After nine episodes, I wanted to take a step back and reflect on what I’ve learned so far, not just about podcasting, but about creativity, reinvention, identity, and the kind of life I actually want to build.

In this solo episode, I talk about the biggest mistakes I’ve made so far, how my approach to interviewing and storytelling is evolving, and the challenges of building something meaningful while still figuring it out in real time.

This episode also feels like a transition point.

These first episodes have taught me a lot. Moving forward, I want Phosphenes to become more intentional, more refined, and more deeply aligned with the conversations I truly want to have.

Thank you to everyone who has listened, supported the show, or shared these conversations so far.

There’s still a long way to go, but I’m excited for what comes next!

In this episode, we talk about what led her to leave behind a stable career, the process of building her mobile coffee trailer from the ground up, and the uncertainty and excitement that come with choosing a different path.

A conversation about courage, reinvention, and creating a life you actually want to live.

We talk about the road to Many Miles, staying connected to tradition, and building a creative life through music.

This is a conversation about identity, artistry, and following what calls you.

We talk about her riding program, the path that led her there, and the decisions she had to make along the way.

This is a conversation about trusting what you want, navigating uncertainty, and building something that actually feels right.

They have an exciting new album titled “Keep Your Friends Closer” dropping on April 17th, and the singles that have been released so far have all been fantastic!

I also talk a bit about the experience of hosting a podcast, and which episode has been my most viewed one to date!

In this episode of The Phosphenes Podcast I discuss life back East, the Alberta separatism movement, and what it’s like to move across the country with Nick Williams, who came to Grande Prairie 20 years ago following the call of opportunity that has brought so many other people here as well.

In this episode of The Phosphenes Podcast, I sit down with Kendra, an archaeologist based in Canada.

We talk about what it’s like to build a career in archaeology, the realities of working in the field, and the deeper significance of preserving history in a world that’s constantly moving forward.

This conversation explores:

• the path into archaeology and what the work actually looks like• why the past still shapes the way we live today• the importance of remembering, documenting, and protecting what came before us

Kendra’s perspective is a reminder that the past isn’t something we leave behind, it’s something we carry with us, whether we realize it or not.

First up: Shares, a DJ based in Denver, Colorado, who is also my friend.

This also happens to be The Lost Episode, the very first one I attempted to record.

The path wasn’t simple. Immigration rarely is. There were obstacles, uncertainty, and moments where the easier choice would have been to go back to Australia.

But he persevered, and has now built a life for himself here, an ocean away from the small Australian town where he grew up.

From writing songs after long workdays, to taking creative risks and chasing a dream, Seb shares his journey so far.

Featuring an acoustic performance of his single “Cheap Cigars”.

The first full episode releases next Tuesday.
