Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. Today, we get inspired by multidisciplinary creative, Samantha Wills.

When standing at the crossroads of life, which path will you take?

Samantha is a writer, creator, speaker and educator whose courage and creativity is truly inspiring. Having transitioned from running one of Australia's best-known accessories brands, Samantha redefined her path to close her self-titled business to step into her deeper calling. Her story, told with such clarity and grace, offers a window into the heart of a true artist. From her relationship with creativity and spirituality, to the intricate dance between personal branding and personal growth, I found speaking with Samantha so inspiring, I think you will too.

"I'm okay with my deepest, darkest things now going out into the world. They will find who they meant to find, and now it's our story."

- Samantha Wills
