Show Notes
In this deeply nourishing conversation, Kez sits down with Rose Cousens, co-founder of Soma Cacao, yoga and meditation teacher, and silent retreat facilitator, to explore the intertwining paths of cacao, love, meditation, yoga, silence, spirituality, and conscious business.
Together, they explore the synchronistic moments that gave rise to the brand we know and love today, and what it truly is like to build a business from the heart, one that is an act of devotion to self, community, and the wider collective. This episode is living proof that a soul-aligned, heart-led business can be both sustainable, successful and deeply considered. One where the wellbeing of people, the planet and community inform every decision along the way.
Rose also vulnerably shares about her personal journey, providing an honest window into what she has been navigating behind the scenes with her fertility journey and the complexity of holding a growing business alongside very human challenges.
Kez pulls an oracle card to anchor the conversation, offering guidance for what the collective needs to receive through this exchange.
This episode is deeply inspiring, heart-opening and honest, providing insight into what it truly means to let heart, intuition and devotion guide the creation of a sustaining business and life.
