From Corporate to Circular Fashion: Taking Risks, Sustainable Style and Building a Business with Happy Days Founder, Rachel Hennessy

I am so excited to bring you this episode with Rachel Hennessy. From working in corporate to launching her own sustainable rental fashion brand, Happy Days, Rachel’s journey is all about embracing change, following your instincts and creating something meaningful.

It is one many can relate to - finding yourself in a career that does not quite fit and taking a huge leap of faith.

In this episode, Rachel shares:

  • Shifting from corporate to entrepreneurship and what kept her motivated
  • The reality of launching a rental fashion business - learning curves and customer education
  • How working with influencers has helped grow her brand and why it is often misunderstood
  • Why starting a business can be lonely and what has brought her a lot of joy
