Hi everyone, I'm Hilary Kerr, the co-founder and chief contact officer of Hu Upwear, and

this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting

aside their doubts or fears, and what happens when they embark on their Second Life.

Today on the podcast, I'm speaking with Lauren Chan, the founder and CEO of Henning, a luxury

women's wear brand for Women's size 12 and up.

Lauren launched Henning just last year after deciding to leave her job at Glamour magazine,

where she was the fashion teacher's editor and had her own column on size inclusivity.

Since launching Henning, the brand has provided chic, functional and beautifully tailored clothing

to a previously underserved demographic and its resonating deeply.

But, before her days at Glamour and even before she was freelance writing for magazines

like Vogue, Interview and Cosmo, Lauren was signed with Ford Models coming up in the industry

alongside women like Ashley Graham.

I can't wait for you to hear how Lauren has pivoted her career in such a meaningful way

and how she's making a difference in the lives of women all over with Henning.

Now, on Second Life, it's Lauren Chan.

Lauren, thank you so much for doing this.

I'm so excited.

Oh my gosh, I'm the one who's excited.

I'm quite forward to being included, actually, and so, so lucky to be in such incredible

content on one of the best best podcasts around.

So thank you so much.
