Claire Hacker - Founder of OKAY TO REST - mental health chats :)

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Today's guest is miss Claire Hacker. Claire is currently a psych student focusing on trauma healing and the founder of the up-and-coming brand, Okay To Rest. If you’re from Vancouver especially, you’ve definitely seen her Instagram - she creates the comfiest and most stylish sweatsuits and accessories. Launching it only in 2020, she has completely sold out of her last two capsules. She started it with the belief that no one should ever feel guilt when resting their mind, body or soul. 

Within the height of what feels like a major “hustle/grind” movement that often seeks to glorify constant strain and burnout, it can be so easy to fall into a self-loathing cycle of guilt and exhaustion.

Claire is here to remind you that, especially in the height of a global pandemic, your responses to stress and uncertainty, whatever they may look like, are completely natural and VALID!

I absolutely LOVE the mission of her company and I had so much fun chatting with Claire. We talk about a range of different topics from disordered eating, the importance of rest and talking about mental health, running a business with no experience, imposter syndrome, and where she sees Okay To Rest in the future. I think we even end the episode by talking about the Twilight soundtrack hahaha. Very on brand for me. Hope you enjoy! :)
