In this episode of Career Conversations with Chris, I sit down with Anuschka Pashel, a model and founder of Bloom in Denver. From winning Ford’s Supermodel of the World at 18, to a career-altering crash, to building a life around flowers, travel, and handmade design, Anuschka’s story is one of reinvention and resilience.

We cover:

  • Refugee roots, to Paris runways, to U.S. culture shock
  • The accident that reset her path
  • Building Bloom: flowers, jewelry, and one-of-a-kind treasures
  • Why handmade still matters in an AI world
  • Travel, painting, and finding freedom in creativity
  • Flowers as fleeting miracles and why they still move us

A candid, colorful conversation about risk, beauty, and making a life by making things.
