Queer Women Rising® with The Luxury Lesbian™ Matchmaker, Sophia Spallino

So you’re at the top of your game, but your outfits aren’t... Don't worry -- Nicole Russo is here to free you from the stress of getting dressed, help you develop personal style, and feel good about the way you look! It's not you; it's the pants!

This show's guest is my friend, Nicole Russo. She is the founder of "Let’s Get You," a private stylist & personal shopper service.  In less than a decade, Nicole styled hundreds of people, sat front row at NYFW, spent over four years working at luxury powerhouse NET-A-PORTER, and was featured in Fast Company, Martha Stuart, Glam, and Women's Health. Nicole's on a mission to help people dress better without the bullshit. In less time than a flight to Asia, her clients have a complete wardrobe that feels as good as it looks. Fashion is complicated, but she makes it simple and easy for you! Today she tells me how she does this incredible job of making women feel beautiful! We also talk about a few controversial topics in the fashion industry. Don't come for her, as the controversial statements come from my mouth. And as a business owner who understands the costs of production, and as a fashion merchandising graduate, I understand why big brands do what they do (spoiler alert, typically for profit rather than doing the ethical thing). Therefore, the things we as consumers perceive as ethical, like green fashion or size inclusivity, are often changes made to increase the bottomline, and sadly not because those companies actually care. 

Today’s show covers topics like:

How Nicole climbed the fashion industry ladder as a stylist

From working for brands to building her own business

How style can be a powerful mindset tool

What is a stylist and would it be helpful for you?

Defining your personal style and revamping your wardrobe

How to dress for your body type loving what flatters you

Why investing in your wardrobe quality is better than quantity

How vanity sizing makes us feel and why

How sizing inclusivity is both a great movement and a marketing scam

Why buying designer dupes is unethical and lying to the world

Let's take an honest look at the entrepreneurial journey with my boyfriend, Robert Croak, creator of Sanitizer Bracelets™ & Sillybandz! How did my boyfriend get to where he is today? What tips does he have to help you grow? I am so excited to have my man, who is my personal business coach, world-renowned entrepreneur and product development consultant on Enlightened!

Robert J. Croak is a highly recognized entrepreneur due to the wildly successful Sillybandz brand that he created. Robert’s journey started out with his lower-class upbringing in the Eastside of Toledo, Ohio in a broken home. His childhood was turbulent, as the divorce of his parents created a life of instability through his teenage years; but regardless of heart-wrenching setbacks, he never lost focus of his dreams. Much of Robert’s post-college career was spent in the automotive business where he was a salesman and quickly moved up to finance manager. But after a few years pursuing a nine to five career, Robert realized very early on that the entrepreneurial path was his destiny.

At the young age of 22-years-old Robert made his first full-time jump into owning his own business, the first of many. With a love for music and the unfortunate passing of his grandmother, Robert had the opportunity to purchase the family bar and restaurant “Frankie’s” made famous by his Grandfather, and keep the legacy alive. Throughout the years, he continued to open more bars and restaurants, and his passion for the business only grew.

Although Robert had a nice run through the 1990s and into 2000s, he had a longing to expand into his true passion of inventing and branding. In 2003, the company progressed very swiftly, and with this growth came a world of opportunities. Many people assume Sillybandz was an instant hit, but that is far from the truth. It was a slow build, but his little idea was about to be the biggest bracelet trend the world had ever seen.

Robert’s little Toledo, Ohio company was catapulted into the limelight and went from twelve employees to over 300 in a matter of months. During this time of trying to efficiently scale the craze, Robert was working 18 hours a day, seven days a week. Sillybandz partnered with the Kardashians, Justin Beiber, Hello Kitty, Barbie, and more for exclusively licensed bracelets.

Thanks to the whirlwind fame, Robert has since been featured on “How I Made My Millions,” Bloomberg, CNN, MTV’s Made, as well as countless other TV shows and news features. After 2012, the blaze of the Sillybandz trend cooled off and Robert has continued inventing, investing, and launching many new products and brands.

For eight years, Robert had fun creating without thinking much about the bracelets that made his name. However, in 2019 with the rise of influencers who are now the young adults who wore Sillybandz in their childhoods, Sillybandz is making a comeback. With over 1.6 Million Facebook fans, thousands of Google searches, millions of social media users hashtagging the nostalgic accessories, the Sillybandz craze is becoming a worldwide trend once again, bringing back so many precious memories for the 2000s generation that the bracelets are now worn by both children and adults.

Curious if your man would be loyal if a hottie slid into his DMs? With Tassanee, you don't have to wonder if your man would cheat! Let's hear from the girl going viral for EXPOSING CHEATERS & giving women the confirmation they need to leave disloyal men.

I am so excited to have my new friend and fellow relationship influencer, @DrayIsBae of TikTok, on the show!

At the beginning of quarantine, Tassanee uploaded a video on TikTok exposing a cheating man she catfished so that her friend could have receipts of her boyfriend's infidelity, which gave her the courage and "proof" she needed to leave a man who had gaslit her over and over again. That video went viral. Turns out girls around the world aren't feeling so secure in their relationships and call upon Tassanee to slide in the DMs, tempt their boyfriends, and report back if their man passed the loyalty test or failed.

Today’s show covers topics like:

Why women hire this "cheater checker"

Catfishing and exposing cheating partners

Do cheaters ever change?

Leaving narcissistic, manipulative liars

What constitutes cheating?

Statistics of cheaters vs. loyal men

Knowing your worth and boundaries in relationships

What does love actually fee like vs. anxiety/fear of cheating

Monetizing your gifts

Building a business using TikTok

Curious what the Christian music industry is REALLY LIKE? Never quite fit into Christian culture? You little rebel, you. Allow me & my guest, Lauren DeLeary, to hold space for us to question everything about evangelicalism & discuss deconstruction & reconstruction.

I am so excited to have my dear friend and fellow spiritual influencer, Lauren DeLeary, on Enlightened the podcast.

Lauren is an artist and creator. She writes about her human experience as a spiritual being. Since leaving the Christian Music industry, she has deconstructed her faith and taken her audience on this journey through her podcast, DECONSTRUCT, which she co-hosts with her husband, Adam. She is passionate about researching and respecting many world-views, as well as exploring her own Native American culture and spirituality. 

Today’s show covers topics like:

The "dark side" of the Christian music industry

How women are sexualized and policed in Christian culture

How purity culture effected us and other women 

Going from evangelicalism to progressive Christianity to spiritual fluidity

How podcasting helps us heal and process our religious trauma

Decolonization and why it matters today

Brown lives matter, so why are indigenous women missing?

What deconstruction and reconstruction of faith looks like
