#23 - Clara Parkes on all things wool industry & community
12/03/21 • 60 min
In this episode, you’ll hear from le Grande Dame of Wool, Clara Parkes.
Clare is a New Your Times bestselling author, speaker and wool advocate.
Oh m'gosh I had so much fun talking to Clara Parkes, our first conversation 'in sound' was awesome. Le Grand Dame of Wool has a way of talking about serious issues in such a fun way. This talk was recorded and shared with the Ja, Wol community in the late summer of 2021 but I'm so happy to share it with all of you now. We talk about trade offs, compromises we make as conscious knitters, how the industry is build and how we can keep it going and our heart's work; eating chips on you tube.
If you are interested in serious information, packed in a bunch of laughter, this is your episode. It was wonderful to expand our Insta DM relationship to a visible and audible conversation.
I hope you'll love it as much as I did.
Enjoy!

You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching. Coaching gets a bad rep sometimes, but when it's done right, it can be really transformational. As part of my coaching education, I'll soon need to do real coaching sessions. And it could be a really great opportunity for you to experience it at no or low cost. If you've ever been curious about working with me in this way, now's the time. Just send me an email: [email protected]

In de serie ‘Hart op de tong’ praat ik met Sophia Smeekens van Studio Escargot / @studioescargot over hoe het eigenlijk gaat bij ons in de textiel wereld. We zijn geen socioloog, bedrijfskundige, econoom of psycholoog dus ik gooi er even een disclaimer in, je luistert naar de gedachten en ideeën van twee hartstochtelijke makers, we zijn geen experts in alles waar we een mening over hebben. We hopen dat je ons geklets informatief en vermakelijk vind.

Zij met haar handgemaakte poppen van gerecyclede materialen, ik met mijn digitale diensten en hang naar connectie. Beide met een andere achtergrond vanuit een andere stad. Maar ook allebei met hart voor de zaak.
Omdat we van transparant en eerlijk houden en omdat we niet bang zijn een andere mening te hebben startten we deze serie en noemden we het ‘hart op de tong’. Niet ge-edit rauw en eerlijk.

We praten dit keer over minder kopen, of zoals in mijn geval, een heel jaar niks kopen! Waarom ik dat besloot, of me dat gelukt is en de gedachtenkronkels die zich afspelen in Sophia's hoofd voordat ze een dek tarotkaarten aanschaft hoor je in deze aflevering.
