Hi Everyone! I am Nicola, I am the founder of The Artisan Lab, social impactful home decor and fashion brand. I source handmade artisan-made pieces from all over, mostly from Rwanda, Morocco, Peru and Colombia. I am based in Madrid but I am originally from Scotland and travel quite extensively across Europe and beyond! I am super excited to be a part of this group of inspiring woman and hope to connect with you all in Madrid and beyond!

Hi everyone, am an entrepreneur ie fibre artists(knitting and crocheting), creating everything with my own hands hence handmade with love.

What helps you find your centre when everything around you feels uncertain? How do you return to yourself in moments of losing your way? As founders, we often wait for certainty before we move forward. But the truth is, external uncertainty is constant and out of our control. The skill isn't eliminating uncertainty, it's finding your internal anchor so you can move forward anyway. Your anchor is yourself. Here are three practices that have helped me return to myself, even in the middle of change: 1.⁠ ⁠Pause and come back to your breath. When you feel overwhelmed, take three conscious breaths. It brings you back to the present moment and away from the swirl of uncertainty. 1.⁠ ⁠Connect to your body. Your body holds wisdom that your busy mind often overrides. Place a hand on your heart or feel your feet on the floor. This simple act of self-awareness helps you access your inner anchor. 3.⁠ ⁠Align with your values. When things move fast, decisions become difficult. Staying connected to a core value gives you a clear sense of direction, even when the path ahead is unclear. How do you return to yourself in moments of uncertainty? Let me know your anchor practice in the comments!

Before I fell sick last week I was scheduled to deliver these two pieces.One a crochet granny square summer dress and the other a knitted Kenyan flag slouchy beanie.I managed to deliver the beanie can't wait to bounce back to my passion. #PassionPurposeProductivity #healing #Rebirth #knitted #crochet
