    Daisy Richardson In Bloom: Surviving her 20s

    Daisy Richardson In Bloom: Surviving her 20s

    HELLO BUDS!
    This week we are bringing you an In Bloom chat with a very familiar name for those Survivor fans out there, Daisy Richardson. While we do deep dive into Daisy’s Survivor journey, this chat is so much more than that and goes into navigating different career paths, living with endometriosis, being an ambassador for not one but two not-for-profits and taking on a mother figure role in your early 20s. 
    If you’d like to see more from Daisy you can follow her on Instagram @daisyrichardson
