Finding Joy in the Little Things: 20somethings.
Hi, I’m Issy, a founder of Issea Lifestyle and I want to share a piece of my journey with you. Navigating life in your twenties isn’t always easy. During university, I faced my fair share of mental health struggles, feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and often unsure of my path. The experience of Covid-19 throughout my time at University definitely contributed to these struggles. It was a challenging time, and one that taught me the importance of looking inward and prioritising my mental well-being.
Amidst the chaos of exams, new responsibilities, and the pressures that come with young adulthood, I found comfort in the little things. That’s when I started to focus on mindfulness and wellness practices, like daily journaling and gratitude. Taking even just a few minutes each day to reflect, write down what I was grateful for, and savour the simple pleasures—making my morning coffee, a Brighton beach sunset, spending time with friends & starting a good book—slowly but surely helped me reframe my mindset. These small moments became my anchors, bringing me back to a place of calm and connection with myself. I started my platform on TikTok during my final year of University, this is where I shared my “anchors”. In doing so I built such a loving, small community, one that brought me a lot of joy.
My journey through those years inspired me to create Issea Lifestyle—a place that celebrates the beauty in life’s simple pleasures. I believe wholeheartedly in curating products that can help others find a sense of peace, joy, and inspiration in their daily lives, just as I did. Here’s to creating space for wellness, cultivating gratitude, and embracing the journey together.
Thank you for being here.
Love Issy x
Rediscovering My Passion: The Journey to Issea Lifestyle.
Hello, I’m Kate, co-founder of Issea Lifestyle. My journey here has been a fulfilling and varied one. I studied Law at university and spent a few years teaching, but my love for creativity and building something unique led me to open a children’s clothing shop. That chapter was a wonderful one, but soon after, I dedicated myself to raising my family.
Now, with my children grown and off on their own adventures, I felt the call to rediscover something personal, creative, and inspiring. Starting Issea Lifestyle with my youngest daughter has been a dream come true—a new beginning filled with purpose and connection. I’m thrilled to share our passion for beautifully crafted products that bring comfort, joy, and inspiration into everyday life. Thank you for joining us on this journey!
Love Kate x
