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 rebellion

This 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 trapped

• The myth of “someone will fix it”

• Choosing yourself without doing it all alone

• Why asking the wrong people for advice can derail you

• Taking action before confidence arrives

• Turning pain into power

• Building belief when your reality says otherwise

This 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.

In this episode of Raised on Rebellion, Emma sits down with Lisa Perry — one of the UK music industry’s most respected artist managers and mentors — for a raw, insightful conversation about power, longevity, and what it really takes to build a sustainable career in rock.

Lisa shares her unconventional journey from senior corporate management into the heart of the music industry, where she co-founded Ninelives UK Artist Management before stepping into her role as UK Director at Adam Parsons Entertainment. Since then, she’s been instrumental in managing and developing some of the most iconic names in rock and metal, while fiercely championing emerging talent.

Together, Emma and Lisa talk candidly about:

• What artists actually need from management (and what they don’t)

• Longevity vs hype in the modern music industry

• Navigating the industry as a woman with authority and vision

• Touring, branding, and surviving the digital era without losing your soul

• Why mentorship matters — and how to build careers that last, not just moments

This episode is a must-listen for artists, managers, creatives, and anyone carving their own rebellious path through the music industry.
