Summary

In-demand model, public speaker, and activist Paloma Elsesser opens up about the ways in which spirituality and the healing power of art enhance and support her busy, always-in-motion life. Touching on the familial roots of her spirituality and taking Dua up through her present-day spiritual routines – mindfulness, meditation, and so much more – Paloma’s words may very well inspire you to put her day-to-day rituals into practice.

Throughout their conversation, you’ll hear Dua and Paloma bond over making space for themselves in an increasingly noisy world. Paloma also graciously shares stories about the healing power of art and how that has impacted her own work. It’s a true back-and-forth dialogue in every sense, Dua and Paloma trading stories and experiences that will resonate well beyond the confines of this episode.
