This week’s guest talks to us about all things FASHUN (fashion for the layman). Mel Chia, buyer/consultant for luxury brands joins us to discuss females in fashion, insights into the industry, are trends really a thing; she breaks some of the stigma about the fashion world that “Devil Wears Prada” gave us. Tune in to hear from someone who has actually been to Fashion Week's around the world, and yes, they are as cool as you’d think, but it's also a grind! We also talk (new) Batman, because obvi! We touch on last week’s ep and why we just feel bad for bitter boys! Follow us @herspective_podcast 

Make women great again! Yes you read that right, that is the slogan for the 22 Convention, an event created by the founder of the Manosphere; Anthony "Dream" Johnson, along side his extreme, right-winged, power seeking cronies. An event so ridiculous that it is almost unbelievable, in fact we still aren't sure if we believe it. The purpose of the event is to "make women great again," by having a panel of MEN tell women how to become, well great, again, while attempting to dismantle feminism. There's just so much to unpack here! Listen in while we break down the reasons why an all male convention speaking to women about how to improve their femininity is a terrible idea, and far more detrimental to bettering our species than helpful. We also talk Lauren’s embarrassing first week stories at her new gig, as well as  pooping at the office.

"What is the meaning of life, why did I spend $15 on that specialty donut last year I could really use that money right now...." We have all been there, lying awake at 3am plagued with thoughts of that amazing shirt that seemed to have just vanished, or how when you're in the shower you come up with the best comebacks ever! On this episode we chat about all kinds of randomness that keeps us up at night or in full conversation with ourselves in the shower. We know you will relate to this episode in a big way. We also get controversial just to make it interesting....Enjoy!

"She started from the bottom now she here..." and by the bottom we mean the bottom of a house, the basement. And by here, we mean running a wildly successful multi-million dollar lash business. Award winning CEO and Founder of Sugarlash Pro, Courtney Buhler is the epitome of an inspiring and relatable boss babe! She talks entrepreneurship, motherhood, work-life balance, and how a little grit can take you a long way! We also introduce a fun new segment after the talk with Courtney called “Ride or Die,” where we share hilarious listener stories of how they knew a friend was Ride or Die or Ride or Cry. 

It's not too late and you are not too old! We are joined by the ultra inspiring Natalie James, Founder and Owner of Vent Blow Dry Bar in Toronto. She shares her story of how a personal struggle from birth motivated her to follow her dreams and build a space for all women to come to be pampered, practice self-care, build confidence and "vent." Her story is one of realization, courage, tragedy and self-acceptance, all of which played a part in helping her pursue her passion and embark on a journey of entrepreneurship. Lauren fact checks Jess and we give our two-cents on the firing of Canadian legend Don Cherry and cancel culture. Enjoy!
