Peach, Please! PLUS SIZE COMMUNITY I SELF LOVE I FAT POSITIVITY I SIZE ACCEPTANCE

Hey peaches! Welcome to the season finale with Hina "Heenise" Low! As mentioned when I brought the show back in February, I'm testing out seasons to see if that feels like a better way to balanace the podcast with other things going on. It's been an amazing 13 epsiodes and I can't wait to be back! I'm planning to return in the Fall, but be sure to tune in on TikTok and Instagram for all the upodates.  Heensie is an industry renowned personal stylist and plus sized fashion creative. She is Toronto's first plus size-focused personal stylist. She works with clients all over the globe via virtual services and her process has been described as highly detailed and welcoming to all. Heensie particularly enjoys working with clients who face confusion in their style identity and are seeking clarity around their wardrobe vision. Many plus sized folks in particular often settle for "anything that fits" and haven't been given the privilege of choice in their closets. Heensie's aim is to empower people to be radically picky about what they wear, and to curate a personal style that feels identity affirming. As a plus size fashion creative, Heensie has garnered an online audience of 80,000+ across her social media channels and has partnered with leading size inclusive brands such as Universal Standard, Girlfriend Collective, Free Label, LEZE The Label and more, to work towards encouraging a more inclusive fashion industry. She was a 2022 ASVOFF (A Shaded View On Fashion Film) Selected Director, chosen for her highly curated style guides.  You can find Heensie on Instagram @heensie, on TikTok @heensiestyledme, and on her website www.heensie.style And you can connect with me on TikTok and Instagram @katieiswinnen, and via email at peachpleasepodcast@gmail.com.  Bye peaches!
