I admit, I am in denial that I will ever be going through menopause (I’m sure many women are). I don’t want to think about yet another life change. I just had my kids. And maybe that’s the problem. As a society we are pretending that these issues don’t exist, resulting in a lack of representation and systems that reflect women’s needs at different life stages. We still prize youth in women and don’t see enough models of what life looks like as you age. My guest today is a trailblazer who is rewriting the narrative and proving that you don’t need to be 30 under 30 to overcome addictions, battle self-hate AND start a new business. Tune in if you want to be seriously inspired about carving out your own path and doing it on your own terms.

In this short clip, I’m revisiting my conversation with Stuart Trevor, the founder of AllSaints. I ask Stuart what the early days of AllSaints were like, from the strategies he used to expand the store, to connecting with younger demographics, as well as why he decided to sell the business. If you’re a fan of the AllSaints brand and want to peek behind the scenes of an iconic British brand, are looking for insights into expanding your own brand, or are thinking about selling, then tune in!
