Episode Details

Jade Jeffers left the city to slow down and fight a progressive illness. After she moved to the coast, she not only rekindled her love of art, but she found contentment in her life.  

She is now a beachcombing artist and sells her work all over the world. In transitioning to be an artist, Jade also had to become an entrepreneur realising that in order to share her work she would need to speak to sell. 

In this show, Jade talks about her journey, how she finds the stories behind her pieces and how she 'reads' her audiences before making her pitches. 

Enjoy! 

What you'll discover:

• How Jade turned her life upside down to reconnect with her passion, find a simpler existence and slow down her progressive illness.

• The journey she has gone on to feel comfortable selling and speaking. 
• How Jade reads the body language of the potential customer to influence how she pitches.
