Hey team – welcome to May! 👋🏼

This is a little check-in to share what’s been going on behind the scenes.

As we head into Mother’s Day, it felt like the perfect moment to talk about the beautiful journey I’ve been on with my mum, Jules – best friend, travel buddy and recently podcast co-host.

We’ve had some pretty special moments recently (like being featured in GT Magazine and being invited to speak on a Mother's Day panel!), and it’s made me realise just how powerful these connections are.

I also chat a bit about where the podcast is heading – a little more travel, a little more bravery, and a lot more feel-good energy. Think stories that spark something in you and remind you to dream bigger.

Thanks for being here and I can’t wait for you to hear what’s coming next!

Eve, ELEVEN 🤍🌏🤸🏼‍♂️✨
