spirituality, Surrendering, and Self-Discovery with Matreya
    Jul 23 2025

    Welcome to The Waffle Shop


    Joining me in the studio this week is the brilliant Matreya


    You may recognise Matreya from his time on the X-Factor when he identified as Mason Noise. Following on from a series of traumatic events and a lot of inner work, Mason has now reinvented himself on so many levels


    We have a waffle about all things music, mental health and his upcoming interview series From Darkness to Light that is taken his brand new single 'I See The Light' to a whole new level.


    Maitreya also opens up about the highs and lows of fame, stepping away from his public persona, and embracing life as an independent artist.


    We deep dive into the healing power of creativity, the mental health tools that helped him rebuild, and how he found purpose beyond performance.


    This episode is a deep dive into identity, evolution, and the magic that happens when you stop performing for others and start showing up for yourself.

  • Finding Purpose, Friendship and 50 Cent with ADMT
    Jul 16 2025

    Welcome to The Waffle Shop!


    Joining me in the studio this week is the brilliant singer/songwriter ADMT


    We have a waffle about the connection between music, mental health, and personal growth. We also dive into ADMT’s journey of self-discovery, the role of therapy in managing anxiety, and how songwriting became a lifeline through his toughest moments.


    From the unexpected success of his viral cover of 50 Cents‘Best Friend’ to the deeper message behind his original work, ADMT opens up about the importance of vulnerability, purpose, and turning pain into power.


    It’s honest, it’s raw, and surprisingly uplifting (with a few laughs thrown in, obviously). So if you’ve ever felt lost in the noise, this one’s your reminder that your voice is worth finding and blasting through a speaker.

  • Love, Loneliness & Letting Go with Montana the Single Bestie
    Jul 9 2025

    Welcome to The Waffle Shop!


    Joining me in the studio this week is one of my favourite people, Montana!


    In this episode we dive headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster of relationships, heartbreak, and the glorious chaos of being single. Expect laughs, oversharing, and maybe a little too much honesty as we unpack why self-love is hotter than any situationship—and why cutting off your ex and your toxic friend might just be your 2025 glow-up move.


    From gut instincts to ghosting, and friendship breakups that hurt more than that one time you got dumped via voice note (rude), this episode is equal parts therapy and stand-up.
