S2 Ep61: Top 5 Tips on How to Start a Podcast

Caitlyn Warakomski, a New Jersey native, is the creator behind the blog/instagram and now clothing line, HOW DO YOU WEAR THAT.  Her Instagram is comprised of style advice for women, , a lookbook for Caitlyn’s own personal style, and hopefully a place for others to feel inspired to push the envelope a little bit when putting together an outfit. Caitlyn also started her own clothing brand in 2020 - what started as a total accident has turned into her dream job -- designing and creating classic silhouettes with a modern touch + dash of funkiness. Making getting dressed everyday so much easier - sometimes you don't want to think about what to wear. With this in mind, HDYWT creates effortless pieces you can rely on to feel cool, confident and casually luxurious -- comfortable enough to wear all day, everyday yet cool enough to wear out.   Follow Cait: https://www.instagram.com/caitlynwarakomski Check out her brand How Do You Wear That:  https://howdoyouwearthatshop.com/ Follow The Big Move on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/thebigmovepodcast/ Follow Host Em here: https://www.instagram.com/emroberts.m/

The episode I'm sharing this week is from a live recording that took place in front of a beautiful female audience last week in NYC in collaboration with one of my favorite brands, MMLaFleur, a workwear brand that was founded on the belief that when women succeed, the world becomes a better place.  This panel really ended up being this beautiful medley of an uplifting but also very real talk on career, how we define and gauge success in a post pandemic world, moments of magic that help us feel connected, and how to better lean into our intuition and internal voice.  My 3 panelists Hitha Palepu, Kristin O'Keefe, and Olivia joan are incredible and all have these varying perspectives and stories to share.  We also hear from my dear friend and intuitive business coach Alex Caoila who opens us up with a beautiful meditation - there was really just so much magic in bringing together these women that night and I'm excited to share this with you now.  Check out M.M.LaFleur: https://mmlafleur.com/ Follow Hitha: https://www.instagram.com/hithapalepu/ Follow Kristin: https://www.instagram.com/thegirlwhosavesmoney  Follow Olivia: https://www.instagram.com/_olivia_joan_/?hl=en Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/highpriestessofbrooklyn Follow The Big Move on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/thebigmovepodcast/ Follow Host Em here: https://www.instagram.com/emroberts.m/

In 2010, Ramy Brook Sharp was looking for the perfect, sexy top to pair with her vast collection of jeans - a piece that would pair beautifully with her wide assortment of jewelry and stand the test of time, all at a contemporary price point. In her many attempts to find what she was looking for, Ramy quickly recognized a gap in the fashion space and decided to design her own; alas, the Ramy Brook brand was born. Within six months of starting Ramy Brook and hosting trunk shows around town, Sharp’s designs were picked up at Bergdorf Goodman and the rest was history. Through Ramy’s signature use of silk fabrics, lively colors, and sophisticated silhouettes, the collection is meant to be a day-to-night solution in a woman’s wardrobe. Ramy's designs are inspired by the beautiful, strong women she has admired through her life who demand a timeless, elegant and versatile wardrobe. Her clothing evokes an uplifting, happy, and playful attitude, all while highlighting the sexiness and confidence of the woman who wears it. Ramy Brook is now sold in more than 250 boutiques nationwide, including the Ramy Brook flagship store on Madison Avenue and ramybrook.com.  The brand can also be found in retailers worldwide, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus. Ramy lives in New York City with her husband Rob, two sons Kyle and Dylan, daughter Stevie, and Goldendoodle Baxter.
