In this episode Dre welcomes actor, writer, director, and activist Saffron Burrows for a deep and honest conversation about what we inherit, what we unlearn, and what we choose to pass down.

Together they explore their activist upbringings, early brushes with adult realities, and the ongoing work of re-parenting yourself while raising children of your own. From Saffron’s teenage years navigating the fashion world with feminist clarity, to her belief in storytelling as a tool for collective awakening, this episode moves through identity, art, motherhood, and the quiet courage of telling your story on your own terms.

They reflect on the contradictions of being wise beyond your years, yet unprotected in crucial ways—and how those early experiences continue to shape how they parent, create, and show up in the world.

This conversation is about essence, safety, legacy, and love. It’s about rewriting the past while raising the future.

Drop The Script: Dancing Hands and The Art of Holding Space with Actress, Producer and Healer, Jane Sibbett

1 Recommendations

In this episode, Dre is joined by actress, writer, and sacred space-holder Jane Sibbett, for a powerful conversation on goddess circles, grief rituals, and the unexpected ways our gifts awaken.

Jane shares the story of how she was first called to host a goddess circle as a new mom, with no idea what it meant but an undeniable “yes” in her bones. That night changed her life. Since then, she’s been devoted to circling, witnessing, and channeling healing through what she now calls “Dancing Hands”—a divine energy transmission that flows through her hands like a prayer in motion.

Together, Dre and Jane explore the witch wound, the healing power of women’s voices, and what happens when we stop performing and start simply being. They talk about grief, ego, trust, miracles, and the moment Jane was lovingly told: “Drop the script.”

Whether you’re curious about the origins of circling, walking through loss, or wondering how your gifts want to be used—this episode will stir something deep in your spirit.
