Personal friends turned business partners, Lindsay and Kristi launched L’AVANT with a simple yet radical idea: that non-toxic, plant-based cleaning products could be not only effective but as luxurious and design-forward as your favorite beauty or fragrance brand. What began with a countertop spray has grown into a full line of high-performance, gorgeously packaged home essentials that prove sustainability and sophistication can go hand in hand. Their products are a staple in modern homes that value both wellness and aesthetics, and their story is one of grit, intention, and entrepreneurial spirit.

    003 Ingrid Fetell Lee & the Science of Joy: Everyday Design Secrets for a More Vibrant Life

    Today I’m talking to Ingrid Fetell Lee, designer, author, and founder of Aesthetics of Joy. She’s spent years studying how color, light, shapes, even everyday objects can have a real impact on how we feel. Her book Joyful is one of those reads that makes you see the world differently. Ingrid’s TED Talk has been viewed over 17 million times for good reason: she makes the science of joy deeply human and instantly applicable.    Ingrid has worked with brands like Target and Kate Spade, and her work shows up everywhere from classrooms to corporate offices to public parks. But what I love most is how she makes joy feel accessible. Not something you have to chase, but something you can design into your daily life. In today’s conversation, we’re going to explore joy as a form of energy and how we can harness it in our daily lives. We’ll discuss how to make workplaces more inspiring and productive, how to design homes that nurture both kids and adults, and how retailers and event organizers can use design to foster connection and even improve sales. And of course, we’ll talk about how joy relates to women’s wealth and wellbeing—because when we feel more vibrant, we show up more powerfully in our work, our relationships, and our financial lives.

    001 Hall Rockefeller on Money, Power, and Painting Women Back In

    Our very first guest is none other than Hall Rockefeller, the fearless founder of Less Than Half, a platform dedicated to amplifying women artists and correcting the still-ridiculous imbalance in representation in museums and wherever art is shown and traded. Hall and I go deep into discussion on how we value (or undervalue) art, and why we have such a huge lack of representation of women artists everywhere. It’s not just about art, it’s about the state of women everywhere, and it’s a perfect kickoff to what we’re building with this show: honest conversations about what makes women richer in mind, body, and bank account.    Artists, Organizations and References mentioned in the podcast: Guerrila Girls: https://www.guerrillagirls.com/ Romaine Brooks: https://americanart.si.edu/artist/romaine-brooks-599 Juanita McKeenly: https://jamesfuentes.com/artists/13-juanita-mcneely Anne Truit: https://www.annetruitt.org/ Janelle Monáe: https://www.jmonae.com/ Lee Bontecou: https://www.moma.org/artists/670-lee-bontecou National Museum of Women in the Arts: https://nmwa.org/support/advocacy/   About Our Guest To learn more about Hall and her work, head over to https://lessthanhalf.org/.    Additional Resources To hear the entire episode, head to https://www.matriark.com/subscribe and upgrade to a paid subscription.    Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for general knowledge and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered professional advice.
