Opening Up Karolína Kváš

Today's Opening Up episode I'm talking with Erin Polowy from My Green Closet.
She's been a huge inspiration of mine ever since I dived into a minimalism challenge about 2 years ago. She's the one who got me excited about capsule wardrobe and finally opened my eyes about the topic of sustainable fashion.

The reason I like Erin is because of her gentle approach, where she's not shaming anyone but rather talks about making a big difference through small changes. And so today...

We talk:

•The pleasure/pain balance
•Impulse buying and strategies to avoid it
•Living sustainably without loosing your mind
•The balance between consciousness and comfort
•Motherhood and how it has changed her capsule wardrobe
•Furnishing an entire house second-hand

Today's episode is with Ariel Andersson; a mother, coach and the host of her Imperfect Parenting podcast.

Ariel is yet another amazing soul I've met online when she invited me over to her show (I really recommend her podcast to everyone who's trying to navigate parenthood and sanity at the same time :) and it was an instant connection. Despite never actually meeting each other in the offline world and living across the globe from one and another, she really grew close to my heart.
Ariel is one of those highly creative people who's constantly up to something. Also, she lived in the Czech Republic for over 20 years before recently moving back to California. That's why in this episode...

We talk:

•Fitting fully into a different culture
•Clashing mentalities and identities
•Trying to work out businesses in two different languages at the same time
•Being an older mom and being swallowed whole by parenthood
•Finding the loves of our lives
•(Not) apologising for having and wanting more
•Trusting your heart despite feeling totally crazy at times

Welcome to the first episode of Opening up!My first guest Leonie Dawson is huge crush of mine. She's an artist, a hippie, a mama, an international best selling author and a serial entrepreneur. But most of all, she's just a really cool and fascinating human being who combines many seeming oxymorons.

In today's conversation we're covering all these topics and more:

- being authentic in life and business and flying your freak flag
- swearing in business (wait! Is that allowed?)- setting boundaries
- where Leonie draws the line for sharing openly with the whole world
- shifting away from social media
- the process of letting go of Leonie's Shining Life & Biz Academy
- motherhood as a creative hermit
- what's the best parenting advice Leonie has ever received

You'll find Leonie, her blog, courses and workbooks here:
