Mindfully Thrive
This is the podcast that celebrates the present. The joy in where we are, the journey it’s taken to get here, and the ability to see our greatness for the future. We celebrate female founders, adventure seekers and creative entrepreneurs who are building their dreams alongside raising babies and any other life commitments that can so easily distract us from the path we truly desire. This is a podcast about coming back to who we are in this life and that our dreams, goals and ambitions are valid and possible while also being a loving and present parent.

Ep. 12 Living True to Your Calling and Embracing the Possibilities with Welsh Maker, Amy Swann.
This week, my hugely talented guest is the Welsh Maker, Amy Swann.
Amy works with varied materials and creates beautiful and unexpected delights from Cake decoration, fit for the most exquisite weddings to intricate and delicate heirlooms to be savoured and treasured for generations. Her work is very much centred around creating memories. Amy shares so much about her journey of following her inspiration and leading with love as she stays true to her passions and purpose.
Amy and I share many commonalities yet our lives took very different paths and it's a pleasure to share this conversation on art, motherhood, trusting the process of life and allowing the pleasures to guide you towards the next opportunity.
Don't be fooled into thinking this conversation is not for you, as you are not a teacher, it is in its essence a conversation about navigating life from the vantage point of trust in your own unique truth and allowing life to unfold, without knowing all the details, yet fully embracing the fact that the thing that lights you up, is the thing you were born to do.
How lucky she was to have seen and felt it so clearly, and been granted the gift of parents who fully embraced her desires and now it's her turn to show her kids her way to live authentically and trust the process.
