Naturally Blabby

Have you ever walked into a hotel room only to realize the bathroom doesn’t have a door? You’re not alone, and it’s not an accident. It’s a cost-saving business strategy.

In this episode of Naturally Blabby, hosts Tracey Anarella and Denise Tomkinson sit down with Sadie Lowell, founder of bringbackdoors.com, a consumer transparency movement featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Guardian.

After booking a twin-bed hotel room in London with her dad and discovering zero bathroom privacy, Sadie turned her frustration into a global movement. Sadie breaks down why hotel designers are removing doors (from saving room square footage to forcing travelers to book separate rooms), how hotels commodify basic privacy, why consumers need to stop feeling like a "Karen" for speaking up against shrinking standards and how she uses digital marketing tactics like UTM tags to become a thorn in the side of major hotel chains.
