In this inspiring conversation, Jen Maldonado sits down with Katey Blaire, founder of She’s Thrifty Like That, a luxury resale business helping people turn overlooked closet items into valuable assets.

Katey shares her journey from working a stable corporate job in Portland to making a bold move to Dallas in just three months—with no job lined up and no safety net. What followed was a mix of uncertainty, resilience, and determination that led her to build a business rooted in sustainability, fashion, and value.

She opens up about how her passion for thrifting turned into a full-time business, how trends constantly shift in the resale world, and why success looks very different to her now than it did in corporate life.

This episode also dives into deeper conversations around financial independence, the emotional connection women have with money, and why betting on yourself—even when it’s scary—can be the most rewarding decision you make.

• Why taking a risk on yourself can change everything
• How to turn passion into a profitable business
• The truth about trends in the fashion resale market
• Why resilience is essential in entrepreneurship

• The importance of sustainable fashion and mindful shopping
