Painting, Loss & Creativity in Lisbon | Meeting artist Emily Tayman

Painting, Loss & Creativity in Lisbon | Meeting artist Emily Tayman

In this extended, unedited chat, we meet artist Emily Tayman in her Lisbon studio for a candid discussion about art, grief, dreams, creativity and the unpredictable path of building a life as an artist. Emily talks about growing up in Maryland, losing her father when she was just 12 years old, the recurring dream that stayed with her afterwards, and how those experiences continue to shape her work today. The conversation also wanders through Joshua Tree, tattoos, therapy, cigarettes on the stove, wine, pizza, and why embracing imperfection has become central to her painting. This is the full, rough-cut audio from the interview, featuring plenty of stories, laughs and tangents that didn't make the final film. If you enjoy these longer conversations, please consider subscribing and leaving a review. It really helps more people discover the People Of Lisbon podcast. Thank you to our sponsors Moviinn, Practice Portuguese, United Medical Clinic Lisbon, and Fresh Legal & Tax for supporting independent storytelling in Lisbon.

The Astrologer of Lisbon // Martina Anguelova

What can astrology really tell us about who we are? In this extended conversation, Stephen O'Regan sits down with Lisbon-based astrologer Martina Anguelova to explore the world of astrology, birth charts, love, relationships, healing, and self-discovery. Born in Bulgaria, shaped by years in London, and now calling Lisbon home, Martina shares how a nervous breakdown in her early thirties changed the course of her life and ultimately led her to become a professional astrologer. Together they discuss what astrology actually is, whether our birth charts can reveal aspects of our personality, why so many people seek meaning in the stars, and how being truly "seen" can be one of the most powerful experiences we have. They also chat about Lisbon, crystals, reincarnation, oracle cards, dating, favourite places in the city, and even what Martina sees in Stephen's own birth chart. This is the full, unedited conversation from the People Of Lisbon documentary, featuring all the moments that didn't make the final film. People Of Lisbon is a documentary and podcast celebrating the fascinating people who call Lisbon home.

Meet Lisbon's Punk Vegan Queen | Maria de Oliveira Dias

In this episode of People Of Lisbon, we meet Maria de Oliveira Dias - cookbook author, former TV presenter, sustainability advocate, mother, and one of Portugal's most recognizable voices in the vegan movement.Born in Viseu and now living in Lisbon, Maria takes us inside her colourful world of conscious living, vegan food, tattoos, punk spirit, theatre dreams, and the life-changing experience that reshaped her perspective forever.After surviving a coma and being told she had only a 50% chance of survival, Maria emerged with a very different outlook on life - less focused on achievement, more focused on presence, balance, and saying no when necessary.Along the way, we discuss veganism, sustainability, her television show Veggie, her favourite recipes, what she'd change about Lisbon if she were mayor for a day, and why she believes there's nothing difficult about choosing a vegan lifestyle.People of Lisbon is a documentary series exploring the fascinating people who call Lisbon home.  / thelovefood   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHVMZzJWak5wdWJ2YlQxbFRRZFVmT1ExdmE1UXxBQ3Jtc0ttT1NuVUtsQTl4Ykpqc3Q1bFhEb2F1Q1BsaFZOTWxPT0dtRWcyd1JmOEw5alhxbExPQTNQLTZtV2lTVUtWN1R6cHUwRFdIa1NWWUdfX0pRV05EODhkekN0Q3M1Zk9VZmlCc2xkX3NrX0JXYnJFUjlVZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fthelovefood%2F&v=nSYN7Kdtd9Y]Special thanks to our sponsors:Fresh Legal GroupFor tax and legal advice in Portugalhttps://fresh-legal.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHpPdzk5X0NaR0g0NmM5NXUxUGg0bHlpNkRKQXxBQ3Jtc0ttT0R2MDAtc3hndFVoZmV2SXhhVnBqaWE5RlB0NmdUTFZTbTU2ZklMY3F5b01yOUtGRU82UlVKUlVNTEZveENtZW9nRThrNFFHOUhjNUJ6ZzFFc3BubGlkbDVQa2xJaElOWUo3d3RYQmcxX1M2YTVMMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffresh-legal.com%2F&v=nSYN7Kdtd9Y]United Medical Clinic LisbonFast and easy access to medical care for expats, tourists and localshttps://lisbon.umc.clinic/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXl5QUdqNGc2QXpPRWdSRGs2YWpVN3dwSHg2UXxBQ3Jtc0tteG92VmNpRVVsR1d4MkZDdTlVaW5VaVlFZVJqOWkyT0J0V3NzTUYyVHpITTdqQUhyUWFDNUdUaWVUREJNaUFtVEZ5MXJxcF9vUTY5dkJFdXBXTkNnc1NxY09HUjRyOXRPMGdOZ2lxeFBGMWNpamh5VQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Flisbon.umc.clinic%2F&v=nSYN7Kdtd9Y]MoviinnMoving abroad made simplehttps://www.moviinn.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVdlRGk5TExJYk9SQjFNYUtwVkg3bEVxRkR3d3xBQ3Jtc0trTkpSUlkxcGJydjE4M3N4c2lYUFlqeVBMVHRzX3licEdrbmc1TUdsV1ZFVlRQLVZ4Vk1JX2tnX3huM2VyLVF4NmN4dmIzOVRuQkl0NVg5UmtUc0t0bU1oZERPVklLNXBQZm1uY3Y2RDNSNFhsa19UTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moviinn.com%2F&v=nSYN7Kdtd9Y]Practice PortugueseLearn Portuguese from Portugal as it's spoken across the countryhttps://www.practiceportuguese.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTFOQzd3bjNvWnpRRG05TmNTWUxiOW1yUzhfUXxBQ3Jtc0ttcWZPamZheXh2b2Ywckx4VkVFdzB4czhQVXA2Qm9qZnNFdFM2UFBKRFFUS25rN1FSLUl1Z1hDQjU0eU1KWm9CV2tyenM2N2FlU2xfRlVFdWVoRmZ4Tlp0YTI0R2tFdWd0ODZ0NjdxWGFETFF4bHlrMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practiceportuguese.com%2F&v=nSYN7Kdtd9Y]
