Welcome to another Episode of the Sew Flipping Extra Podcast!

A platform for me to express, explore, connect and over all be Sew Flipping Extra... why because that brings me joy.

Growing up with sustainability woven into the fabric of everyday life, like turning old clothes into mats or hosting tupperware parties, is more than just a memory—it's a cultural legacy. This week on the Sew Flipping Extra Podcast, I share stories from the Brighton Sustainable Weekend, where I took the helm of a lettering workshop. I reflect on my upbringing, where sustainability was second nature and not just the latest trend. Friends chime in with their tales, from the innovative recycling practices of their ancestors to the creative ways their families made sustainable living a norm. These stories illustrate that sustainability is a cultural practice deeply rooted in our diverse backgrounds.
Switching gears, I open up about my personal journey toward self-improvement, spurred by the goal of entering a bikini model competition. While social media often presents a polished, unrealistic version of reality, I emphasise the importance of authenticity and pursuing growth for one's own satisfaction. The allure of social media can be deceptive, and it's crucial for both adults and children to recognise this. Remember, true change begins from within, driven by personal goals rather than external pressures. Join me in an exploration of genuine experiences and an uplifting message of staying true to oneself in a world filled with superficial portrayals.
