Finding Fulfillment and Confidence In Style with Ashley Freeborn

Your Cup of Joy with Ariana Joy Christie

Welcome back to Your Cup of Joy with my first official guest, Ashley Freeborn! Ashley is founder and principal CEO of clothing company Smash and Tess, Mom of two and an overall powerhouse woman! Join us as I dive into Ashley's remarkable journey, from her days as a high school teacher, to the creation of a fashion empire centered on self-love and inclusivity.
We'll explore how Ashley's studies at Conde Nast’s summer fashion program in London ignited her passion for celebrating women of all shapes and sizes, resulting in the birth of Smash & Tess in 2016. Discover the heartwarming story behind the iconic "Sunday Romper" and how Ashley's community-led approach revolutionized the brand's direction and marketing. Ashley also vulnerably shares her candid reflections on navigating chronic illnesses, while we touch on redefining self-care and finding solace in personally fulfilling activities!
Let’s unravel the power of community and the beauty of embracing vulnerability together. Be sure to share this episode on socials and kindly leave me a review! Don’t forget to connect with myself and Ashely using the links below!
