    In this episode I speak to Ashleigh Li, designer, colour fanatic and all round breath of fresh air. Ashleigh’s life changed completely when she had the opportunity to live under the palm trees in Los Angeles for a year, and we talk about how it shaped her business and her personal growth.
    Ashleigh is the founder of Pink Palms, a wedding design studio based in London. Needing an outlet for her interior design training and love of colour, Pink Palms was created after realising that modern, design - led couples weren't able to create a wedding that felt like a reflection of them, with it's mission to modernise the wedding industry at its core. Ashleigh now also runs Bungalow, an online membership for couples to plan & design their weddings with expert help and teaches other event professionals how to intuitively design for their clients through a range of digital courses.
    Keep the conversation going:

    In this episode I speak to Maddy Shine, SEO & Visibility Queen, some-time digital nomad and all-around glitterball of a human.

Work, and the pursuit of love, have taken her all over the world and we discuss how much her connection to place has changed over the years, and how the thought of a cheese and pickle sandwich eventually brought her home.

Unique content!

Identity is a huge discussion we ought to be having. It means so many different things to each and every one of us. A beautiful podcast, pure, human, full of insights!

👍🙌 🌍

I never listen to podcasts and so it would take something interesting to hold my attention - this did it with ease. Def for those into travel and people interested in hearing about the successes and difficulties experienced in living in multiple places
