Welcome back to A Common Thread Podcast! In this second episode of our monthly style series, Threading Trends, I sit down with style expert Madeline Nachbar to dissect all things fall fashion. This episode is jam-packed with insights on the trends you’ll be seeing this season, what we’re buying, how we’re rewearing pieces from past seasons, and why we’re both skipping the hype around the new Sneex by Sarah Blakley.

We also get real about why we’re leaning into thrifting and sustainability over buying new this season, and how you can find incredible pre-loved gems to elevate your fall wardrobe. Whether you’re looking for inspiration to revamp your closet or just love hearing about what’s trending this season, we’ve got you covered.

In this episode, we chat about:

• The top trends we’re loving for fall 2024.
• What staple pieces we’re buying and how we plan to rewear them.
• Why some pieces are better thrifted than new.
• The more affordable handbags we are coveting over designer.
• Practical tips for curating a timeless wardrobe that transitions seamlessly from year to year.

Whether you’re thrifting on a budget or looking to invest in key pieces, this episode will give you the tools and ideas to feel your most stylish this fall, without overhauling your entire closet.

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode of A Common Thread, host Amy Seeman sits down with her big brother, TJ, for a conversation that will have you both laughing and crying. Amy and TJ reminisce about their childhood memories, from shared family moments to attending college together. During the conversation, Amy reminds TJ of a pivotal time when he stepped in to help her get back on the right path—a moment he had completely forgotten about. This touching recollection reveals the profound impact TJ has had on Amy’s life and their enduring sibling bond.

The episode then takes a more emotional turn as TJ opens up about the challenging health issues his family has faced. He shares the story of his own kidney transplant, his wife’s courageous battle with breast cancer, and their middle child’s diagnosis of MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome). Despite the heartache, TJ and his family found strength in each other and their community, and they are now using their experiences to help others in need.

Through tears, laughter, and deep reflections, Amy and TJ's conversation is one of vulnerability, resilience, and the power of family. Tune in for an inspiring episode that touches on life's highs and lows and reminds us of the importance of staying strong for the ones we love.
