Fueling Your Inner Fire Featuring Pinki of Lighter Fluid Designs
Manage episode 500447190 series 3605484
What does it truly mean to become yourself? In this soul-stirring conversation with designer and spiritual seeker Pinki of Lighter Fluid Designs, we explore the profound journey toward authentic self-expression in a world constantly trying to define us.
Pinki shares her transformation from Katie to the pink-haired creator she is today, revealing how early spiritual teachings shaped her understanding of life's purpose. "Our thoughts are prayers and we are always praying," she recalls from her youth—a philosophy that continues to guide her creative work and personal evolution.
The conversation takes us through unexpected territory as we explore what happens when our spiritual foundations meet real-world challenges. From living on an unfinished sailboat in winter to creating a jacket for musical artist Jessie Reyez, Pinki's experiences illustrate how our most difficult moments often fuel our greatest growth. Her powerful tree analogy reminds us that our most important work happens beneath the surface: "The hardest working part of the tree is the roots—and you can't even see them."
We dive deep into finding balance through seasonal living, listening to our bodies, and embracing the different versions of ourselves that emerge throughout life. Pinki's insights on commitment as "a constant choice" and her message to her younger self about craving depth in relationships will resonate with anyone who's ever felt like an outsider for wanting more meaningful connections.
Whether you're on your own journey of self-discovery or simply curious about how creativity and spirituality can intersect to create a more authentic life, this episode offers fuel for your inner fire. As Pinki encourages: get to know yourself from a non-judgmental place and become a version of yourself you're proud of—it's a lifelong process worth embracing.
