Important and relevant!

I’ve followed Christina, Signe and Alyssa for over a year and their take on underconsumption, creativity, sustainable spending, and intentionality has truly changed how I approach all these aspects in my life. The long form aspect of this podcast is so good, and listening to them is educational and relaxing. Good work ladies!

One of my favorite podcasts!

These ladies and their guests are so insightful and they just keep getting better. I appreciate that they don’t just talk fashion, though I love when they do, but they also discuss how we can be more intentional in all aspects of life. Thank you for this podcast!

Best fashion podcast with deep insights

I love this podcast. The crew dived deep into fashion topics that help you work with items you already have in your wardrobe. They are thoughtful, insightful, and open - sharing their own experiences and tough love on hard topics. I’m always looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for this great content!

Best Fashion Podcast

This is the best fashion podcast/youtube I’ve come across. I like how all three hosts have different styles and they really get me to think about my clothing and purchases. They also get me to think and be more creative with the clothes I do have. It’s not a show encouraging consumption, but a thought provoking show. Very refreshing!

Slow Fashion Trio

Alyssa, Signe, and Christina are three like minded slow fashion mavens, and the conversation is always interesting and compelling. I look forward to every episode. Love to hear the discussion topics and their perspectives. The best!

A Refreshing Take on Fashion!

I love Sustain This! It’s so much more than a fashion podcast—it’s about rethinking how we consume and live more intentionally. The hosts do such a great job exploring mindful consumption, personal style, and how to create a wardrobe (and life) that truly reflects your values. It’s inspiring, thought-provoking, and packed with practical tips that make slow fashion feel approachable and fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking to embrace a more intentional and sustainable way of living!

Who is their audience?

I was enjoying listening to these ladies. Like alot of women, I’m on a quest to find my style, consume less and be mindful of my purchases. But when there were a couple moments where the discussion made fun of those who wear printed jeans (me) or still like to style a scarf (also me), I was a little offended. Too bad, I felt like I could have been inspired but now I just feel like they are talking to other stylists.

Favorite podcast

I don’t know how this podcast is not more famous. I love how these women are thoughtful and insightful and discuss style in a way that is authentic and meaningful instead of trendy or buzzy. Thank you for making a podcast that isn’t trite, and that doesn’t follow the typical sellout mode. This is a true gem, and I always feel like I’ve been lifted up and given permission to be freely creative every time I listen. What a difference from the restrictive and capitalistic fashion chatter that’s been surrounding conversations about style for decades. Thank you!

So worth my time

These women are always so thoughtful and helpful in their musings and advice about fashion. I’m so grateful for their work, it has saved me a lot of money and given me a lot of helpful perspective. Thanks!

Great podcast

I’ve been following these creators on YouTube and recently discovered this podcast. It has quickly become a favorite!
catgirl 340416

One of my fav podcasts

This is definitely one of my top ten favorite podcasts and I certainly listen to every episode. I love following these creators on YouTube and really enjoy all of their discussions. I feel more motivated to avoid over spending and get much better use out of my wardrobe with their inspiration and insights.

Great podcast, poor audio quality

I love this podcast and do follow each host on YouTube. I think they talk about interesting topics regarding fashion and sustainability and offer great advice on how to style clothing. However, the audio quality is horrendous. I realize they’re located in different parts of the world, but the audio is scratchy and cuts in and out like a bad zoom call. I love Alyssa and her energy, but each time she talks I have to turn down the volume because she is so passionate… not that being passionate is bad but for audio purposes, not so great.

New Favorite Podcast

I love these ladies! I follow them all on YouTube separately and just found out they have a podcast together. And I am so happy they came to together for this podcast. The way they chat about fashion, sustainability, and life is so informative and fun. I love listening to these ladies and look forward to more and more episodes!

The way to style

This show’s focus on internal creativity as antidote to eternal consumption encourages and inspires. For Christina—hearing you talk about your regrets over your Saint Laurent Smoking Moto, a thought. The ironic bite of that YSL design is it was actually marketed as a “No Smoking!” jacket. There’s an X over the smoking lips (which, nonetheless, are classically attractive, as now-banned tobacco ads of old). Perhaps that will help with the dissonance felt between your job and the style? Love your work and style. Best, a trying-to-be-sustainably-stylish-physician

Like getting inspo from your girlfriends

I love this podcast! Multiple times after listening to these three fashionable ladies I have deleted items out of my online carts because I feel inspired to work with what I already have and not fall into trends. They are inspiring and realistic at the same time. Thank you!

Informative and fun!

This podcast is so informative, thoughtful, calming, and a pleasure to listen to. I really like the way all three women take their time and consider each topic and talk about sustainable fashion, less consumption, etc. in an insightful and inspiring way. It’s encouraging to listen to their honest opinions and experiences to help me in my own day-to-day mindfulness and style journey.

Slow fashion at its best!

I randomly searched slow fashion podcast to see what was out there and was so excited when this was the first suggestion. I follow each of you on YouTube, but had no idea you all came together on a podcast. Great conversation, fabulous ideas (as always). Thanks!
JustJK.

Wonderful!

turquoisemango

Love this podcast!

I’ve loved listening to these conversations so far. Thank you all for being so thoughtful, kind, and fun - this is now one of my go-to podcasts when I want to listen to something something cozy and comforting that also gives me new perspectives to think about :)

Heartfelt and genuine

Another great episode! Love the great tips with shopping secondhand! Can’t wait for an episode devoted to fabric as this is an area I want to grow in! Absolutely adore the three of you! You are all so genuine, honest, and vulnerable in regards to fashion, shopping, and hustle and bustle of life. It makes my day listening to your conversations and I always leave the episode inspired and grateful for your podcast!

Fabulous 👍💝

Thank you for teaching me to look at my wardrobe and my clothes in a different way. I started working with a wish list and my shopping habbits keep changing (severely!). I got an app that helps me keeping track on what I own and how I put outfits together. What do you think about these kind of apps? Looking forward to learn more from you.

Thoughtful Fashion Content

So glad these three decided to do a podcast…TOGETHER! Taking their YouTube content to a deeper level, Sustain This! Will teach you something worthwhile about conscious consumption, thoughtful fashion, and being self-reflective in a positive way.
ECBOregon

Like a conversation with (knowledgeable) friends

This is a great, relaxing listen— with lots of great perspectives on personal style, sustainable fashion, how to think about updating and using your wardrobe. I’ve appreciated all three of the hosts on YouTube since 2020, and hearing their discussions about these topics is helpful and enjoyable.
joyfulnoise82857

Really important conversations!

I really love the conversations that they’ve had so far - such important commentary around style and mindful consumption. I’ve followed all three of these youtubers separately and listening to them together is a delight. They each bring something special to the conversations. I love the emphasis on more creativity and less consumption. If you are honing your closet and style, and trying to do it mindfully, definitely have a listen!

A Sigh if Style Relief

This podcast is amazing. Alyssa, Christina and Signe are the perfect combination. I feel the pressure of having to buy clothes in pursuit of the “right now” and the “wear this to look cool and perfect” is slowly being lifted from my shoulders after each listen. Thank you ladies for making this space fun and accessible.
acaknin

Great conversations and insight

I really enjoyed the conversation about how fashion is not frivolous and how what we wear, where it’s sourced and the contributions of animals and humans along the way prove this idea. I’ll be back!

Mindful collab

To have each of your perspectives bounce off each other is brilliant... so inspired by each of your YouTube channels and such a treat to listen and hang out in the self care, slow fashion, personal style, and minimalism space.

Love!

Such a great podcast from my three favorite bright and pragmatic wardrobe YouTubers! Looking forward to much, much more :).
APhillippi

Love these ladies!

My 3 favorite YouTubers created a podcast! Yay!!!!! I LOVE learning more about each of your backgrounds. I resonate the most with Christina since I’m currently in the “get out of debt” and stop compulsive shopping phase of life. Excited to hear more!
LoMcCombs

Love Personal Style and Slow Fashion, great conversations
