Entrepreneur, artist and “chronic creative” Emily Hazell joins host Liz Karamavros to talk about building Melbourne’s iconic happiness café Serotonin, burning out, and rebuilding life and business around cycles, spirituality and nervous-system health. They dive into using your menstrual cycle as a productivity tool, the spiritual side of entrepreneurship, navigating patriarchy and the manosphere, and designing spaces that make your body feel safe. Emily shares biohacking practices, her new project Matriarch, and her legacy advice for creatives: fail fast, trust your intuition, and go again.
