    Heart Centered, Earth Directed Designs with Hollie Perniskie
    Jun 20 2026
    Today’s conversation is with host Emma Hamilton and special guest, Hollie Perniskie, designer and founder of Felix conscious design, a “heart centered, Earth directed” sustainable clothing brand based in Ōtepoti / Dunedin. Through her own business, Hollie uses her talent and training as a designer to create yoga, active, and leisurewear for women that prioritizes their comfort and health alongside the health of the Earth. Inside Hollie’s studio along the bustling hill on Stuart Street, we learn a bit about Hollie’s path to becoming a designer and some of her mentors and inspiration, many of whom are members of her own family/whānau. We also learn about the intention and experimentation that goes into Hollie’s process of making garments. Learn more about Hollie and her work online at https://www.felixwear.com, on Instagram @felix.consciousdesign, and on Etsy at https://felixconsciousdesign.etsy.com.

    Jun 6 2026
    In this episode, we hear from Kate Hobbs, an Australian passionate about promoting the mission of St. Carlo Acutis. As the first millennial saint in the Catholic Church, Carlo was in many ways a regular boy who grew up in Milan, enjoying football and gaming like his peers. Yet, he held a deep passion for his faith and a heart for serving the poor. With a relic of St. Carlo arriving in New Zealand this June, tune in to hear more about Carlo's story of holiness in ordinary life. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - http://oar.org.nz
