Hi amazing folks! We’re back and better than never! We wanted to update you on where we been ? What has changed ? And what to come from us! Also introducing our newest co-host and her story! If you’re a new listener please check out our small business @thriftedfeels and @shopluvintage

Mary and Dom sit down to discuss the differences and overlaps of sustainability and ethical fashion. Can you have sustainability without also being ethical? What even is the difference? It might be a trickier question than you think.

Dom & Mary continue their conversation on Protest Fashion in this minisode that dives into the ways people "dress to protest". They talk current t-shirts of the BLM movement, riotous moments on the red carpet, and more. Enjoy and share your own protest fashion with us! https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-protest-safely-surveillance-digital-privacy/ 

Humans have been protesting for as long as we can remember, and we don’t have plans of stopping anytime soon. There are so many important ways to protest; one of the biggest is with our bodies and what we wear. So today, Dom & Mary are going to deep dive into the history of protest fashion: how we make a statement when our voices are silenced. And there’s a lot to unpack! We hope you enjoy. https://www.crfashionbook.com/fashion/a32746575/protest-fashion-beret-suffragette-white-pussyhat/

In part 2 of discussing recent crises, Dom and Mary talk about the connection of the Texas crisis to our general water crisis. They reflect on how their relationship to water is shaped by their recent experiences, as well as their long-term goals of deepening their connection to water.

Dom and Mary sit down and dive deep into the events of Texas's winter storm that swept through the state in February. The two connect how climate change and social injustices led to millions of people being without power, heat, or water throughout the Lone Star State, and reflect upon how living through this moment has informed how they think and act moving forward. 

On this episode of Thrifting Minds, we sit down with one of our most favorite interviewees to date: our very own Dom! We dive into the ins and outs of how Dom has grown her brand (Thrifted Feels), where she gathers her inspiration, what advice she might have for other entrepreneurs, and more....  We hope you enjoy and feel inspired!
