## Resource

#285: She became one of the most iconic bridal designers in the world before she turned 30. Her dresses defined an era of weddings, built a cult following, and made her name synonymous with modern bridal fashion. Then she lost the rights to her own name–and fought vigorously to get it back. The iconic Hayley Paige is sharing the unbelievable story behind the headlines: the lawsuit that took away her brand, identity, and career as she knew it, and the years-long fight to rebuild her life and reclaim her voice. But this episode is about so much more than contracts or fashion. It’s about people-pleasing, ambition, resilience, and learning to advocate for yourself before the world forces you to. Josie and Hayley also chat all things wedding trends, bridal looks they love, and what it's like being in their bridal eras. This episode is brought to you by Veet.
