Ep 20 - Tahira- Cat- Enchanting Energy

Today’s chat is with Cat, or Tahira or you may know them by another stage name from the numerous characters they have played!!
Cat’s pronouns are also they/them:)

This episode is truly a wonderful insight into the creative world of performance art & I love hearing Cat’s stories about the layers of shedding they have gone through and still go through to create the art they do from an uncensored place of truth.


When we recorded this episode together- Cat was in the midst of wrapping up all the ties of creative connections with all the magical communities around Newcastle & the surrounding areas, as Cat is off and settling in by now- to MEXICO!


I was defiantly meant to have this episode out a little sooner than planned but I am really feeling that it is actually the perfect time to share this ep for some end of year inspiration to set some MASSIVE goals for what you truly want & to just go for it!


Just a few things we chat about

  • The strong pull to Belly Dancing from age 9 which catapulted Kat into the world of performance
  • Stripping away fear about worrying what people think of you & Uncensoring your art form
  • Kat’s process in creating performance pieces
  • Radical acceptance “my body is a tool and allows me to do the things I love”
  • A special spoken word at the end specially written for “Making Magic Real” :)

It’s a bit hot today, so grab an iced kombucha & settle in for a whirlwind of a chat!
I hope you get as inspired as I did from this episode- let’s dive in!
Much Magic
