This week I am honored to be joined by Isobel Hope.
To anyone who is only vaguely familiar with Isobel's work, they may have seen one of her day in the life TikToks which people seem to love. While I love them as well, as I continued to consume more and more of Isobel's content I quickly realized she is not just like every other creator - she is an artist.
Her work on Youtube particularly strikes a chord with me every time I watch. Her ability to take what other people would call "mundane" or "normal" and turn it into beautiful art is unparalleled.
Her videos never shy away from any topic of the human experience - love, loss, anxiety, worry, joy, happiness, you name it, it's there. I know anybody in their 20's will truly resonate with her work as she is a master at being able to find the beauty in all moments of life.
