Wise Up!

In this episode of the Wise Up podcast, I speak with Quinne, an artist and UX researcher living in Northern California.

Quinn shares her deep connection with animals, particularly cats and horses, and how these relationships inspire her creative process. We explore the idea of staying awake while shifting old patterns and mindsets, and how this conscious transformation is reflected in Quinne’s artwork, where horses powerfully embody emotion as energy in motion.

The conversation touches on neurodivergence, with Quinn sharing her experience of being diagnosed with autism later in life. We reflect on our shared and unique experiences navigating the world as neurodivergent individuals, offering insights into how we each approach work, connection, and creativity on the spectrum.

Welcome, I invite you to join me on this audio experience as I chat with Noah, a digital nomad who’s made Barcelona his home. Growing up in Florida, Noah fell in love with the European way of life—think cities designed for people instead of cars and a slower, more connected pace of living.

He’s traveled all over Europe using public transport and has some insightful learnings to share about how those experiences have shaped him. In this episode, we’ll dive into what it’s like to navigate friendships as an adult, how to embrace the magic of travel, and how to find a sense of home no matter where you are.

• Why true healing goes beyond just "fixing" symptoms and why it's really about shifting the deep patterns in both our minds and bodies.

Sadie also shares some beautiful insights about choosing to see the good in the bad, finding gratitude even in tough times, and still doing the things you love—even when you're feeling low. It’s a conversation about embracing life with all its ups and downs and using authenticity as a way to navigate through it.
