Sometimes you meet someone at a party and you just fall in love. That was our love story with Susan Petersun. We were introduced by a mutual friend and instantly bonded on rooftop in NYC. Susan is the epitome of inspirational and quite frankly we are in awe. She started a company at her kitchen table with scrap leather and that company is Freshly Picked. Seen on the feet of the Kardashian kids and celebrity babies everywhere. Freshly Picked expanded into many other categories and is a powerhouse in the baby industry. But Susan’s journey wasn’t one without pitfalls. We delve into how Susan survived and THRIVED after the ultimate betrayal and theft by her trusted accountant and how she forgave and moved on. Susan is cool AF, boss AF and GOALS on every level.

It’s a moment of self reflection over here… Who are we, what are we doing and is it making us happy?!? We sit down to chat candidly about our life, what defines us and some recent events that have us looking deeper into who we are and what we stand for. We recap our Isaac Boots retreat in the Hamptons, the connections we made, how to go deep and explore fulfillment and personal actual happiness. Is less more when it comes to happiness? Can you have it all? In a classic Marge and Lexi therapy session with our usual snarky humor Marge comes from a place of peace and enlightenment whilst Lexi can’t quite get her balancing act together and has to have a word with herself when it comes to feeling blessed.

Crafting is having a major moment with celebs sharing their hobbies and some even turning them into businesses.

Lexi's FAVORITE shoes come from talented designer Maria Gangemi, this week's guest. Learn Maria's best business tips, how she gets through challenges, and what excites her most about her booming business of Italian luxuries!
As a young girl growing up in Sicily, Maria Gangemi was equally captivated by its open-air fish and farmers markets and refined cuisine as she was by the handmade shoes displayed in boutiques’ windows. It was the artisans behind the shoes, however, that kept her attention.
Over the following three decades, Maria pursued a career spanning across the realms of creative and merchandising—becoming the fashion director for footwear and accessories at the original Fliene’s, the creative director of two growing shoe companies, SVP of European Luxury for a leading online retailer, and more. Still, something always brought her back to the Italian artisans from her childhood.

Margaret and Lexi have been HUGE fans of the exceptionally chic Teggy French since before influencers were influencing! Her signature style encapsulates vintage palm beach socialite and inspired the girls many times when designing prints.
To quote Teggy “I believe that less is never more and that life is too short to not be glamorous. I dedicate this to all those who care what I wear.” A belief system that resonates with us Caviar Dreamers!

Hannah Ferrier sailed onto our screens back in 2016 leading the cast in hit Bravo show; Below Deck, Mediterranean. Viewers saw Hannah take on the role of Chief Stew leading the charge with 8 other crew members on a luxury yacht. Taking on two jobs simultaneously is not for the faint of heart and the reality of a career in SuperYachting is not all champagne, caviar and St Tropez sunsets; it’s equal parts high drama on the high seas… especially with cameras rolling 24/7! Hannah grew up on a small island an hour North of Sydney, Australia and after leaving high school early and getting an incredibly successful head start in her career she realized that her travel goals weren’t fulfilled. A trip to the South of France set off a fire in her soul and on her return home a quick google search “how to work in the south of France without speaking French” would change her course forever and literally kick started a Yachtie career that eventually lead to a lead role on reality tv. Now back on dry land but always one to ‘Seas the Day’ Hannah juggles the joys of being a new mom with hosting a wildly popular podcast, 'Dear Reality, You're Effed' and running her yacht training school Ocean International Training Academy.
We thought we had experienced girl power at its height, that was until we sat down with fierce female founders Jill McDermott and Sara Andreasson of Michele Marie PR. They lead an all female, bicoastal, full service PR agency, named #4 on 2021's Forbes list, specializing in fashion, beauty & lifestyle. Their company culture of kindness is a direct result of their own negative experiences as young women in the cut throat world of PR. Along with the glamorous life of red carpet events, dressing celebrities, planning A List parties and working with the world's leading luxury brands came the dark side of the industry; bullying, harassment and toxic workplaces. Whilst working side by side as in-house PR for a global brand, a chance side gig threw them together and aged 27 they ventured off together to change the landscape of fashion, beauty and lifestyle PR. Tune in this week to hear all about the infamous world of PR and what it really entails from these two girl bosses!

Carson is also a New York Times bestseller three times over. He joins Margaret and Lexi to talk all things FABULOUS and as a regular judge on RuPaul's Drag Race gives a little insight into how they are handling filming the season finale during Covid19. All this and a shared disdain for one who shall not be named... so much tea... this is an episode not to miss!

Sabeena Lahda is the definition of an entrepreneur. She started her company, DEUX vegan nutrient and vitamin rich cookie dough, to disrupt a locked up industry from a place of passion. She grew up on the same breakfast of champions as the Marge; Oreo’s, in Texas to immigrant parents. After college Sabeena went to work at PepsiCo / Frito Lay in marketing. Her corporate career goals there didn’t align at all with her personal health and wellness journey which she documented on her blog (before blogs were a thing) and she soon realized it was time to make changes. When the pandemic hit and her excessive vitamin schedule left her “pill fatigued” (a term which we love) she set out to find a delicious yet nutritious delivery into your system and after many rounds of trial and error landed on what is now DEUX (pronounced dough). We met in her booth at a tradeshow and instantly fell in love with her infectious personality and pop color, Insta-fabulous branding and of course the eaters that we are, got instantly hooked on her products! Fast forward to a Shark Tank foray, a feature in Forbes, major VC investors, a placement in Whole Foods and new products Sabeena shaking up the unbaked dough industry!

The best ideas are born out of necessity and Susan Feldman's career is an ode to that notion. As the co-founder and visionary behind One Kings Lane the online go-to destination that revolutionized the way we shop for home decor and disrupted an entire industry with it's inspirational, editorial look. Upgrading from a NYC city apartment to a west coast spacious home and for the first time having the opportunity to really design a large space Susan saw the need for a curated, collective offering the chicest pieces from everyone's favorite brands and created an experience that built both a business and recognition for the brands it carried, the latter unheard of in 2009. As a former executive at Ralph Lauren and Liz Clairbourne, Susan was no stranger to the world of wholesale / retail but the home category was a totally foreign concept, but Suan's creative flair and gift for identifying the white space paid off and One Kings lane sold it just 7 years after its launch to Bed, Bath and Beyond. Susan was 53 when she launched One Kings Lane and now at 65 Susan is the founder of a life-style destination that celebrates women and frees them from the age limits and expectations set by society. Hearing how her fabulous, fun, chic and fashion forward friends were left feeling invisible by the media and the brands that served them, Susan set out with a mission to change that and In The Groove was born. This episode just reinforces our mantra that goals are important at any age of your journey and that as women we only get more fierce and powerful as we evolve on our journey.

Robert Bannon has been dazzling audiences on the stage and screen for years, his emotive and powerful vocals and knack for comedy bringing people by turns to tears of emotion, laughter and elation, and always to their feet. But his road to success wasn't without complications and challenges. At 12 he declared to his parents he wanted to sing and by age 13 was accepted into the very first prestigious Juilliard Prep class for musical theater under the direction of Broadway icon Bertin Roswer at Lincoln Center.
