Not all paths are clear. Sometimes, we are simply invited to wander. This year, the podcast unfolds as a mix of solo episodes, guest conversations, short mini-series, reflective pauses and listener voices gathered from the Lost & Found workshops which will be running throughout 2026. Together, we are going to trace the beautiful mess of making, becoming, and continuing even when the path isn’t clear.

This is a space for the messy middle of creativity - for taking the road less travelled, uncertainty, curiosity and the quiet resilience we are building together. It’s about learning as you go, showing up without certainty, and letting yourself get things wrong.

If you’re feeling lost, curious, or quietly called toward something new, then there’s a place for you. Welcome to your next adventure!

Thanks for listening,
