Babba grew up as a Latin American immigrant in the homogenous country like Sweden, where she never found herself represented in mainstream media and the products she consumed. Hair and beauty has always been a central part of her culture as her father was a hairdresser and had set up a hairdresser chair equipped with a styling mirror and product cart in her childhood living room. Determined to create a different future for herself than the one of her parents, she embarked on a journey of her own. She moved out of home at the age of 18, was the first in her family to get a degree, joined the tech industry as one of few women and eventually relocated to the U.S. for work.

Suzie Kondi sailed into New York Harbor from Australia after 13 months at sea on a 46’ sailboat and has since recreated the environment of her upbringing through her eponymous brand. Having grown up in the folds of her mother’s fabric store, Suzie naturally funneled her personal heritage into the texture of her line by melding her worlds of beachy bohemia and downtown sophistication in a range of elegantly easy and incredibly versatile day-to-night pieces. She launched her first brand, Toast, in 2001 and was carried in over 150 retailers including Harvey Nichols, Harrods, and Saks. Her signature bohemian aesthetic helped define a moment in style and, with her namesake label, she returns to offer a new take on uniform dressing with a sense of joy and color.

Beginning with a pair of high-rise, bell-shaped pants in cotton velour and a matching sweatshirt, crafted for herself, Suzie wore the set to take her daughter to school. Other moms in the drop-off line took notice, among them Sofia Coppola, and became Kondi's first clients. In 2020, as the pandemic exploded throughout the globe, so did a focus on fashion’s burgeoning casualwear scene. Suzie Kondi’s exceedingly comfortable yet refined designs in mood-enhancing jewel hues were a perfect fit for the moment. The brand’s sales doubled, then tripled, then quadrupled. Net-a-Porter picked up her second collection, which sold out instantly. 

What started as a pop-up store in Amagansett turned into a permanent fixture, and the first Suzie Kondi retail space was born. Her second physical boutique bowed in 2022, with a location in the vibrant Dimes Square neighborhood. The collection has grown to include a range of sumptuous cashmere knits, gauzy cotton and linen separates, and accessories in addition to the velour staples that began it all, including options for women, men and children. With plans for global expansion, including a retail store in Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach and a lifestyle label in the creation, Suzie Kondi is more than a brand: it’s a spirit of getting dressed for one’s self, with comfort and style, regardless of the occasion or the hour.

After being a child of divorced parents, her dad moved moved into a condo near downtown Atlanta. The sort of complex where a lot of White Men complained about how often the pool was getting cleaned and that they should change the gate code more often for “security purposes.”

They spent most of our Thursdays and Every Other Weekends watching sports at his condo. Georgia playing Florida? They watched it. The Falcons blowing another lead? They watched it.

More importantly, she watched SportsCenter. She’d wake up early to catch the end of the 6am broadcast and watch the Top 10 Plays. Then, she’d down a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats and watch the beginning of the new 7am broadcast.

She loves sports, but she hate sports commentary. Think of Impersonal Foul as the pre-game show that you can read while having a table of men argue about plays that haven’t even happened yet.

If deep dives into Zillow listings of McMansions that NBA first-round picks just purchased sounds like your jam, welcome to Impersonal Foul.

Fluff was created in 2018 as an antidote to the current beauty industry narrative, for anyone who thinks that the world doesn't need more products, just better products, and  responsible, transparent messaging.

Fluff was founded by Erika Geraerts who has spent 10 years in the beauty industry and thinks that makeup is great, but not essential, and that the idea of skincare and makeup as a form of self expression, and taking care of oneself is a beautiful thing that should be celebrated, never exploited.

Born in Vancouver and raised in a rural, ocean-side setting just outside the city, Sasha has always been close to nature. Her younger brother and now business partner, Zac, suffered from acute asthma and allergies as a young child. Her mother, a true pioneer in health and wellness at that time, sought out homeopathic remedies to help heal her son. This included co-founding an organic food co-op with several families in the area, as organic food did not yet exist in the grocery stores. Through trial and error, Zac was healed primarily through diet, and went on to compete in sailing in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. This was an amazing accomplishment, especially after the doctors had predicted he would never be able to play sports.

Sasha’s interests fell into design, studying Typography in London and New York. She found herself in Los Angeles in 2006 and spent several years working as a branding executive within the fashion and beauty industries. After moving home to Vancouver for a brief sabbatical, her mother encouraged her to read the ingredient list on her favorite lip balm. Sasha was shocked to discover many of the ingredients were not safe, and it’s something she used daily. The challenge was set – re-create her favorite lip balm so that it would be safe, effective and natural. And so the story of ILIA begins.

Ma routine beauté a considérablement changé quand j'ai pris en considération le fait que l'aspect extérieur de notre corps est intrinsèquement lié à notre santé intérieure. C'est là que j'ai découvert le monde merveilleux du microbiote et que créer AIME est devenu une évidence.”

Formulas and skincare played an instrumental role in Thérèse M’Boungoubaya's family dynamic.

I am so thrilled to share this podcast with Anna Numerologie. As we soon enter a year “1” in numerology, this could not be more fitting. Numbers speak to us through the sacred dimension and the intrinsic energies they carry. We all unconsciously associate ideas with the symbolism of each number, often without realizing it. For example, the symbolism of the number 1 evokes the individual, beginnings, the start of a new cycle, independence. The number 2 represents partnership and union. As for the number 7, this famous 7, found in so many religious texts, structuring the seven days of the week and referring to the seven musical notes and the seven chakras, it is associated with spirituality. Anna shares her story and how she created the “Code de réalisation personnel” aka your Code of Personal Fulfillment.

If you are interested in going deeper, I definitely recommend getting a personal consultation with Anna or participating in this amazing event she is planning in January! It is an event called “2026: The Year of All Possibilities,” designed to break the year down in an ultra-detailed way so that everyone leaves with a clear, practical GPS to navigate the entire year.

Business Women in Paris est un réseau fondé par Olivia Hayoun pour répondre à un besoin concret : offrir aux femmes entrepreneures un espace d’échanges libres, de réflexion et de soutien mutuel. Initialement conçu comme un petit cercle d’amies partageant leurs expériences, le projet s’est rapidement structuré pour devenir une véritable communauté animée par une même ambition — créer des connexions fortes et favoriser la progression de chacune dans un cadre bienveillant et stimulant.

Forte d’une expérience de dix ans au sein de grands groupes du luxe, où elle a occupé des postes en achats, trade marketing et marketing opérationnel, Olivia a choisi de donner un nouveau sens à son parcours en cofondant Colette Lab, une marque de compléments alimentaires dédiée au positive-aging, inspirée de sa grand-mère.

Convaincue que l’entrepreneuriat se nourrit de rencontres et de partages, elle a imaginé Business Women in Pariscomme un lieu d’inspiration, de collaboration et de croissance collective, où chaque femme peut s’exprimer, apprendre et faire évoluer son projet aux côtés d’autres entrepreneures engagées.

Dans sa quête pour devenir maman, Amandine a traversé six fausses couches. Après de multiples consultations et traitements hormonaux, c’est un médecin qui, en approfondissant les analyses, a mis en lumière une cause trop souvent négligée. Un foie surchargé qui lui causait une résistance à l’insuline ainsi qu’une carence en vitamines liposolubles. Ces déficits, pourtant essentiel au bon fonctionnement de l’organisme, avait un impact direct sur sa fertilité. Cette révélation a profondément marqué Amandine. En tant que scientifique, elle y a vu bien plus qu’un cas personnel : un signal d’alerte sur un déséquilibre nutritionnel généralisé dans nos modes de vie modernes. Forte de sa formation en sciences biomédicales et en nutrition, elle décide alors de créer Insentials.

Journaliste, auteure et productrice, Ronith Cohen a créé des formats TV à succès, dont Belle Toute Nue, première émission body positive en France, et des documentaires et magazines de société qui ont transformé le regard sur les femmes. Elle a également dirigé des masterclasses santé et bien-être aux côtés d'experts.

Co-fondatrice de Konenki.fr, premier média dédié aux femmes de plus de 45 ans, certifiée Coach Ménopause aux États-Unis et en formation à l'École Pratique des Hautes Études en Psychopathologies, elle travaille aujourd'hui à la croisée de l'écriture, de la psychologie, de la philosophie et de la narration.

Speaker et conférencière, elle intervient en entreprise et dans des événements sur les grandes questions qui touchent les femmes : confiance, audace, leadership, invisibilité, âge et sexisme. Sa méthode : l'enquête journalistique au service d'apports théoriques solides et vérifiés. Parce qu'on n'a pas besoin de se réinventer. On a juste besoin de se lire avec justesse.

Elle accompagne aussi les femmes avec des formats originaux qu'elle a créés : les marches immersives Walk Think Feel, co-créées avec Noémie Zeitoun, avec une conférence inspirationnelle en live ; les ateliers narration pour écrire son récit et reprendre le premier rôle, ; la Fresque de la Femme de plus de 45 ans pour les entreprises ; les webinaires thématiques ; et un accompagnement individuel pour celles qui veulent aller plus loin.
