I'm delighted to bring you a story today of possibility. Kim Pearce and Kath Davis are the wonderful women behind The Possibility Project and clothing line Slumwear 108. These two women met by chance on the school drop off on the dawn of the new school year. They connected immediately and the next thing you knew, they were off to India together. It's often easy to think “What change could I possibly effect!?” and thr truth is, if you want to, you find a cause and you fight for it, figuring it all out along the way. In today's show we talk about their slow clothing line, their social justice projects, the circular economy and how we can all effect change big and small. It's an inspiring collaboration between two women that I know you will leave feeling very hopeful about the world from. The show supporter offer and all details on Kath and Kim's wonderful work are available over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast Enjoy the show!

  1. Where there's a will there's a way - what does that phrase mean to you?
  2. You met on the school run and we'll talk about what happened from there in a bit, but first: What were you doing in your careers before that fateful school run - born and bred hippy chicks who care, or were there a series of ahas or a defining moment that made you start to see beyond the 'great deal at the fave fashion store'?
  3. So changing the world isn't a sweet little suggestion you can make over a coffee - or is it? How did you two decide to join forces and create something together?
  4. How did you decide what sort of business you would start?
  5. How was the experience of building your supply chain?
  6. Something that I love is the for people/ for planet connection in what you've created - people being trained in a vocation and paid a living wage and the upcycling/ recycling of materials... Is it easy to run things over here, and ensure people are getting paid well over there?
  7. Business is hard - and the massive list of 'to do's can often sap creativity - how do you nurture creative thinking in your days and lives to ensure you're able to continue to move forward and keep solving complex problems through your work?
  8. Who is a person who's felt like a guiding light for you on this journey?
  9. Some of your favourite examples of people helping us be our best most-awake selves in this new era...
  10. What's next for The Possibility Project?
  11. and if you had to share one thing each that you believe is a super powerful way for people to make a little change in life for the betterment of people/planet - what is your favourite to share?

Low Tox Life

Hello! Welcome to the Low Tox Life podcast - the place to bring your low tox life to life across all low tox pillars: Food. Body. Home. Mind. Planet. We cover it all to support you and your goals with some of the best minds in the world joining me each week. I'm Alexx Stuart, your host, and in 2009 I coined the term 'low tox' and started lowtoxlife.com. From there I've created 10 courses and had 2 books published (Low Tox Life and Low Tox Life FOOD; I've written countless research articles and recipes to inspire a low tox life. I am thrilled to bring this podcast to you as an extension of the online community, filled with multi-passionate people from around the world. The concept of living a Low Tox Life is one that rejects perfection, black and white notions of there only being one way to 'do it right'. Instead, we take a relaxed and curious approach to better choices to incorporate into our lives as and if they fit. Low Tox therefore instead of 'no tox' as people come together from all walks of life; from cities to regional and remote areas to work from our overlaps and all be part of the many solutions toward healthy people and planet. Forget wasting time feeling bad about what you're not doing or you didn't know yesterday. Let's feel awesome about what we can learn and do from today! Thanks for being here. I just know you'll be inspired as I am by each show. Enjoy, subscribe, pop the kettle on and most importantly: Welcome!For more, head to www.lowtoxlife.com and for easy back-catalogue exploring of the podcast, by topic type that you're most looking for, head to https://www.lowtoxlife.com/low-tox-life-podcast-index/And if you share a show, be sure to tag me at @lowtoxlife on Instagram so I can share it too!
