Yarns for the Soul
"Yarns" is a common way for New Zealanders to describe having a chat, a conversation. We might say 'I had a great yarn with Nicole the other day!'. For me, a yarn can go in many different directions, often including multiple tangents and side stories. It also involves having deeper discussions and diving into some vulnerability, before coming back up to a lighter level with some sarcasm or dark humour.
Yarns for the Soul was born out of a desire to champion more honest and vulnerable conversation (but also feel like you're sitting on a friend's couch with a cup of tea having a yarn with them- and that friend is me!).
I believe in the magic and power of story-telling, and everyone has stories that deserve to be shared with the world. We are all experts of our own lived experiences, and I hope by sharing these we can foster more curiosity and compassion for others and the world around us.
I yarn with my guests on a range of topics, often delving into subjects that are still considered socially taboo or not spoken about enough. In my mini-yarns, I also share parts of my own stories, and reflect on things that I'm learning while I continue to muddle my way forward and follow my nose!

Episode 31- Two Thumbs Up: Yarns on living off €1 per day for a year with Chloé and Youna
On this episode I am joined for the first time by two special guests! Inspired by a French TV show, Chloé and Youna travelled around the UK and Europe for over a year surviving on just €1 per day. During our yarns they share the details about how they met, their 'why' for the project, and what they learnt along the way.
Both Youna and Chloé share on how overwhelmingly positive their experience was, and how they met amazing people at each destination. Their journey really is a testament to how you can find magic and connection anywhere you go, as long as you are open to letting it in!
To check out their amazing story, head over to Instagram @coup_deux_pouces. You can also find them on Insta @chloe_amsl and @youna___loriot.
