In episode 24, Kestrel chats with Rita Mehta, founder of The American Edit and host of the podcast Why Do We Have Things?. They talk about Made In America, shopping styles, and how to find the balance when you love things but also want to feel good about what you are buying.

This week's sponsor is Ethical Bean - delicious coffee, filled with purpose. Ethical Bean is 100% Fair Trade Certified and organic, & each one of their packages features a QR code. When you scan it, you can see exactly where that bag of beans or grounds came from and more info on the story behind that coffee. Thanks for helping Conscious Chatter bring more fashion + ethics conversations to the airwaves, Ethical Bean!
