Elisabeth Huijskens: Dreaming Without Boundaries, Overcoming Self-Doubt, and Extreme Feminism

In this episode, Elizabeth Huijskens discusses the role she plays as co-founder and brand manager of Trades of Hope, an ethical fashion brand focused on creating job opportunities for women around the world. During the conversation, we talked about how Trades of Hope came into being and what it’s like running a business that impacts so many lives and has such deep emotional investment and we also learned about how Elisabeth balances all of her roles because apart from being a co-founder and Chief Brand Officer for Trades of hope, Elisaebeth is also a highly sought after coach and mentor.
We dove into what it is like for Elisabeth to work with and so assiduously promote women from underserved communities and at the same time, coach budding entrepreneurs who may have completely different world view and a different level of privilege. We talk about what it takes to emotionally balance high intensity roles, remain confident in moments of crisis, find strength in our vulnerabilities, and how having your baby picture on display can be a total game changer.
Elisabeth is the co-founder and chief brand officer of Trades of Hope, a multi-million dollar ethical fashion brand globally creating job opportunities for women to lead their families out of poverty and human trafficking. She is a highly sought after coach and mentor, having served more than 350 women internationally to help them reach their definitions of success. She has earned her MA in Strategic Communications for Social Change and Advocacy at American University in Washington D.C., worked in the U.S. Embassy in London, has grown an organic following of 60k across multiple social media platforms, and splits her year living between Florida and London.

Allyn Rose: From Self-Acceptance to Cultivating Conviction, What It Takes to Build an Intentional & Authentic Life

In this episode, I interviews Allyn Rose, a breast cancer advocate, motivational speaker, IVF mom and advocate, author and content creator. 
Allyn’s story and how she has approached the good and bad in her life are a testament to the power of conviction and self-belief. In this conversation, we talked about Allyn’s journey from being a contestant on a beauty peagent to making this life altering decision of removing her breasts and all the challenges that came along. We learn from Allyn how to maintain a healthy perspective around your appearance especially if you don’t quite like what you see in the mirror and how to not let it dictate any of the choices you make in life. We also talk about how to protect yourself against external negativity as you share pieces of yourself on the internet, creating online personas and not letting any of it overshadow the work that you do, and so much more.
As a 24-year-old Miss America contestant, Allyn made headlines across the globe with the controversial decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy after losing her mother, grandmother and great aunt to breast cancer.  Determined to encourage other women to know that their scars are beautiful, Allyn boldly became the first woman with a mastectomy to model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Allyn is the founder of The Previvor, a 501(c)(3) non profit women's health platform, which serves as a resource for women undergoing mastectomy. She is also the creator of the #SelfExamGram, a social media movement teaching women the proper way to perform a monthly self breast exam. Allyn continues to work as an advocate and contributor on several national media outlets.
