Kate Austin
Founder & CEO - Pinchapoo
If you had one minute to leave your house for good, what would you take? My answer that night was – surprisingly – my toothbrush. In that moment of panic I wasn’t sure what the next five minutes of my life would bring. But I did know that wherever I ran, I could wipe away the tears and at least brush my teeth.
The next day, in the same clothes and underwear from the day before, burning mascara-blurred eyes and a broken spirit – I stared into my portable classroom wall wondering, what now? The adrenaline had worn into shock. Where could I go? Who could I trust? Who would help me?
I had no answers to what seemed like logical questions. The only thing that made sense was the overwhelming urge for a hot shower, some deodorant and some makeup to feel human again.
As it turned out, my spirit wasn’t broken. I refused to let that period in my life be an excuse to fail.

Courtney Baker
Owner - flluskë Earrings
Meet Courtney, Hearing Loss Advocate and owner & Designer of flluskë earrings.
Courtney began making flluskë earrings after a particularly negative experience surrounding her hearing loss, which lead to a very low point in her life. In an attempt to make herself feel more positive about her ears and build her confidence back up again, she began making earrings.
Tapping into the power of colour, she created beautiful vibrantly coloured earrings that helped her celebrate her ears as a thing of beauty.
The thing that she’s really passionate about is educating people on all things hearing loss.
