There is something in that delayed gratification of finally getting something right after so, so many attempts.

It just feels like I'm getting somewhere.

Woohoo!

I have made something.

Some songs come to you quickly.

Oxytocin came to me in two sessions, but I'm starting to realise that some take longer.

And this one that I've been working on...

Man, it's been a while.

This is an idea called Still Water.

I wrote it initially last summer, and I think it's such a spring song.

I tried loads of ideas and just nothing sat well with the initial chords.

But I cracked it open today because I've been walking through all the blossom lined streets.

The sun is out, spring is here.

And I was like, you know what, it's time to finish Still Water.

It's all about wanting every fig on the tree.

Ultimately, I think I'd have to trim this

beautiful intro.

It's so muddy.

I want it to sound like the earth.

There is something in that delayed gratification of finally getting something right after so, so many attempts.

It started to sound like something.

I've honestly just been scouring sample packs trying to find

that piano and then just layering different things on top of that initial sample.

The scroll got the better of me this morning.

There are so many good things about being freelance and working for yourself, but sometimes I do just wish that I had somewhere to be at a certain time,

because the lack of accountability means that you are having to be very self -driven.

And I actually really like the days where I'm told you've got to be somewhere at nine.

I think a balance is just really important.

When I get in a scroll hole in bed in the morning, I have to snap out of it.

So I put on a podcast that got me out of bed.

I did my breakfast, got dressed, made my coffee, but then I have to do a little dopamine detox before I start work.

So I'll journal and I'll meditate.

The meditation in system.

The journaling is really good for just getting any thoughts

or worries you have out on paper because generally I get in a scroll

because I don't want to get up and

that usually means there's something I don't want to do in my work day

or whatever and they just level me right out.

For meditation I have always used Headspace.

I love that app, I've been using it for eight years.

Eight years is crazy to say out loud.

With Headspace you can do the courses which are very useful, they kind of ground my practice but then On top of that, you can do these like SOS meditations, incredibly, incredibly helpful.

You can just dip into them and they're like 5, 10, 15 minutes.

And for those kind of leveling resets, they're so helpful.

And as you know, I love the sleep casts.

They are my number one way to like help my head if I'm struggling to sleep.

And they're always expanding the collection.

I think they've got like a travel series going on at the moment

because I went to listen the other day while Jack was away and I found one that was set in Japan.

In my experience, there's not one single thing that's gonna fix your nervous system or your anxiety.

But I do think that there are a few tools that can really, really help.

And for me, I found that Headspace is one of them.

For me, it's just great that Headspace has these different kinds of meditations for different situations and scenarios.

It means it's a really adaptable tool that just works in my day to day.

Headspace has proven to increase happiness and decrease stress in just 10 days.

It's just crazy to me that for so long, I survived with zero techniques to manage my stress.

Days like today would just be ruined from 9 :00 a .m.

And it is currently 10 :05.

and I'm okay.

If you use my link in the description

or you scan the QR code on screen now you can try headspace free for 60 days.

I would really recommend giving it a go and just seeing how Headspace can work for you.

And thank you so much Headspace for working with me on this video.

It's always a joy because as you can tell, I'm a paying subscriber and a big fan.

Okay, time to work.

I'm going to go to the next one.

- I'm glad I was.

- Good.

Thank you.

- Yeah.

Thank you.

I'm going to be a little bit.

you you Oh Thank you.

Yesterday just was not my day, even slightly, when it came to work.

I just crashed out really hard and just felt very overwhelmed.

And then to top it all off, a photo landed in my inbox from the Cezanne event.

Look.

lenses lie, you will look different on every single lens in loads of different lighting, different angles and I logically know all this right?

But I still got really, really in my head about the photo that I was sent.

I am like twice the size of the two girls in the photo with me.

And I know partially that's because I'm standing on the edge of the photo and that distorts.

And I know partially it's the angle, partially it's the flash, but just like, oh my goodness, I...

cannot get it out of my head, even now.

It's so funny how the emotional side of your brain will just override the rational.

I was in the queue to try and get bicep tickets for Corsica Studios but I did not make it.

I was in the queue for half an hour.

I should have realised at that point that it was long gone.

That has been my third or fourth attempt to get tickets for any of the Corsica final shows.

If anyone has a hookup, please let me know.

All I want is tickets to Corsica.

And I got a lime, I took a little detour through the park.

so good i don't know why i'm standing at the top

of my stairs just chatting to you by the way 168 hours i try to keep quite curated

so i kind of trimmed the fat

but i just wanted to check in tell you what i'm

up to tell you what's going on in my little head

i have a lovely day planned i'm gonna crack on with

some work now make myself a little cup of tea that's my update oh my god i'm dead hello you look lovely

100

- I'm wearing a bag and white t -shirt.

101

- Dreams, dreams always.

102

We are going to the Apple Music International Women's Day event, but we are late.

103

We couldn't find our way.

104

We're in Bathsy Power Station.

105

It is just hectic.

106

We're not South London girls, but hey, it's fine.

107

And we're men in disguise.

108

Woo!

109

- Woo -hoo!

110

Put your hands together for Mahalia!

111

Yeah!

112

Welcome, babe!

113

I was just making music in my room with my computer, and it was just for me and just for the love of it.

114

So I feel like because I've kind of returned to that energy now, I feel like I've gotten in touch with my brothers even more.

115

And yeah, I'm probably here.

116

This guy just said to me, have you heard of Gypsy Shrine?

117

And I said, no. She said, I used to model for them and showed me...

118

The craziest?

119

Oh my god!

120

The first shoot is the best one.

121

They said more glitter.

122

More!

123

I love it!

124

You were iconic!

125

Thank you, thank you girl.

126

I'm Sarah Merpade of Adolta.

127

Also not very sexy to end.

128

It's okay babe, you're not on a date.

129

You are filming.

130

No. I have a session today with my friend Ryan.

131

We're writing some house music.

132

At the moment, I just have the worst nerves before sessions.

133

They make me feel like I'm going into an exam.

134

It doesn't help that it's 10am at the moment.

135

But it's alright.

136

Like I'm walking through the park, it's really nice.

137

I have my little coffee.

138

I've got an almond flat white because...

139

I'm not a darey before singing, should I be singing?

140

I'm listening to the Rose Grey album because I saw her on the panel yesterday.

141

I was like, you know what, I'm not actually giving loud and pleasable a chance and it's It's so good.

142

I don't know why I haven't listened to it before now.

143

Jordan told me to listen to it as well.

144

I did a post on like what the cool girls were listening to last summer.

145

and I asked my friend Jordan, she was like the Rose Grey album, you should try it.

146

Jordan was right.

147

Hopefully I feel nice and calm by the time I arrive.

148

Also, it's Eve today.

149

Everyone's out with their families and it's just so nice.

150

By the time you see this, it will be long gone.

151

Happy Mead.

152

very unsure about how i feel about this shot for many

153

reasons it feels really close to my face even though it's probably not the session with ryan

154

and james was really good so it turns out ryan has a producer partner called james

155

and so he brought some songs and we wrote to them we

156

a hard one to start with which maybe we shouldn't have done.

157

I also loved starting at 10.

158

10 is a perfect time to start a session.

159

We did like 45 minutes of chat and then we just got into it.

160

God you know

161

when you're taking your makeup off that's sat on your face all day it's the best feeling in the world

162

and it wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be.

163

It was actually a really good session for my confidence.

164

There's just no worse feeling than leaving

165

and feeling like you did a bad job especially as people have given up their time to work together with you.

166

I was the one singing as well so it just like pushed me to use my voice a bit more.

167

Like Ryan and James just

168

environment really comfortable so I felt like I could sing because what tends to happen at the moment is

169

I can sing fine when I'm at home, but the moment I'm in a session, my voice kind of closes up.

170

And the thing about making music is you just have to keep trying.

171

You'll write 100 songs, sometimes it's the first one that's amazing, sometimes it's song 100.

172

There's also a certain amount of momentum you need with creative projects.

173

I was talking to Ryan about the first music he ever made

174

and he was saying 'oh my god it was so bad' and we listened to some of it and he's definitely

175

a great writer now.

176

We were talking about music that we made a few years ago and how none of that that we made separately.

177

It's just another reminder that it's just good to get stuff out.

178

Now there's obviously the flip side of that.

179

When we saw the panel yesterday, so many of the women on

180

that panel had held a lot of their music for a long time

181

while they've kind of worked out who they were as an artist.

182

I also just kind of feel like that comes with age as well and experience.

183

Yeah, like when I think about the number of songs I've written since I started writing again, we're talking like 75.

184

maybe 80?

185

Yeah it's a fine balance because sometimes you just have to get the reps in

186

but at a certain point you have to start sharing the art that you're making.

187

In your creative pursuits do you feel like sharing is an important part of the process?

188

For me personally, sharing is important, like selective sharing.

189

Anyway, it was really good for my confidence.

190

I'm feeling a lot better.

191

I've got a session on Tuesday as well, and it's made me feel so much better about that session, 'cause that's with someone I've never met before.

192

Someone who produced one of my favourite songs in 2024.

193

I'm really excited for that, but I'm also super nervous.

194

But a bit less nervous now.

195

I forgot that it makes you so tired.

196

I literally got home and it's late.

197

on my bed, unable to move frozen in time.

198

And I had my friends leaving drinks this evening, I was like dragging myself out of bed.

199

Anyway, that's my little clean face.

200

Keeping skincare super simple, although I am going to reintroduce tretinoin soon.

201

I didn't want to reintroduce it before I did my microneedling, but I think I'm probably not going to get any more macronidling done for a while so I think it's probably time.

202

Conversation for another day.

203

Let's go to sleep.

204

Hi!

205

Oh my god the bag!

206

It's my first outing with her!

207

Sorry I was like I don't have time to do this and I'm working on my lateness.

208

Space NK own brand body oil that is sparkly.

209

It's not a body oil.

210

It's a dry oil.

211

I feel like some people like brought up their chest and stuff.

212

I feel like it's a good alternative.

213

And it's so nice but it's the dark brown one that you need to get.

214

Even on us.

215

It's like a dead body right now.

216

Oh no this isn't so nice.

217

Really?

218

No it's like thick oil.

219

Look at my new hair.

220

Oh it's so oily.

221

So good to drink. So

222

i'm not entirely sure what is up with me today i have felt so aggy and so

223

sad and that's really unusual for me especially when i'm not in my luteal phase there's no like

224

hormonal reason why i should feel like this we had a

225

really nice walk in the park went to hackney downs

226

and obviously got pappos had a nice little chat with gabe

227

while we were there as well and i was feeling really down on myself

228

that i didn't have plans this weekend but i had plans on thursday night

229

and friday night i don't know why i'm feeling funny about being in on a saturday especially

230

when i'm in this kind of a mood this is not a mood

231

that i should be bringing out into the world honestly it could be anything

232

but i think mainly i just feel this gap at the moment between

233

where I feel like I should be in my life, and where I currently am.

234

There's a lot of stuff I don't share on here about what's going on.

235

There's some stuff I guess.

236

I hate to be vague, I hate not being transparent but I have to be for a while.

237

There's some elements of life

238

that have really not panned out the way I wanted them to

239

and that is just life and I just have to practice acceptance around it.

240

Like I'm not in the driver's seat for a lot of this stuff.

241

Sometimes life just happens to you and that is fine, you just have to respond and part of the response is going I can either accept the thing,

242

as it is or continues, lest it plague me.

243

Or I can try and respond to the things that can be shaped by me.

244

But a lot of this stuff is just completely out of my control

245

so the way to happiness is just to accept them as they are.

246

And I'm generally pretty good at that but sometimes, some days, it just doesn't quite work.

247

Also I'm really sorry if you can hear "the washing machine upstairs." That must be really annoying.

248

And I just look at my output online and I'm like, you're not doing enough, you're not making enough.

249

Look, all these people who are doing TikTok and YouTube and Substack and they're being consistent.

250

Things I said I was gonna do in January, build those systems.

251

Like I have not built those systems and I'm feeling down about it.

252

Like I'm actually finally sitting down and reading Parish Review.

253

I guess it's the new edition of the Parish Review.

254

Issue, the new issue of the Parish Review.

255

Oh my God, let's try that again.

256

The new issue of the Parish Review arrived I've been reading it It's good,

257

but this is like the first time I'm sitting down to read in fucking ages, honestly.

258

I've been picking up a book for like 10 minutes every three days at the moment, and I'm using all of this time to just doom scroll and I just...

259

frustrate myself because I see where the problems are and I try and sort them out and I just

260

don't manage it again and again so if you're in that same position as well just know that like

261

mate I'm right here with you I want to be able to make videos recommending like

262

really good books and films and TV and all this stuff

263

and I just don't make any fucking time to consume any of it.

264

And I feel completely out of control of that relationship with my phone.

265

Really I should just delete Instagram and TikTok and Call it a day.

266

Anyway, sorry, that was a big old moan.

267

Oh, and also my great aunt died today, which is like, sorry, I just checked my phone and saw my family talking about it, which is just super, super sad.

268

She was like the matriarch of all of the Trinidad side of our family and a really impressive woman.

269

And obviously my grandma's sister, she was incredibly close to her.

270

There's just stuff going on.

271

I've also spent so much of this week working on one particular song.

272

and it's nowhere near done.

273

And I really thought I would finish it this week, but that is not happening.

274

Some things just take longer.

275

So I tried to engineer some self -esteem today.

276

I cleaned the house up.

277

I haven't managed everywhere.

278

I've done the living room.

279

kitchen and I clean the bathroom and I am now trying to get my head into this Paris review.

280

Actually the first story I'm really into at the moment is really good

281

but it's very dreamy and cerebral

282

and I just love stuff that's written about women having fun and that is what this is.

283

Anyway I'm also having a really nice cup of tea.

284

If you don't know my tea of choice is decaf Earl Grey. so, so good.

285

Anyway, thanks for listening.

286

We have a brief bit of time today, so I've booked tickets to the Rose Wiley exhibition at the RA.

287

I've been meaning to go.

288

It looks really, really good.

289

But yeah, I'm a bit frazzled.

290

The train was just insane this morning.

291

- Thank you.

292

you .

293

Thank you.

294

Thank you.

295

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
