In this episode of The Imaginals podcast, host Ashley Wick interviews JJ Martin, founder of La Double J, the mood-boosting, vibration-raising fashion and homewares brand inspired by the ebullient Italian lifestyle.
JJ shares her journey of transformation and spiritual awakening, sparked by a move to Italy for love, a career reinvention, and a challenging fertility journey. They discuss the pitfalls of navigating the image-conscious fashion industry and how the Italian way of living helped her to see what was holding her back from experiencing more creativity, freedom, and joy. JJ reflects on her journey from overlooked ( and overworked! ) fashion editor to empowered leader, emphasizing the importance of perseverance. They talk about how judgment hardens us and the transformative nature of generosity that can break our armored hearts wide open. JJ recounts her story of discovering the divine feminine, balancing ambition with surrender, and committing to practices that raise the collective vibration. In a powerful teaching moment, JJ emphasizes the significance of finding one’s individual light signature and using it to serve others. The conversation concludes with JJ’s insights on integrating spirituality into business and news of her latest launch - La Double J’s Sisterhood.
