TUNE IN
TUNE OUT
Kate aka Janice Von Jazzhausen has been entertaining since she could walk ‘n’ talk…
From a young age, I have always been obsessed with music, singing, and performing. My college years were spent studying Performing Arts and Dance, which led to working overseas for entertainment teams in holiday resorts. When I returned to the UK, I entered the world of travel sales, which gave me incredible opportunities to travel the world! During this time, I kept my hand in doing pub gigs, local performances, and the odd bit of am-dram, daaaaarrrrlling…!
Fast forward a couple of decades and, after becoming a mum to my son, life became very hectic—my main focus was, of course, being the best mama I could be. Like many people since Covid, I have a story to tell, and I am no different.
Between a marriage breakup, a global pandemic, homeschooling, and several house moves, my mental and physical health began to decline and take its toll.
It is only now, five years down the line, that I look back in sheer disbelief that I actually survived the dumpster fire that became my life—but in absolute bloody awe, if I’m honest, that my friends are still, quite frankly, my friends! With life-altering health conditions, I have had to find alternative ways to support my body, mind, and spirit that don’t just involve poppin’ pills. That said, the hardest and most painful part of my life has actually led me to where I am today…
Not only do I still have the most incredible friends and family, but I have also built new connections and friendships. I’ve joined and been part of powerful and strengthening communities, introduced to me and shared by incredible women who have grown to be close friends. They pretty much feel like home and family when I’m around them.
So, long story short… without the shit, there would be no show!
Welcome to The Rude Awakening….
Always with love,

P.S. If you are easily offended, be aware that the show is likely to be a bit sweary… quite simply because I cannot control my brain before engaging my mouth! So take this as my constant and ongoing apology 😉
I wanted a space not just to share but also to learn more about the incredible people out there making a difference—finding alternative ways of providing care or therapies that don’t always involve pumping our bodies full of prescription meds. To find our self-worth again, without needing approval or gratification from anyone else.
Connect with a community of women providing services, support, holistic alternatives, and therapies that can enhance, relax, encourage, and support this next stage in our lives as women past the age of 40… but also welcoming those still enveloped in youth, who we can educate in later years—passing down the knowledge we didn’t receive. A space for women, parents, and partners in their 20s and 30s to grow a community that uplifts, supports, and, most importantly, remains free of judgement.
The topics I will cover will be far and wide—not just to grow my thirst for knowledge but to remind you that if you are struggling with something in life, if you feel like you’ve hit your wits’ end… hey, do you know what? You are NOT alone.
This will be a safe place to grow and have 1 hour and 30 minutes to yourself—listen live or simply lock yourself in the bathroom with a massive chocolate bar and pretend you’re cleaning so no one disturbs you! Yes, I completely understand!
