In a world obsessed with trends, algorithms, and constant output, what happens when we slow down instead?

In this episode of Proper Madness, I sit down with wildlife photographer and conservationist David to explore the deeper relationship between presence, creativity, and authenticity both online and in life.

Through stories from wildlife photography, travel, and personal evolution, this conversation becomes a reminder that art isn’t made by chasing attention- it’s made by paying attention.

If you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or human feeling overwhelmed by content culture, this episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember why you started.

David is a naturalist, occasional writer, and a passionate wildlife photographer and videographer. Currently living off the west coast of Scotland, he's worked in wild life conservation for over a decade, and the experiences and moments he's had along the way have been unforgettable.

In this episode, I sit down with Sean Kennedy, musician, creator, and one of those people who can say the quiet thing out loud.

We talk about what happens when life forces an identity shift… and how creativity can become the thing that brings you back. We go into curiosity as the root of real creativity, why so many people are trapped in performance (online and in life), and the difference between obsession and devotion. We also talk about facing yourself the mirror moment, accountability, quitting alcohol, discernment, and what it means to protect your gift when you’re going through it.

This episode is for anyone who feels the pull to live more honestly.

Sean Colin Kennedy is a Scottish recording artist based in Nashville. Creating a blend of rock, pop with a nostalgic pull. Sean also in the acting world as well as an advocate and speaker of mental health and the spiritual journey.

In this episode, I sit down with Ruby for a deep, honest conversation about intuition - not as something mystical or abstract, but as something deeply embodied.

We talk about what intuition actually feels like in the body, why so many of us were taught to numb it, and how learning to feel again can change everything. From Akashic Records and breathwork to lineage wounds, sensuality, shame, and surrender - this conversation is about coming back home to yourself.

Intuition isn’t loud.
It’s subtle. It’s physical.
It’s a language of feeling.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, your emotions, or your inner knowing - this episode is for you.

Ruby is the Founder and Boss Witch at The Shift – a company with a mission to help close the wellness gap by joyfully reclaiming our magic. She uses the Akashic Records, tarot, and energy healing to guide people home to their truth, infinite power, and deep magic.

Rather than fortune-telling your future, her approach as an Intuitive Guide is rooted in self-empowerment to remind you that you create your own.

Ruby is a resident intuitive reader at Anima Mundi Apothecary and Mystic Journey Bookstore. She's also a wellness practitioner at The Preserve (formerly Second Home Hollywood) and has worked with celebrities, non-profits, and companies such as Skims, Shiseido, and Neuehouse.
