On this episode of Conscious Curiosity SD, Jeff and Sara explore the journey of finding meaning in work, transitioning from a corporate tech career to becoming a watercolor artist and founder of Swil Arts. They discuss the importance of slowing down to appreciate life’s small moments, the challenges of building a sustainable business, and the principles of conscious capitalism in action.
Rooted in San Diego, Sara has built Swil Arts as a purpose driven, place-based business that creates art designed to foster connection, reflection, and belonging. Drawing from local landscapes and community narratives, her work reflects an intentional shift from a career in tech and science toward something more expansive and human. By stepping away without a fixed plan and creating space for what could emerge, she shaped a business grounded in intention, thoughtful decision making, and contribution to the communities it serves.
Listen now if you are navigating a transition, seeking greater alignment in your work, or curious what becomes possible when you slow down enough to create space for what could be.
