Today we hear from two empowered women who formed a powerful friendship over 8 years ago, and how the differences in their histories ignited a powerful story. Katie & Jessica sat down with Jessica Goudeau of Hill Tribers, a group of Burmese refugee artisans who created jewelry right here in Austin; and Heh Ler Paw, who is one of Noonday’s Home Office employees and former Hill Tribers artisan. Take a listen to hear Heh Ler’s inspiring story of hard work, resiliency, and how her dreams for herself came to life – and how each of us plays a role in empowering the women around us, much like Jessica Goudeau.

This week, Katie sits down with Jessica Honegger, founder & CEO of Noonday Collection; Laura Morton, Creative Director; and Tamar Aklilu, Manager of Sourcing and Production. We’ll hear the entire journey of how our work with Kenya started and came to life, as well as some of the inspiring stories of the artisans running these businesses.

In a very special episode of #YouMatter, Jessica sits down with her therapist Kathleen to talk about a very personal journey that many of us relate to on some level: what it means to be a woman facing society’s definition of beauty. Listen in to hear some life-giving words from someone who pours into Jessica on a regular basis – and to hear how even through our struggles, we are connected.

On this episode, Katie sits down with two Home Office team members! You’ll hear from Ana on Creative Services and Abbey on the Accounting team – we’re so excited to let you hear from two of our own you may not yet know.

This week, we hear from four Ambassador friends (Jessica, Shari, Andrea, and Katie) about how community is so needed. And, we hear from Ambassador Jennifer Jensen and her hostess Alicia as they remind us how connected we really are.

Katie & Jenna sit down this week to share the stories behind some of the top selling Spring items, which is a sneak peek for our community for what is performing best! Share these stories with your community and at your trunk show. And, keep listening to hear some fun moments at Shine about the line, and for an impactful reminder from Jessica about the power of beauty.

This week, we sat down with Jessica to reflect on where we get stuck, how to overcome those thoughts, and our excitement for 2016! We hope this episode leaves you encouraged and excited for what’s to come!

This week, we want to bring you back to Shine 2016 in Austin, Texas! You’ll hear from Jessica & the design team, our artisan partner visitors, and one more very special guest. We have a feeling you’ll walk away with a fresh reminder of exactly why you matter so much!

We are back with the first episode of 2016! This week, Johanna gives us a deeper look into how our Indian partners are organized, their specialities, a sneak peek at the Spring 2016 line, and an exclusive India shopping guide! Get pumped up for Shine as well – our very own Jennifer Frey shares her excitement about conference.

On this very special episode of #YouMatter, we turn to our community to hear their stories. Listen in to hear from Ambassadors in your community share how the importance of jobs has shifted their perspective, how they’ve seen our connection to one another, and how they’ve learned that they do truly matter. Be encouraged this holiday that you are in the company of incredible women – thank you for saying yes to Noonday!
