Just A Spoonful

"It was a weird superpower." This is how Leah Musch describes obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to me, but only in certain contexts. It helped her retain an astounding amount of detail as the owner of The Happy Cabin clothing store in Brisbane. It also led indirectly to serious injury. While recuperating from her injury, Leah had an epiphany that would change her relationship to fashion. She sold The Happy Cabin, and then everything changed. The host of web series The Unmaterial Girl talks to me about slow fashion, OCD guilt, and learning sustainable business methods in Brazil's 'favelas'. Portrait of Leah Musch by Erin Michelle for Just A Spoonful. --- Released 28 February 2016 If you would like to support this podcast, check out patreon.com/blythebyname
