TRIGGER WARNING* mentions of violence

OBVIOUSLY SPOILER WARNING!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Maya’s Mix: Hear Me Out - apologies for a late episode! Uni has been very chaotic and I’m just about keeping up! Today we delve into Wake Up Dead Man (a knives out film) for it’s delicacy and respect in discussing religion as it stands within our world today and what authenticity and inauthenticity looks like within it. As someone who used to be catholic, it really healed my perception on what harm people who weaponise religion can cause as opposed to what it actually is - a beautiful devotion in belief. We talk all things Benoit Blanc to my first ever confession when I was younger! Tune in and enjoy.

TRIGGER WARNING for mentions of abuse and unhealthy environments*

Welcome back to Maya’s Mix: Hear Me Out! Where this week we discuss the, I’m sure you’ve all heard it, the “They Owe You Nothing” mantra, but is that really how relationships are supposed to work? In this episode, we talk about how this mindset shows up in dating, friendships, family dynamics, and online culture, and why it often leaves people feeling unheard and disposable. We explore how boundaries don’t have to mean detachment, and why choosing care, effort, and responsibility isn’t the same as entitlement. We discuss why is came about too, and how we can re wire our thinking to be maybe kinder to each other!

Maya’s Mix: Hear Me Out spins again as we strap in for a brand new episode - The Art Of Capturing. This week, we get into filming at events. Controversial? Yes, but is it really a bad thing? In this episode, we dive into why capturing moments at events can be positive, meaningful, and even powerful. We discuss memories, excitement amnesia, money, choice, generations, exposure, professions, and how videos help events reach more people than ever before. Let’s rethink the camera in the crowd. As always, let me know what you think!
