What happens when you trust your gut, follow your creative instincts, and give yourself permission to do things your own way?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with celebrated designer and author Leanne Ford to talk about her unconventional path from fashion to interiors, the story behind her book The Slow Down, and why she’s more interested in how a space feels than following trends.

Leanne opens up about embracing imperfection, honouring intuition, and designing homes that tell a story — including her own historic home in Pennsylvania.

We explore the messy magic of creativity, the push-pull between art and business, and why protecting your energy is one of the most important decisions you can make.

I wanted to bring this episode back because it doesn’t matter if you're a creative at heart or simply curious about living with more intention, this episode is a joyful reminder to trust yourself — and create the life and spaces that feel most like you.
