This week we sit down with Patricia Solarie - entrepreneur, founder of the ethical clothing brand Cereira, retreat space creator, and a woman who has repeatedly chosen to follow her heart, even when it meant walking away from everything familiar.
We talk about leaving the soul-crushing corporate world, moving across the globe, building a retreat center in Costa Rica from scratch with her partner, creating a slow fashion brand rooted in integrity, and learning to trust life through seasons of uncertainty.
We also dive into relationships, the importance of giving each other space to grow, choosing whether or not to have children, community living, the beauty of the unknown, and why sometimes the bravest thing we can do is change our minds.
This is an episode about trusting your heart, embracing the void between chapters, and remembering that the life you’re longing for often begins the moment you stop living according to everyone else’s expectations.
