Rivky Itzkowitz: Founder at Impact Fashion
Hi, I'm Rivky Itzkowitz I’m the founder and designer at Impact Fashion and I’m the host here at Be Impactful, the show about women making an Impact in their own corners of the world. I started Impact Fashion in November of 2016 so that the modest minded women in my community could feel empowered to put their best foot forward every day, regardless of their size. In the process of growing my business I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with women of all different types and from all different fields. And the main lesson I’ve learnt is that we are all just improvising. We’re going around doing the best we can with what we’ve got, feeling self conscious about what everyone else is accomplishing. The truth is, the people who you’re looking over your shoulder at are probably doing the exact same thing to someone else. So let’s talk about the real nitty gritty in our lives and journeys and lift each other up by being just a bit more open. Join me and my guests as we try to figure out what it means to Be Impactful.
On the final episode of Be Impactful, Rivky shares what the last few months have been like and how that led to the decision to close her business. She’s discuss the timeline, why she’s totally cool with the decision and liquidation sale details.

Aimee shares her own infertility story, why she doesn’t care how many babies are born to the people they help, the breadth and depth of circumstantial infertility and phrases to avoid when greeting others.
Aimee Baron MD, FAAP, is the founder and executive director of I Was Supposed to Have a Baby (IWSTHAB), a nonprofit organization that utilizes social media to support Jewish individuals and families as they are struggling to have a child.

Rivky sits down with Hindy Tauber, a woman who has been dealing with chronic illness since the age of 16. Hindy shares how she felt her life was over when got diagnosed, what it means to pursue a diagnosis and advocate for yourself in medicine, the decision to keep things a secret and how her diagnosis affected her self worth.
Hindy in her own words:
I have a very interesting life journey. In short; at age 16 I got extremely sick and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and I’ve been on that journey ever since. Then, at age 17 my parents separated. I was an extremely shy and scared to open up type of girl before I got sick, and throughout my journey I’ve learned to open up more and more. I have a lot to say on how that happened and why I did that work, but I’ve become so open that I now have a public Instagram page where I share my journey with chronic illness - a first in the chassidish/heimish community for sure, and a first for Crohn’s in the frum world.

Rivky sits down with author Anika Pavel to talk about her life. She shares what it was like growing up under communism and how she was able to get out, why she doesn’t believe in age when you’re too young or too old and why she wanted to write a book you could easily put down.
ANIKA PAVEL was born Jarmila Kocvarova in Czechoslovakia. What was intended as a one-year stay in England turned her into a refugee when the Soviet Union invaded her homeland, writing a bloody end to the Prague Spring. She received a crash course in life that took her from sleeping in a telephone booth at the Victoria railway station in London to waitressing, to the lights of the fashion runway, and on to magazine covers, even a James Bond appearance, under the more pronounceable moniker, Anika Pavel. When the lights had dimmed, she returned to her first love, writing. Her work has been published in print, online and nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

I sit down with Jenny Goldfarb, the founder of Mrs. Goldfarb’s Unreal Deli to discuss her vegan deli meat. She shares how she ties veganism into her torah practice, how she got her new product into the market, and her experience on Shark Tank.
Jenny Goldfarb, aka Mrs. Goldfarb, is the founder of Unreal Deli. She grew up on the Standard American Diet (SAD), and in her early 30s, learned about the plight of animals on factory farms, which led her to adopt a plant-based diet. After much trial and error she became a whiz in the plant-based kitchen and realized the thing she missed most after becoming vegan was premium NY-style deli meat. She sought to recreate a corned beef made from beets, chickpeas, tomatoes and high protein wheat. The recipe became such a hit that it encouraged her to produce her Corn’d Beef Reubens for Delis, Whole Foods, even Shark Tank, where she took on Mark Cuban as primary investor. The company then developed Unreal Roasted Turk’y followed by Unreal Steak Slices (coming soon). With no experience in the food sector, let alone launching a company, she gave birth to this rapidly expanding business in her tiny kitchen while pregnant with her 3rd child. The Unreal Deli product line can now be found in thousands of restaurant and grocery locations with more to come.

I sit down with Roberta Blevins, a former successful MLMer, to discuss her time in that cult like world. She shares What an MLM is, the tactics used in an MLM to maintain rank, and how the structure encourages bad behavior. Plus we discuss why personal accountability isn’t relevant in an industry with a higher failure rate than gambling.
Roberta Blevins was a consultant for 3 MLMs; It Works!, LuLaRoe and Modere, and a customer of many. A Trainer with LuLaRoe, Roberta had a team of 75 women under her, and made over $65,000 in bonuses alone. Definitely "successful" in the eyes of MLM, she was in the top 5% of the company, personal friends with many at Home Office, and invited to speak in company propaganda. She definitely "worked her business", and still came to the conclusion it was a losing game and a systemically run scam. She eft the MLM world in 2017 and began publicly educating and speaking out against it. Since leaving MLM, she has educated herself on the systemic structure of the business model, the psychological manipulation, the seedy underbelly and governmental ties, the cult indoctrination, and the history of Multi Level Marketing. She educates daily on TikTok, and podcasts in her "free time", talking to the survivors and victims of these commercial cults, disguised as the quickest route to the American Dream.

I sit down with Sew Heidi, a woman who chose the freelance route in fashion and educates others. She shares why owning a brand wasn’t for her, why freelancing as a fashion designer has worked so well, the types of brands that are willing to hire freelance designers and how we can all overcome self doubt.
After running a brand she grew to hate and working 60+ hours in a toxic fashion job, Heidi almost burnt out in fashion. But then she found freelancing - real freelancing, where you're in charge of your own business, not temp job "permalancing" where you work 40 hours on-site for one brand. Heidi built her freelance career to $100k+ and was living her dream, working when she wanted, traveling, and never worrying about paying the bills. Since then, she's taught 1000s of freelance fashion designers (and TDs, PDs, patternmakers and more) how to work for themselves in fashion AND make money.

I sit down with Masey Kaplan and Jen Simonic, the founders of The Loose Ends Project, who pair crafters with unfinished project of those who have passed. They share why they have so many more finishers than projects, how they pair the projects with the right finisher and how they preserve the work of the loved one.
Masey Kaplan is a graphic designer and voracious knitter. Knitting carried her through the pandemic, as she ravenously stitched below the Zoom line, where no one could see. She learned to crochet before kindergarten, learned to knit at the age of 15, re-learned knitting in her 20s, and has not stopped, even for a day. When she dies, her family knows to check the little book next to her bed, where they’ll find an illustrated guide to every project she’s making, and who gets what.
Jen Simonic has been knitting since she was 6. Her grandmother taught her on steel needles from WWII bandage making. She was the weirdo that knit under the desk in 6th grade. The first piece she finished for someone else was a sweater that a friend’s mom was making for her dad. That mom said “If I finish it he’ll leave me. You finish it and give it to someone who needs love.” Jen lives with her family in Seattle, WA. They love her even though her stash is taking over the house.

I sit down with Keshet Starr, the CEO of ORA to discuss how her work has changed in the 2 years since #freechava.

I talk with journalist Sara McElroy about her career. She shares how overwork and a toxic work environment led to an amount of stress her body couldn’t handle, changing her whole life only to end up in another toxic work environment, snd how both of those experiences led her to look more into why women especially were leaving their jobs and collecting their stories.
Sara McElroy is a former hustle culture devotee, ex-chief marketing officer, the Wall Street Journal’s poster girl for pandemic career burnout, and a two-time member of the Great Resignation: class of 2021 and 2022. Following a stress-induced shingles diagnosis in early 2021, Sara decided to hit the reset button on her life; she quit her hard-won CMO job and relocated from the buzzy metropolis of Atlanta to the beach in South Florida for a new job and a fresh start. But she once again encountered deeply ingrained cultural issues in her new role, and ultimately, she walked away again. Finding herself in the company of millions of other women who also set unfulfilling jobs ablaze during the Great Resignation, she returned to her journalism roots and began to explore the stories, breaking points, and defining moments that led women to seek greater opportunity mid-pandemic. These conversations became the genesis of Raze to Rise – an organization created to amplify women’s voices from the Great Resignation and inspire others to blaze new trails in their own careers.

I sit down with Chelsea Bear, a disability advocate with cerebral palsy, to talk about her life. She shares how she feels about people looking at her funny, the importance of language when it comes to talking about disabilities, and what body acceptance looks like with a disability.
Chelsea was born and raised in South Florida. When she was eight months old, her mom began to realize she wasn’t sitting up like the other babies in her mommy and me class, which led to years of doctor visits, MRI’s, cat scans, X-Rays and more. At the age of three, Chelsea was officially diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Today, Chelsea uses social media to share her first-hand story of living with Cerebral Palsy. Her content is comprised of educational, fun and lighthearted posts that strive to create acceptance and awareness for people with disabilities. She’s certainly no stranger to adventure and aims to live her life to the fullest. Some of her favorite pastimes include traveling, learning adaptive exercises, writing, going on walks, drinking red wine, spending time with family and friends, and much more!

Hey Lovelies, as you can hear I lost my voice so this week’s episode will be delayed. I recorded an incredible conversation with Miriam (Pascal) Cohen about weight, body image and stigma and aside from the fact that I can’t get out more than a short sentence at a time, it does not do justice to the material for a frog to do the intro. I’ll get it up as soon as I can, thank for your patience and understanding.

I talk with Kayla Haber Goldstein, a soon to be published author and overall curious Jew, about how she learned at a young age to solve problem without thinking emotionally. She shares her three step plan for ending the agunah crisis, and we have a frank discussion around lace top wigs and women’s place in Jewish law.
Kayla Haber-Goldstein is a young designer who was given the space to explore her religious views. Gifted with a husband patient and confident enough to let her explore, and a giant for a father willing to answer her questions, Kayla set out to find what was truth and what was noise in Judaism. The answers astounded her, and she quickly realized she was in a unique position others could not have. So she shares her discoveries, giving others a safe space to really learn about their heritage without any judgement or stigma whatsoever. More recently Kayla has bee in involved in helping our system rectify the wrong being done to women who want a divorce. Who knows what’s coming next :)

Dena Pilevsky had one question for the surgeon, right before he cut open her neck and rebuilt it with titanium rods, screws and plates. “Can I wear my own fabulous hospital gown?”
Who could say no to that?
That was her fifth cervical spinal surgery.
Dena’s neck was ruined due to a faulty shoulder guard on a roller coaster. The damaged disc held out until she was pregnant with her second child. Dena turned the wrong way and her disk ruptured, nearly paralyzing her.
Dena sculpted, went scuba diving and fell in love with fashion. All that, along with a laundry list of dreams and grandiose plans, fell apart as she was confined to walker or a wheelchair.
After 10 years of chronic pain and four unsuccessful surgeries, she found the strength to literally crawl to a new surgeon and undertake her most extensive surgery yet.
It didn’t fix her, but it gave her the ability to start a new chapter in her life.
Dena walked out of the fire and with the support of her husband and five children she plunged into the world of fashion. She became a motivational speaker and started her own Fashion & Beauty Blog, @TheperfecteyeNY and Theperfecteye.com.
Her message is simple: If you let color into your life, it will heal you.
If you look fabulous.
If you think fabulous.
You will feel fabulous!

At age 11, she was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, followed by subsequent diagnoses of Major Depressive Disorder and Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia. she spent so much of her childhood and teenage years trying to hide her diseases before she came to a realization - I don't have to hide.
