    Ep. 76: A Passion For Fashion ~ the story of FRINGE BOUTIQUE

    Their dream? To clothe their customers on the outside and empower them from the inside. Two sisters, Tova and Shira combined forces, for a single brand ~ FRINGE: a beautiful and modest clothing brand and successful boutique. One in Toronto, CA and the other in Hollywood, FL. But there's more than the clothing on the rack. It's the woman, they tell me, who comes into the store and is looking for something specific, to make her feel just right. It's the woman, they tell me, who stands in front of the mirror, with whatever may be happening in her life at that moment, and walks away with a new sense of confidence and self assurance because the clothes fit well and express her just right. Shira and Tova share a heartwarming story how their Bubby Edith is incorporated into their business model - with their EDITH line of classical styles, as well as their Bubby's timeless value's which both Shira and Tova draw on inspiration on how they run their stores. They are also all about helping fellow female entrepeneurs in business... promoting other brands as well. Shira and Tova have a gift for you, dear listener! Stay until the end to find out what it is!

    This episode is brought to you by Yael Trusch with a FREE gift for you all: Break down the barriers and launch your dream! In her FREE Webinar Yael Trusch is going to help you gain:* The relief of knowing that the voice inside of you yearning to express your purpose won't go unanswered anymore* The support you need to be lead step-by-step through your journey from purpose to profit* The confidence that comes from knowing what you have achieved in bringing your voice out to the world* The courage to put yourself out there, to take steps that you had previously seen as unsurmountable, and to utilize the gifts that G-d gave youClick here register: www.jewishworkshop.com/yael ----------------------------- From a family living a normal day to day life - to one day, everything changing, with her daughter, Ellison’s diagnosis. Julie Liechty and her family endured incredible loss when her daughter Ellison passed away from a debilitating illness. And yet, it was Julie, in the midst of her pain that showed up with a new perspective, a new light, new meaning to every moment of her day.  Julie captured my heart and will capture the heart of my listeners too as she shares what kind of girl Ellison was and the light that she was, and continues to be. She describes what it's like as Mom, to experience grief, and still be available to show up for her other daughters, show up for her husband as a supportive wife, and show up for herself in care and compassion. Julie gives my listeners some practical side too - how we, as a society could show up with more compassion for someone we know who has gone through loss and probably carries it around with them constantly. She shared basic actions that we could take to show the other they are surrounded by continuous love and comfort.  Julie created a Jewelry brand in Ellison's memory, which is in line with Ellisons passion and love of animals. In addition, Julie's family donates to the Deck My Room fund, which helps families who have loved ones staying in the hospital for long periods of time. We send Julie and her family continued love and comfort, and may they know only boundless joy as Ellison continue’s to live in their hearts and ours as well.  If you’d like to reach out to Julie personally, you can find her on Instagram: @julieliechty or via email: julieliechty@outlook.com  To order Ellison inspired jewelry, head over to www.loveellison.com and gift yourself with something beautiful and meaningful at the same time!   Loved what you heard?
