Introducing two of my besties, Sophie & Mia!

We talk about the stigmas that surround being gay, is it all good to use the word gay? We hear about Sophie and Mia’s experiences of coming out and our hopes that future generations will never have to come out. And omg their love story is like no other, love you gals xxx

So, why the Naturally Alice Store? In 2019, I walked into a clothing store with my best friend and her little sisters. This particular store was one size fits all and that one size was extra small. Can you imagine, none of us could fit anything. Her sisters left feeling disheartened and I was angry to say the least.

It has taken me 2 years, a global pandemic and moving country to come up with this idea. An all inclusive size fashion label, based in New Zealand, that ships all over the world.

Each clothing item with have a beautiful quote on them that makes you feel good about yourself when you put it on in the morning, but you also become an advocate for positive change in your community.

We also don't want to add to fast fashion so we are making a conscious effort to be apart of the slow fashion movement. We will be sourcing the most appropriate sustainable materials starting with hemp and organic cotton, but who knows what we will be using in the future! The opportunities are endless.

Honestly, what can this girl not do!

We connected over Instagram because we are both so passionate about mental health and have a lived experience of PTSD, the first young girl I have ever talked to with the same diagnoses.

We are angry at the NZ mental health system but we are using that anger for change.

Viv is a fucking legend and has always inspired me so much in my journey. We talk about sex ed at school, blow jobs, choking in many different circumstances, losing your v card, and so much more.

Wow what an AMAZING responsive to the first episode of Taboo Topics, and it is about to get a whole lot better people because todays guest is the amazing Mitch, my dear friend, ex colleague (that is suuuuch a hard word to spell lol) and just all round legend really!

Some of the things we talk about are the stigma around anti depressants, Mitch's lived experience of mental health, how I made his life a whole lot better (I'm kidding, kinda) what it's like to be a feminist in 2020 and how to navigate this and how he supported me to be a really strong women and step into my power.

THE TEARS ARE REAL PEOPLE
