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.
