Guest Bio:

Singer, artist, producer and founder of PxSSY PWR, Jessica Wilde, bares all with brutally honest lyrics, and powerful themes of transformation and healing, melding her sharp-witted lyricism through spoken word/rap alongside her more familiar husky and soul touching singing vocals. Wilde’s songs, like diary entries, taking us on a journey through addiction, escapism, toxic relationships to a commitment to self-love, empowerment and living sober. Wilde has been heavily supported on BBCRadio 1, hit stages including Glastonbury, Jazz Cafe, opened for legends such as Nile Rodgers and Ghetts and collaborated with artists including Rudimental, Emeli Sande and grammy award winner Kizzo.

In this heart-opening episode, we explore the powerful shift happening across the globe — from isolated, individualistic living to community-driven, conscious lifestyles. Host Oliver and guest Dirrassi dive deep into topics such as community healing, self-responsibility, spiritual awakening, psychedelic experiences, and the rising influence of sound and vibration on collective consciousness.

We challenge the broken systems, reimagine how we live, and offer grounded ways to reconnect with ourselves, each other, and the planet. This is not just a conversation — it’s a wake-up call.

✨ Topics include:

The decline of corporate systems and rise of local tribes

Using psychedelics for healing, not escape

The energetic impact of music frequencies

Self-empowerment through daily micro-actions

Why community is the medicine we all need

Movement, dance, and conscious expression

Becoming "self-full" in a world that shames self-care

🎧 Tune in and rediscover what it means to live in alignment with your natural self and your purpose.

Guest Bio:

https://www.instagram.com/japateaching/

Their journey began at the age of 8 with Stagecoach Performing Arts, where they spent a decade immersed in acting, singing, and dance. These formative years laid a strong foundation in performance, discipline, and creative expression that continues to inform their work today.

Driven by a deep love for music, they went on to study Jazz Vocals and Popular Music Songwriting at Leeds College of Music. During this time, they became the lead vocalist for the jazz-fusion collective TC and the Groove Family—a thrilling chapter that allowed them to explore the rich interplay of rhythm, melody, and energy through powerful live performance.

Once a touring musician seeking solace through song, they eventually felt the call to step away from the stage and embark on a transformative spiritual journey. This led to their initiation into the Bhakti Yoga tradition, marking a profound shift in both life and artistry. Years of dedicated spiritual practice reshaped their understanding of creativity, purpose, and healing.

Today, they guide others on their own healing journeys through sound, energy work, and spiritual care. Drawing on sacred Solfeggio frequencies and timeless yogic wisdom, they support people in reconnecting with their essence—helping them move from burnout to joy, and even offering compassionate care through life’s final transitions.

Now creating music that transcends the ordinary, their lyrics are infused with universal truths and spiritual insight, blending soulful melodies with messages that resonate on a deep, healing level. With a unique blend of performance experience and heartfelt devotion to service, they bring authenticity, presence, and a sense of wonder to every project

In this powerful episode, Oliver and his guest, a founder of the London School of Tantra, explore the journey to authenticity and the transformative power of tantric leadership. They discuss shedding societal conditioning, embracing vulnerability, and leading from heart, sex, and soul to create meaningful connections and change society. From overcoming personal challenges like isolation to building a global movement, this conversation dives into intuition, presence, and the courage to act on your inner calling.
