About this podcast
Like a Pearl is a podcast about creativity—not just as a career or a talent, but as a way of being in the world. Hosted by Daphne Roubini, a jazz vocalist, songwriter, intuitive healer, and longtime champion of creative living, the show explores how we discover, lose, and reclaim our creative voice through the ebb and flow of life. Through rich, revealing guest conversations, Daphne delves into the many dimensions of creative life across the arts, business, and beyond. Drawing from her own experience navigating music, entrepreneurship, healing, and reinvention, she brings warmth, depth, and a touch of humour to each exchange. Guests include both celebrated leaders and emerging voices—artists, thinkers, makers, and visionaries who are shaping culture in their own way. The name Like a Pearl was inspired by the idea that creativity—like a pearl—is formed in layers, often out of friction, time, and deep internal work. It reminds us that the most luminous parts of ourselves are often born from discomfort and persistence, shaped slowly into something rare and beautiful. This podcast is for the artist and the dreamer, the professional and the seeker, the person who once made something and stopped, or the one who feels the tug to start again. It’s for anyone who has ever longed to express themselves more fully and needed a gentle space to explore what that could mean. Topics include: Finding your voice again after burnout or silence Living a creative life outside of the traditional “success” models Navigating reinvention in midlife Artistic resistance, self-doubt, and fear Music, songwriting, performance, and the creative process The intersection of art and healing How to build a life that supports your creativity—emotionally, spiritually, and practically Stories of artists, thinkers, and makers who have followed an unconventional path Whether you're sipping tea in the morning sun or walking through the city at dusk, Like a Pearl offers a moment of resonance—a reminder that your creativity is not gone, just waiting. And that it’s never too late to begin again. This podcast doesn’t rush, doesn’t preach, and doesn’t pretend to have all the answers—but it will help you remember the ones you already hold inside.
