Welcome to the show
Mindful Makers is born out of admiration, curiosity and the desire to shine a light on people creating with intention, purpose and honesty in our modern world.
​
In each episode I’ll be sitting with creators, entrepreneurs, artists and brands that are run by real people for real people. Together we will unpack how they mindfully create and move in each of their worlds and as a result enhance the lives of others.
