First, we welcome Jonathan “Ninja Dan” St. Rose, a cultural icon in Saint Lucia renowned for his electrifying performances and commitment to community empowerment through music and mentorship. After a life-altering incarceration in 2009 and subsequent release in 2017, Ninja Dan has dedicated himself to rehabilitation and service, delivering training across the island in Emotional Intelligence, Conflict Management, and Spiritual Development. Now, as he prepares to return to the Power and Groovy Soca Monarch stages for Carnival 2025, he brings a renewed spirit and vision to elevate Saint Lucian performance art.

Joining him is Peterson Stewart, a 31-year-old from Castries who, after serving a three-year prison sentence for gang-related activities, found a new path through the C-REP programme and mentorship from Ninja Dan. Peterson shares his journey of personal growth, focusing on rebuilding his life and becoming a positive, contributing member of society.

In our "Under the Mango Tree" segment, Ninja Dan delights us with a performance of his latest track, "Juicy Mango," adding a flavorful twist to the episode. We also celebrate Chantal's 52nd birthday, while Fiona and Sherween share their excitement about the upcoming Saint Lucia Carnival 2025, planning to bring the vibrant Voukoum band from Guadeloupe to the festivities.

In this heartfelt episode, our hosts delve into the complex terrain of forgiveness. They candidly share personal experiences, discussing the challenges of forgiving those who've caused pain, identifying their non-negotiable boundaries, and exploring the conscious decisions to withhold forgiveness in certain situations. The conversation also turns inward, examining the often more daunting task of self-forgiveness—unpacking why it's so difficult to absolve ourselves for choices made during vulnerable moments. Join us for an introspective journey into the multifaceted nature of forgiveness and the paths toward healing.

In this vibrant episode of The *(Relate)able Podcast, hosts Sherween and Fiona embark on an unforgettable journey to Guadeloupe to immerse themselves in the island's renowned Carnival. Captivated by the profound spiritual essence of the traditional masquerade ("mas"), they share their personal experiences and reflections. Sherween candidly discusses the physical challenges she faced, having underestimated the demands of the lively marches, while Fiona's dedicated training regimen paid off, allowing her to fully embrace each day's festivities. Both hosts have returned with a deep admiration and love for Guadeloupe's rich cultural heritage. In our "Under the Mango Tree" segment, listeners are treated to the enchanting sounds of the conch shell and drumming by the VIM mas band.

Meanwhile, Chantal commemorates her 3-year "Return-a-versary" since moving back to Nevis, offering insights into her experiences at The Golden Rock Inn Hotel and Fiona tries to gaslight Sherween into coming to the North to celebrate Saint Lucia’s 46th Independence. Our conversation takes a nostalgic turn as we delve into song lyrics that have profoundly impacted our lives. Each host reveals the tracks that resonate deeply with them, exploring the stories and emotions behind these selections.

This week Chantal, Sherween, and Fiona share their wish lists of ‘things they wish they knew before moving home to the Caribbean’. They discuss the challenges of reconnecting with friends, the bureaucracy, and cultural differences, such as homophobia and misogyny. Despite these challenges, our ladies find joy in their reconnection to the Caribbean - its beauty and community. Fiona is currently in Guadeloupe, enjoying the cultural immersion and local cuisine, Sherween is in St Lucia basking in the glow of having both her daughters visit back to back and Chantal is about to wrap up her first Artist Development programme in Nevis.

This week, we’re sharing a special episode that was recorded back in June—so some of the topics might feel a bit outdated!

In this Lost (and now found) episode, we dive into the issue of environmental irresponsibility and littering in Saint Lucia, stressing the importance of both personal and community responsibility in protecting the island’s natural beauty. We also open up about our own battles with procrastination and balancing work and life, while reflecting on how we celebrate Caribbean culture and heritage. This conversation reminds us of the need for action on environmental issues, the importance of self-care, and the courage it takes to truly embrace our cultural identity.

No Under The Mango Tree segment this week, but don’t forget—we’re heading to Dominica with Les Bohèmes for a workshop from October 27th to November 3rd, and we’ll also be at the WATO festival on November 2nd! Come and join the fun!

Episode 19

We know we’ve been away for a bit, but that just means we have so much to share!

Chantal calls it a mix of mayhem and magic, Sherween is now an honorary Nevisian after her whirlwind trip to Nevis this summer, and Fiona is sticking to her boundaries while making sure her happiness stays a priority.

Our family has grown, y’all! We’re excited to introduce our new manager, BreAnna Holmes, to the team. Her energy and love for the podcast really stood out, and we can’t wait to work with her.

This summer brought up some important issues for Sherween, and she’s realizing she needs to put her health first. Plus, she’s gearing up to launch her new podcast, “High Times with Sherween.” We all played mas this year—Fiona and Sherween went Ole’ Mas as “Helen of the Malpwops” in Saint Lucia, and then Fiona went on to have an amazing time playing mas at Notting Hill! Chantal made waves by launching her troupe for Culturama 50, called “The Light,” which looked incredible on the road, all while curating and launching "Bloom Where You’re Planted 2024."

Under the mango tree, we’re sharing some sounds of our summer adventures. We’re also heading to Dominica with Les Bohèmes to facilitate a workshop, and you’ve got 24 hours to book with the code RELATABLE for a sweet 20% off. We’ll also be attending the WATO festival, so come join us!

Episode 12

It's Carnival Season, everyone! In February, all three hosts participated in carnival celebrations from different islands. Therefore, we found it appropriate to engage in a discussion with one of Saint Lucia’s Cultural Icons, Dr. Adrian Augier, regarding the evolution of carnival from its traditional roots towards a more commercialized direction. We explore how both aspects coexist, each depending on the other for survival, while striving to maintain the authentic essence of what carnival signifies to us.

This week, Under The Mango Tree returns, transporting you to Martinique carnival, where you can immerse yourself in the chants of "Libérez le siwo" (Liberate the Siwo) and the rhythmic drumbeats that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and spiritual connection to our ancestors.

Lark Ambris - LinkedIn

Lark’s professional journey began on Wall Street where she carved out a successful career as a finance professional. Recognition that she was on the brink of Burnout led her to make a pivotal decision – to leave the bustling world of finance and embark on a life-changing adventure with the United States Peace Corps in Africa. This experience stirred her latent passion for making a positive impact on the world.

Fast forward a decade and Lark found herself drawn once again to her Caribbean roots, where she decided to re-establish her presence fully. It has been a journey of personal evolution, honing her skills as an entrepreneur and as a mindset coach. Her particular area of focus is 43-58 year olds, helping them to navigate the challenges of re-establishing their identity and reinventing themselves.

Armed with a degree in Accounting, certification as a Business Coach and a wealth of lived experiences, Lark brings a unique perspective to her coaching practice. She leverages her financial background to guide clients through both practical and mindset shifts. Currently on the path to becoming a Certified Positive Intelligence

Coach Lark is dedicated to helping her clients cultivate their mental resilience needed to thrive in every aspect of their lives. Ultimately, her mission is to bring everyone into alignment with their best selves, their “sage selves” and help them lead happier, more productive lives and foster better relationships.

Blaxodus, exodus, blaxit, whatever you wanna call it, there has been a movement taking place since the start of the pandemonium. Like Bob Marley said its movement of Jah people and we are leaving Babylon in droves! This week we're finally discussing why the big move with Sherween and Chantal, we speak about expectations verses reality, and the reasons why island life just may not be for everyone. Fiona poses a really poignant question regarding how we treat each other, and we speak about ways the JCB's (thanks @drnutmeg) can help with change whilst not stepping on anyone's toes.

Of course, there's lots of laughs as usual, and one of our hosts is just bursting with joy for some amazing projects coming up! Also, our *(Relate)able Jumpers are back on sale and you can grab yours here *(Relate)able Jumper (presswheel.co.uk)

Lastly please feel free to get in touch with us via email on relateablepodcast@gmail.com with your relatable questions or just to say hey y'all!

Hey y'all, so this week we decided to share some of our coping mechanisms for when life decides to throw everything at us (it seems to be doing a lot of that lately wooochild...) Again, stemming from our group chat moans, crying sessions and just plain ole gripes, we share some tips on what works best for us to ensure we make it through these tough times.

There's no Under the Mango Tree this week as we wanted to keep it short and sweet, so do enjoy, and let us know what works for you when life is life-ing!!

We told y'all we were coming bigger and better this season, and I think we just levelled up with this dope special guest!!!

This week we had a chat with the adorable Brandon Jay McLaren and it was amazing!

We had our first *(Relate)able EXCLUSIVE, Brandon speaks to us about his acting journey over the years, and how he's been able to stay true to his Caribbean roots. It really is a special episode y'all, so much so there's no "Under The Mango Tree". There's lots of wonderful laughs as usual, and I can say The *(Relate)able crew has gained a new Island Friend! Enjoy...

We have just gone and changed things up this week loves!

We were honoured to have a lovely conversation Dr Ranmalie Jayawardana where we discussed all the amazing work that's taking place in Liverpool with The International Slavery Museum and the Waterfront Transformation Project. With a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm, Dr Jayawardana beautifully informs us of the project's undertakings and things we should be looking out for.

Of course, our hosts were taken aback by all the wonderfulness taking place to bring the stories of the Transatlantic Slave Trade to light, and Under the Mango Tree gets serenaded by a breakdown of one of the current exhibits 'Jupiter's Song'

We have come to the end of the trilogy y'all! If like our hosts you've taken anything from these amazingly eye opening, upfront and honest conversations then please let us know your thoughts. In this final part we immersed ourselves into how we define pleasure, and what it means to us. As usual there's lots of laughter and we somehow end up in Antigua for Under the Mango Tree? go figure lol...

Hope you've enjoyed this trilogy as much as we did!!

Oh, hello October, and what wonderful surprises will you be bringing this month? Well one thing for sure is this trilogy is delivering all the juicy revelations!

Our hosts promised transparency, honesty and openness which they are sticking to (with some drop in's by Finola). Chantal schools us on the vast sexuality spectrum, and Sherween deliberately chooses to miss the memo...go figure!

Fiona teases us with a beautiful poem for Under the Mango Tree, and its pure nonstop laughs throughout as usual.

This week we speak about the things we've learnt about ourselves over the summer and we spent a little time reflecting on all the plot twists as well as all the things we want to delve into this autumn. Bad Gyal Fifi comes out and its love all around for our darling Chantal.

We find out what it was like growing up with this iconic politician as a father, his little quirks, and what was important to him as a dad. Fiona addresses how she feels about her dad no longer being with us, and how he has moulded her to be the woman she is today.

It’s another heartfelt episode which we do hope you enjoy.
