   Jennifer Adair with Anyway Socks

   In this episode of the Woman-Run Podcast, host Meredith welcomes her close friend Jen Adair, the founder of Anyway Socks, to discuss entrepreneurship, grief, and survivorship. Jen shares how a convergence of overwhelming challenges in 2020—including her husband's leukemia diagnosis, the onset of the pandemic, supply chain disruptions in her logistics marketing business, and the devastating loss of her best friend, Brooke, to domestic abuse—sent her into an emotional tailspin. During that period, getting out of bed was an achievement, and Jen frequently wore mismatched socks simply because she lacked the energy to care. Channelling her grief into action, Jen created a sock company originally called Bi-Socksual, which was later rebranded to Anyway Socks. The rebrand allowed the company to expand into major retailers while better communicating its core message: encouraging people to wear socks any way they want, but more importantly, empowering individuals in abusive situations to leave any way they can. To honor Brooke's memory, the company packages three socks per set, symbolizing Brooke's three children, and donates at least ten percent of total revenue back to domestic violence shelters local to where the socks are sold. Throughout their conversation, Jen and Meredith dive into the often-overlooked toll on the support system of someone enduring domestic violence. Jen reflects on the secondary trauma, exhaustion, and emotional rollercoaster that comes with watching a loved one cycle through abuse. She emphasizes that abuse affects everyone who cares about the victim and offers compassionate advice for supporters, highlighting the necessity of self-care, emotional patience, and understanding the complex psychology of abuse. She also underscores critical safety steps, such as reporting incidents to the police to create a paper trail, seeking orders of protection, and reaching out to shelters that can provide safety, financial assistance, and even accommodations for pets. Closing on an uplifting note, Jen touches on the operational side of scaling her business with the help of her children and family. She discusses managing inventory, expanding product offerings from athletic socks to seasonal wool knits and compression gear, and navigating partnerships with both boutique shops and major department stores. Ultimately, Jen views Anyway Socks not merely as an apparel brand, but as an ongoing vessel for healing, community advocacy, and providing a lifeline to those who need it most.

   Connected and Informed Patient Care with Lauren Weaver and Christine Scarlett

   In this episode of the Woman Run Podcast, host Meredith Lowry sits down with Christine Scarlett and Lauren Weaver, co-founders of The Patient Whisperers and Upskillery based in Northwest Arkansas. The duo shares their origin story, which began when Lauren was Kristine’s patient at an ophthalmology practice, leading to a successful influencer marketing campaign and eventual business partnership. They discuss their transition from traditional healthcare consulting to creating a movement centered around emotional intelligence, soft skills, and human connection in patient care. Kristine and Lauren break down their core methodology of keeping patients connected, informed, and safe, explaining how empathy and soft skills complement technical medical protocols to diffuse distress and build trust. They reflect on their experiences as female co-founders, navigating their friendship alongside business decisions, and their participation in local entrepreneurial networks like the VC Women Achieve program through The Venture Center. The conversation highlights the launch and growth of Upskillery, an online learning platform designed to make soft-skills training engaging by utilizing bite-sized, social-media-style content. They dive into practical advice, including tips for making positive first impressions, applying the Q-TIP principle of quit taking it personally, and adapting human connection strategies to fast-paced environments like emergency rooms. Looking ahead, they outline their future plans to integrate AI tools for interactive roleplay scenarios, roll out a consumer direct-to-learner model, and expand their platform to featuring external healthcare thought leaders.
