How often do you think about what you spend your time looking at? Are you stuck in a mindless scroll? Me too. In this episode, I talk about how being present and aware of my surroundings has positively impacted me and my creativity, and how the simple act of looking up can change the way we think.

welcome to pensive.podcast.

In this episode I talk about my creative journey, living in Japan and why I created pensive. I went from blogging about my personal style to running a fashion magazine, and quickly learning that I had taken on way more responsibility than I had bargained for. Through some rough patches and a lot of major learning curves, I ended up exactly where I needed to be.
