| Why is it so hard to wear what we already have (instead of shopping)? | 19 Sep 2023 | 00:31:43 | |
Seriously though, WHY? There is a lot of psychology behind why we are wired for newness, novelty, and that inevitable dopamine hit that we get when we buy something new. And although we know that overconsumption isn’t good for us or the planet, it’s really hard to stop. In today’s episode, we go into some of the lessons we’ve learned about reframing the way we see shopping and rewiring our brains to be satisfied with what we already have.

| Are we in a slow fashion recession? The downfall of the slow fashion brand & how they are being set up to fail. | 23 Jul 2024 | 00:33:59 | |
In this episode, we talk about why slow fashion brands struggle and often close down. Consumers usually go for price over sustainability, which makes it hard for ethical brands to compete with fast fashion. We discuss how advertising and social media drive our constant need for new clothes, and the allure of 'cheap dopamine'—a quick thrill that's addictive but unsustainable. We delve into how our personal mindset and actions are crucial to support slow fashion — it's about buying consciously, aligning purchases with our values, and pushing brands to prioritize sustainability. We also cover recycling challenges and the shared responsibility between individuals and systems.
