Conversations

On this episode of SheerLuxe Conversations, Charlotte Collins is joined by two legends of the fashion and media world: Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill – former top editors turned authors of ‘All The Cool Girls Get Fired’. Together they unpack what really happens when you lose your job – from the shock and shame to the surprising freedom on the other side. They share their own stories of being fired from huge roles in New York publishing, why “fired” is the word we should be using and how owning it publicly (yes, even on Instagram) is the quickest way to move forward. The trio also dive into standout stories from the book – including from the likes of Oprah, Lisa Kudrow, Tarana Burke and Carol Burnett – plus, the practical stuff no one teaches you: money, identity, LinkedIn, healthcare and how to rebuild confidence when your career rug is pulled out from under you. They also talk about the changing media landscape, personal brands and why a set-back can genuinely be a set-up.

In this special episode of SheerLuxe Conversations, founder and CEO Georgie Coleridge Cole sits down with Chrissie Rucker, the visionary behind The White Company, in celebration of the brand’s 30th anniversary. Chrissie reflects on her early career – from leaving school at 16 and studying couture to her time at Condé Nast – and how those experiences led her to identify a gap in the market for beautiful, high-quality basics at accessible prices. She discusses the ‘quiet luxury’ design principles, attention to detail and calming, timeless aesthetic that continue to define the brand today, as well as its remarkable growth to include more than 80 stores and 2,500 employees. With Christmas approaching, Chrissie also shares how she decorates at home – from greenery and wreaths to tablescaping, playlists, cocktails and clever hosting tricks – and why thoughtful gifting (and a 15-year spreadsheet) remain her secret weapons. The conversation also touches on balancing a demanding career with family life, welcoming her daughter into the business, staying curious and ambitious in her 50s and the charitable work she champions through The King’s Trust and the Change A Girl’s Life campaign.

Olivia and Hermione also candidly explain how they approached weaning, the messiness that comes with it and the emotional rollercoaster of feeding little ones. They emphasise the importance of community and support – be it from family, friends or fellow parents – and discuss the significance of dropping the guilt that often accompanies parenting decisions. Finally, the trio reveal how much they’ve changed as mothers, especially as they continue to find their rhythm and reclaim parts of their identities.
