In this episode of The Connection Compass, I’m joined by Rafaela Nunes, the founder of Thread Up, a private therapy practice in Manchester dedicated to supporting creative individuals through mental health and emotional challenges.

Rafaela has a unique way of blending her love for creativity, connection, and compassionate guidance, and today we dive into everything that lights her up.

We explore Rafaela’s journey from the vibrant streets of Rio to the creative energy of Manchester, her experiences growing up in a fashion atelier, and the magic she witnessed along the way.

We talk about the highs and lows of being a creative, navigating vulnerability, and the lifelong practice of self-compassion. Rafaela also shares her vision for Thread Up, the long-term journey of supporting creatives, and the ways in which the creative process itself can bring heart, connection, and purpose into our lives.

Whether you’re a creative navigating your own emotional journey or simply curious about how creativity, care, and connection intersect, this conversation is full of insight, warmth, and inspiration.
