    Confessions of a Hollywood Composer: Richard Gibbs on Music, Loss & Legacy

    A Hollywood composer loses his home in the Woolsey Fire… but the studio where legends recorded is still standing. What does it mean to spend a lifetime creating music… and then lose everything around you—while the one place that holds it all… remains? In this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, we sit down with legendary Hollywood composer Richard Gibbs—a musician, storyteller, surfer, and family man whose work has shaped the emotional landscape of film and television for decades. Richard is best known for composing music for films like Say Anything, Dr. Dolittle, and Queen of the Damned, creating soundtracks that have reached millions around the world. But his story goes far beyond Hollywood. As the founder of the iconic Woodshed Recording Studio in Malibu, Richard has built a creative sanctuary where world-renowned artists have come to record and collaborate. Musicians and bands such as Barbra Streisand, Coldplay, P!nk, and Dua Lipa have all worked out of the Woodshed—making it one of Malibu’s most quietly influential music spaces. Before his film career, Richard was also part of the influential band Oingo Boingo, alongside Danny Elfman, and has remained connected to the evolution of modern music—including his ties to bands like Korn, bridging worlds between orchestral scoring and alternative sound. But this conversation goes deeper. We talk about: -The reality of building a career in Hollywood—and the struggles along the way -The Woolsey Fire, where Richard lost his home—and why his beloved Woodshed Recording Studio, surrounded by destruction, did not burn -What that experience taught him about loss, rebuilding, and what truly matters in life -The power of community, and why he started the Composer Breakfast Club in Malibu -His latest passion project, the nonprofit Armory of Harmony, which transforms materials from confiscated guns into musical instruments for high school students—turning destruction into creativity and purpose This episode is about more than music. It’s about resilience, meaning, and the unexpected ways life shapes us. ✨ A story of loss, survival, creativity, and giving back.

    Confessions of a Fashion Alchemist | Robin Brown (Magnolia Pearl): From Darkness to Light

    In this powerful episode of Confessions at the Cabana, host Zoe Scott sits down with Robin Brown — artist, fashion designer, author, clown, and founder of Magnolia Pearl — for a deeply moving conversation about forgiveness, creativity, and transformation. Robin shares her extraordinary life story, shaped by a childhood marked by addiction, mental illness, and profound trauma. Raised by parents who struggled with drug addiction, and surviving an attempted act of violence by her mother, Robin chose a path rarely spoken about with such honesty: radical forgiveness. Rather than living in hatred, she speaks openly about love, compassion, and the freedom that comes from releasing resentment. At the heart of this episode is Robin’s ability to alchemize darkness into light. Through her work in fashion, art, storytelling, and the sacred art of clowning, she reveals how creativity became both refuge and medicine — a way to transform pain into beauty and suffering into meaning. Her work with Magnolia Pearl reflects this philosophy, weaving imperfection, tenderness, and soul into every piece. This conversation is inspired by Robin’s autobiographical book, Glitter Saints, a raw and poetic memoir that explores survival, grace, and the power of imagination as a healing force. This episode of Confessions at the Cabana is a soulful exploration of forgiveness, resilience, and the courage to live with an open heart. It’s a must-listen for those interested in art and fashion as healing, personal transformation, trauma recovery, and stories that remind us light can emerge from even the darkest places. 🎧 Listen, subscribe, and follow Confessions at the Cabana for intimate conversations with artists, creatives, and cultural voices who have transformed their lives — and their pain — into purpose. https://magnoliapearl.com/ Host/Producer: Zoe Scott Guest: Robin Brown Producer/Editor: Dajana Mitchell

    Confessions of a Hollywood Therapist - How to Manifest What You Want in 2026

    Confessions of a Hollywood Therapist How to Manifest What You Want in 2026 People often say, “You have to go see Johnny O.” But the better question is: why does his work actually work? In this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, host Zoe Scott sits down with Johnny O’Callaghan, founder of The Healing Bar Studio in the Hollywood Hills, to explore what it really takes to heal, move forward, and manifest what you want — especially as we step into 2026. Johnny’s work lives at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and lived experience. He doesn’t lead with labels or diagnoses — he leads with results. As he puts it, he works on both “the goal line and the soul line,” helping people heal what’s underneath so life can finally move forward. After personally experiencing nearly every healing modality available, and becoming a father through adoption in Uganda, Johnny returned to school and earned a master’s degree in psychology with a specialization in spirituality.  At The Healing Bar, Johnny works with high-performing clients — including those in Hollywood — who feel stuck, disconnected, or off their path, even when they “have it all.” His approach integrates: Psychotherapy modalities Mindfulness and spiritual psychology Hypnosis and breathwork Coaching and somatic awareness. In this conversation, Johnny shares practical tools he uses with his Hollywood clients to  manifest from an aligned, grounded place — not survival mode. If you’ve been vision-boarding, setting intentions, and “doing the work” but still feel stuck, this episode may reveal what’s been missing.
