This is a super-long one, but I just could not bring myself to make it shorter because I loved every minute of this conversation.
To make it easier to navigate, I have broken it down for you below. Listen to it beginning to end (which, you know, I totally recommend because it’s good), or pick and choose the topics that interest you most.
I highly recommend not missing the Vivienne Westwood section, as well as the yoga and trends parts, oh, and the part about what Andrea loves about this phase of our lives.
And if you’d like to watch to the video, please click here (or above).
Please let me know what you think!
