As You Are with Sammi Jefcoate

Welcome to my podcast, 'As You Are': a space for passionate conversations, delving into what makes people who they are. I wanted to open up a discussion on various topics with individuals that may inspire others. Whether it be growing into adulthood and motherhood, or how much that one Smashing Pumpkins record changed your life, I wanted to explore and discuss all these things that make us who we are.

Sometimes, you have the joy of meeting with someone you totally click with: Sam [@ssssamanthaa] is one of those joyous people for me.

Sam basically grew into adulthood online - having started her IG & YT age 19. She somewhat knowingly saw th...

Carly has come up in conversation from a few people I love in this industry [Kyle Galvin, Vic of In The Frow] & it wasn't until she shouted me out on IG that I put 2+2 together as to who Carly is. I've said this kinda thing before, but sometimes I feel you can get a great aura off someone's IG, and Carly totally has that nailed. At 36 weeks pregnant recording this, we naturally talk a bunch about pregnancy, motherhood & parenting, ...

Something a little different for today's episode. Not only did we film this episode in partnership with Maison Margiela's new fragrance, Mutiny, but we also had a more structured chat about what mutiny means to us - such as destroying archaic ideas of motherhood, teenage rebellion, and being yourself...tune in & be sure to head over to IGTV to watch the episode, & leave a question for part II.

Danny is the head of Sixteenth Talent - the influencer agency I am signed with. At the bright young age of 23, Danny saw a gap in the market and started his own agency - pretty impressive. On this episode, we chat about how he became immersed in the world of Instagram, YouTube and social media; our thoughts on university, establishing & growing his own company, and the somewhat dreaded Instagram algorithm...Enjoy.

Kyle is a freelancer photographer. We met a couple of months ago on a photoshoot for Blogosphere magazine: it was the hottest day of the year (thus far) & we were shooting in a boiling hot studio in East London. The moment Kyle walked in the room, I loved him. He has a real PMA vibe; full of chat and banter. On this episode, we chat about his love of photography, his freelancing career & how he built it up, and the influencer world...

Lucie and I met 2 years ago when she tattooed my brows - and changed my life. No longer do I rely on my 10 (lol) eyebrow hairs. On today's episode, we discuss tattoos & cosmetic tattooing (naturally) Playboy (yup) parenting, and drugs. Actually, we discuss so many things - I can't summarise it all here. It was such an honest & open chat. We went out for lunch after & let it continue... Get comfy, get a cuppa, enjoy.

Back in January, when I went full-time-blogger, I was invited to a Cult Beauty retreat - and this is where I met Ruth. I loved her no BS sorta vibe, and I felt she didn't judge me for being so new to the industry - it can be a hard world. On today's episode, we chat about all things blogging - how Ruth started out, how the industry has changed, and securing a future in it... Get comfy.

Charly & I met at a Quay Sunglasses event, earlier in the year - if I recall correctly, we bonded over book chats & J.D.Salinger.
