Tamarin Howse had always dreamed of working for Air New Zealand so when she landed a role at head office as a Customer Experience designer, she thought she’d be in it for the long haul. 

But just a year in, and right before she was about to launch a huge project, the Covid 19 pandemic struck New Zealand and she lost her job.

Thankfully though, she had something else on the boil. A small tea business she’d been operating as a tiny side hustle.

She tells Newshub's Wilhelmina Shrimpton about her anxiety, her brand Anxie-TEA, and how she turned a passion project into a career.
