Tiffany Richmond | Poppy Galactic, Creativity and Raising Boys in Byron Bay
In this episode, we sit down with Tiffany Richmond - a musician, voice artist and mother of four who’s built a creative life in Byron Bay.
Originally from Sydney, Tiffany moved to Byron ten years ago, drawn by its community and creative energy. A musician at heart, she toured the world with the band Sparkadia before finding her rhythm here. It wasn’t until she was 40 that surfing really clicked, and she shares what it’s like to find that flow, the inclusiveness of Byron’s surf community, and why the ocean keeps her grounded.
Tiffany talks about raising boys, finding independence through voice work, and how using your voice is an act of creativity and connection. She also shares the story behind Poppy Galactic - her kids’ band born from a desire to stay creative as a parent. After releasing an album in 2021, she’s now preparing for its re-launch - bringing music, dance and imagination back to the forefront for a new generation.
