On that note, supermodel and entrepreneur, Nicole, welcome to the Him and Her Show. This is the skinny confidential Him and Her. Someone who I have wanted on the podcast, on the show for so long is finally here.

I feel like it had to make sense. And it makes sense now. And we'll get into why. Nick of Bumpsuit, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you for having me. I want to go back and tell your story. First of all, when you were a little girl

and you're this beautiful and tall and entrepreneurial, how did you manage to not have tall and entrepreneurial, how did you manage to not have tall poppy syndrome in Australia? I actually was discovered when I was 16 and I went straight from the out back to New York. So before you were discovered at 16 as a model, what were you like? Were you always this tall and like you must have stood out? I was like the nerdy, tall, skinny, lanky girl that like hung out in the... Well, that's the funny thing because this woman discovered me when I was shopping

and she was like, I know all about you. So little towns talk and she knew who I was from my little town. And she called my family like nonstop. She was like, I really want her to be a model. I have a full career for her. I was like, hell no, because girls are so bitchy at school already. Like, could you imagine what the modeling field is like? I was like, I'm not doing that. But then she managed to convince my family to just let me try this competition and I won it and it led to this other competition, which I won and it led to the Ford

Supermodel of the world, which I came runners up in, and this is all over a period of like six months. I just got to find out that all of the girls are like tall, lanky, skinny girls. They're like baby bambies that never found their like coordination. And then they grew up to be these like glamazons. their like coordination and then they grew up to be these like glamazons. So I was really surprised how nice, how well educated, how, you know, kind of in the same boat, a lot of us were. So I found my best friends through modeling.

So it wasn't what we hear like the catty, bitchy. No, not at all. I found that more in school. Huh? Definitely. Like definitely. What was the difference between Australia and that more in school. Huh. Definitely. I definitely. What was the difference between Australia and New York? Everything.

Right. So I grew up with a conservative Italian father, and I don't know how he allowed me to move to New York, but he really trusted me. And he said to me, I was like, how, you don't let me go to parties, you know, but you'll let me move to New York. My parents kind of had to because when I won the Ford Supermodel of the World, they had to sign for me to take responsibility. And when I came runners up, nobody, we never, I didn't even look at myself in the mirror, you know, I wasn't even aware of beauty. Came from the Bush and then I'm in Dominican Republic for the Ford Supermodel of the World.

This is before reality TV existed. It's a massive production. Ford was like massive at the time and I came runners up in the world and they were like, great, now you have to move to New York and here's a $250,000 contract. And I was like, I'm not moving to New York. This was just for fun. And they were like, no, your parents have signed before you started the competition. We've now invested in you.

So you have to move to New York. And we took it very seriously. Like we were, I was from a tiny town in Australia and very like sheltered. And yeah, it was a, it was was a major traumatic event in my life, but it was positive in a way. But for me, I was like, I can't do this. Like, I'm 16. So what do you do when you're thrust into it?

Are your parents and your family with you or no? No, I mean, my family couldn't afford to do that. And I have three other siblings. So I had to go by myself and it wasn't really like, I mean, when you're young, I think you have a lot of confidence. You think you can do anything and you think you're always right. You know, so I had a little bit of that, but I was kind of like, they promised that there was a chaperone and I was going to a model apartment, but like I arrived and they were like,one and I was going to a model apartment, but like I arrived and they were like, there's no boys allowed in the model apartment. And

the first night I arrived, there was like a boy there and I was like, what's going on? It just, you know, the guys now like my brother to this day, I just made a friend with him and he like really protected me and told me like all the ins and outs and what was going to happen. Do they throw you on go-sees and all these different things right away? They just threw you into it? Yeah, basically you go to the agency, you get back then it was a fax. I feel like I'm so old that you get a fax of your day and you have to call like throughout

the day with a calling card, SIM card. Where am I going to next? Map out your day, take the subway, walk around in your boots or whatever, or switch shoes if you can. All the construction workers in New York are like, damn baby, you were told glass of water and I'm thirsty. And I'm like laughing my head off going like, I should write a book about like all of the lines that these guys say. Cause coming from Australia, you don't get that.

And then you're in New York and there's all this like energy going around and like people just like, you know complimenting you in their own way. And I thought it was just an amazing vivacious like world. And I was also like, my dad said to me before I left I was like, how do you not let me go to parties but you'll let me move to New York. Even though like he didn't have a choice, which is what I found out later from my mom.

She was like, it was the worst time for me and your dad because they took the contract really seriously. And my dad said to me, and I'll never forget this because you have a strong head on your shoulders and I trust you. And so that to me, that was my first parenting advice. It's like you give your child a standard and they will live up to it. You tell them you can do this and they will live up to it. And so I did, like it was always in the back of my mind.

I saw girls making like all the mistakes. Like what? I mean, it's so crazy because I'm Australian and extroverted, but I'm kind of like a good girl and, but I seem like a bad girl. So like all the girls would go out partying all night. They wouldn't even come home and like I would get the blame for it. And I was like at home not drinking like because I'm like the extroverted one. I just like, I had to go stay at Eileen Ford's house.

I was going to ask you if you had the opportunity to meet her. Yeah, I was rollerblading and I just got booked for like, I got this like big opportunity for Maybelline and I messed it up. And I went rollerblading and I like grazed all of my knees and I grazed under my chin and it was like my second week in New York, so I was adventurous and like I was meant to do like a Vera Wang campaign and they told me that I had to go and stay with Eileen Ford because I was misbehaving. Did you understand how iconic and well known she was in the industry or did you have no concept? No, I wrote a journal at the time and I was like writing all this crazy stuff because I felt like I had been like kidnapped.

Why? You have to tell us what it's like to stay at Eileen Ford's house. I remember going in the car with her and her husband and I was sitting in the back and I, you know, I didn't know any of these people. Like I just got to New York and I had this contract. She's the biggest person in modeling ever. Right? And so I went up to her massive mansion upstate and she had a chef.

I was staying in Katie Ford's room and I remember opening the closet. It was so beautiful, by the way. I bet. The closet had all these furs in it. And like in Australia, we don't need furs. So I was like, whoa, like I'd never seen that in real life. Insane. And then I remember they had this beautiful pool

and I didn't have a swimsuit. So she was like, here's Katie's swimsuit from when she was young. You're all this old thing. It's like, ruffles. And we just like ate dinner and I was so well behaved. Like my parents raised me with really good manners. And they told me that I was the best model that they've ever had stay and got the

most compliments from like all of their friends and their staff. I'm reading Christie Brinkley's book, who is like, I think she was like an 80s supermodel. But Eileen Ford told her when she went to her house that all she could eat was fish. Really? So that's you you got all the cakes. Yeah well I think I was eating it like in the kitchen with the chef because I was so bored so I'd go hang out in the kitchen. I thought you were gonna say she's like only cooked like tilapia. I can't remember like what we ate I just remember there was, like,

like, every single time we'd eat, it was like a full-on, it was like a wedding. Amazing. You had your own salt and pepper shaker. You had, like, you know, it was like a full setting. Do you remember the advice she gave you at that age at her house? I, like, I don't remember. I was in trouble.

I only remember her saying, like, she was really impressed with me and I had a big career ahead of me and not to mess it up. And I would go with her friends and they had traveled the world. So like when you're hanging out with somebody that's like traveled the entire world, they're like in the fashion world, these people are so eccentric and wise and they have these most eclectic houses and this woman, beautiful homes. This woman showed me she had like, I mean, just like jewelry and artifacts from all over

the world. And she was so eccentric. It was like being in a movie when I think back to it. It was incredible. And then after that, I got back to New York and I got straight to work and I worked for Vera Wang and she was like, I choose the good ones. She's like, you're going to be a star. She's like, just you watch. She's like, I'm lucky I've got you now, but I'm always, she's like, I'm always the one that chooses the girls. I know. And

just watch. I'm not going to be able to book you. And then after that, I went to Milan and I was staying in like the shittiest hotel, like single bed, no mirror, like no phone in the room. That was so shitty because the agencies pay for you until you make your own money and then you have to pay them back. Right? Oh my God, I did not know that. I thought they pay for all your living. Well, you have to pay it back. They pay for it with the understanding that you're going to make them a lot of money. So then you pay them back and you're a free agent. It's kind of like anything, music, sports. And so when I went to Milan, I was like, really like a, I was staying at this hotel called the Hollywood Hotel, but it was so shitty.

It was like, my parents wouldn't even stay at this hotel. And I was sharing a room with the girl that couldn't speak English and I was so like miserable. I was like, what am I doing? And I remember like having to get clothes, like modeling clothes. And I was wearing like stripper boots with like a vintage black slip dress that I cut off. And because I was going to go see Tom Ford. And at that point, Tom Ford is like, he was the king, is the king. But at this point in fashion, he was the designer of Gucci and Saint Laurent. So you knew how big he was when you were going to go see him. He was the guy.

If you got the Tom Ford show, he booked like one new girl a season. If you booked the Gucci show, it changed your life. And I'm like, it changed. I owe everything to that man. Hold on. You have to tell us how you got the job. Like you went to go to his house. Was he in the bathtub? You know he loves bass. You know he loves what? He loves bass. Oh, I didn't know that.

Yeah, he loves what? He loves baths. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, he loves baths. I remember in the morning standing on the toilet seat to try and see what my outfit looked like. So it was no full length mirror. So I was standing on the toilet seat to try and see and I was wearing these crazy like high knee high like kind of stripper looking boots and this little vintage black slip dress. And I had my hair like up really tight, made my eyebrows go kind of like that and I had really thick eyebrows so I was like giving myself a facelift. And I remember going to see Tom Ford and it was different than the other castings because

it was like an appointment. So in the other castings, it's like a long line of girls and then in Tom Ford, it's like just you. And I remember walking in and it was beautiful and it was like serene and there were like orchids and I don't think I'd ever seen like such beautiful orchids and someone was like hello and they were so polite to me and I went in and I walked and I left and it was like really just calm. And I had a dream that night that I got the show. And I had a dream that like my boyfriend

that kind of when I left wasn't really like paying me any attention because he was in Australia, he sent me like roses. And in the morning roses came to my door and I fucking booked the show. My agency called me and they were like, you got the show. And my driver, because in Milan you have a driver, everyone has a driver and it's like an Italian student that like they're obsessed with fashion in Italy. So they just like live to drive the models around during fashion week in Milan. And my Italian driver like drove me back to my hotel and it was like a palace. And I was like, what is this? And he was like, this is your hotel.

And I was like, oh, is this how it's meant to be? It was like, so when you did the show and you actually do it, what happened? So even before I did the show, basically when I got, when I got announced that I was doing Gucci they must've canceled one girl from every single show and I was automatically booked. I didn't have to go to any castings. I got Valentino, I got Versace, I got Roberto Cavalli, Fendi, Missoni, everything.

And how do you not let that, I mean, knowing you, I can see why, but just how do you not let that go to your head? Like you get all of these different things at once. It's almost like you get, I mean, every model's dream and a snap of your fingers. You know, like I never, it's so weird because I never wanted to be a model.

I was always like, wanted to do something. Like you see me now, I'm so behind the scenes. Uh-huh, I noticed that. And I'm so happy. Like I love being creative. I love working with a team. I have a big imagination. It's too much sometimes, but I was just honestly trying to do the best that I could.

I was like, if I'm going to get taken away from my family, I'm going to make this worth it. And so I was just really trying to be professional and show up and do a good job. And I remember just feeling bad. I was like, who got canceled from the shows? Like, I was like, wait, and I, and I remember going to Valentino and seeing this model that I know that I love her like crossed out and they put me up there on the board. And I was like, I was like, I felt bad, but I was so excited, but I just was thinking

about my boyfriend and I just miss my friends and my family. And I was really trying to like navigate it and live up to my dad's standard and like not mess it up. So like, that's all I could think about is like, what do I do? I was so sheltered, you know, I didn't really like have much exposure to much. I think though it must've worked to your advantage because there's something I told

my husband about you and your whole team. There's something really down to earth about you that's very on LA and New York. It's very, it's refreshing. And I'm assuming that's how you were when you were there. And I'm sure that stood out to the casting people and to Tom Ford. Like, he was probably used to a certain, like, stereotypical model. And your energy's so light.

Was that how it was? Thank you. Maybe, like, the second person that really, like, discovered me was Carl Lagerfeld, and he was obsessed with Australians at the time. Oh, Carl who? She's all, to Carl and Tom and Eileen. was Karl Lagerfeld and he was obsessed with Australians at the time. Karl who? She's all to Karl and Tom and I.

You know, I have a really funny story about Karl. Please tell us. So it's kind of embarrassing. I was like just trying to fit in, you know, but I was wearing like these fluro, like acid wash pink, subi jeans and a Harley Davidson vintage t-shirt. That's all I had from home. Okay. It was my boyfriend's and he gave it to me and I was wearing these crazy Gatiyo Navarro

shoes that had like, I was just wearing a crazy outfit and I was running to my fitting because I already booked Fendi, like without even going to the casting. So I was like running and I saw this man, this very distinct man with like white hair pulled back. And I'd only just started watching fashion TV and I thought it was Ralph Lauren. And so I was like running, running, running, running like through the, in Milan. And he was like, Maria Carla, Maria Carla. Do you know Maria Carla, the model?

Oh my God, she's iconic, like iconic. She's still modeling to this day. Maria Carla Boscono. She's icon. Maria Carla, Maria Carla. And I said, oh no, I'm not Maria Carla. I'm Nicole. It's nice to meet you.

And I shook his hand and he was with Amanda, his muse. Like, I'm Nicole. She's like, I'm not Maria Kala. I'm Nicole. It's nice to meet you." And I shook his hand and he was with Amanda, his muse. Like, I'm Nicole. She's like, I'm Amanda. And then I was like, what's your name? That's so funny. He probably loved it though. He goes like this, I don't have a name. And I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm really late for my fitting for Fendi. I must run and I ran off and I go upstairs and like all the models are sitting there and I was like he walks in and I was like who is that? And they were like that's Karl Lagerfeld and I was like oh no I just met him and I asked him what's his name and the girls were like you need to you're gonna

get canceled they're like you need to go home and get dressed like that was bad right that shouldn't have happened and I was like oh my god so I left my fitting and I called my agency and I was like, this is what happened. And they're like, go to Versace. I had a Versace rehearsal because they had like a hundred meter long runway. The shoes hadn't come in yet. We had to stay there. So I was sitting there and it was taking so long for the shoes to come. I remember sitting there for like four or five, six hours. It was like 1 a.m. at this point. We did the rehearsal and I went back to Fendi. And the F. It was like 1 a.m. at this point. We did the rehearsal and I went back to Fendi. And the Fendi show was at 8 a.m. So I had to be at Fendi at like 6 a.m. for hair and makeup, knowing I'm going to get canceled. So I go

back. It's so late. Like people in fashion, they really work hard, you know? Like I saw all the behind the scenes and I do my fitting and Carl's like really like far on the other side of the room. I go behind the thing, I come out, do my fitting, they take the Polaroid, I do my next look, I take the Polaroid and then I leave. I still think I'm getting canceled. And then I've got like two hours to the show. So I'm like, can I show up late?

Because I just got done with the fitting and they're like, no, this is your first season. You have to be there on time. And so I go there still thinking I'm getting canceled. Oh no, I missed a big part. When I walked into my fitting in a different outfit, he goes, Nicole from Australia, right? Cause I was like, I'm Nicole. Oh my God, it's so embarrassing.

Anyway, he didn't cancel me and he booked me for the Chanel sport campaign right after and he also booked me for the Lagerfeld Gallery, his campaign. That probably made you, humanized you. He probably liked it. He put me on the news in Paris. He's like, this is Nicole from Australia. Oh my God. It was like when he was filming like the Baz Luhrmann, Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge, you know,

it was around that same time. What year is this? Just to give context. Wow. Okay. What year is this? 2012? Okay.

He was doing, remember how he did the Chanel number five campaign with her? Yes. Because she was like, we went to this dinner and she was like, she's so magical. Beautiful. It was just a magical time. She's Australian, right? She is. Yeah.

She's like one of my favorite people. I feel like I've lived nine lives. It's wild. I mean, I'm like, which life do we go into? I know. It's really crazy. So from Milan and all these huge opportunities, do you know that you want to be an entrepreneur yet?

I knew. I was told that modeling has a five-year shelf life. And my principal told me because I felt abandoned. I felt like everyone abandoned me by letting me go to New York. I was like, but like, how am I going to, I have no money? Like, how am I going to make it? You'll be fine. You'll be fine. I was like a straight A student. I come from a poor family and I was like, I'm going to make something from my life. You know, I was really smart and I was like, I am going to make something from my life. So you're resourceful. I was like, but I was like, this has a five year shelf life. Let me try it. And then I'm going to

come back as a mature age student. So I was studying the entire time I was in, but I was like, this has a five year shelf life. Let me try it. And then I'm going to come back as a mature age student. So I was studying the entire time I was in New York. Oh my God. I was like, this is not going to last. Um, and that's what led me into business. I was always thinking that my, the job that I was on was going to be my last. I just didn't know. And I had the longest career.

In fact, like I can still model to this day. It's just whether or not it's, I want to, I wanna leave my kids. It seems like you can pick and choose, yeah. But like my business is so, it's doing really good. It needs a lot of nurturing and attention and it's really where my heart is in that field, like empowering women, especially through this transition.

Where does business start to blossom? Like, what's the first starting point of it? It would have been before I left Australia. So I was like into it right away. Like I was asking my dad when I was 15, I want to save up. I want to buy real estate. Yeah. And I was really into it. I was just like even when I first started making money,

like a lot of money modeling, my first year I made a lot of money, I didn't spend any of it. I just bought real estate. So with all three pregnancies, I have taken ritual. And the reason that I have taken the number one bestselling prenatal ritual is because you know what you're getting. Everything is traceable. So they select bioavailable key nutrients that are designed for optimal absorption. So

we've talked about this on the Gary Brekka episode. It's very, very important to have a methylated folate. This is clinically proven to be well absorbed and it's demonstrated over time a more efficient utilization of folate versus a leading prenatal with folic acid. So when you're reaching for a prenatal, you want to make sure it's methylated folate and Ritual covers all this for you. I feel like what Ritual is selling me is peace of mind. I don't have to worry about what's in my supplement or what's going to the baby. It's just all covered. Their prenatal multivitamin also has a lot of things that support breast milk, which is awesome if you're going to breastfeed. So they really think about

milk, which is awesome if you're going to breastfeed. So they really think about the mom and the baby as a whole. I've just had a really positive experience with this brand. I'm a huge fan of the founder Kat. She's a mom and she is designing everything for moms. Don't settle for less than evidence-based support. Get 40% off your first month at ritual.com slash skinny.

It what like I felt rich in my household because of the love and the food and the family. You know? Yeah. It was just to me money represented like, it's funny because it's not true, but money represented like if you had money, you wouldn't fight.

I didn't want to fight with my husband because I saw my parents fight over money a lot. Huh. And I was like I don't want to fight over money so let me just make money so then I don't fight but obviously that's not true. It's just a little bit, no there's something, you'll find something else to fight about. Yeah and so I just like didn't need anything if that makes sense. So like when I was younger I, when I made a lot of money I literally called my family when I was younger, I, when I made a lot of money, I literally called my family and I was like, what do you guys need? And I bought my grandparents a house, they, their house that they grew up in, they, you know, it was, it was overrun by like some crime.

And we, we literally like bought a piece of land and built them a house nicer than a house than I've ever lived in. You know, especially in New York, you pay so much money for a shitty little box. But, and then I called my dad and I was like, do you need anything? And he was like, no, I'm good. And then he was like, I just want you to move back to Australia. So let's buy some property here. And I did that. And I, all the time I was like wearing like metal militia sweatshirts and like,

my mom wasn't like super into fashion. So it didn't, she didn't really like, you know, wearing like metal militia sweatshirts and like my mom wasn't like super into fashion. So it didn't she didn't really like you know she was more into like gardening and cooking and dirt bikes and you know it was just like not a thing for me to spend thousands of dollars on a bag. It makes sense though because the juxtaposition of you is that it seems like like I just said you're really down to earth, but you also have such a taste and such a eye. So it's almost like that. It seems like you got that

from like the modeling and the culture and all the things around it and seeing all these people's houses. Yeah. But then you do have that, like it's, I could see how your mother's like that. It's a great mix. I mean, don't you think it's a good mix? I think it's a, like, it's kind of like, if I invest in something, it's like diamonds, jewelry. Love diamonds and jewelry. Love a Chanel bag. Love a G-Wagon, for example. Like, it's the things that, like, hold value. But what I, like, so I don't invest in trend, right? Okay. So the bump suit is not a trend. Right. That's why I like it. So I don't invest in trend, right? So the bump suit is not a trend, but I will accessorize it with beautiful things that are timeless.

So I don't really, I'm not like a person of trend. I'm about a person that loves timeless things that can last forever in your wardrobe. So I was like, bump suit has to be that for me because it's going to last for maternity or beyond into however long you want to wear it. Fitness motherhood. Yes, it's like the whole uniform. You have to tell us the story of Naomi Campbell. Yeah.

You have to tell us that story. I am obsessed with her first of all. Like she is an icon. A gazelle. Like it's Naomi Campbell. I mean. She is an icon. A gazelle. Like it's Naomi Campbell.

I mean, I mean, so I love her so much. And I remember sitting before the show. I was in a really interesting time of my life. My dad was, he was battling with cancer and it wasn't going well. My dad really wanted me to do the show because he wanted me to be back in Australia. He always wanted me to be home. And the show was filming in Australia and my dad was living in New York with me doing a cancer treatment.

And he was like, you should do this for your country. And I really wasn't, I didn't feel it like intuitively. And I always think you should listen to your intuition, but I didn't. And I was really like, my mind was elsewhere. You know, I even had like, they ask you when you do shows, what do you want? You can have like, what do you want in your green room? What is your specifications?

Cause you're under like hardcore hours. It's a long filming time. And I was like, I just really want to stick to my cleanse. I was on a cleanse and I had a chef like make food from this book from my nutritionist that was the naturopath that helped me through my pregnancies and everything. And I was really clear and clean, but I was really thinking about my dad. And I'd also just gone through a miscarriage. So you can understand like if you're going through that things that are

arbitrary or seem arbitrary, I just really wasn't with it. So what happens when you have to go show up and do this show? So basically I show up and I know that there was a lot of pre stuff that I'd missed, like Naomi and I were meant to hang out a couple of times and I had to miss a couple of things for personal reasons. And I remember getting on set and thinking, cause the show, the show format is about how you have to battle the other coaches to get the girl.

So like, if me and Naomi wanted the same girl, I have to tell the girl why they should choose me. Okay. Okay. And I was like, what do I, like, what can I give this girl that like Naomi, she, I don't have anything. And I was like, oh, I have more time probably because she's a supermodel. She's like, must be, you know, so busy and like, she's producing the show and

I'm just a little old me. And so I was like, I think I might have one thing that she doesn't have. And I was like, no, no, no, no. And I was like, my time. And then it was like a disaster. And I don't know, like, why? Why? Because she was like, you don't think and I was, I thought it was all for TV. So I was kind of playing along. You don't think I could give the girls my time and then I was fed something in my ear and I like, you know, said it. You're performing though. You're right. It is for TV.

That's what I thought. But it just never got like, and I don't want to throw anyone under the bus. And so I kind of ate it and I took it. And I was like, okay, this is just what it is right now. Who would the girl choose? Of course she's going to choose Naomi. And then one of my girls got pregnant on the show, so I lost her and then she voted off my last girl. And that's the scene where, the scene on the show is like, the girls had to do a runway. They weren't allowed to touch their dress.

But I've done runways in, you know, as I was saying about Carl Lagerfeld, you have to go to fittings till like six o'clock in the morning to make sure the clothes fit you. It's like even at that level, you're really like in fittings at the very high end designers. You're in fittings all night long. Not Kim Kardashian. She has a body double. Yeah. Well, yes, I know. And they have the, yeah. Well, Naomi probably has one too. Yeah, well, yes, I know. And they have the, yeah. Well, Naomi probably has one too. Yeah, probably.

But I was like sitting, you know, so I knew, well, yeah, maybe that's, maybe you actually solved the whole issue. Because I was like, the girls, she was like, your girl held her dress. And I was like, but Naomi, like we're in fittings till 6 a.m. in like Paris and Milan. Like, you know, these girls didn't even get a fitting and then she was like don't compare yourself to me. So there was there was tension on the show which makes for a good show we can't have a flat show. I think they canceled it after that they were really like it was pretty bad the whole thing the way that it was pretty bad. The whole thing,

the way that it was like perceived. And I had a lot of people reach out to me thinking that she was bullying me and the way that I handled it was so graceful. And I was like, no, like it was just all a big miscommunication. And like I saw Naomi afterwards, after I had my baby, we like, you know, she met my baby, she knows my husband well, but it's just funny how the internet can take it or like people can switch it, you know, and make it seem a certain way. We just did an episode on keeping up with the Kardashians because we interviewed

Courtney. Yeah. And in it, in the clip, it shows Courtney sitting down and me saying hi to her and her not standing up, but it doesn't show the whole scene. They edit it. And so when they edit it, you don't see how Courtney was gracious and amazing and so nice and lovely. There's a scene where she's like,

don't compare yourself to me. Like, that's the one. And there's like a scene of her saying, Tyra Banks going like, you said to me, like, don't ever compare yourself to me. And she was like, I would never say that. And then the meme is like her saying to me, don't ever compare yourself to me on TV. But I just think it's, you know, I mean, we have to take these things on the chin and just laugh at them.

And, but I have like, I've always had so much respect for her and it's just crazy how things can get, you know. The media. Yeah. And just shown that way. And, or if she can even perceive, you know, if I, if I was disrespectful towards her in any way, like I was only trying to, you know, put her on a pedestal, you know? I mean, I'd be like, maybe my time?

I want to know how you go from being on a show with Naomi to being the talk of the internet with that, to then having bump suit and being a mom of three. What is the interim of that? The interim. Okay, so from modeling in New York, I always knew that there was something else for me, so I was really doing it. And it was an education. Think about it. You're on sets with art directors, stylists, photographers, the best of the best. I got to meet everybody. I worked for all the magazines, campaigns, runway, everything. I got to be in the houses, like the house of Versace, the house of Gucci, the house of Valentino, everything.

So I was really absorbing everything that was around me. And I was also studying at the new school at the same time. I was studying 20th century literature, sociology, film, acting I was studying. I was really trying to like focus on what's next. Then I met my husband and I really like, as I said, my father was battling cancer. I was really, I had a miscarriage and my husband and I, we wanted to get married first before we had babies, but I was like, I don't want to wait.

And when I was promoting the show, I had like an ovarian cyst and I had to go to the hospital and they had to like put me on drugs to let it pass and the press tour had to get cut. I was going through stuff like that, you know. I really wanted to have kids. Like it was really important to me, so important to me. And I didn't want to not be able to have kids.

So I wanted to transition at that point. And I said to my husband, I really want to have kids. So I wanted to transition at that point. And I said to my husband, I really want to have kids now. I've had at that point, you know, 16 years of modeling. It was way beyond what I thought. I owned properties. I was successful. I was like, I'm good. Like, let's do this. And I moved to Austin to have my first baby. And I just, you know, I started developing a business to empower women. So what, what does it come out of though? Are you like, there's nothing cute on the market? I can't do this Amazon fucking Moo Moo anymore? Like how, where are you like, there is white space here and I'm going to disrupt it.

Yeah, so with Bumpsuit, it was, you know, going through baby number one, baby number two, I had like an extremely traumatic home birth, the first one. Second one went to a hospital, it was great. Third one, I was like, there's not enough information about this. Like there needs to be more talk about this because none of my friends had babies at the time. I read all the books and everything, but I was like, I want more. And so I started investigating and I never bought maternity. I hated maternity. Some people would send me stuff because I was a model and I'd be like, I don't even know how you got my address. Get this out of here. It made me feel so bad about myself and you're already feeling bad about yourself. So I was like, hell no. It's almost like they said like, okay, we're gonna put you in the most unattractive period of your life.

And I'm just speaking from my experience, like you feel you don't feel super attractive at this point. And then they're like, and now we're going to give you something so unattractive to wear on top of that. Yeah. It's with like stretchy toddler bands and things like that. Backwards thinking. Yeah, it is.

And yeah, it's like Edward Scissorhands took to something. And you're like, I already feel like shit. Thanks for making me feel like a science project. And I had two kids and I was really dabbling in business and my husband's always away traveling. I have no family here. And I was like, I need something that I can just put on every day and not have to think about it. Feel comfortable, not have acid reflux like burning my esophagus.

And I just made this thing. You made it. It wasn't a bump suit yet. It was like a four-way stretch, you know, onesie because I had a onesie from like a cheap brand and it was like ripping. It wasn't had no stretch. It had a broken zipper and I was like, let's get some YKK zippers. Let's double line this thing. Let's make some custom fabric. And I just made it for me. And my friend was like, why are you hiding that? Like I never even thought to like innovate in maternity. I was really thinking about innovating in other fields. Like I had a jewelry business and I wanted to innovate

there. And then she was like, you're hiding this from people. Like women need this. You look good. And I would like wear my bum suit and then I would go home and I'd face plant and sleep in it. And then I'd wake up and just put a different jacket on. And you can, you can sleep. I do it all the time. Have you slept in your bum suit? I've done all kinds of things in it.

Yeah. I mean, you should just put a hole in the vagina and I could have sex in it and never get out of it. Yeah. So like it was that bad. Take a whore shower. Yeah. Yes. Listen, it was that bad. Take a horror shower? Yes. Yes. Listen, everything's harder pregnant.

Put a snap at the bottom of it to take it off. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we'll do that. I would, I'm requesting that. I would like one that could be our next collab. Okay, can I have a snap one that I can just open it up? We'll call it the bus stick.

That's how lazy I am at this point. The bus stick. Yeah, and honestly, I was just like, it was like, you know, some things you've, I study meditation and I believe in like, that there's a higher power working through us. And I really acted like a creative portal at that point. And I was like, just tell me what to do. You did for women. Thank you. Yeah.

I was like, tell me what to do. And Bumpsuit, that name came to me and I went home and I trademarked it and I bought the domain and everything. And I was like, how does no one have this name? Bumpsuit. And what year is this? The idea was 2019, but we launched in 2020 right before COVID. Like one month before COVID hit.

Well, you launched in 2020. So 2019, I was developing it. I had like, I was breastfeeding my baby, and I was pregnant with another one, like right after. And so I was really like in the weeds. And who is your first big hit? Because it kind of took off like wildfire. I feel like I saw a lot of really amazing people wearing it.

What was something where you checked your sales on Shopify and you were like, shit? One of those moments was crazy. Like we had a lot of celebrities wearing it, a lot of like influencers wearing it, but the one where the, like I kept my ringer on because I was doing it from home, like fulfilling orders, everything with the baby in a Moses basket. My husband thought I was crazy.

At all the inventory, it was COVID. And the phone, the ringer when the sale hits was still on at that point. And I was like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. It was like crazy. I was like, what is happening? Hannah Bromfman was wearing the support waist trainer, which I actually have on now. I wear it all the time still. And she posted it. She's like, I don't believe in snapback culture, but this product is like it. And she did this whole very real post on Instagram and it just went crazy. I want to talk about this waste trainer.

OK, so a little bit of context with both of my babies that I've had. I've worked with belly bind with Princess. A lot of people who listen to the podcast will know who I'm talking about. She came to in L.A. with my first one, and she would bind my stomach with this beautiful like silk. And then she flew to Austin from Townes and she binded my stomach and she's doing it this time with this baby. But when I started talking to you, you told me that you guys also did this collab where if you can't have Princess come to you and bind you, there's a waist trainer that like literally does it.

And you were telling me how you use it. And I feel like the audience would be very intrigued. That ritual of binding that Princess does, it comes from like ancient rituals. So it's not snapback culture. It's not, it's really not. Pop the uterus back in because it's, mine was hanging out. You need it as a woman.

Like it's like an ancient ritual. Aravita culture, Aravita, they have Aravita postpartum dollars, which I have after studying like transcendental meditation. It was like really important for me to follow the philosophies which is really supporting the woman to recover after birth. So the binding of the stomach traditionally is actually to help support your organs come back into place and your spine and to give you a core because you're breastfeeding right

after if you are able to. So what are you going to do? Like, how are you going to support yourself at night? You need something, you know, it provides compression. It's all about healing. And in Aravita, they have vata, kapha and pitta energy. So when you have a baby, you have a lot of vata energy, which is air energy. So you feel like once you give birth, you feel light, like all that weight is gone.

So you need to ground yourself again. And all of the warm foods, warm teas, foods like chai lattes, things like this, and all the warm food is meant to be the only thing you eat for two weeks after you give birth in Ayurvedic culture. So I was like, how do we do that in a very practical way? Because who has time to bind? It takes a long time and it's really, it's really quiet. It can be aggressive. So we developed the support waist trainer, which is like, yeah, show us.

Okay. You guys got to go on YouTube so you can get a show. Carson, don't get too excited. So we have like throw it to me. I have it on. You have, you're wearing the actual. I'm wearing it. So yeah, like throw it to me. I have it on. You're wearing the actual. I'm wearing it. So yeah, I wear it.

Oh, you're wearing it with a bra. I thought that was a body suit. You guys are going to have to go see that. So it's a bump suit bra with the waist trainer. Yeah. And so basically it's like, it's actually really low. It goes over the hip bone. You know, that is so cute.

It almost looks like a body suit. Yeah. It's really thin and it's just got a boning in it. So it's not like aggressive. It's really stretchy. See? Also, I feel like it's designed, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's like designed for a woman whereas like the ones on Amazon feel like they're like thrown together.

This looks like something I would like wear out under what you're wearing. Yeah, you can wear it under jeans. And you still wear it even though I wear it all the time. We wear it in the office. Why? It supports like even our pediatrician wears it because she had back surgery. People that work in an office job wear it. I wear it when I'm working out on planes. it's like the best thing to stop bloating.

Because it holds you up. Oh, that's so smart. Like you know how you get bloated. So it's like compression socks for your stomach. Exactly. Compression socks for your stomach. Like I, if I don't wear this on the plane, I'm bloated and I'm also so gassy too. If I wear this, it's...

Should I not have said that? So tell me how you wear it post-mortem. I fly with her, I know. Jen's like, woo! It's getting hot in here. So yeah, so basically it's a compression band for post-partum healing, but also you can wear it through life to stop bloating. You can wear it to sleep.

You can wear it as comfortable enough to sleep in and you can wake up with a flat stomach. It's overall just really helpful. So say someone's giving birth. Yeah. You said you put it on in the hospital. I put it on like 24 hours after I gave birth. You have to talk to your doctor, obviously. I talk to your doctor.

I say this every episode though. It's like I felt so great. Did you go like a larger size than you would think? Yeah, usually like size down. So I'll get like one or two sizes above and I'll like really just see how I'm feeling. And it just holds everything in. Yeah, it does. It supports you. It supports you. It helps you. Like the way that I would describe it, if I would just describe it in words, is like when you put it on, you feel automatically like a superhero. You just feel better. You're standing up straight. You're like, I'm ready to tackle this. Also, you've been like Quasimodo hunched over, hunched back a Notre Dame

for like Dom, whatever. Yeah. Nine to 10 months. It Notre Dame for like, Dom, whatever. Nine to 10 months, it's kind of like, ah. Yeah. It feels so good. Like, I just feel like, you know, I can do this. It's just that feeling is like, I've got this. So like getting your makeup done, you're like, okay. You feel fresh.

Yeah, you're just like, okay, this is what I need. It's like a superpower. And you can sleep in it and you can wear it forever because I wear my my belly bind that princess does for me I think I wore it for like a week yeah like you kept it on yeah so that's the thing is like I mean I was committed princess she she might even do it for you she'll put our support waist trainer on underneath her binding okay so just extra support yeah it's they really pair really well together. Well, what I wanted to do was continue the energy

of what Princess did after she left. And now that I know that I can do that with your waist trainer. Yeah, it's genius. This is like, I can't believe you didn't have this on the first two babies. Because this was like one of our first products we had ten and this was this we've had this since the beginning and it's still our

best-selling product. I think what I have found so interesting about doing this collaboration with you is your your stuff is not just for pregnancy it's not just for maternity like it really can take you throughout each chapter of a woman's journey. Like the postpartum journey, like you can use the waist trainer. And then I also saw you in the shoot in the super cute jumpsuit.

It was like a workout athleisure jumpsuit. My best friend Gillian, she I think went and bought it and she's not pregnant. Like it's just really flattering. Yeah. You know, Bumpsuit, I don't, I hate maternity wear. So like we call ourselves like the non-maternity, maternity company. Yeah.

So everything that we sell, you can wear afterwards and we actually fit it that way. So when we are developing product, we have a pregnant model and a non-pregnant model. And we have to make sure that it fits both so that you're investing in a wardrobe piece for the future. Yeah and so like all the bump suits you know the Lucy the one that we have in the collab it's the best-selling bump suit style I wear that all the time still to this day it's just so easy. It's so comfortable. It's so easy and it really easy to style you can wear it lounging you can wear it on a date night it, whatever, you can put sneakers on and go for a walk in it. It's just one and done. It's versatile.

You know? Yeah. Yeah. And so that's why it's been, I think, so successful is, and nobody's been able to duplicate it. There's so many copies out there, but we have like custom fabric and nobody has been able to get our softness. You also have your team and your essence, which makes a big difference. Yeah, our community is beautiful. Like our team and our community, it really just makes going to work so much joy.

It's like, wow, I get to do this. And all of our community is really involved in developing products with us and testing them and trying them out and giving feedback. in developing products with us and testing them and trying them out and giving feedback. We really want to make motherhood like desirable from a product perspective. It's like, you don't want to think I'm pregnant. You want to think like, I get to wear a bump suit. I get to rock a bump suit. I get to wear that active wear. I get to get the armadillo baby carrier. I get to get the sport waist trainer. Like we're going into beauty very soon. We're bringing out a postpartum kit like this year, and we're bringing humor and joy and like really just trying to raise the vibration and bring some kind of like energizing spirit

and camaraderie into this crazy journey that us women have to go on. It's like, you know, I'm just always like, whatever we do, let's make people smile. Like, how do we infuse a smile? How do we get a smile in there? And so we're really just bringing that like lightheartedness and camaraderie to our products. And it's really exciting, like what we have planned, because you're really going to see that essence in the postpartum kit. And when we go into beauty, it's like really innovative there. When we go, we're going into other product categories too down the line. And it's just like, how do we make it like desirable?

Like, Oh, I'm pregnant. I get to wear a bum suit and I'll have the products forever. A collab with you. This is exactly, this is why I wanted to do the collab with you in the first place because I am someone who has worn the brand in my pregnancies. It's made me feel so much better in a time where you don't necessarily feel the best. And when I look forward to putting it on. And so I was like, I feel like everyone who is in my community,

if they have not tried Bumstoo, which I'm sure a lot of them have, they have to try it. It's like a no-brainer. Why did you decide and how do you pick who you collab with? So we've been dying to collab with you. I know, I feel like it's synergistic. We've been manifesting it for so long. We both were manifesting it. I'm such a fan. And honestly, I feel like it's synergistic. We've been manifesting it for so long. We both were manifesting it.

I'm such a fan. And honestly, I was saying to my team today, getting to work with you, like you're my favorite person we've ever worked with. You're so incredibly creative, really a part of the process, like loved having all of your feedback. Like it's a true collaboration.

Sometimes when you work with people, it's like you get a bit of them or their team. But with you, it's like so cool to see how involved you are, you know, with everything. I want it to be a home run. I always say this to our team. Like it's so important. I feel like you guys have the same ethos that it's a home run for, for three entities. It has to be a home run for me. It has to be a home run for me. It has to be a home run for you.

But most importantly, it has to be a home run for the community. And I think sometimes with collaborations, people are just looking at like you and I, it needs to also be a home run for them. And I want them to open this box and be so excited and feel the same way that I felt the whole time wearing this. Yeah, I'm wearing I'm wearing a bump suit right now. If you guys watch YouTube to my whole outfit head to toe, it's so comfortable. You actually introduced me to this set.

What is this set called? So this is new for us. It was our first denim, like so cute, our first kind of like venture internet. It sold out like immediately. I think it sold out in like a day. Is it sold out now? Yeah. I think we're getting, we're going to get it back. It's on pre-order. Okay. I'm obsessed with this. Yeah, it's on pre-order. So the denim, because I'm like so anti toddler stretchy band denim. So the denim, I just can't, the denim you can wear afterwards

and it's gonna be so cute. It's like a boat pant, it's like a fold over. Really cute. I feel fresh and I don't feel like an old sow. Yeah, and that's exactly what we're trying to do is like make you feel like I'm pregnant, but I'm still me. Yeah, right?

Like I'm not an udder. You know? Sometimes like when I'm sleeping, it feels like a cow on the side. Like, you know, can you picture it? Like that's when I put bump suit on, I don't feel like that. That's how I would describe bump suits.

How do you balance your husband who's extremely successful, your success and three children. What are your secrets? And I don't know if balance is a good word, but. Yeah, look, I'm not one of those people that are like, I just do it. Like, I think something always gets sacrificed.

100%. And, you know, I have to choose, like, what is gonna get sacrificed. And I, it's not perfect. I really, right now, am really focused on trying to find a balance, but, you know, something's got to give. The kids right now are in that stage, you know, they're not babies anymore. It's hard for me to put them with a babysitter because, or a nanny, because I'm just,

they need mom and dad. So I'm really like focusing on time with them. Like I'll do like a foot massage every night for 20 minutes for each of them, just to like, this is a new thing by the way. What? Because they're actually talking and when your kids start actually having full conversations with you, And when your kids start actually having full conversations with you, it's awesome to, I'm not a story. I don't like, I like them reading books to me, but like when I started reading books to them, I do it, but I fall asleep. It puts me to sleep too.

And I'm like, I have like a hundred emails in my inbox. Like I can't be going to sleep. So I changed my ritual for like, you read to me while I give you a foot massage or we can talk about your day. So they get to choose. Amazing. And they're all like reading now.

So how old? 10, seven and five. Okay. And so, you know, usually they all wanna talk to me about their day. So it's a really great bonding time that we have together. And that has been monumental. Also, I'm a glass half full person.

I look at things like what's the positive, not what's the negative. Bobby, we had the founder on the podcast and it was crazy to hear all about the formula industry. Bobby isn't just another formula. And it was crazy to hear all about the formula industry. Bobby isn't just another formula, it's a movement. And it's one that was started with a mom who wanted something better for her babies and yours. And they have done three years of research, testing, retesting with a mom led development to create Bobby.

Bobby has launched the world's first USDA organic whole milk infant formula that's manufactured right here in the United States. And a lot of people have asked why whole milk? Because milk fat matters. So it's the closest formula to breast milk with creamy goodness plus fewer plant-based oils. What I like about this formula is it has DHA in it and this supports brain development which is really really important in the first year of life. Their ingredients also meet the strictest organic standards literally in the world because USDA organic isn't something you buy it's something that you have to earn. They're clean label certified and recently

named Consumer Reports top choice for formula. It's trusted by 500,000 plus parents nationwide and counting. Plus, it tastes good. Don't take my word for it, your baby's bottle will tell you. And we got to try it on air. We literally got to try the formula. It's really good.

There is not a night that goes by that I miss mouth taping. And the first thing that I notice is I wake up with way more energy. When you're nose breathing all night, you get so much more oxygen. It's incredible.

And also it supports your tongue posture while you sleep, which sculpts your jawline and makes it stronger. So what I've noticed is better tongue posture, better sleep, more energy in the morning. I cannot live without it. The other night I actually fell asleep for like two hours without my mouth tape and I woke up with a dry mouth. I felt like I was almost like hung over. I can't explain it.

I have to have this as my nightly routine. So what I do is after my skincare, I put the Skinny Confidential mouth tape on. It has a tiny little slit so you can use a straw if you get thirsty in the middle of the night to drink. And then I sleep with it all night. And then in the morning, I mist my face, I remove it and it is the sleep hack of a lifetime.

I know anyone who is looking for a better sleep, more energy in the morning and a more sculpted jawline will love it. You can shop it now at shopskinnyconfidential.com. That's shopskinnyconfidential.com. How do you and your husband keep it sexy when he's gone? What's the tips? Like, put on a butt suit.

Is that still a thing? No, I don't even mean like sex. I just mean like, how did you guys go on date night? Like what do you guys do to keep it spicy? Not necessarily just with sex. I think like distance makes it spicy. Yeah. Like I couldn't imagine having...

Oh, I could use some distance. Yeah. Fuck, he's up my ass. I think it's great to have a little distance. Sometimes when Michael's driving me so nuts, I will give him distance. I'll create distance. It's important. Yeah, I agree.

I want him to call me and be like, when are you home? Yeah. And I'm like, trust me. Michael, if you're listening, you know, maybe take a trip. That's the book. I want all of my daughters to read that book. Why Men Love Bitches. I think it's a really important book for women to read to be empowered, feel empowered.

It's like there was this woman, she was like a god-ass laying on a sunbed and her husband was by her and he walked away for a second. She looked at me and Jen and she was like, do you know how much power you have? And I was like, whoa, like, I don't know if I know. Hold on, that's the next bump suit commercial. You should do that woman laying on a lounge chair wearing bump suit and that's what she says. Before we get into the whole collaboration,

you have to tell us before, wellness, diet, beauty, health, any secrets that you have. So you look amazing after three children. Like what's the tips? Are you a certain diet? We care spa. I don't know if you've heard of it. We care spa. If you haven't, girls weekend, we're going. I've been going to this place for like 15 years and Donna Karen and Tom Ford, you know, they frequent this place and she's just like renovated it and it's gorgeous. It's basically like a detox retreat, but it's based around colonics. Okay.

It's all about the lymph system. So I'm all about the lymph system. So like jumping on the trampoline with my kids, I'm like, this is so fun. There's a trampoline outside of your room, like a mini one. So smart. Yep. You've really got to shake it up. So I really believe in that sauna every day.

I have an infrared sauna at my house. That's something I was like, am I going to pay, you know, $15,000 to go on this trip or am I going to pay $15,000 and get an infrared sauna in my house that I'll have forever? Agreed. I think it's the best investment and I've got the biggest sauna. You can get one that's like three grand, but it's the best investment to make because you should be using it every day you can. There is so much toxicity in what we eat and what we drink and what we breathe and you need to get it out.

So I really believe in like sweating, the lymph system, dry brushing, anything that evolves around lymphatic system and draining it. Yeah. And so I go to a weekend spa like once a year and I also do like a cleanse where I'll like not eat for a day just to give my system a reset. I don't do colonics at all during the year. I only do them there. Okay. Because I don't know if it's good for your gut health to be doing colonics and I don't

do colonics just to flatten my stomach. I use the support waist trainer instead, but I will, I will literally just do them there for a really intense period. And they also are giving you probiotics and you're eating a certain way. You're having smoothies. So it's like really good for that. You should look it up. It's magical.

And you're also doing at the same time, like a lot of like, you know, you're doing magnesium wraps and you use a lot of castor oil, which you use. I love castor oil. Use a lot of castor oil. And how many days do you go? You can go anywhere from two nights to like seven nights. I mean, some people live there. There's people that have been there, but it really honestly, since I took a break from going there while I was pregnant and breastfeeding, and I went back three years ago and I haven't been sick, like not even a cold since I've been going there. And I also did this crazy thing.

So you take phosphoric acid three times a day while you're there for three days. And then on the last day, you do like a quarter of a cup of olive oil and a quarter of a cup of lemon juice and you shut it and then you got to lay on your side for 30 minutes, I think 30 minutes. And the next day I had like in my colonic, like green, like lime green color, like stones about like 30 of of them, this big, start, come out of me. From what? It's like all the buildup.

And basically what happens- Did you feel so good? I've never felt better. I have never felt better. It was like I was carrying a weight. I bet you it was heavy too. Also anesthesia and epidural and birth and blah and all the makeup and beauty products. Alcohol, all the processing.

Yeah. So it was so crazy because I actually like, it's so gross, but so I did my colonic and colonics is so clean there as well. It's like going to get a massage. Like you don't smell anything. There's no like nothing. But they didn't pass in my colonic, but I went to the bathroom.

I felt this like pain afterwards. I went to the bathroom and they passed and the colonic person was like, take a photo. So I got my iPhone to take a photo and it was an automatic toilet and it flushed. So I never got to show her because they're really obsessed. Carson really wanted to see it. So that he's really bummed that you don't have that photo

on your phone as a screen saver. They're obsessed with what comes out of your body. It's crazy. But I bet they can dissect it. You know what happens? It's because of the phosphoric acid. So it softens and it softens the whatever there's hardened whatever it is in there that it spits out. that it's like microplastics who knows what it is yeah and so when you well if it if they pass through to your gore it's a gore stone does

does it hurt after it only feels good it hurt right before i passed them it was like a pain and then i've never felt better since that happened. I've never felt better. It almost, this sounds weird, but like we accumulate so many different things as humans as we get older and go on, that you almost don't even know that you don't feel good until a weight is lifted. Yes. Does that make sense? Definitely. Yeah.

And I could see why that's something that you're like, whoa, I didn't even know how bad I felt. Yeah. Yes. And I'm like, everyone needs to do this. I want to try that. I think, you know, it depends on your body type, but I think when you go to WeeKespa, they do the biometric profiling. So you do bio feedback, it's called, and they can tell like what's going on in your body. Okay. You sold me on that. It's really crazy. Lauren Bostic Time's Bumpsuit. It's live, a collaboration that I am personally so proud of. And I don't even know if you know this,

but I have never done a collaboration where I've put my name on it. I've done skinny confidential collaborations, but this is really special to me because I was able to curate everything with you and your incredible team every step along the way. So I'm very excited about that. We're so honored.

And there's limited. It's exclusive, so it will sell out. But why I'm excited is that you don't have to be pregnant to get these kits. Okay. So you can be just someone who wants to feel flattered and tight and held in in the cutest, most stylish, elevated, intentional clothing. Tell us from your perspective what each kit contains. So the kit that is the no-brainer that everyone needs to get is the sleep kit. Yes. The cloud loungewear, which is so comfortable.

I think you were wearing when you announced your pregnancy. This is so weird. And we were like, oh my god, she's wearing Bumsy. We have to work with her. I think you were wearing the cloud pants. I was, but also you guys, pajamas irritate your lymphatic system. So I never really wear them except with this set. It doesn't cut you off.

I love this set. It's really interesting. Like Ruma Willis, she said that Bumpsuit fabric was the only fabric that she could wear that didn't irritate her skin, which is crazy. It's so soft. Like there's nothing like it, but the Cloud set is unbelievable.

And that is in the first kit with the mouth tape so you'll have the best sleep ever and it's I think you can choose out of the ice pink cloud set which is new or the ivory cloud set cloud is just like everyone needs a cloud set and the ice pink is like so pale it's almost white yeah it's not like it's not like like really loud pink it's almost white. Yeah. It's not like really loud pink. It's the perfect, like really pale shade. Yeah. It's beautiful.

Buttery soft. Yeah, buttery soft. Yeah. And then for the second kit, it's like a new mom kind of kit. So it's got the support waist trainer, the Lucy, which you can wear through pregnancy and postpartum,

and the armadillo baby carrier with the mouth tape and the mint roller, which I'm so obsessed with. I love that you love it. And that's like, I mean, I love all the products. I was like, how do we do more? And that's, yeah, we might have to do some more kits. Well, yeah, I feel like we have a lot of fun things that we can do. Yeah.

In the next a couple months or a year, we have a lot of fun things that we can do. Yeah. In the next a couple months or year. We have some ideas brewing. Lauren Bustick for Bumpsuit Sleep Kit and Lauren Bustick for Bumpsuit Ultimate Mom Kit. Yep. And also I did a curated edit on your site of my favorites. Yes. This is the only baby carrier I will be wearing.

And there's a reason for that. You explained how you thought about it. You thought about it really differently than another baby carrier. So explain that. Yes. So I had like the most beautiful baby carrier when I had my babies, but it was like the most stunning one, but it just had no utility. We have to have utility.

Yeah. And also like, I can't be buckling into like Fort Knox. No. Like a mental institution jack. I got to just strap it on. Yeah, exactly. It has to be easy. Time.

Like moms are on the go. Yeah. User-friendly. So ours is super user-friendly. It's the easiest one to get on, but it also has utilities. So it has a back lumbar, which is so important to support your sacrum after giving birth, especially you need that. And you can wear it for hours and hours and hours with no pain. It's very well balanced. It has padding in the

straps, but the weight balance is really great. I use it with my three and a half year old, which is, you know, she's just way too big for it, but she still loves it. And I can wear her in it, which is like, you know, you don't need to do that. Do you think I could wear my two year old? If you're, yeah. Yes, you can definitely wear your two year old. How's Michael use it while you're pregnant? Can I use it on Michael right now?

Yeah. Yeah. I just got that mother fucker empathy belly. Do you know what that is? Yes. Yeah, it's a fake stomach for him to wear all day long. I want to see a photo. All day long.

You have to post it. Maybe he can wear empathy belly and I will get strapped in on his chest with a bump suit. Yeah. The one that I bought is the oyster one. Yeah. And this is amazing that you're telling me

I can wear my two year old in it. Yeah, you can. Definitely. I mean, a hundred percent. Okay. We have a phone pocket. We have a pocket for your water bottle, anything you want to hang off of it. We have a weather cover as well. Smart. Which like, you can breastfeed in it. Yes. Breastfeeding privacy cover, you can just kind of

loosen the strap and go on a hike and breastfeed at the same time. Do we have a code for everyone to go shop? Let's make one, okay? Go to bumpsuit.co and use code skinny, you get 15% off.
