Season 6 begins today! And we’re excited for an entirely new set of special guests, fun segments, empowering life advice and great stories. And we have an epic first guest of Season 6, it’s the owner and designer of the popular walking stick and cane company, Neo-Walk, Lyndsay Watterson. Launched in 2013, Neo-Walk creates handmade acrylic walking sticks that fuse individuality, comfortability and stylish for the mobility aid community. This was sparked by Lyndsay’s journey with disability after developing a MRSA infection and later needing an above-knee amputation. Now sending canes to over 25 countries, Lyndsay had created a company that’s touched thousands of lives.

Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways:
0:00 - Intro to Season 6!
3:34 - Lyndsay and Dominique get real on how to have mobility aid confidence, how the evolving journey played a huge role in Lyndsay’s life, advice on moving past self-consciousness of trying out mobility aids and dealing with the general public stars or comments.
20:32 - Get empowered by the fusion of fashion, confidence and chronic illness/disability as Lyndsay talks about how an oven, wine bottle and a dream fused style with mobility, the best reactions of people who’ve purchased Neo-Walks, what’s the main reason you gotta add some style to boost your personal and social confidence, and ways to make stylish upgrades on a budget to your mobility aids.
36:15 - STORY TIME Intermission gets celebratory as Lyndsay talks about her time doing trapeze and aerial performance work for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Paralympics. And she might have flipped arounds in 50 meters/164 feet in the air above Coldplay!
42:07 - We end the podcast when Lyndsay and Dominique talk about developing a chronic illness/disability later in life, and how do you not focus on the loss but instead think of how the transition into a new way of living can bring beautiful new thing, Lyndsay expressing how adapting to continue during things she loves like evolving to hand-pedal-cycling has been so valuable, and all the tips and advice on trying new things when you might worry of injury or self-consciousness because fear stems from the same place they would have without any diagnosis.

Inktuition Letters

Final episode of Season 4 and we’re gonna be chatting with one of our fav types of podcast guests: female founders that wanna empower other young people to be their own game-changers.

 And we got that on today’s episode with CEO and founder of the adaptive apparel and intimates brand, Liberare, Emma Butler. A Brown University graduate living in Paris, Emma created Liberare as a way to fuse fashion, function, accessibility and disability representation together. So their line of lingerie and loungewear (like the best bras you’ll find!) have connected with thousands of buyers after just over two years!  

Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways from the podcast episode: 

1. At 4:04, Emma drops her life superlatives like the best customer review, her fashion dos and don’ts, and why she decompresses at the start of her days instead the end. 
2. Jump to 13:50, Dominique and Emma get talking about the young entrepreneur lifestyle, and give you unlimited access to advice that’ll get you prepared to start your own businesses. Plus, we’ve got the TOP TIPS you’ll wanna give to all your “healthy/non-disabled” coworkers/bosses so they can express themselves freely and create a flexible, adaptive and comfortable work environment that’s inclusive. 
3. STORY TIME at 36:14, brings us that one time Emma went on a first date and why she may have pulled out a Liberare bra for her date to see…true story, promise!  
4. End the podcast at 40:31 talking about how you can plan an important role making fashion more inclusive to fuel all your clothes-lover needs. Emma and Dominique get super real on how to combat the misconception of “health over fashion,” what actually makes clothes boost confidence especially on those flareup days, and how your consumer role can make the fashion industry more diverse in-front AND behind the scenes for optimal change.

This week’s guest is Nancy Zeffman, co-founder of Cucumber Clothing, a 100% British made luxury clothing brand for women; using a revolutionary intelligent fabric that’s cooling, anti-crush, & long-lasting, to create soft, stylish, sustainable sleepwear and loungewear.

With the first lockdown, being featured on Dragon's Den and everyone taking to their screens for business, Cucumber Clothing shot to popularity. It was the perfect attire for the new home/work integration, and now in the age of the new normal, people realise that they like to feel cool and comfy, and so this sustainable brand's rise to success  has continued unabated.

From PR to the advertising world including Saatchi & Saatchi, having children and then deciding to start her own business, Nancy has always worked on the basis of taking the opportunities as they came along. 

However right from the get-go of Cucumber Clothing Nancy and her business partner knew that they wanted to make it a sustainable brand. As she says, they didn't get everything right from the start, but if they had waited to get all their ducks in a row they might never have got going. Instead they made improvements as they went along.

Nancy believes that there are only so many ideas in the world so if you have a good one, have the courage to  grab it and run with it. 

Thanks Nancy for stepping up to the sustainability challenge and having the courage to hold strong to your values and vision and for showing us that we can buy, borrow and wear soft and sustainable clothing as part of our individual choices in the challenge to reverse the climate crisis.

Olivia is on a campaign to elevate men’s undies, and to get men thinking about the importance of their underwear drawer in a very different way; valuing quality, longevity and comfort every bit as highly as you would in a pair of shoes or a handmade suit.

There is beauty & art within so much of the world to inspire eclectic jewelry. It's in the hidden street art covering concrete-

It's in the magical parts of the world that leaves us in complete awe-

On today’s episode of Uncooked, Heidi Waldusky from Ad Age and Jacqueline riff on a few emerging trends headed our way in 2021. Listen in as we discuss the pressure of appointment-only shopping, the positive impact of pandemic dining, the love some fans have for branded merchandise and finally, whether or not we should be doing workout routines at our desks.

As the Associate Publisher, General Manager of Marketing and Brand for Ad Age, Heidi’s priority is to collaborate across disciplines to achieve continued success for the legacy media brand. She led the Ad Age rebrand in 2017, working to freshly position Ad Age to lead an industry in the throes of constant reinvention. A former executive creative director, her recent agency tenures include Story Worldwide and Havas, where she helped spearhead the addition of clients such as Beefeater, Keurig Green Mountain and Liberty Mutual Insurance. She relies on her team-building background daily to encourage new ideas and shape current ones for the better
