In this episode, Helen sits down with world‑renowned artist Max Patté to talk about his family’s bold move from New Zealand to Mallorca. Max shares his journey of finding a home in Alaró (bought via WhatsApp!), settling his kids into Montessori school, navigating Spanish bureaucracy, and creating his stunning infinity works from his studio on the island.
We dive into his artistic evolution, his love for Mallorca’s Tramuntana mountains, and his exciting plans for a new creative space where he dreams of painting among 900‑year‑old olive trees.
From working on films like Harry Potter and The Hobbit to building a slower, more balanced life in the Tramuntana, Max’s story is a candid look at the rewards and challenges of starting over in Mallorca.

In this inspiring episode, Helen speaks with Nahomie Jean Lewis, a Haitian-American lawyer and entrepreneur who left behind a high-pressure life in Miami to rediscover softness, purpose and self-care on the quiet shores of Son Serra de Marina.
Naomi shares how burnout, health warnings, and a yearning for deeper connection led her to relocate—sight unseen—to Mallorca, where she now runs a private speakeasy, hosts soulful retreats through her brand Bloom, and continues to forge a slower, more intentional path.
Tune in to hear how she built community from scratch, found healing in solitude, and created space for other women to pause, reflect and reset.
