The Real Shift Show with
Ripley Rader
In this episode of The Real Shift Show, co-hosts Anna Crowe and Katy Temple sit down with fashion founder Ripley Rader - the force behind a multimillion-dollar brand worn by Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Kate Upton, and Amy Schumer. Together, they unpack the real story behind the highlight reel - and how Ripley built a brand that empowers women to celebrate their bodies, rather than conform to society’s standards.
In this episode:
The “10-year overnight success” journey and staying the course
Why Ripley chose no investors - and how that shaped her freedom
The mindset shift behind “embrace the cringe” and stepping into visibility
Designing clothes that empower women to "take up space" (literally and figuratively)
Leadership, therapy, and building a workplace rooted in fierce joy
The truth about doing it all: you can—just not all at the same time
Ripley opens up about being “ten years into an overnight success,” why she and her husband chose to build without investors, and the biggest shift that changed everything: stepping in front of the camera and becoming the face of the brand. From “embrace the cringe” to leading with vulnerability, Ripley shares what it actually feels like to be seen - and why doing so is sometimes the bravest (and hardest) move.
