Who is our guest?

"Amethysta Herrick, Ph.D. is a scientist, storyteller, and professional overthinker of all things identity. Also, she happens to be a transgender woman.

Ami's work dives deep into the origin and nature of identity, particularly gender, because let’s be honest—figuring out who we are is a full-time job, and she made it hers. Through her writing, podcasts, and videos, Ami explores these topics freely on The Purplepaw Blog—the website she founded so we can actually have these conversations without someone shouting into the void (or worse, Twitter).

Identity isn’t just a Queer thing—it’s a human thing. Every single person, at some point, asks, “Who am I?” and “Why does this all feel like an existential rollercoaster?” Amethysta Herrick's mission is to show that gender and identity exploration aren’t fringe ideas—they’re fundamental human experiences."

Summary

In this inspiring conversation, Tally Koren shares her journey from a challenging childhood to becoming an international singer-songwriter. She discusses the importance of self-worth, overcoming family objections, and the transformative power of music. Tally emphasizes the need for authenticity in the creative process and the significance of support systems in pursuing one's dreams. The conversation also touches on relationships, personal growth, and the importance of following one's passion to lead a fulfilling life.

Who is our guest?

"Tally Koren arrived in London with 1 suitcase and a dream in the late 90th, and against all odds became an international Singer - Songwriter. Despite family objections and countless music business rejections, what kept her going was, turning every minus to plus, taking every refusal to become better, and every hard situation to do something good to herself and others.

Her turning point to fulfil her childhood dreams and to become a singer happened at the age of 26, while she was in a very un-happy marriage.

A singing teacher immediately recognised her talent and thought that her low voice is reminding of Karen carpenter.

The rest is then history."
