Ep. 177 - 8/8 Alchemy, Gratitude & Golf Shorts with Say Sukii
This week, The Fresh Bunch is joined by the ever-inspiring Sukii Qi — the Lifestyle Alchemist and Floral Artist behind Say Sukii. Sukii takes us on a deeply personal journey that began in the floral department at Whole Foods and blossomed into the creation of her own creative sanctuary.
Through grief, she found healing in flowers and followed a dream of freedom — what she calls the golf-shorts-on-Tuesdays lifestyle. By tuning into her inner voice, Sukii built a business rooted in beauty, intention, and gratitude.
As she approaches 10 years in business this November, Sukii shares her insights on transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, why not all money is good money, and how community, creativity, and energy fuel her purpose.
From creating safe spaces in her studio to diving into human design, Substack, and modern alchemy — this episode is a soul-nourishing dive into what it truly means to bloom from within. Want to know the frequency of a rose? Tune in.
