It is such a vibrant and energetic exchange joining other podcasters for meaningful conversations to share stories and perspectives. In one of those beautiful experiences, I had the pleasure of joining Amy and Natalie on the Bontanical Bruhaha Podcast to talk about something very important to me as a floral artist, mentor, and educator — the importance of self-care and finding balance in the hustle of creative work. We dove into navigating burnout and how to forge a path in floral design that is authentic and successful too.

 

I loved this conversation so much, sharing time with Nat and Amy, who are so devoted to our creative industry and the incredible people making it all happen, so I wanted to share it with you here:
