ABOUT.
Sunsmith is a female-lead, outdoor and wellness culture which aims to cultivate compassion for our planet, our communities and ourselves. A place where we can get inspired through tales and experiences of adventure, personal growth, and connection to something greater than ourselves.
Sunsmith is like the grand canopy of a sturdy tree which forms the space and shelter for diverse, smaller projects to take seed underneath it. These include initiatives like the Moved By Nature Podcast, Nature Club, a Yoga hub, and more exciting ventures on the horizon (stay tuned).
Rooted in themes of wellbeing, recreation, travel, sustainable and ethical living, activism, environmentalism, philosophy, and female empowerment, this space brings it all together.
FOUNDER & HOST.
Brigid Moloney, founder of Sunsmith and host of the Moved By Nature podcast, created this community driven by her passion for nature, its preservation, and empowering women to share their stories and thrive. After years in the fashion and surf/swimwear industries, she felt disillusioned by its environmental harm, human rights issues and the barriers that existed for her to progress her career in a male dominated space. When she travelled to developing countries for business, every time she left with a bad taste in her mouth. Burnout eroded her sense of self and her life purpose. It all led her to taking a leap of faith and shifting her life toward balance and a new alignment with her values.
As a multi-potentialite with a Bachelor's degree in Design, Brigid is also a Yoga Teacher, mother, Share Market Trader, podcast producer, photographer, gardener, writer, surfer, and hiker. Her many years spent living and travelling abroad—surfing in the Maldives, trekking the Himalayas, living among the snow-capped peaks of the French Alps, crossing the desert in Jordan in the Middle East, practising Yoga in Rishikesh, India —broadened her worldview. These experiences shaped her photography and now fuel the compelling conversations on her podcast. She has demonstrated that this unconventional lifestyle can indeed financially support her and her family and this in turn has driven her to also mentor women about financial empowerment.
Through Moved By Nature, Brigid aims to reconnect us with Mother Nature, each other, and ourselves. The podcast revives the ancient art of storytelling, sharing inspiring tales from women transformed by nature’s presence. It explores how these experiences shape identity and mirror our relationships, weaving themes of sustainability, wellness, growth, and adventure. Brigid’s own story reflects this mission and she’s now focusing on amplifying voices that inspire action.
