She tells us of her determination to make her dream a reality, which she did, gracing the podiums of Pacha and Amnesia, among others. Standing up for herself and fighting for fair working conditions.
Then eventually making the switch into the club event production, artist liaison world and working with some of the top DJ's and promoters in the house circuit here in Ibiza. Putting on some of the most popular club nights in history.
Becoming a Mum and then finding a way to stay here on the island through starting her own company Paintpots Childcare, enabling her to live here full time. Giving her the opportunity to care for her own child as well as others on the island.
She now has a team of over 40 trained, fully qualified and police checked staff, mostly teachers that can cater for nannying, babysitting and even catering for children's parties here on the island. She also co hosts family friendly raves too!
Expecting her third child and being here many years, she loves giving back through her charity work, supporting the two children's homes here. A true gift to the island and a lovely lady to boot.

In this episode we meet Michelle Reid, who tells us her story, when she came here, how she came to be here and why she is now leaving the island. A warm and loving Canadian, who started with a Deep love of Drum and Bass and followed her nose to find some electronic music and came to Ibiza 6 years ago.
She tells us how her life brought her from Canada to live in London where she worked in fashion for many years, before giving it all up to move to Ibiza and retrain as a Personal Trainer. She came here with her boyfriend and ran away from a heavy commute and wanted the balance in life that this island can bring.
Unfortunately this relationship has broken down and they have decided to go their separate ways so she is taking a break from the island and spending the summer back in Canada and then she will move to Portugal to do a course in permaculture and Vedic meditation. Wishing you the best of luck Michelle. We will miss you.

Helping to make the Manumission Motel rooftop shanti town, meeting Howard Marks and many other incredible people along the way.

In this episode, we meet Sally Wright, a bright and bubbly established life coach and brand photographer originally from Kidderminster.
Living here nearly 3 years now, she tells us her story of the struggles of infidelity and numerous failed IVF attempts, her proposal on the rocks at Mambos and hitting the 'fuck it' button, selling their family home in the UK and buying a dream property in Ibiza.
Where she's made a success of taking photos of her fellow entrepreneurs. Producing quality images for use on their socials, websites, and their branding, and cleverly creating a monthly 'photoshoot club' which is growing in popularity with each new month.
She tells us of her love of community and how reaching out and getting involved has made her time here in Ibiza so much easier. With her friendly nature and positive outlook on life, I'd say she fits right in and will be here for years to come.

So she went back to the UK with her dream in the forefront of her mind, made a plan and ended up coming back, getting her dream job and coming back year after year dancing on the podiums and managing the team for Judgement Sundays.
Heading into her early 30’s she had to stay in Essex when she got married and had two children. Then eventually she made the move back and has lived here ever since. Her children growing up tri-lingual and her growing a new business now as a Health Coach. Offering intuitive coaching with bio-individuality programs to suit all bodies and minds, across the world. Also offering a epigenetic test to give you the full breakdown of what your body needs. Making every day count in her spiritual home.

This podcast series will introduce you to all the colourful characters of Ibiza, the residents of the island, who all have a love for Ibiza in their hearts. They will give us their stories of how and why they decided to lay their hat here and call Ibiza their home.
They will give some good advice for anyone that is thinking of making the move, some top tips on how to get yourself known here and how to make yourself seen as a part of the ex pat community here on this magical white isle.
Along the way, there will also be a chance to get to know all the sides of this magnetic island and all that she has to offer, with stories of wild nights in parties in the big super clubs, to the other end of the spectrum and to the wellness side of the island, where yoga teachers and sound healings are a common practise and the gods and goddesses of old are still worshipped with gratitude.
Ibiza is a multi faceted tiny little piece of rock in the mediterranean with energy that brings people from all over the world, to enjoy the stunning beaches, with the near permanent sunshine. To be who they want to be, to feel free and to create memories that last a life time with complete strangers that become friends for life.
Ibiza, is still my favourite place in the world....could it be yours?!
Let's find out....
