In this episode of FEEL SEEN SPACE, Roxanne Doucet interviews co-founder and host Sara Van Pée, a stylist, artist, and founder of Substance magazine. From growing up in the countryside to building a creative life in New York and Paris, Sara reflects on her personal and professional journey—and the lessons she’s learned about intuition, authenticity, and staying true to her vision.
Together, they explore:
• Reconnecting with artistic purpose in a new city
• The role of mentorship in navigating the creative industry
• Scarcity, burnout, and leaving toxic environments behind
• Creating Substance magazine as an offering for meaningful work
• Redefining beauty, building flow, and leading with mindfulness
This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: the creative path isn’t always linear, but it becomes sustainable when rooted in intention, growth, and connection.
