In this week's episode of the Celebrate a Sister Podcast, I'm coming to you from the beautiful town of Rishikesh in India during the joyful Holi Festival — a celebration of colour, renewal, and the triumph of light over darkness.

While hosting my fourth Wholehearted Retreat here with Yogi Louie, I've been reflecting on the powerful lessons India offers: living from the inside out, embracing devotion, letting go of the past, and rediscovering joy through colour, play, and connection.

From sacred ceremonies at an ashram to the magic of women gathering in sisterhood, this experience has reminded me of something simple yet profound — life isn't meant to be lived in beige. It's meant to be colourful, joyful, and deeply alive.

If you've been craving a reminder to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and celebrate the beauty of being a woman in community, I hope this episode fills your heart.

All my love from India. ✨

This week on Celebrate a Sister, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with the beautiful Heidi, one half of the sister duo behind Ulu Lounge, a soulful fashion brand known for its bohemian elegance, natural fibres, and deep commitment to slow, sustainable fashion.

Heidi shares the heartwarming story of how she and her sister Daisy began this journey, from a sunset wedding in Uluwatu, Bali, to creating timeless, feel-good pieces that honour both the women who wear them and the artisans who craft them. What I loved most about our chat was hearing how their designs are made with real women in mind, pieces you can actually live in, feel confident in, and treasure for years to come.

We talk about:

• The power of creating a business with your sister

• Why slow fashion is more than a trend, it's a movement

• Designing clothes that feel as good as they look

• Sustainability, style, and doing business differently

• Burnout, balance, and the beautiful reality of building something from scratch

This conversation is a true celebration of sisterhood, creativity, and courage. Whether you're dreaming of starting something new, exploring conscious fashion, or just love hearing real women share their journey, this episode will absolutely warm your heart.

I've officially turned 50! And in this episode of Celebrate a Sister, I'm inviting you into a really personal moment of reflection. Hitting a milestone birthday like this brings up all the feels—so I'm sharing five truths that have been sitting on my heart as I step into this new decade.

We talk about body acceptance (yes, even the shorts moment!), dropping the need to perform or impress, reconnecting with creativity, and what it really means to be authentic. I also get honest about some of the shifts I've made in my business, my relationships, and how I show up in the world.

If you're in a season of change—or just craving a reminder that you're not alone on this journey—I hope this episode feels like a warm hug and a little spark of encouragement.

Let's celebrate the beauty of becoming, together.
