We all know fast fashion is toxic; it’s nothing new.

Although it was over 40 degrees and I was melting in the extreme heat, I attended the Montreal fashion festival with friends and had a blast. As a matter of fact, it was super inspiring to meet all these incredible local designers and was truly one of the highlights of my summer.

This week, I had the immense pleasure of welcoming the new spring season with a podcast conversation with Jennifer Brodeur, a female entrepreneur I greatly admire. This wasn’t our first chat on the podcast, as Jennifer was a previous guest but I noticed a few changes with her holistic beauty business and was eager to find out more.
