About the Show
Meet Louisa & Emily—two creatives, long-standing friends, and seekers of meaning in the everyday. For over two decades,
Louisa has redefined what interior design can be through her pioneering studio, House of Grey. A visionary in her field, she has championed a whole-person, whole-world approach to design, proving that sustainability and luxury are not opposing forces. Through Circular Salutogenic Design, she creates spaces that don’t just look exquisite but actively enhance well-being, demonstrating that ecological integrity and soulful aesthetics can exist in perfect harmony.
Emily, founder of Mahala, has spent years curating a life and a business rooted in intention—one that values craftsmanship, authenticity, and a deep connection to the world around us. Her journey hasn’t been linear; it’s been one of reinvention, resilience, and the pursuit of something deeper than conventional success. From restoring objects with a sense of history to building a home filled with warmth and purpose, Emily embodies a life lived slowly, consciously, and as beautifully. Now co-hosts of Pause, Connect, Reflect.
Louisa and Emily bring their depth, humour and curiosity to open-hearted conversations about life, creativity, and the lessons that shape us. Friends who have walked parallel paths—both in their creative journeys and personal transformations—they invite listeners into thoughtful, unfiltered discussions, sharing insights, stories, and the wisdom gained along the way.

Forgiveness takes time — most of us would probably agree on that. It can live in the body for years, long after something is “over”. Forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting or letting people back into your…
