In part 2 of discussing recent crises, Dom and Mary talk about the connection of the Texas crisis to our general water crisis. They reflect on how their relationship to water is shaped by their recent experiences, as well as their long-term goals of deepening their connection to water.

Dom and Mary sit down and dive deep into the events of Texas's winter storm that swept through the state in February. The two connect how climate change and social injustices led to millions of people being without power, heat, or water throughout the Lone Star State, and reflect upon how living through this moment has informed how they think and act moving forward. 

On this episode of Thrifting Minds, we sit down with one of our most favorite interviewees to date: our very own Dom! We dive into the ins and outs of how Dom has grown her brand (Thrifted Feels), where she gathers her inspiration, what advice she might have for other entrepreneurs, and more....  We hope you enjoy and feel inspired! 

Before traveling restrictions were put in place, Mary and Dom sat down and discussed their love for fashion-on-the-move. More specifically, Mary and Dom talked about Airport fashion: the good, the bad, and all those styles in between. They also discussed the environmental impacts of air travel. So, if you're missing exploring the globe, hopefully this episode gives you some inspiration for whenever it's time to take off next! 

Dom and Mary sit down to reflect on 2019 and to share their goals for the coming new year. Tune in to hear what Thrifting Minds has in store for 2020 and to gain some personal inspiration along the way.

Then, our hosts sit down with Conner, a innovator in sustainable fashion and a current Fashion Merchandising student, to talk about the problem of clothing waste, how some designers are changing the fashion game for a better future and so much more!
