The Craft with May Globus

Marcy Bulkeley has infinite layers to her: powerful, creative, mystical, gentle, bold, and nurturing all at once. With over 25+ years in the music industry, she’s a respected music supervisor, having scored trailers and created original music for films like Dawn of the Dead, Inception, Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse & Looper. In 2019, she joined Universal Music Group as VP of Music Curation + Sync A&R. During the pandemic, she led an initiative to create music for meditation apps, collaborating with Kacey Musgravdes, Jhene Aiko, and Katy Perry.After recently leaving UMG, Marcy launched her creative baby: Subtle Mother, where she guides musicians, producers & songwriters from across the globe in creating music as healing across all platforms. She grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut, where generations of her family were raised. Nature was woven into her early life, from the town’s gardens to lakes and rivers in upstate New York. Music was a constant companion—her mother had her listening to Michael Jackson and film scores, and her father would play her The Beatles and Cat Stevens. When she was 11-years-old, Marcy got the chance to go to a recording studio with her father and, after, told him she wanted to put music to picture. At 12, she picked up her first drink and her long journey to sobriety began. Through darker times, music was always grounding. After Emerson College, Marcy did stints with record labels, publishing companies, and music producers, leading to a coveted internship with the legendary G. Marq Rosswell. She discovered kundalini yoga, meditation, and breathwork during this era and got sober by age of 29. In this conversation, we explore how playlists are time capsules in one’s life; intentionality of film scoring & music supervision and the importance of lyrics; what she learned at UMG; birthing Subtle Mother into the world; what music as medicine means; creating with her husband Danny; and much more.[TIMESTAMPS]7:57 - Growing up12:25 - Why sound tracks and film scores are important for her23:21 - Did the way she listen to music change on her journey to sobriety27:13 - Her creative process33:47 - Her time with Universal Music Group 57:45 - What to expect from Subtle Mother01:00:53 - Where to find her01:02:00 - Final question[TODAY'S SPONSORS]otō healing: https://www.instagram.com/otohealing/ - email otohealing at gmail.com to get 10% off your initial sound therapy session

Elisa Kosonen's empathetic, intuitive nature is a gift. It's why she is an incredible storyteller, having spent the last few decades in various senior level roles—editor, writer, publicist, marketing & communications—at magazines (NUVO and Flare), start-ups (Garmentory), and global brands (Aritzia and Mindful Collective). Now a registered holistic nutritionist, she recently launched her practice 14 Carrots. Her offerings include 1:1 coaching focused on reconnecting to your physiology and discovering your unique nutritional needs, reconnecting with your body/mind, and creating a lasting foundation for a full and energetic life.Raised in the suburbs surrounding Vancouver, her childhood was idyllic—her father was an educator, her mother launched a career counseling business, and the home was filled with fun. Elisa was both creative and athletic, fascinated with the body from a young age. Though excelling in English, she always wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon—so, at university, she began a major in kinesiology. But it didn't feel aligned at the time and she explored other avenues, finding her lane in journalism. After graduating, she landed an editor role at NUVO Magazine, then had life chapters in London and New York. When her late mother was diagnosed with cancer, she returned to Vancouver and settled into her career. During the pandemic, her true calling came knocking—and she went back to school to become a registered holistic nutritionist & certified health coach. In this episode, we discuss her creativity and penchant for storytelling; what she's learned about the beautiful interconnectivity of our bodily systems; understanding the crucial role of digestion & being present with our meals; how trying different foods can help us discover what makes us feel our best; rituals and mindfulness in eating; and much more.[TIMESTAMPS]00:00 - Introduction and Childhood in Coquitlam06:03 - Exploring Creativity and Storytelling in the Fashion Industry13:09 - Transitioning from Fashion to Nutrition31:13 - Personalized Nutrition and Unique Nutritional Needs36:22 - Tuning Into Our Bodies and Exploring Different Foods39:24 - Honoring Cultural and Ethnic Influences on Food Preferences41:06 - Rituals and Mindfulness in Eating45:14 - The Power of Holistic Nutrition for Well-being50:13 - Finding Joy and Adventure in Our Meals[TODAY'S SPONSORS]otō healing: https://www.instagram.com/otohealing/ - email otohealing at gmail.com to get 10% off your initial sound therapy session

Everyone needs a little Sean Daly in their life. This artist, creative director, set & production designer, and go-to character architect in Hollywood has a long list of accomplishments, but his humility never lets you know it. From set designing with legendary photographers like Annie Leibovitz, to the interior design of Lulu Restaurant at the Hammer Museum and creative direction on Phaidon books, to advising Robert Downey Jr. on Sherlock Holmes, Jamie Foxx on The Soloist, and others with getting deep into character in some of their most well-known roles, Sean has done it all. His grandparents immigrated from Ireland and Italy to Boston, Massachusetts, to start anew, where Sean was eventually born and bred. The youngest of seven children, his household was a lively place—no two kids were alike, no cable at home, and his creativity was nurtured by his artistic mother. To her, the world was a field trip to be observed. His dad taught Sean structure and how to ask himself the right questions, a great balance to his artist soul.A summer acting program ushered young Sean to a new world: acting. After high school, he went to a small liberal arts university in New Jersey across the river from Manhattan, a place that gave him a sense of freedom. He fell into the indie film scene, leading him to the Sundance Film Festival, then a move to LA. It was being an actor on set—and an industry strike—that sparked his curiosity in set/production design, and the rest is history. In this episode, we talk about how imaginative play as a kid led to acting; the things one has to consider when world-building on shoots; finding the balance between character detail ideas he has, with ideas that actors may have; adventure of creative challenges he’s given; and much more.

Scott Borkowski has an energy that’s calm yet dynamic. Humble but no doubt powerful. Creativity pours out of him as an artist, tattoo artist, skateboarder, entrepreneur and owner of Grateful Tattoo in Squamish, Canada.Born and raised in Toronto, though his parents both worked in the corporate world, they unconditionally supported his artistry and right-brain inclinations. As a teen, he often took the train downtown, eventually moving there when he was 18-years-old. Skateboarding brought much into his life, a medium for getting more deeply into art, culture and music. Scott was fascinated by tattoos from a young age, getting his first one at 15. After a chance apprenticeship and doing temporary tattoos at music festivals, this fascination ended up becoming a booming career, with him inking some of the biggest names in music, including Rüfüs Du Sol, LANY, Lil Yachty, and 6lack.When the pandemic hit, he and his wife took a leap and moved west. There, he’s been steadily building community through his tattoo shop, giving back to the skateboarding community and mother nature, percolating on additional ventures, and working with brands like Levi’s, Panasonic, Environmental Defense, and more.In this episode, we explore Scott’s childhood, how he feels about art, what skateboarding has brought to his life, his philosophy when it comes to tattooing, what’s on the horizon, and much more.[TIMESTAMPS]3:31 - Growing Up7:41 - How art and creativity came to hime at a young age9:35 - What drew him to skateboarding 10:29 - How has he seen the scene change11:34 - What he hopes to carve in the industry for himself 12:40 - What led him to be a tattoo artist17:06 - Philosophies of work and business 19:00 - What brought him to Squamish and how it has been23:39 - Leaps of faith26:17 - Would he move back to Toronto27:42 - The next 5 years of his life28:41 - Giving back30:35 - What would he say to his younger self31:07 - Upcoming projects32:14 - How he pushes through imposter syndrome 34:12 - Final question 34:42 - Where to find him[TODAY'S SPONSORS]otō healing: https://www.instagram.com/otohealing/ - email otohealing at gmail.com to get 10% off your initial sound therapy session

Adam Lewis is precisely the kind of person you want in your life: a supportive friend, conscious being, creator/entrepreneur & community builder. He’s driven and fired up, while also being open and vulnerable—an admirable balance. He was founder of flash chilled coffee brand Miura, before launching hot & cold therapy circuit The Portal Project. Now, as head of partnerships for Othership, Adam has a big hand in growing the popular Toronto-based social bathhouse—focused on wellness through sauna, ice bath & breathwork experiences—and helping cultivate its dedicated community.Born in Toronto, he spent his childhood growing up just outside of the city. He comes from two lineages: Jewish on his father’s side, Japanese on his mother’s. His father grew up in South Africa, during the intensity of the apartheid. His mother’s grandparents immigrated to Canada from Japan to plant roots abroad. A wild & free kid, Adam found solace in nature (still does). As a teen, he was captain of the track & field team, representing Canada at high level competitions. Entrepreneurship was his main focus at Dalhousie University, and Miura was his first solo business. As Miura wound down, Adam went through a life shake-up and found healing in cold plunging in lakes & building a portable sauna with his own hands. This became the Portal Project, and served as a bridge to connecting with Othership, where he is today. In this conversation, we go in many heartful directions: his family lineages & the cultural impact of his Jewish & Japanese roots; how being a top athlete encouraged him to push his body & mind limits; the transition unwinding Miura into discovering hot & cold therapy; understanding masculine & feminine energies within; what he’s learned being on the Othership team; being loving witnesses to each other’s life journey; and more.

Dean Morris is a very good man. It’s a feeling you get immediately—he feels like the human version of an all-encompassing, welcoming hug. A longtime educator, he found his way to being a pastor, an athlete and lululemon ambassador and now co-host of the podcast A Little More Good & A More Good Media cofounder. He grew up in Richmond, on an acre property in the middle of the city. It was a quintessential childhood, running free and exploring the outdoors—he was always curious about how things worked and wanted to understand the world around him. In high school, his class was tasked to research their heroes, leading him to find leaders like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., both of whom looked up to Jesus as a guiding light. Religion was not a foundation of his household, but Dean had friends who were part of a church and, in his curiosity and despite some skepticism, met with a pastor to ask about Jesus. He started to go to church, with some wise words from his father: keep your brain turned on. When his parents divorced after his high school graduation, Dean went through a huge transformation within and began to truly understand the spiritual nature of who he was. He began working at church, where he did some music and teaching and eventually went to seminary and got his masters in ministry leadership and culture. In this conversation, we explore topics from ownership versus belonging; his desire for social justice; reconciling with his ability to carry the weight and hold space for many others; the tools he uses to regulate his nervous system and triggers; religious doctrine & Christianity and how it's moved away from the original values of pure love and acceptance; the advent of ‘new religions’; how his relationship with running and his physical body has changed recently; and more.[TIMESTAMPS]5:46 - His childhood19:29 - The thing in his life that changed his perspective 26:52 - How he deals with dis-regulation in the body31:59 - His spiritual path1:05:36 - What religion means to people nowadays1:17:05 - His university path1:19:59 - What is he unlearning1:29:29 - What holding space means to him1:31:31 - Final question 1:35:17 - Where to find him[TODAY'S SPONSORS]Before Company: https://beforecompany.com/discount/CRAFT10 - get 10% off your entire order; one-time use per customer; no expiry dateotō healing: https://www.instagram.com/otohealing/ - email otohealing at gmail.com to get 10% off your initial sound therapy sessionBefore Company: https://beforecompany.com/discount/CRAFT10 - get 10% off your entire order; one-time use per customer; no expiry dateotō healing: https://www.instagram.com/otohealing/ - email otohealing at gmail.com to get 10% off your initial sound therapy session

Reanna Evoy has a playful spirit and imagination that just can’t be replicated or replaced. Her life and work are beautiful reflections of being born creative and free—she cofounded Butter Magazine with friend Kris Blizzard, was art director of Enroute Magazine, creative director of Aldo Shoes and Kit and Ace, and is now cofounder of creative studio Super Bonjour.She was born in Ontario, but the family moved shortly after to Vancouver—her young, fun parents were fans of The Beachcombers and wanted to go west as a result. Reanna flew back to Ontario to spend summers with her Ukrainian grandparents on an organic farm outside of a small town, wearing babushkas and clogs to churn butter, farm, bee keep, build sheds, climb trees, be with animals & break bread with neighbours. As a shy and quiet teen, art was her expression—she painted fruits purple, drew complete fashion collections, and was obsessed with print magazines. Despite artistic leanings, she went into science at university and floundered. She made a switch after a conversation with her mother, who asked Reanna what brought her joy, pointing out that she was an artist at heart. She then went into art history, with a minor in fine art—her goal, at the time, was to become a curator. It was discovering Starbucks that ignited her interest in design—and she soon fell in love with branding. In this conversation, we explore her culturally rich childhood; what she loves about curation and world-building; the things she learned creating a print magazine; her chapter as Aldo's creative director and working with top photographers like Cass Blackbird and Tim Barber; how major shoots for brands are orchestrated; the way spirituality, meditation & breathwork helps Reanna channel creativity; how Super Bonjour finds what makes clients shine through ‘brand therapy’; living joyously as connected humans in a capitalist world; and much more.

Emma Devin is, quite simply, magical. Welcoming and funny, they have a gift for transmuting your energy into a more peaceful state the moment they give you a hug. The cofounder of Brood, Western Canada’s largest doula agency, Emma is trailblazing in the care industry and helping redefine familial structures and what family can mean.They were born in Paris, France, to parents that—as they say—have “itchy feet”. Before high school, they had transferred to 10 different schools and lived in France, the UK, and the east coast of North America. Eventually, they went to high school in Vancouver but a week before graduation, their parents moved onto a boat with a plan of sailing the world. Emma took a gap year with them, sailing down the coast of Mexico, to Hawaii and more, before coming back to be in Victoria and go to university. It didn’t agree with them, however, and they ended up going to Pacific Rim College instead, becoming a certified doula and caregiver. This time of life wove together all the innate parts of themself: a deep love and care for—and creating and welcoming—new families.After this, they worked at a local doula agency providing birth and postpartum care, before buying the business in 2019 and rebranding it to Brood Care Inc. with co-founders Gillian Damborg and Lizzy Karp, who had formerly been two of their clients. In 2021, first year out of the gates, Emma doubled the team size and the company was profitable. Inspired by LGBTQIA2S+ families in their community, Brood has emerged at the forefront of family caregiving, a tech-enabled learning platform and in-person care service for pregnancy, birth, postpartum care and new parenthood with a focus on millennial/Gen-Z families.In this conversation, we explore their nomadic childhood; the difference between a doula and midwife; what the concept of family means to them and how the different systems can look like; how they built their own incredible chosen family; the effects on the pandemic on birth & postpartum care; what emotions they feel when witnessing a baby’s arrival into the world; how a “yes” decision feels in their body; reconciling with their life journey through this work; and much more.[TIMESTAMPS]6:39 - Growing up10:04 - Having a nomadic childhood12:12 - Where their interest in family structure originated13:22 - What living on a ship taught them15:33 - Why they chose to be a doula18:25 - The difference between a doula and a midwife20:49 - What being a doula taught them about themselves and others26:02 - The genesis of Brood35:21 - Care of expecting & postpartum mothers and what needs improvement in the healthcare system43:19 - What family means50:14 - The most important first question to ask clients starting a family52:53 - What brings them joy55:09 - How they feel when a baby is born 57:16 - What a ‘yes’ feel like in their body1:00:18 - A reconciliation journey through being a doula 1:01:19 - What they want their chosen family to know 1:02:40 - Final question1:03:46 - Where to find them[Today's Sponsors]Before Company: https://beforecompany.com/discount/CRAFT10 - get 10% off your entire order; one-time use per customer; no expiry dateotō healing: https://www.instagram.com/otohealing/ - email otohealing at gmail.com to get 10% off your initial sound therapy session
