Episode 001: Welcome to the Take Your Time Universe

For the very first episode of Take Your Time, I'm sharing my own story and the "why" behind this podcast. I reflect on growing up in a small town in South Florida, discovering art history in eighth grade, and how collecting images through magazines, art books, and Tumblr became my creative safe space. I talk about how Take Your Time became my personal mantra as I built Crown Affair, what it really means to slow down and reclaim your time, and why I believe that all of us are creative, we just have to get quiet enough to listen to ourselves. Tune in for a meditation on dreaming, consistency, and the seeds we plant long before we ever see the fruit.
