For this episode, I invited my big sister Olivia to talk about how she juggles working for a company and having a business aside.
She has gone through a long burn out phase and she was kind enough to talk to me about it. What did it to her? What good things she experienced because of it?
Her business aside is having a editor company where she translates spiritual books.
Join us to this conversation in English and share around you!
RECAP EN Français -> 55mn15
Olivia est ma soeur et on discute ici sur un sujet que beaucoup peuvent se retrouver: avoir un business à côté quand on travaille pour une boîte.
Qu'est ce qui l'a poussé? Quelles sont les enjeux?
Puis elle nous parle aussi d'une période de sa vie délicate - le burn out.
Cette période a duré quelques années et elle a gentiment voulu nous expliquer ce qu'elle a traversé et comment elle s'en est sorti.
Ecoutez bien cet épisode! Et partagez-le!

J'ai invité mon ami Tahina. Il a joué du piano pour moi, on a fait pleins de concerts. Il est aussi de très bon conseil. Il est pasteur, il est papa et cet épisode est centré sur la différence ou les similarités des deux aspects de sa vie. Il nous explique comment ses enfants le voient, ce qui est attendu de sa vie de couple et de famille afin de montrer l'exemple.
This episode is about Tahina. A friend of mine that used to play piano in my band. He's a pastor, a dad of 3 and today we talk about how these two aspects of his life can be similar or complementary.
How does he juggle between being present for his parishers and for his kids.
Check this out!

Aujourd'hui j'ai invité Ophélia, ma cousine/copine pour me parler de son expérience en tant que manager de boutique avant ses 30 ans.
Elle nous fait part de son parcours, des difficultés, des erreurs, des bienfaits, de l'implication sur ses relations amoureuses.
Ophélia est très inspirante! Vous verrez!
This is episode is about being a female manager before 30. I added 'female' because it's not automatic to see women on top of the chain and even less young women!
She will dive into the difficulties, the mistakes, the things she learned..
Chcek the recap in English!

Among them, her own, The Notebasher, where she plays backing tracks for singers that can't find a piano version online.

02:58 Being a musician since kindergarten
05:15 Multitasking and working with 2 languages

RECAP EN FRANCAIS -> ALLER A 40mn30
Aujourd'hui, Chloe m'a rejoint pour nous expliquer comment elle jongle entre tous ses différents projets artistiques.
Parmi eux, son projet personnel, The Notebasher, où elle enregistre une version piano de toute partition pour les chanteurs qui en ont besoin.
Elle nous parle de son organisation, des décisions sur le moment et que parfois, être auto entrepreneur peut être compliqué pour la santé physique ou mentale.
What is it about?
This podcast was created with the idea that we can be friends for long and still have deep conversations, or on the contrary, never talk about intense topics. It's still friendship either way. But maybe, this will open more conversations, to think, rethink things..learn or even..unlearn.
We talk about arts, career, parenting, loss, life itself.
Come listen and let us know what you think.
Who are they?
For these first few episodes, I asked some of my dearest friends to be part of this journey. They said yes and I can't thank them enough.
Remotely, in person, they were present to talk about stuff that means a lot to them, to us.
To you, my guests, thank you.
Amy
