Welcome back to the Sunshine Signal podcast! With Met Monday, this was one of the biggest weeks in fashion…so there’s no better way to end the week than with a brand new episode featuring one of my favorite female founders, Kristine Locker!
Kristine is the founder of Locker, the ultimate online-shopping app that’s like Pinterest for your closet. If you’re like me and have 100 tabs open on your desktop at any time (guilty!) and have too many bookmarks, you need Locker! It’s the best way to see what other fashion-savvy young women are styling and offers a clean, aesthetic platform to organize your favorite finds.
Kristine has been up against all odds as a solo female-founder in the tech start-up space, but has truly rose to the occasion to create a wildly successful consumer-centric app that elevates the shopping experience. Today, we go all in and discuss how to curate more resilience, the biggest lessons Kristine has learned from her failures (including reaching a standstill in growth and losing thousands of dollars to a web-developing mishap), how to curate your unique style that stands the test of time, the key to delivering a successful business pitch, and owning your strengths and weaknesses. This is such a fun episode that seamlessly blends entrepreneurship, fashion, and REAL career advice. Tune in for a feel-good conversation, and send this episode to a friend so you can listen together!
TUNE IN FOR:
+How Kristine got the idea for Locker and how she navigated the tech industry having NO previous experience
+Where to source inspiration & how Kristine uses a three-word method to describe her style and make aligned wardrobe purchases

The perfect episode to equip you with everything you need to accomplish everything your heart desires, and become the best YOU in 2023!
TUNE IN FOR:

+And so much more!
A Prayer to the Body:
Kate begins by saying this prayer everyday. List aspects of how you may have judged, attacked, hated, or worshiped your body, such as engaging in risky behavior in the past, extreme exercise, and eating unhealthy food. Then, apologize to your body and say:
I understand now that you follow only my direction in all of my unloving judgments about how you look. And I have been very, very unfair. You have only done what I have asked, even in selecting this appearance. I have been wrong in judging you and very unloving for judging your [insert body judgment].
You are designed perfectly for the life I have chosen to experience in this incarnation. For all those unloving things I have said or done to you, I apologize.
From here on out, I will treat you well. I will respect you. I will not hate you and I will not worship you. I will thank you for giving me this holy opportunity to walk through this life and encounter the unloving ideas in my mind. From this day forward, I will not hate the body or attack the body or judge the body. I will appreciate the body and I will listen to the messages it is sending me.
