Fashion designer and artist Anja Broenink joins Hilary Sloane for an intimate conversation about creativity, reinvention, illness, aging, and the courage to keep evolving. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Anja began her career as a nurse, studied fashion design, and eventually built her clothing line, Anja SF, in San Francisco during the dot-com boom. Today she lives in Joshua Tree, where she balances painting, design, and a quieter, more intentional life. Together, they discuss fashion in the 1980s, Japanese design influences, cancer recovery, spirituality, creativity after COVID, and the emotional inspiration behind Anja’s colorful “Sadie” paintings. A thoughtful conversation about resilience, artistry, and learning to make each day meaningful.
