What if swimsuit shopping did not feel like a nightmare, but like possibility?

In this joyful and honest episode of The Hurray Show, Kimmay is joined by Deb and Laurel, the mother-daughter duo behind Siren + Sage Swim.

What started as a deeply personal struggle, including duct-taped sports bras, impossible triangle bikinis, and feeling left out as a teen, turned into a thoughtful, supportive swimwear brand built from the ground up.

Laurel grew up with a 34H chest by freshman year and remembers how vulnerable swimsuit shopping felt. Instead of telling her to deal with it, her mom, Deb, found a seamstress and created a custom bikini top that finally fit. That moment of relief became the seed for something bigger. Years later, after becoming a mom herself and struggling to find a supportive and stylish one-piece, they asked a simple question. What if we stopped expecting one swimsuit to do everything?

The answer became their signature innovation, the Overkini, a layered one-piece designed to be worn over a bra-sized bikini top. The lift and structure of a bra. The coverage of a one-piece. The flexibility of mix and match styling.Thus, Siren + Sage was born. And honestly, it’s genius!

Watch the full episode as they share what it really takes to bring a product from idea to reality and how working together works for them. This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, collaboration, motherhood, body image, and designing something thoughtful so women can feel free.

If you have ever struggled with swimsuit shopping, longed for more support, or dreamed of building something meaningful with someone you love, this one is for you.

Key Takeaways:

●Support is non-negotiable. From duct-taped sports bras to bra-engineered bikini tops with 34 precise measurements, this design was built to hold you, literally and emotionally.

●You can be both a Siren + be Sage. Confident and wise. Glamorous and grounded. You do not have to choose one identity.

●Entrepreneurship takes time. What looks effortless online took three years of fittings, refinements, sourcing, and collaboration behind the scenes.

●Coverage equals choice. Feeling confident does not mean showing everything. It means having options and deciding what feels right for you.

●Plus, a takeaway from Kimmay’s years in the fitting room on how mothers and daughters deal with body image and support challenges together.

Hurray. In this deeply personal solo episode of The Hurray Show, host Kimmay Caldwell opens up about her recent IVF experience and the surprising, messy, and even sparkly lessons her recent grief has taught her.

From celebrating her wedding anniversary while grieving, to showing up at Curve and QVC in the midst of heartbreak, Kimmay shares honestly about what it means to take care of yourself when life doesn’t go as planned. With raw stories (yes, including crying while covered in glitter and taping her boobs!) and grounding reminders from scripture, this episode invites you to stop comparing your grief and instead, to allow yourself to feel it.

Because grief, like glitter, lingers. And if you let it, it can also remind you of the depth of your love — and even reveal glimmers of God’s comfort and guidance along the way.

Key Takeaways

Grief is like glitter. It shows up when you least expect it, clings to everything, and is hard to fully sweep away. But it also reminds you of something (or someone) you loved.

The only cure for grief is to grieve. Don’t compare or minimize your pain. Your grief is valid and deserves space.

Happiness and sadness are both sacred. Feeling both allows you to live fully and see beauty even in heartache.

Support is love. Sometimes intimacy with friends looks like letting them pick you up and sit with you in the ache.

God shows up in grief. Scripture offers comfort and reminds us that mourning is met with divine presence.

Hurray! In this episode of The Hurray Show, host Kimmay Caldwell is joined by life coach, podcaster, and truth-teller Amanda Lipnack for an honest conversation about mid-life awakenings, messy emotions, and what it means to start a “second act.”

Amanda knows firsthand what it feels like to “check all the boxes” and still feel deeply unfulfilled. At 40, in the midst of her second divorce, she found herself numb, sad, and convinced she wasn’t worthy of love or joy. But by finally allowing herself to feel the sadness she had been running from, Amanda discovered something surprising: grief created space for joy.Together, Kimmay and Amanda explore how feeling the full spectrum of emotions—sadness, joy, fear, hope—can open the door to authenticity, healing, and a life that feels real (because it is!). They also dig into the myths of mid-life, why menopause might just be “cougar puberty,” and how to build boundaries that keep you safe while still letting love and connection in.This episode is a compassionate reminder that even if your life doesn’t look the way you thought it would, change is possible - and you are absolutely worth it.Key Takeaways:The “Second Act” is possible. Life doesn’t end at 40 (or 50, or 60). If what you’ve been doing isn’t working, you can rewrite the script.Feel the full spectrum. Sadness isn’t the enemy - allowing grief creates space for joy to flourish.Authenticity outweighs approval. Hear Amanda’s advice on how to worry less about what others think, and why it is freeing, even if it feels scary at first.Boundaries are self-care. Not everyone gets full access to your heart. Kimmay and Amanda discuss the “Hurray House” method for letting the right people in.You are worthy of change. Therapy, coaching, books, and community can all support you, but the first step is deciding you’re worth the work.Mentioned in this Episode:Brené Brown – Atlas of the Heart Elizabeth Lesser – Broken OpenAugusten Burroughs – This Is How & Running With ScissorsThe Hurray Show S1: E3 – How to Anti-Airbrush Your LifeTom Boy X UnderwearGet in touch with Amanda Lipnack-Radel at:Amanda Lipnack Coaching: amandalipnack.comInstagram: @amandalipnack & @alrcoachingFacebook: Amanda Lipnack CoachingPodcast: Little Miss RecapAll that and more on this episode of The Hurray Show.

Let’s get real about numbers and how they’ve shaped (and sometimes shaken) the we see ourselves. From bra sizes to bank accounts, weight to relationship status, we carry a lot of stories about what those numbers mean. Now, it’s time to redefine your worth.

Kimmay Caldwell, bra fitter and media company owner, shares the story behind the More Than My Numbers campaign: why she started it, how she funded it herself when no one else would, and what it taught her about self-worth. She will share how wrapping the measuring tape around other people in a bra fitting room for over 20 years, gave her a front row seat to people’s inner narratives. And how watching them break down over a size tag showed her just how deeply we’ve all been impacted by a culture obsessed with measurement.

If you’ve ever felt defined by a number or avoided them altogether, this episode is a reminder that your worth was never meant to be calculated. Your size, salary, age, or GPA can change. But your value? That’s unshakable.

Key Takeaways:

●      Numbers Are Not Your Identity: From bra sizes to credit scores, Kimmay invites you to see numbers as neutral data not a definition of your worth.

●      Why the Numbers Still Matter: Ignoring your size doesn’t protect your worth, it blocks your comfort. Learn how knowing your numbers can be an act of care, not shame.

●      The Power of the Campaign: Learn how More Than My Numbers started as a DIY photo shoot and turned into a global movement that’s still changing lives today.

Notable Quotes:

“Your size is a starting point for support, not a verdict on your value.”

“You can know your number and still know your power.”

“I am not defined by a damn decimal.”

In this heart-opening follow-up episode, we’re going even deeper with body image educator and photographer, Teri Hofford. This time, we get into the behind-the-scenes magic of Body Image Bootcamp and more. Together, we unpack how understanding your unique inner strengths can shift how you see your body, how oxytocin (even from snuggling your pet!) supports healing, and why rewriting what success means can feel like a breath of fresh air. In this conversation with one of my personal mentors, we’re talking about the squidgy, tender stuff like the thoughts that come up when we’re feeling too much, not enough, or just totally undone. Expect laughs, tears, and a few big “aha” moments as we peel back the layers and reconnect with our truest selves. Whether you’ve done body image work before or you’re just getting started, this episode will remind you that your body is not the enemy, your journey is valid, and healing is possible.

●      You Are Enough: Ever been told you're too much? We unpack how that message lives in our bodies and what it really says about our self-worth.

●      Untold Stories from Mexico: From last-minute wedding invites to a stranger’s wedding in Mexico to raw, tearful moments on a retreat (that ended in matching tattoos!), Kimmay shares the very real, very human emotions that come up when we do deep inner work and lean into our strengths. 

●      The Real Deal on Retreats: Kimmay gets vulnerable about what really ran through her mind on retreat, and she and Teri open up about making room for those unfiltered human moments.

In this episode of The Hurray Show, we’re talking about all things body image and the real, messy, beautiful journey of learning to see yourself with more compassion and curiosity. We sat down with body image educator and photographer, Teri Hofford, to unpack the uncomfortable, but necessary, journey toward self-acceptance. Teri shares her personal story, explains her signature ACE Method, and tells us how leaning into discomfort, or what she calls “squidginess”, can lead to the sacred invitation to grow.

If you’ve struggled with body image or want to create more supportive spaces around it, this one’s for you. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing your body image isn’t linear or perfect and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're just starting to untangle old beliefs or you're deep in the work, the hope is that this conversation feels like a deep breath and a nudge forward.

Key Takeways:

●      Seeing Body Image Differently: Teri breaks down what body image really is and how it’s not about your body, but your beliefs about your body and your whole self. Learn how to identify and challenge your own body image biases.

●      Body Image Isn’t Linear: Teri shares why moving from self-criticism to body neutrality using the ACE Method, not just body love, might be the next right step for you, especially when love feels out of reach. 

●      The Power of Squidginess: Learn why that discomfort, awkward feeling (aka "squidge") is actually a powerful sign that growth is happening.

●      You Are Not Alone: If you’ve struggled to accept your reflection, this conversation offers validation, tools, and hope.

Tools & Resources Mentioned:

●      Body Image Bootcamp – Teri’s powerful program designed to help you unlearn harmful body beliefs and rebuild your self-image with compassion, curiosity, and confidence. https://bibcgonewild.com/

●      The ACE Method – Teri’s signature three-part approach for shifting body image beliefs: Awareness, Curiosity, and Empowered Action.
