Modern Day Connectors

Show Notes

In today’s episode, I sit down with Kaysey Taylor for a genuine conversation about creativity, identity, culture and discovering more of yourself.

Kaysey shares how she found her way into special effects makeup and what it’s really like working in film and television. Working with some of Aotearoa's most well known actors, reconnecting with her Māori roots, learning to set boundaries, and trusting her own intuition. She opens up about a deeply personal experience with her twin sister and the emotions that came with finding out she's about to become an auntie and much more!

A conversation full of depth, learnings, insights, lots of laughter, staying true to yourself, reconnecting with where you come from, and choosing the life you want to create. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
