All The Small Things

All The Small Things

All The Small Things is a weekly interview series hosted by Venetia La Manna. Venetia will be speaking to inspiring people, thought leaders, writers and activists about the rituals that help provide structure when we need it most - or perhaps if creativity lies in the chaos if it all. We'll be learning about the small things that keep them in-check and uncover more about what makes their minds tick. What’s more, we’ll hear about the seemingly small moments that perhaps felt insignificant at the time, but their impact turned out to be life-changing. This podcast aims to encourage us to pay closer attention to the present moment and cherish all the small things. Note: this podcast is a follow up from Talking Tastebuds. Hosted on Acast.
