Today I am blessed to be in the presence of Sasha Lorusso-Zyskind. You may know him as Soliloquy, a multifaceted, multi passionate, old soul that speaks his wisdom through his musical gifts in rapping and production. A graphic designer, a spiritual teacher you didnt know you needed and an all round great guy that is going through the process of letting go of old stories and narratives that we all hold onto, leaning into a new version of himself that I'm grateful to unpack with you all.
This episode truly has so much wisdom and truth intertwined and I recommend it best digested on a long drive or while doing something you love. I remember saying to Sasha that I am trying to keep my episodes to an hour and of course this one just was not going to fit in that restriction, as it was never meant to.
We discuss Sasha's new unrealised album that I had the pleasure of listening to and the intricacies that came about through writing it over the past few years. A true piece of poetry, I am honoured to get a sneak peak into an album that I know you're all going to love. We open up about the struggle of vulnerability, sharing your truth and the fears that come along the way.
Sasha truly has so much wisdom to share and I am so excited for you all to experience his knowledge just as much as I did.
