E014: How to be Cool & Thoughtful and Fabulously Vintage - a Girltalk with TedX Speaker Kerrin Smith
How do we react when we realize that we may not be as healthy as we thought? When is a habit becoming obsessive, and how can we change our ways of being in order to take care of ourselves in better ways? In today’s girl talk with life philosopher, TEDx Speaker, and total babe Kerrin Smith, we talk about everything the Universe has brought to our attention right now. We also discuss the meaning of the word empathy, and how it’s so different to rebel against something bad opposed to standing for something good, even though the underlying cause may be the same. Kerrin Smith is the founder COOL AND THOUGHTFUL™ and its predecessor CATiD LLC, a passion project with the mission to redefine what it means to be cool. In 2014 she delivered a TEDx talk, The Local Economy of Fashion, and she's all about making that vintage chic look feel just right. If you're in NYC and see a girl wearing sneakers with colorful ribbons, that might just be her!
