In this episode I dive into my own story of why and how I started my gender-inclusive jewellery brand. I explain a bit about my background, of having grown up in South Africa and why equality is so important to me. I touch on how not following your dreams can lead to burn out, and how reconnecting with yourself can pull you out of it.

My aim with this podcast is to counteract hatred & prejudice, by exploring the elemental forces and themes which connect us as human beings, such as: Love, Freedom, Equality, and Self-Expression. These ideas carry the power of connection. I look forward to diving deeper into these topics in the upcoming episodes, as well as exploring their manifestation in dance, art, music ancient symbols, and corageous personal stories of daring to be yourself. We all have the right to feel empowered and strong, but also soft, connected and gentle. That is what this podcast and my jewellery brand aim to promote; embracing and celebrating all sides of yourself - irrespective of gender or orientation. It's just a human thing!
