WOMEN DOING AMAZING THINGS✨

In this episode, we welcome Conni Reed, founder, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer of Consuela, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her brand!

Consuela is a lifestyle brand known for bold color, layered textures, and a design philosophy called The Art of the Unmatched. What began in March of 2006 as a one-woman operation out of her garage in Dripping Springs has grown into a nationally loved brand carried in hundreds of boutiques, company-owned stores, department stores, and online, all while staying deeply committed to her three founding principles: make art, support & uplift women, and work in Mexico.

Tune in to hear how Conni chooses art over trends, people over profit, and authenticity over perfection in order to build a business that feels magically alive. 🤘💛✨
