“Purpose is that feeling you get in the morning when you wake up and you know that what you’re working on, what you have planned, is precisely what you should be doing.”

It was a privilege this week to talk to Saasha Celestial-One about feeling fulfilled in her work every single day. The founder of Olio - the revolutionary food-sharing app - explained how her work to reduce food waste has given her a true sense of purpose, something she describes as ‘the absence of regret, and a lightness of knowing what you’re doing.”

Born in America to hippy parents - who gave her her unusual name - Saasha is a true hunter-preneur - someone who has found the patch of land in which they can truly make a difference, and then thrown all they have at it.

Remarkably down to earth, she is a huge advocate for the power of the collective, and explains how people often think they need a bigger patch of land than they actually do.

But we can all make a difference if we are led by our passion. As she reminds us: “Find the smallest possible thing that feels achievable and just do that.”

In this chat, we also talked about the freedom of no longer having self-judging conversations with yourself, the difficult balance between investment and social impact and learning how to understand the difference between what you need versus what you think you need.

Saasha says her greatest motivation lies in the lives of the individual people she’s helping with Olio - facilitating a return to wholeness, and a way of living that feels less lonely and more communal.

“I’m really curious about everyone else’s story,” she says. “It’s real easy to get caught up in your own little world, but we’re all just humans doing the best that we can."
