Hailey Roper: The Art of Becoming - Creativity, Loss & Growth
03/17/25 • 55 min
1 Listener
In this episode, I sit down with Hailey Roper, founder of Studio Kinship, to explore the intersection of grief, creativity, and intentional living. After the loss of her son Ivar, Hailey’s perspective on work and life profoundly shifted. She discovered that grief and beauty could coexist, that slowing down creates more impact, and that true alignment—whether in design or daily life—begins with honouring who we are.
We talk about:
✨ How loss reshapes us and why slowing down can bring clarity
🎨 The power of storytelling and symbolism in branding and life
👩👧👦 Navigating motherhood, business, and creativity with intention
⚡ Why alignment makes everything feel lighter—even when it’s hard
If you’ve ever felt the pull to create with more purpose or to move through life with more presence, I hope this episode resonates.
