Today’s episode is with Maura Hampton, the owner and curator of Ethical Bodies, which specializes in vintage and pre-loved clothing for sizes XL-4XL+. 

I met Maura at the May’s Night Market in St. Louis, and was so drawn to her booths bold patterns, bright colors, and statement pieces, but she also carries plenty of quality classics, and just pieces that will forever be in style. 

On this week’s episode, we chat about Maura's love of thrifting and her mission to bring sustainable clothing options to everyone – and make them feel fabulous while she’s doing it!

All this and more in today’s episode,  so let’s just dive right in!
