Here's a reminder solo on choosing to connect with the feeling and not holding so tightly onto what it looks like. And choosing the feeling over and over again as much as we can until we close the gap.

Hi friends! Here's a little solo around the gifts of slowing down and a reminder that it's actually safe to slow down. Hope you enjoy and that you find pockets of slowing down too. Big hug!! xx Sophie

I love this episode !!!! We have Piera Gelardi back on the show for her second round talking all things play and her debut book, The Playful Way: Creativity, Connection and Joy Through Everyday Moments of Play. We're talking about how/why we forget our playful nature and how to slowly slowly return, we're talking cringe, vulnerability, how to lead with authenticity and so much more.

I'm joined by Tonya Papanikolov, founder of Rainbo, for a conversation on visibility, creativity, slowing down, building with integrity, and learning to trust yourself through every season of growth. We talk about the fear of being seen, what happens when life calls you inward, the tension between freedom and responsibility, feminine vs. masculine energy in business, aging, beauty, Human Design, and how to know when to stay the course vs. pivot. This felt less like an interview and more like two projectors having a very honest conversation about what it means to build a life and business that actually feels true.

I'm joined by the powerful and magical force that is Florencia Fridman, co-founder of Cacao Laboratory (my favorite cacao brand that has changed my life) and cacao guide/educator. In this episode we're talking about the medicine of cacao and working with the plant to help heal and open your heart, calibrating to new levels of peace, learning to receive (why is this so hard lol?), how shifting from caffeine to cacao has helped me so much with creating from a grounded place and we get into all things building an intentional and rooted brand while also thinking of scaling to serve the masses. A very complete AI episode <3 Love love it.

This week's episode is with Anabel Gonzalez, founder of the recently launched hyper intentional pre, pro and post biotic brand called Good Bacteria. Anabel founded Good Bacteria after a profound postpartum recovery that showed her how deeply gut health shapes healing. Her work bridges science, design, and lived experience to explore how reconnecting with our bodies and our environment can help restore balance, vitality, and a healthy gut.

Topics: Navigating Heartbreak, The Creative Process, Pivoting, Movement and Taking Up Space

We have Teya Kepila on the show also known as @theturmerictimes on social and she is just such a ray of light. Teya is an incredibly talented ceramicist and artist based in Brooklyn who I highly highly recommend following if you love nourishing, regulated content which is quite rare these days. I've been following her work for a few years now and you know when someone online just really resonates with your soul? That is exactly how I've felt about her and having this conversation solidified that resonance so much more.

In this episode we are chatting about heartbreak, body acceptance, shifting identities, movement, how to find and protect the spark that makes you come alive, we get into her creative process and about giving yourself permission to be an artist. I deeply deeply enjoyed this conversation and hope you do too.
