  • Molly and I met on a day when, quite frankly, neither of us wanted to go to a networking coffee date–-as the universe would have it, we met for a reason. Since that day, a lot has changed––Molly unexpectedly started a PR firm that's best known for identifying an "it" factor in emerging brands and splits her time between NYC and London. We discuss our journeys of curating our personal and professional lives to be in alignment, meditation, Joe Dispenza, all things "woo woo" (think Red String Theory and Celestine Prophecy), and so much more.

    Keep up with Molly's work on both Instagram and Substack!

  • Frances is always one of my favorite people to run into at a press event–she's down-to-earth, kind, and one of the most hardworking writers that I know. Case in point, with her first book newly released, this was the perfect time for her to share her story with you. Frances was born and raised in Puerto Rico and is now based in New York where she's worked with Refinery29, The Cut, Rolling Stone, and more. Now, she's adding author to her list of accomplishments as her first book Little Book of Bottega Veneta: The Story of the Iconic Fashion House recently hit shelves.

  • In the midst of their own healing and self-care journeys, Lauren and Lacey found each other and a shared desire for creating a space for community and calmness in a city (and society) that so naturally leans towards chaos. After years of sourcing experts practitioners, ideating the perfect modern-yet-welcoming aesthetic, and curating an offering of best-in-market products, Sage + Sound was born. The space offers tried-and-true self-care rituals like manicures and facials but also allows client to dive deeper into the realm of wellness, too––cue astrology workshops, energy healing, sound baths, and more.

  • Last summer in Los Angeles, I found Hannah's classes at Carrie's Pilates and immediately resonated with her tough-yet-positive approach to fitness, her social media presence that uplifts food freedom and listening to your body, and her journey from stepping away from a draining "dream job" in the entertainment industry to a path in fitness that actually aligned with her values. While Hannah teaches at some of the most coveted studios in LA (Carrie's, Heimat, Heated Room), she also offers her own digital fitness program "Sweat With Hannah" to access no matter where you are in the world. Tune in to learn more about Hannah's journey, the hype around pilates, and cultivating your own mind-body connection.

  • From college roommates to partners in life and business, Tanner and Fletcher have come a long way from two soon-to-be-freshmen in a Facebook group. While still roommates, the duo has added co-founders to their roster of titles as well as CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund nominees. Tanner Fletcher is an emerging genderless brand that pushes that boundaries between masculinity and femininity and offers up an of-the-moment lens of bygone eras. Their collections consistently spark warm, feel-good moments of nostalgia while addressing critical oversights within the fashion industry––and creating community amongst their customers. Listen in as we discuss what it's like growing a young brand with purpose, balancing a personal and professional relationship, and curating your creative lens.

  • Even for those outside of the fashion industry, Fashion Week immediately sparks a connotation of star-studded runway shows, champagne towers, and, well, chaos if you live in any of the host cities––and while the Weeks can get a bad (and frivolous) rep, I promise that there's still a purpose to it all. Whether you work in the industry and know the Weeks all too well yet are only fluent within your sector, or it's not quite your thing but are still intrigued by it all, this episode outlines how different facets come together to create a meaningful month of events to help share the hard work of designers. Tune in to hear from Arielle Siboni, Fashion Director of Women's RTW at Bloomingdale's, Matthew Cancel, Head Publicist & CEO of Cancel Communications, and Caroline Vazzana, Author & Content Creator as they discuss their roles as well as where to eat, stay, and play throughout NYFW.

  • Ahead of Fashion Week(s), I'm kicking off a four-part series with my very lovely friends and editorial peers: Savannah Sitton, Market Editor at Fashionista and Beatrice Hazlehurst, freelance Features Editor at publications like Rolling Stone, Vogue, Paper & more. While fashion gets a rap for being cutthroat, we actually met at a press dinner (shoutout Longchamp!) in Los Angeles and bonded over endless stories on early career days that mimicked The Devil Wears Prada, the great NYC vs. LA debate, interviewing celebrities, and balancing a calendar of events while finding time for creativity, wellness, and a personal life (what a concept!). So, obviously we had to pop into the studio six months later and record it for you to hear, too.

  • Whether you're working on a creative endeavor or wanting to show up as your best self in your relationships, curating your mental and physical health is key as a foundation. While we all love "talk therapy", there are so many other tools–both traditional and unconventional–available to find what actually works best for you within healing and self-discovery. In this episode, I outline my favorite tools and practices (from hypnotherapy to astrology readings in Bali) that I've tried throughout the years–and actually made a difference.
