You Matter, I Matter

James Ainsworth

You Matter, I Matter is a podcast for honest, human conversations about trust, connection, and what it really means to belong. In a world that often pulls us apart — from ourselves and from each other — this podcast exists as a gentle remembering: that we were never truly separate. Through raw, reflective, and deeply human dialogue, each episode invites you into a space where you don’t have to perform, fix, or strive. Just arrive. Here, we explore what it means to matter — first to ourselves, and then in relationship with others. We speak openly about trust, commitment, growth, loneliness, belonging, and the quiet inner work of becoming more conscious without losing who we are. This isn’t self-help, hustle culture, or quick answers. It’s a slower, more grounded space for reflection, truth, and real connection. A place to feel less alone, more seen, and gently called back to what’s true. Because transformation doesn’t begin with fixing what’s broken. It begins when we show up — in trust, in relationship, and in truth. You matter. I matter. And you’re welcome here. — For those ready to go deeper, I offer live retreats that bring these themes into embodied experience — and soon, private coaching for those seeking more personalised support.

    Can Dancing Sober Be Better Than Clubbing? How Conscious Dance Benefits Your Body, Mind & Soul | DJ Amaya Garcia

    Send us Fan Mail DJ Amaya Garcia is a London-based sound weaver, guiding dancers on journeys where the body, heart and soul move as one.  She plays mystical and fun sets at ecstatic dances, sober raves and conscious festivals across the UK and Mexico, creating spaces where music becomes ceremony and every note is an invitation to awaken. Her sets are at times soft and meditative and at times ecstatic and wild — blending deep earthy rhythms with shimmering electronics, world-inspired melodies and tribal sounds. Each track is a pulse, guiding dancers through emotions, memories and moments of pure presence. From downtempo and medicine music to flamenco-infused beats, house, trance, EDM and psytrance, Amaya’s sound is a dance with the unseen, a celebration of connection and an offering to the ever-present energy that moves us all. In the UK Amaya has played at Buddhafield Festival, Ecstatic Dance Festival UK (2024 & 2025), Sober Rave UK, Rumble Festival, Elevate Festival, Ecstatic Dance London and Ecstatic Dance Brighton amongst others.
