PRVNCL Magazine's Grace Taylor On "Drawing Inspiration From The Simple"
Grace Taylor's creative journey started in the chaotic and crazy New York city, but her experiences studying in France inspired her to value the notion of rest and relaxation in her life. PRVNCL magazine is the extension of Grace's experiences admiring and curating the balance between work and rest, something I think we can all learn a thing or two from! Together, Grace and I chat about how we can infuse little, tiny things in order to achieve that French lifestyle of valuing rest, admiring the little things and drawing inspiration from the simple, beautiful moments we overlook far too often. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to discover a more restful approach to finding inspiration, Francophiles and every one who's curious about creative wellness.
