Alright babes, today we’ve got someone seriously special on the mic. Ren Chagoury — the bold force behind Thrifter.
She’s opening her 6th store right now + branching out into the realm of thrifter home and furniture and is on a mission to cut textile waste, give preloved clothes another life, and make sure we all look ridiculously cute while saving the planet.
I actually met Ren a few months back at an event from her second business, Females Doing Cool Shit.
She runs these incredible networking days with her right hand, Tiana, and also yaps her heart out on her podcast.
And honestly, the reason I wanted Ren on here is simple: she oozes realness. This is a woman with her heart on her sleeve, who’s so eager to give and to support — and you’ll hear that in this episode too.
And Ren isn’t just about clothes. She’s about opening doors. Saying yes to opportunities that might not look ‘smart’ on paper but somehow she makes them hers — and very successfully. She’s also recently opened her doors to love, and to those terrifyingly honest conversations most of us try to avoid because, let’s be real, they feel hard.
Because behind those racks of preloved fashion, there’s a woman who’s had to untangle some pretty heavy threads herself.
We’re talking trust issues. Hyper-independence. Childhood stories that taught her not to lean on anyone — and the brave, messy work of rewriting all of that.
How do you actually let someone in when you’re convinced they could let you down?
How do you set boundaries, have the hard conversations, and still show up with love?
Ren is the kind of person who gives endlessly, who builds community that kids look up to and women feel inspired by. And she’s here to remind us that your so-called failures? They’re not proof you’ve messed it all up — they’re the very lessons your future badass self will thrive on.
So, are you ready to be swept up in her energy and her vibe? Let’s dive in.
