Have you been putting off a burning desire? Are you afraid of being judged negatively, of not being "good enough?" My guest today is the thoughtful, eccentric and utterly creative accordion player, street performer and world-travelling puppeteer Sophie Crafts, of Sophie's Smokin' Squeezebox. We speak about her journey into street performance, the massively understated worth of getting oneself out there messily, imperfectly and quickly, and Sophie introduces me to the hilarious and highly useful theory of being a First Farter. (Yes, you heard that right. No, it isn't a typo.) She also shares a personal story about her wake-up moment to race relations, white privilege, and taking intentional action. I hope you can find a little tidbit of wisdom just for you right here on The Rayna Sense. Featuring the song Stayin' Alive with Sophie on accordion and her marionette Sylvie on bells and percussion.
