Welcome to Sustain This! A slow fashion podcast  that's about so much more than clothes.

Join us every Tuesday as your hosts Alyssa, Christina and Signe chat all things mindful consumption, personal style and the quest for building a more intentional life...and wardrobe!

Alyssa Beltempo is a sustainable stylist, Christina Mychas, a shopaholic turned minimalist-ish, and Signe Hansen is a colour consultant and slow fashion style coach. Together we will unpack the nuances of what it really means be a conscious consumer & find more joy in what we have right now. Let's go!

    Great podcast
    I’ve been following these creators on YouTube and recently discovered this podcast. It has quickly become a favorite!
  • catgirl 340416
    One of my fav podcasts
    This is definitely one of my top ten favorite podcasts and I certainly listen to every episode. I love following these creators on YouTube and really enjoy all of their discussions. I feel more motivated to avoid over spending and get much better use out of my wardrobe with their inspiration and insights.
  • Angiezzzz
    Great podcast, poor audio quality
    I love this podcast and do follow each host on YouTube. I think they talk about interesting topics regarding fashion and sustainability and offer great advice on how to style clothing. However, the audio quality is horrendous. I realize they’re located in different parts of the world, but the audio is scratchy and cuts in and out like a bad zoom call. I love Alyssa and her energy, but each time she talks I have to turn down the volume because she is so passionate… not that being passionate is bad but for audio purposes, not so great.
  • threadsandvino
    New Favorite Podcast
    I love these ladies! I follow them all on YouTube separately and just found out they have a podcast together. And I am so happy they came to together for this podcast. The way they chat about fashion, sustainability, and life is so informative and fun. I love listening to these ladies and look forward to more and more episodes!
  • J3nsyn S
    The way to style
    This show’s focus on internal creativity as antidote to eternal consumption encourages and inspires. For Christina—hearing you talk about your regrets over your Saint Laurent Smoking Moto, a thought. The ironic bite of that YSL design is it was actually marketed as a “No Smoking!” jacket. There’s an X over the smoking lips (which, nonetheless, are classically attractive, as now-banned tobacco ads of old). Perhaps that will help with the dissonance felt between your job and the style? Love your work and style. Best, a trying-to-be-sustainably-stylish-physician
  • Hannie Maria
    Like getting inspo from your girlfriends
    I love this podcast! Multiple times after listening to these three fashionable ladies I have deleted items out of my online carts because I feel inspired to work with what I already have and not fall into trends. They are inspiring and realistic at the same time. Thank you!
  • S. A. Jones
    Informative and fun!
    This podcast is so informative, thoughtful, calming, and a pleasure to listen to. I really like the way all three women take their time and consider each topic and talk about sustainable fashion, less consumption, etc. in an insightful and inspiring way. It’s encouraging to listen to their honest opinions and experiences to help me in my own day-to-day mindfulness and style journey.

  • Berryboys mom
    Slow fashion at its best!
    I randomly searched slow fashion podcast to see what was out there and was so excited when this was the first suggestion. I follow each of you on YouTube, but had no idea you all came together on a podcast. Great conversation, fabulous ideas (as always). Thanks!
  • JustJK.
    Wonderful!

  • turquoisemango
    Love this podcast!
    I’ve loved listening to these conversations so far. Thank you all for being so thoughtful, kind, and fun - this is now one of my go-to podcasts when I want to listen to something something cozy and comforting that also gives me new perspectives to think about :)
  • ReadtoLearn
    Heartfelt and genuine
    Another great episode! Love the great tips with shopping secondhand! Can’t wait for an episode devoted to fabric as this is an area I want to grow in! Absolutely adore the three of you! You are all so genuine, honest, and vulnerable in regards to fashion, shopping, and hustle and bustle of life. It makes my day listening to your conversations and I always leave the episode inspired and grateful for your podcast!
  • Vail2021
    Fabulous 👍💝
    Thank you for teaching me to look at my wardrobe and my clothes in a different way. I started working with a wish list and my shopping habbits keep changing (severely!). I got an app that helps me keeping track on what I own and how I put outfits together. What do you think about these kind of apps? Looking forward to learn more from you.
  • KimExecSearch
    Thoughtful Fashion Content
    So glad these three decided to do a podcast…TOGETHER! Taking their YouTube content to a deeper level, Sustain This! Will teach you something worthwhile about conscious consumption, thoughtful fashion, and being self-reflective in a positive way.
  • ECBOregon
    Like a conversation with (knowledgeable) friends
    This is a great, relaxing listen— with lots of great perspectives on personal style, sustainable fashion, how to think about updating and using your wardrobe. I’ve appreciated all three of the hosts on YouTube since 2020, and hearing their discussions about these topics is helpful and enjoyable.
  • joyfulnoise82857
    Really important conversations!
    I really love the conversations that they’ve had so far - such important commentary around style and mindful consumption. I’ve followed all three of these youtubers separately and listening to them together is a delight. They each bring something special to the conversations. I love the emphasis on more creativity and less consumption. If you are honing your closet and style, and trying to do it mindfully, definitely have a listen!
  • Beautiflawly_Becca
    A Sigh if Style Relief
    This podcast is amazing. Alyssa, Christina and Signe are the perfect combination. I feel the pressure of having to buy clothes in pursuit of the “right now” and the “wear this to look cool and perfect” is slowly being lifted from my shoulders after each listen. Thank you ladies for making this space fun and accessible.
  • acaknin
    Great conversations and insight
    I really enjoyed the conversation about how fashion is not frivolous and how what we wear, where it’s sourced and the contributions of animals and humans along the way prove this idea. I’ll be back!
  • Blaah72
    Mindful collab
    To have each of your perspectives bounce off each other is brilliant... so inspired by each of your YouTube channels and such a treat to listen and hang out in the self care, slow fashion, personal style, and minimalism space.
  • wewantstingback
    Love!
    Such a great podcast from my three favorite bright and pragmatic wardrobe YouTubers! Looking forward to much, much more :).
  • APhillippi
    Love these ladies!
    My 3 favorite YouTubers created a podcast! Yay!!!!! I LOVE learning more about each of your backgrounds. I resonate the most with Christina since I’m currently in the “get out of debt” and stop compulsive shopping phase of life. Excited to hear more!
  • LoMcCombs
    Love Personal Style and Slow Fashion, great conversations
