Ep 01 | An Awful Diagnosis at 24 & the Brand Born From It

At 24, Anna Kempt’s body fell apart overnight. The diagnosis: psoriatic arthritis.

The prescription: meds for life.

Instead, Anna followed an inner "no" - pursuing food, environment, herbal support and stress reduction practices while navigating the very real fear and fatigue of chronic illness.

In this conversation, we talk about refusing stories that don’t fit, the kitchen-floor moment that sparked a mission and how Olympia & Orla - her natural skincare brand was born from a promise to make beauty that is truly natural, indulgent and functional.
