Diana Wassef is a Lebanese-Egyptian living in upstate New York with her lovely husband Patrick and two furry creatures Qi-Qi & Umpa. Her work centers on menstrual cycle awareness, natural fertility, and cyclical living as a path to deeper embodiment. She guides women toward reconnecting with their inner rhythm, and runs Cremona Studios — a sustainable fashion label rooted in the phases of the cycle and the stories woven within them.

We begin our conversation hearing about Diana’s background, her love for Lebabon and why she left. After suffering for most of her life with painful menstrual cycles, she at last finds a course that awakens her to a new relationship to her cycle and cyclical living. She shares about the 4 phase cycle and how this awareness transformed her life. After years of building this new relationship and some additional training, she now supports women who are seeking a deeper relationship with their cycle, whether it be because of the inherent beauty of it, or because of a specific need to balance things out or support a fertility journey. Diana shares honestly about her own fertility journey and the two pregnancy losses she’s experienced in this past year. We get a little personal together about these loses we’ve both experienced and how we hope having these conversations will help to normalize the discussion around pregnancy loss to better support those experiencing it.

We also dip into her clothing line, and how she went from a goth designer to one aligned with the seasons of the menstrual cycle. Yes, you heard “Bloody Romper.”

She offers regular “womb circles” in the area. Stay in tuned via her IG account for all the goodness.

Kaitlyn Murray has been care-taking her brand, la vie apres l’amour, a sustainable fashion organization since 2017. Born and raised in Red Hook, NY, she graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology and went on to work at Hermes in customer service and merchandising. Her life long love affair with thrifting and her studies in sustainability led her to leave Hermes and open her own line of clothing and eventually a physical shop in the Rondout of Kingston which is many things including her studio, a retails space, an events space, and a community hang out where she’s hosted mending nights, community dinners, a vinyl dj event, artist talks, a clothing swap, a clay building workshop, and recently a floral arranging day.

In addition to tending to her store, she created Hudson Valley Sustainable Fashion Week in 2023. She hosted several events and produced and showed in the first ever HV Sustainable runway show on Rose Hill Farm in Red Hook. It was a collective show, showcasing 7 HV sustainable designers and 4 recent alumni from the Marist Fashion Program. It was a dream and the goal was to highlight designers doing this work in the area and make them known to the public.

Today Kaitlyn shares her journey into fashion and how it shifted over the years, making the leap into its current iteration. We learn about her brand, much of what her line consists of and her process. She educates us about the impact of the fashion industry on both the people charged with making it and the many ways the production of new clothes extracts from and damages our earth and even our own health. She has several upcoming events that she is hosting and otherwise supporting such as a clay handbuilding workshop, a community dinner, a film screening of Fashion Reimagined about doing fashion sustainably, and the big Hudson Valley Sustainable Fashion Week runway show in September.

We end with a little self care chat, and I left feeling inspired and hopeful!
