What It Takes to Follow Your Dreams: The Story of a Surfer and Artist | Made on Earth
On the North Shore of Oahu lives a woman named Noelani who embodies what it means to follow your dreams against all odds. She spends her days making jewelry, writing music, and surfing - a life that may seem idyllic, but hidden beneath it all is a story of courage, volition, and the strength to choose joy. I spent 5 days immersed in her world of ocean and art in order to learn what it takes to truly go for your dreams. This episode is the second chapter in Made on Earth, a documentary series that speaks to the heart of crafting a life of fulfillment - each episode featuring a different artist, artisan, and maker who, in their own unique ways, are living examples of those who dare to listen to their inner calling.
