67. Rest, Boundaries, and the Courage to Live Differently with Ania Ray

from Inspired by Design · host Sarah St Pierre

What if success didn’t have to come at the cost of rest, presence, or your nervous system? In this episode, I sit down with Ania Ray,  founder of Quill & Cup, novelist, and world-schooling mom, to talk about building a life and business that actually feel good to live inside. We cover gentle leadership, redefining resilience, setting boundaries without guilt, and why rest is a non-negotiable (not a reward). From nomadic entrepreneurship to slow living, this conversation is a reminder that sustainable work starts with honoring your humanity.And if this episode resonates, explore Quill & Cup for a community that blends creativity, wellness, and mindset in a truly supportive way.Follow her on Instagram - @theaniasseyAre you bold enough to stand out in your industry or are you blending in?
