In this episode, we sit down with Jodi Anne Roberts—drummer, mum, and former student—who shares her journey of picking up the sticks in her 20's and finding joy in the challenge. Jodi talks about juggling multiple roles, from family life to performing in local bands, and how drumming has become her space for growth, creativity, and courage. With no grand ambitions for fame, Jodi shows that fulfilment comes from simply showing up, pushing your limits, and giving it your all.
