01. Passions with Purpose - Melissa Bloom of The Sisters Bloom

In the premiere episode of Return to Nature, we begin with a solo conversation with host Melissa Bloom.  Melissa is the founder of The Sisters Bloom, an eco-conscious stop-motion animation studio. After working for several years in the professional stop-motion animation industry in Los Angeles, she stepped away and embarked on a holistic health journey alongside her sister, learning firsthand that human health is directly related to our environment.  Five years later, with a yearning to return to her passion, Melissa decided to start her own studio that prioritized the health of humans and the planet throughout the production process.
