With Whit

I absolutely loved talking to Emily Didonato, model, entrepreneur, influencer, content creator and YouTuber! You’ve probably seen her on the cover of soooo many major magazine covers, but now she has pivoted her career into the skincare industry. She is the co-founder of Covey Skincare which launched last year! It consists of three essential products that are simple to understand and easy to use both day and night. (HIGHLY RECOMMEND!) In addition to talking about all things skincare, we dive deep into body positivity, pregnancy and comparing ourselves to others. Emily will charm you like she did me.

Currently on my September month long trip! Last week, we were in Chicago with Jadie and crew, and now we are in New York with Timmy’s family!

Since launching COZeCO this year, I have learned so much about marketing, direct to consumer business and general brand building. However, along with all this new knowledge comes a lot more questions! I sat down with Allie Francis, the Chief Marketing Officer for SuperOrdinary, to talk about tips and insights for running a successful marketing campaign and building a new business. SuperOrdinary is a global distribution partner and brand accelerator facilitating sustainable global expansion for amazing brands that I happen to LOVE including OUAI, Olaplex, Drunk Elephant, The Ordinary, Joanna Vargas, Biossance, and more.

She specializes in evolving traditional marketing strategies into consumer-centric approaches to drive brand awareness and engagement on a global scale. This episode is brought to you by Arrae.

I am so grateful to be connected with so many empowering and talented women in this industry. I went into this podcast interview feeling overwhelmed and ready for a vacation. I walked away inspired and driven to make adjustments in daily work life. Chriselle Lim is considered one of the pioneers in digital fashion content, starting her YouTube Channel and website, The Chriselle Factor, in 2011 from her college dorm room. We talk about the reality that creating unique content every day is a lot to ask, and we need to be ok with the fact that there are lulls in inspiration. Additionally, we discuss the power of slowing down, not being reactionary and saying no to the constant asks from others. Chriselle is also the co-founder of Bümo, which is an early childhood education platform; she is passionate about finding a modern solution for millennial parents, and specifically working mothers. During the pandemic she started Bümo Brain, helping parents educate their children virtually in the pandemic.

I can’t believe we are in the second half of 2021 already. So much has happened, yet I cannot keep up with the time because I am constantly go, go, go, go. All that being said, I really wanted to carve out some time to reflect on this year so far and think about what I want my intentions and mindset to be for the remainder of it. It only seemed right to involve y’all in this thought process! I covered two major topics in this episode - my personal/mental health journey and motherhood this year. I walked you through what I’ve accomplished that I’m most proud of and my new goals! I really encourage you all to try this for yourselves. As always, I discovered new things about myself as I did this plus felt like I had my own productive therapy session. P.S. DM me your oatmeal recipes (not sludgy...textures...) and parenting books you love on IG xo Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As a creative and entrepreneur, I value talking to others working in this industry. I think it is so key to learn from one another - not to compete but more so to lift each other up in an effort to grow our businesses. Claire Tregoning and Pip Edwards join me to talk about my favorite thing - fashion. They are the founders and creative directors of P.E. Nation, one of my favorite active sportswear lifestyle brands. All of their pieces are so fresh and unique, so I was very excited to learn more about their process. We talk about the importance of looking beyond who your customer is, the struggle between staying true to your vision and using data to inform your designs, and MORE!   Claire and Pip's combined talent and vision have seen the brand grow from start-up in 2016 to wide global admiration and demand, with immediate industry recognition – taking home prestigious accolades including Best Emerging Designer at the Australian Fashion Laureate Awards in 2017, and the National Designer Award at VAMFF in 2018.  This episode is brought to you by Elemis, Bitty Baby and KiwiCo.   Elemis is the number one luxury British skincare brand that believes in “Truth in Beauty''.

Last week was an emotional one. Sonny turned four, and I missed my dad so much. My grief washed over me, and I let myself cry for the first time in a while. Feeling everything was hard, however, I know it provided growth and realization that I can take with me into this week. I spent time reflecting and focused on the steps I needed to take to get to the next moment mindfully. As I did this, I thought about self-care related episodes I shared with you in the past. I thought it would be cool to do a "Best of WITH WHIT" featuring some of my favorite tips and conversations from three previous episodes. If you have heard them before, I hope they are good reminders! If you haven't, make sure to check out the full episodes.

I am a creature of habit. At least, I try to be. I quickly came to realize during the pandemic that routines are life changing. In the morning, they can set the tone for the rest of your day and, at night, they can prepare you to leave the stressors of the day behind you and help you achieve (hopefully) a full night's sleep. In this episode, I share details of my morning and wind down routines. Plus, I share my thoughts on social media and what helps me keep my physical health in check. I really enjoy recording these solo episodes. I hope you love listening to them! Let me know what you think by leaving a review.

It’s me, again! Here to answer a lot of questions you had for me about mental health. Per the norm, talking about all of this with you was so cathartic, so thank you for asking me!! I have recently come to understand that I battle with imposter syndrome. I honestly haven’t really known what that meant, but I definitely have it. Feeling like my life was handed to me on 'The Hills' and 'The City' has made me feel like I haven’t earned my career. The reality is that 100% isn’t true. I have made the life that I have for myself with hard work and I am proud of it. During this episode, I talk about imposter syndrome, my therapy journey, mantras that help me battle my inner voice, grief, and lots more. I hope this is helpful to each of you trying to find your way! Don’t be afraid to be yourself.   This episode is brought to you by Coors Pure, Gemmist, KiwiCo and Agency.
