I'm joined by the incomparable Deborah Lloyd today to talk about her incredible career in fashion and what she learned from working as the Chief Creative Officer of Kate Spade. We talk about her transition from overworking to a slower lifestyle focused on finding the rhythm of the seasons in her garden and doing all the things she wanted to do but never had time to due to work commitments.

I ask her about how she used to spot talent and what she looked for in the people she hired. Through her stories, we experience life as a fashion executive traveling around the world, adapting to what her work required. She tells us about picking people who can do what we can't, and realizing that everything over the course of life is additive - "when the moment's right, things happen." Finally, Deborah shares what she's learned beyond work: to enjoy the journey, and let go of the tunnel vision when it's coming at the cost of too much life.

Join us for this fun, insightful conversation that left me feeling inspired and reinvigorated - and wishing I had a beautiful English garden!
