Lisa Newport : Funky Diva Vibes

If you'd told me 12 years ago I'd be standing on stages with a giant cardboard sausage machine, waving chorizo around and talking about 'unsausaging', I'd have thought you'd lost the plot.

But here we are.

I'm Lisa Newport, creator of Funky Diva Vibes® and the Sausage Machine of Conformity.

I talk about the tiny, ordinary ways we get squished by invisible rules about how we're supposed to dress, behave, speak, lead, age and live. Because tiny squishes become ordinary. And ordinary can become identity.

My Spot. Split. Sizzle. approach is about noticing where you've been squished, splitting from the shoulds and sizzling as yourself.

Expect stories, humour, clothes, creativity, ridiculous props and plenty of "Shit, I do that!" moments.

Because Unsausaging isn't a destination. It's a practice.

You don't graduate from being squished. You just get better at spotting when you're drifting towards the Sausage Machine.

Welcome to your Funky Diva era.
