S4/Ep11 Returning Back To Self, Embracing The Messiness of Creativity and Honoring Heritage with Susana Goss
Susana Goss is BACK on the podcast and sharing all of the personal and professional life updates in this candid dialogue.
As a designer and multi-creative, Susana is no stranger to pivots, change and the unknown (in fact, she embraces it with full conviction). We discuss her recent journey transforming her architecture & interiors company, Shed Collaborative, to Ja Studio, and how the process transpired to be far more than just a business decision — rather, a beautiful, full-circle coming back to Self.
Together, we dive into embracing the messiness of creativity, the importance (and tensions) around (true) selflessness, and unpack how childhood experiences and heritage influence our sense of identity. A powerful dialogue and reminder that lasting joy is always found when we truly come back home to our Selves ✨
Topics Discussed:
• Susana’s journey of changing her business
• The power of “planting seeds” for others
• Breaking ALL the rules: why following structures in business can pull you away from joy
• Selfishness vs selflessness: why honoring ourselves is the best way to honor others
• Nature vs nurture: what shapes us to be who we are
• The influence of heritage on shaping identity
Listener Invitations:
Take a moment this week to reflect: Where in your life are you holding back from being your truest self? What part of your journey might actually be guiding you back to your roots?
