This week, we’re joined by Emily Westenberger, founder and designer behind Emily Westenberger The Label, a luxury slow fashion brand built on storytelling, authenticity, and heart. From studying fashion merchandising to working in Los Angeles and completing an accelerated design program at FIDM, Emily's journey has been anything but linear—but it’s that winding path that fuels her creative magic.

In this episode, we chat about how Emily infuses her collections with meaning, what it’s like to be hands-on through every step of the design process, and why taking the leap to go full-time with her brand felt both scary and absolutely right.

🎧 Listen in to hear about:

• Emily’s cross-country creative journey—from LA to New York to Charleston
• How she launched her brand during the pandemic and found her footing in fashion
• The power of designing with personal stories and seasons in mind
• Why professional development retreats (like The Founders Society and Layover) have been game-changers for her mindset and business
• What it means to fully show up, stay curious, and bet on yourself

Emily’s energy is warm, curious, and magnetic—and her insights on navigating creative entrepreneurship will inspire you to reconnect with your purpose, embrace your story, and maybe even say yes to that next big leap.
