Interview Begins at 3:33

Happy Saturday Loves,

Today I am joined by the biggest ray of sunshine, fashion icon, thrifting enthusiast, and Youtuber Macy Eleni. Macy has such a beautiful energy that welcomes vulnerability and looks for the light in even the darkest of days. She embodies such warmth and brings so much positivity through her inclusive fashion ideals, dance parties, and shimmies. In this episode Macy and I talk about the importance of standing up for yourself, even when you might be the biggest critic. Creating a new way of speaking to ourselves, and finding gratitude even through our struggles. Macy reflects on her extensive history suffering with an eating disorder and reflects on how it really dimmed her light. Moving into a much more fashion forward channel, on Blazed and Glazed Macy now discusses all things fashion, thrifting and inclusivity. Macy rejects the model of only idolizing super thin, white, wealthy models and rather creates a space that involves everyone. Macy speaks about her transition to an account that focuses on honoring each persons’ unique body and individuality - by buying second hand, fun and funky pieces. It was an honor to be in conversation with Macy and I hope you all find our conversation as insightful and impactful as I did.

With love, always,

Hale
