A Note to the Women Who’ve Walked With Me
For the women who know me through sustainable fashion…
If you’ve been part of the Zippy Chicks community for a while, you know that what we do here has never been just about fashion.
Yes, I care deeply about sustainable style, beautiful pieces, and helping you build a wardrobe that reflects who you are.
But over the years, something even more meaningful has grown inside these walls:
A community of women who trust each other.
A place where we talk honestly, laugh loudly, share what’s going on in our lives, and lift one another up.
A place where you trust me not only with your consignments, but with your stories — the real ones.
You trust that I will:
tell you the truth gently,
not let you leave the shop in something that isn’t you,
help you feel lit up when you find that perfect piece,
honor your items with integrity,
and hold space for the vulnerable moments we’ve shared over the years.
That trust — that sister-like connection — is the heart of Zippy Chicks.
And it’s exactly what inspired me to create Sustainable Woman.
🌿 An extension of the community we’ve already built
Sustainable Woman isn’t a departure from Zippy Chicks.
It’s an extension — the deeper, more reflective version of the conversations we’re already having.
It’s where I take:
the life lessons I’ve lived,
the coaching and personal development work I’ve invested in,
the tools and practices that support me through each season,
and the wisdom that comes from transitioning through different chapters of womanhood,
…and I pour all of that into a new, gentle online space for women who want to grow, reset, or simply reconnect with themselves.
This is for women who are:
✨ in a “gap year” of life, unsure what’s next
✨ in midlife and feeling a calling for something more
✨ craving softness, grounding, clarity, or alignment
✨ navigating change or reinvention
✨ wanting to deepen their sense of purpose, rhythm, and inner stability
You do not need to be in ‘mid-life crisis’.
You do not need to be changing your life dramatically.
You do not need to be struggling.
You just need to be a woman who feels the tug toward something more nourishing, more intentional, more you.
🌙 Why I’m inviting you
If you’ve ever felt that what we do at Zippy is more than shopping…
If you’ve ever come into the store and walked out feeling not just styled, but seen…
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love more of this energy in my life” —
Then Sustainable Woman is for you.
I would love to welcome you into this next layer of community and connection.

Thank you for growing with me — in fashion, in community, and now in this deeper, more intentional space.
With love,
