Description

What if the clothes you wear could change someone’s life?


In this episode, I sit down with Meli Alness, founder of Freedom Fibers, a slow-fashion brand that creates clothing free from exploitation at every step. Her mission is to design zero-waste garments that honor both people and the planet while empowering women in India to rebuild their lives through meaningful, dignified work.

We talk about how Meli transformed pain into purpose after a life-changing brain injury, the incredible stories of the women behind her brand, and why your purchasing choices hold far more power than you think.


☑️ The truth behind the fast fashion industry and how it quietly exploits 98% of garment workers

☑️ How repurposed saris and zero-waste design create beauty, sustainability, and purpose

☑️ The link between self-worth and what we wear, and how to shop with soul


Every thread tells a story. Tune in and discover how conscious fashion can transform lives, including your own.
