Kelsey Terry is the founder of Spectrum QA—a digital testing company that employs individuals on the Autism spectrum to find bugs, threats and improvements to companies' digital products. Kelsey was a tech consultant at EVEREVE for a year and a half. The story of her company and time consulting at EVEREVE inspired me, touched me deeply and is one of my favorite HEART stories of the year! During our conversation, we discuss our own vulnerabilities (Kelsey's is fashion, mine is tech), how EVEREVE HEART values helped rewrite her fashion story, and the importance of fully embracing who we are—glitches and all—to experience the joy of work! Kelsey talks about the journey of embracing her autism, and how she is leveraging what some might perceive as a "glitch" to build a company that taps into the giftedness and greatness of people on the spectrum.

I'm so excited to introduce you to a very important member of the EVEREVE family, Karrie Helm. Karrie's eight years of leadership in our stores, both as a manager and regional director, has added incredible value to the promise of the EVEREVE brand: to deliver joy in the dressing room! I wanted to sit down and learn from Karrie because she's a woman filled with so much joy, yet I know her personal and professional journey has not always been easy. Karrie reminds me that joy is a choice and with the right mindset and attitude, everyone can find it.

In today's episode, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to learn from EVEREVE's Chief Merchandising Officer, Kristen MacVey.

Of course, we also talk fall fashion—you are going to love getting the inside scoop on the exciting new product arriving in our stores this fall. Kristen is warm, smart and fashionable, and I know you're going to enjoy learning from her as much as I do.
