In this episode, we sit down with Jessica Johnson, the visionary behind Figiúra — a brand on a mission to redefine bras for women with implant-based augmented breasts. Figiúra was born out of Jessica’s personal journey: after getting breast augmentation, she struggled to find bras that felt comfortable, supportive, and flattering. From her lived experience, Jessica identified a glaring gap. Traditional bras weren’t designed for the unique shape, rigidity, and projection of augmented breasts — leaving many women limited to sports bras or ill-fitting bralettes.What began as her personal frustration turned into a broader conversation when she reached out to others; women in her community who had undergone augmentation (cosmetic, reconstructive, or restorative). The response was overwhelming: many shared the same problem. In the podcast, Jessica describes that moment as an awakening — realizing she wasn’t alone, and that there was a real underserved community calling out for better options. That collective need became the foundation for Figiúra. For additional content check out our website, www.powerinheels.caDon't forget to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn

Helene's journey is anything but ordinary. A seasoned actress who spent years traveling the world for work and pleasure, Helene realized there was a serious gap in the market: stylish, wrinkle-resistant, multi-purpose clothing that worked just as well in a business meeting as it did at an elegant dinner — all designed to fit into a carry-on.
That insight sparked a big idea. In 2014, she launched her own clothing line, and what began with pop-up shops in Toronto has since grown into a global brand.
In this episode, Helene opens up about what it really takes to build a clothing line from the ground up — the wins, the stumbles, and the surprising lessons she learned along the way.
