Episode notes
In this gentle solo episode, Yana reflects on the void; the quiet space before something exists, where ideas rest in the dark soil of possibility. She shares how Oak and Haven grew from a personal longing for connection during early motherhood, a time marked by isolation, anxiety, and a deep need for community and softness.
This episode is an invitation to notice what is missing in your life and to trust the first spark of an idea before there is proof. Yana explores how creation begins in places of unmet need, how tending to a vision transforms the creator as much as the creation, and how what we make for ourselves can ripple outward to nourish others.
A tender reminder to listen closely to what is calling you, to hold emerging ideas lightly, and to let them unfold in their own time.
