If you’re looking for someone who will inspire you to get through a difficult time and come out the other end thriving (particularly pertinent if you’re in the UK and just gone back into lockdown) then today’s guest – the make-up artist KSAVI - is that someone.

She has overcome huge loss and sadness in her life yet – without falling into fake forced jolliness – has managed to see her experiences as routes to growth, rather than defining her.

Creativity, first through make-up which started as a hobby, has been absolutely fundamental to this process. Not only that, once she opened the floodgates to her creativity, it started spilling out into many areas of her life: other creative outlets, her confidence, her determination to make a positive dent on the world and not care what others thought of her….

KSAVI genuinely believes her life is bigger, juicier, more creative and richer as a result of how she has come through the most difficult experiences of her life.

*Please note, this episode contains sensitive content about KSAVI losing her second son at 8 months old.
