Jennifer Bandier on Founding BANDIER, Believing in Yourself & Trials with IVF

I’ve been shopping at BANDIER for YEARS!! You know this if you shop my stories and website :) I jumped at the chance to speak with its founder, Jennifer Bandier. We chatted about the realities of building a business from the ground up, the power truly believing in yourself can have, and the trials she dealt with going through IVF.   BANDIER is a luxury, multi-brand, activewear retailer known for its premium selection of active and after-wear. It was only after a major foot injury that the idea for a multi-brand activewear store emerged, as Jennifer noticed a lack of such shops within walking distance—none of which carried the sort of elevated fitness apparel she was searching for. She opened the first BANDIER brick-and-mortar in Southampton the following summer of 2014. BANDIER is headquartered in New York, NY with store locations in New York and Texas, and Melrose in Los Angeles, as well as an e-commerce shop with global distribution.         This episode is brought to you by Macy’s, Perelel, Ettitude, and ThirdLove.   Macy’s has got everything you need to show off the newest version of you this spring.

Timmy & I's Travel Tell-All: TSA Drama, Toiletries, & Trips vs. Vacations

Ugh, just thank gosh for Timmy and him being my co-host this week. We went on a trip to Florida to get away and see some family. We hit Miami, Palm Beach and the Keys. I love, love, love traveling and could do it constantly, especially to the water. Salt air, oceans, food, weather, the spontaneity - I just love it. However, there is a big difference between a true vacation and traveling with a toddler, which we classify as a trip. In this vacay recap, we shared how we dealt with the ups and downs of traveling with a kid, our favorite moments, TSA drams and packing tips. PLUS, I give you (and Tim) an update on where we are with IVF, AND we digress into a side conversation about our thoughts on plastic surgery- we don’t always agree but tune in. It’s fun. Also, don’t forget to head to whitneyport.com/florida-trip-2022 for a post on everything I wore, used and loved while traveling.

My Fertility Journey: Testing, Hormones, IVF, & the Costs to Make it All Happen

Thank you all so much for your unwavering support during this journey! Sharing a lot of very personal information can be really difficult at times especially when it’s the result of feeling pressure. In this instance, I feel very in control of what I am putting out there as I’m choosing when and how I want to share. I really wanted to record a couple of episodes about my specific fertility journey. I wish I had something like this to reference when I started the process. I hope this is helpful to those considering having kids or about to start looking into fertility. In this episode, I covered the details of testing I did to gear myself up for IVF, how all of the hormones affected me, what stage I’m at in IVF and the personal and financial costs this all has. I will continue next week with more on this journey!         This episode is brought to you by Modern Fertility, Macy's, Perelel, and ettitude.   Modern Fertility is offering our listeners $20 off a test when you go to ModernFertility.com/withwhit. That means your test will cost $139 instead of the several hundred or even a thousand plus dollars it could cost at a doctor’s office.   If you have very important plans to laze in the sun, then get your vacay necessities at Macy’s.
