Episode Overview

In this episode of the Inspired Founders Podcast, Priscilla Ann sits down with entrepreneur, creative visionary, and founder Amy Shaw to explore the powerful intersection between entrepreneurship, spirituality, and authentic living.

Amy shares her remarkable journey from building a successful career in the fashion industry to undergoing a profound personal transformation that reshaped her life and business. From working her way up in major fashion brands to launching and scaling her own fashion label Frowtribe, Amy built a thriving career without following a traditional path.

However, a deep spiritual awakening led her to dismantle the life she had built—including selling her business and leaving her marriage—to pursue a path that was fully aligned with her authentic self.

Today, Amy leads Lurve, a spiritual creative agency and wellness platform that helps individuals connect with their purpose, personal brand, and soul-led business.
