The Vixen Voice: Empowering Ambitious Gen X Women Entrepreneurs to Embrace Their Femininity and Unlock Their Full Potential

Have you ever thought about how much your wardrobe distracts you throughout the day? From uncomfortable shoes to restrictive clothing, these seemingly small annoyances can add up and take a toll on your productivity, health, and even your happiness.

In this episode April Roberts chats with Dr. Steffie Thompson, a neuroscientist who has taken her scientific expertise and applied it to women’s fashion. Founder of Getaway Sticks, a shoe company built on the principles of comfort, functionality, and style, Dr. Steffie shares her journey from cognitive neuroscience to footwear design. She highlights how traditional women’s fashion, largely designed by men, often overlooks women's comfort and physical health, leading to cognitive distractions that affect daily life.

Dr. Steffie and April dive into the importance of women being in the room for design decisions, the health impacts of poorly designed shoes and clothing, and how Dr. Steffie is disrupting the footwear industry with her innovative designs. They also discuss how you can simplify your wardrobe to improve your mental focus and reduce decision fatigue.
