In this solo episode, Emma Mann — founder of No Fixed Abode of London — shares the real story of rebuilding her life from rock bottom and turning pain into power.From surviving instability and burnout to building an independent fashion brand rooted in rebellion, non-conformity, music, and survival, Emma talks honestly about what it takes to keep going when everything falls apart.No Fixed Abode of London grew out of resilience, creativity, and deep connections with the global rock, metal, and punk music community — worn and supported by artists and creatives who live outside the mainstream.This episode isn’t about overnight success. It’s about rebuilding self-trust, navigating trauma, financial pressure, and exhaustion, and choosing to rise when no one is coming to save you.In this episode, we explore:– Rebuilding your life from rock bottom– Turning pain into power and purpose– Burnout, trauma, and emotional resilience– Building No Fixed Abode of London against the odds– Finding identity, community, and strength through music and rebellionThis is a raw conversation about survival, creativity, and becoming who you are meant to be — even when the road is brutal.If you’re rebuilding, reinventing yourself, or quietly fighting your way back — this one’s for you.

No one is coming to save you — and that’s not bad news.In this raw, unfiltered solo episode of Raised on Rebellion, I talk about the moment most of us eventually face: realising that waiting for rescue, permission, confidence, money, or the “right time” keeps us stuck.This isn’t about blame.It’s about agency.I share why taking responsibility is the turning point — not manifestation, not motivation, not someone else stepping in. If no one is coming, it means you stop outsourcing your power. You decide. You move. You act — even when it’s messy, uncomfortable, or terrifying.We talk about:Why waiting keeps people trappedThe myth of “someone will fix it”Choosing yourself without doing it all aloneWhy asking the wrong people for advice can derail youTaking action before confidence arrivesTurning pain into powerBuilding belief when your reality says otherwiseThis episode is for anyone who’s tired, overwhelmed, broke, grieving, rebuilding, or quietly holding it together — and needs to hear the truth without sugar-coating.If it helps you get through, then it’s done its job.

Ace - Skunk Anansie — Survival, Sound & Staying Human in the Music IndustryMusic doesn’t save you.It reveals you.And if you survive long enough, it tells the truth.In this episode of Raised on Rebellion, I sit down with Ace, guitarist of Skunk Anansie — one of the UK’s most influential, politically charged, and uncompromising bands.This isn’t a nostalgia trip.And it’s not a polished press interview.It’s a raw, honest conversation about longevity, identity, and the emotional cost of building a life in music — and surviving it without losing yourself.We talk about:What it really takes to stay in a band for decadesThe quiet comedown after the noise fadesIdentity beyond the stageEgo, burnout, and reinventionWhy rebellion isn’t about shouting — it’s about enduranceIt’s a survival story with guitars in the background.Raised on Rebellion exists because I’m tired of surface-level success stories — the overnight myths, the sanitised narratives, the trauma repackaged without truth.This podcast is about what it actually costs to build a creative life — especially if you didn’t come from privilege, safety nets, or industry approval.Skunk Anansie never asked for permission:They were loud when silence was saferPolitical when neutrality was expectedUnapologetic when compliance was rewardedThat refusal shaped everything — including the price.Ace is known globally as the guitarist of Skunk Anansie, but what interested me wasn’t the back catalogue or accolades.It was longevity.The ability to walk away, return, evolve, and stay grounded in an industry that chews people up and rewards excess.In this episode, Ace speaks openly about:The pressure of relevanceLife when the band is your identityThe internal negotiations artists make just to keep goingWhat changes when you stop proving yourselfThere’s no rockstar posturing here.Just honesty.One of the core themes of this conversation is the lie we’re sold about success.That once you “make it”, you’re safe, fulfilled, complete.The truth is more complex.Success doesn’t erase insecurity — it just gives it a bigger stage.Ace talks candidly about:Emotional comedowns after touringThe weight of expectationHow easy it is to lose yourself inside the machineThis isn’t bitterness.It’s clarity.We’re living in a time where:Burnout is normalisedAuthenticity is marketedRebellion is reduced to aestheticsRaised on Rebellion is about substance, not style.This conversation is a reminder that:You don’t have to destroy yourself to be meaningfulYou don’t have to stay angry to stay relevantYou don’t have to be loud to be powerfulSometimes the most radical thing you can do is stay.Stay curious.Stay honest.Stay human.Stay Rebellious.Guest: Ace (Skunk Anansie)Host: Emma MannPodcast: Raised on RebellionTheme: Music.
