Are you ready to be inspired by a story of resilience and boundless creativity? This week, we’re thrilled to have Aisha Makara, an extraordinary artist and world traveler, join us on the Playful Humans podcast. Aisha’s transformative journey from being an orphan in Russia to becoming a global artist is nothing short of remarkable. Her experiences navigating an unsupportive environment, moving to America, and daring to send her art to space icons like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson will leave you in awe.

We dive into Aisha's “Joyful Living Guidebook,” a unique blend of art and reflective questions designed to inspire a life filled with joy. She shares her background in engineering and how her entrepreneurial spirit and relentless curiosity have fueled her numerous adventures. Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, Aisha’s dedication to her art and connecting with children led her to achieve the unimaginable—sending her artwork to the stars.

This heartfelt conversation also explores the importance of embracing struggles as a means to create freedom and pursue one's dreams. Aisha's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the simple, caring gestures that can make a world of difference. To wrap things up on a playful note, we encourage our listeners to embrace a playful and fulfilling Lifestyle. Tune in, get motivated, and find out how you, too, can live joyfully and playfully. Namaste and go play for a living!
