Embracing Empathy and Comfort Through the Apparel Business with Barely Canadian Founder, Kelly Slattery

In this episode, Rachel is chatting with Kelly Slattery, the visionary co-founder of Barely Canadian, who is sharing insights from her journey on establishing a brand with a heartfelt mission. Cozy apparel is only part of the story as Kelly forges a brighter future for youth in the foster care system. Through her nonprofit, Fosterpreneur, she empowers youth to build their own brands and secure stable futures, all while instilling the values of gratitude and positivity that are foundational to her life and work.

Barely Canadian's commitment to using high-quality materials and maintaining high standards sets it apart, even attracting partnerships with major retailers like Neiman Marcus. Kelly's dedication extends beyond business as she fosters and mentors youth, and builds community networks like "Power Ladies" to support women in Los Angeles. Her motto, “the more we give, the more we get back” is a testament to how this episode highlights the power of community, emphasizing how these connections can drive both personal and professional growth.

More about Barely Canadian: Barely Canadian is a family business that creates insanely soft sweaters, hoodies, onesies, sunsies, smittens, and other comfy apparel and accessories to keep you cozy, feeling at home, and layered in color, love and acceptance. Having both fostered and adopted from foster care, we are passionate about our mission to continue to serve foster youth, and to share the gifts these deserving and brilliant kids bring to our world.

Barely Canadian is all about giving back through extreme softness. We're redefining premium apparel and accessories by combining unbeatable softness, sheer luxury, and sustainable practices. We locally source and craft our garments and accessories from unbelievably soft, sustainable materials that leave you feeling as good as you look.

But here's the exciting part: we don't just offer pre-made pieces! We invite you to be part of the creative process, infusing your unique branding and style into our high-quality, custom creations.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-The mission behind the brand, Barely Canadian.

-Always be kind, even when something has gone wrong.

-How the chosen fabric for the brand embodies the mission of comfort and empathy.

-Mistakes Kelly has made in her business, but always keeping in mind - there’s always an answer.

We can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode!
