About this listen


What if your next chapter is hidden in the quiet?
Carole spent 25 years building a bridal fashion business, until the world paused. When COVID-19 hit, she opened a drawer and found a forgotten scrap of green fabric. That moment didn’t just lead to a craft project, it led to a calling.


In this immersive episode, tour guide Njoki Munene takes you through Carole’s remarkable journey, from childhood paper mache projects to selling gowns off the runway, to discovering healing and purpose in mixed media art. A story of stillness, self-trust, and starting over.


✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • How Carole fell in love with art before she even knew what it was

  • The detour that took her into fashion, and the burnout that followed

  • A quiet moment in lockdown that sparked a full reinvention

  • Learning art through trial, YouTube, and tenacity

  • The joy (and tears) of starting again, with her hands and heart

🎧 Perfect for listeners who:

  • Are navigating a creative or career pivot

  • Need inspiration to start again, even if it’s messy

  • Believe in second acts, late blooms, and the art of reinvention
