Intimacy, Aliveness & Co-Creating with your Work

2026/09/30

I recorded this one on an afternoon walk in Wrocław under glorious trees, near the end of four weeks travelling around Poland.In this episode, I explore two essences that have been deeply alive for me lately, intimacy and aliveness, and why I believe they are missing from so many conversations about regeneration, change-work and creativity.So much of how we create has been shaped by control, urgency and extraction, leaving us and our work depleted.And we can’t create regenerative worlds from this

Regeneration Has To Also Be Within

Episode Description:Here’s what the fashion-textiles industry doesn’t want to admit: It’s not just extracting from the Earth and communities. It’s also extracting from you.After burning out multiple times in this industry, I have understood: We cannot create regenerative systems from an extractive state.In this episode, I share why over so many fashion-textile and sustainability professionals are burning out, and what I’ve learned about inner regeneration through my journey and after speaking to

🎧 Listen on: Apple Podcasts | SpotifyIn this week’s podcast, I’m setting the context for all that we are exploring here in more detail. Pulling from my doctoral research (2020-2024), today we’re examining the crisis we’re in—a crisis of separation that’s generating the socio-environmental devastation, exploitation, extraction and other interrelated issues we see in our industry and beyond. I usually focus on sharing about the different regenerative possibilities that I envision fashion move toward,

Regenerative Leadership for Fashion

2025/09/25

Hey Loves,This week’s post is a longer form recorded podcast episode about my current explorations into regenerative leadership for fashion-textiles, what it is, why it’s important for our industry going forth, and how it may look like in practice.Regenerative leadership draws from nature’s principles: interconnectedness, collaboration, cycles of growth and renewal, diversity, reciprocity, reverence, care and resilience.

From Extractive to Relational Ways of Creating

Threads from the Pluriverse Podcast ·

2025/08/26

This week’s post is an audio recording and I’m posting a written version below →I've been working in an extractive way most of my life, without even knowing it. I think most of us have been and still are.After years in the fashion industry - burning out, feeling isolated and alone - I started noticing how extractive this way of working was. So one-way, so one-dimensional.Extraction is commonly defined as using effort or force to remove something - I'd add, without reciprocity.I interned at Vivienne

Autonomous Creating

2025/08/20

Hello Loves,This week’s post is a completely intuitive riff on autonomous ways of creating and designing and my current thoughts on why this is imperative now more than ever. I go into the importance of beginning to question and decondition from how we’ve been told creating needs to be, and what can emerge when we allow ourselves space to contemplate what we do and how we do it.I finish up with some contemplations that we marinate within and explore in Weaving Worlds, an online experience I

Why Embodiment is Vital for Creatives

Threads from the Pluriverse Podcast ·

2025/08/09

To me, embodiment means you become a living breathing vessel for what you stand for and what you’re creating in the world.What you're sharing and talking about moves beyond just the remits of the mind and becomes a lived experience in the day-to-day.It’s hard to describe.But there’s this certain layer of magic and potency that you can feel when someone is embodying what they’re sharing.In a world where speed, efficiency and metrics are valued more than other essences, are we taking the time for

2025/08/06

Hey Loves,This morning I presented some of my PhD research at the 'Capturing Practice' ADPRex conference hosted by the University of Singapore and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. I shared about some of my practice and documentation as done through textile embroideries, and how material making practices can help us think through pluriversality for fashion-textiles beyond the remits of the mind. This is a short presentation which I’ve included the audio for here, as well as my accompanying visual
