My can’t miss podcast is…
I like listening to Tara Brach, a Buddhist meditation teacher and psychologist, and I love listening to Gabor Mate a Canadian physician.
The book I’m currently reading is…
The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. It is about the South Coast West path walk in England that starts in Somerset and ends in Devon and follows the whole of the Cornish coastline. It takes seven weeks to walk and we’ve done the first five days and plan on finishing the walk in sections before our son turns 18.
My favourite place for a getaway is…
Anywhere in nature with patchy WIFI is where I feel the most relaxed. A beach with a pohutukawa for some dappled shade, on top of a snowy peak with dramatic views or in the comfort of forest.
My morning cuppa is…
A lemon water – half lemon, followed by cold water so that the nutrients are not killed by the hot water.
A movie I think everyone should see is… because…
Anything by David Attenborough because he reminds us of the magic that exists in the natural world and anything by Yorgos Lanthimos because he reminds us that humans are complex creatures.
The mantra I live by…
“I am very grateful for the life I have”. The gratitude has only poured into my life after I ditched all social media two years ago.
My wish for the future of fashion is…
To be fully circular, with zero waste and in tune with the natural world.
My favourite flowers are…
Any wildflower seasonal combination. I’m flower obsessed and grow flowers and have loved making bunches since I was a little child from whatever I can find on the side of the road.
If there was one thing I had the power in the world to change it would be…
For governments to be brave and implement stronger laws that would really shift the dial in regards to climate change.
My happy place is…
With my girlfriends over dinner, a walk or a sauna. My girlfriends nurture me and give me joy all at the same time.
