ECO-Fashion for conscious Mindfulness - Revolutionizing Fast Fashion (S1E010, PoM Podcast, 18/10/24

A Journey from Sea to Sustainability ...

This PoM podcast episode No. 10 explores the inspiring journey of Captain Jay, the founder of PoM (Peace of Mind™ ... Happy Life!), an eco-conscious (slow) fashion and positive brand dedicated to merging sustainable practices with mindful living.

PoM challenges traditional fashion by taking a "slow fashion" approach, aiming to reduce waste and emphasize quality over quantity. With a career that spans both sailing and economic engineering, Captain Jay brings a unique perspective to the fashion industry, creating a brand that stands for more than just clothing; it represents a movement towards environmental responsibility, ethical production, and intentional consumption.

Through a lively dialogue, two journalists delve into PoM’s practices, including its commitment to fair labor, sustainable sourcing, and innovative materials like algae and mycelium. These biomaterials offer promising alternatives to traditional textiles, minimizing environmental impact while bringing new possibilities to sustainable fashion.

PoM also focuses on transparency, aiming for a fully audited supply chain by December 2, 2025, aligning with the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. The print-on-demand model employed by PoM further reduces waste by creating products only when ordered, helping to address the staggering levels of waste generated by the fashion industry.

Throughout the episode, the hosts engage in a meaningful conversation about the broader implications of sustainable fashion, the complexities of global supply chains, and how PoM is spearheading a shift in consumer consciousness.

Listeners are encouraged to consider their own impact on the environment and the importance of supporting brands like PoM, which prioritize ethics and mindfulness. This is more than just fashion – it’s about redefining our relationship with what we wear, reducing waste, and creating a happier, healthier planet for all.

Global Impact, Local Conversations
Our series dives deep into some of the most important global issues, exploring how they shape our local neighborhoods and personal well-being. This includes discussions on the UN's "Pact for the Future" and the "Global Digital Compact," highlighting the essential role of interconnectivity in building thriving communities. Whether it’s exploring peaceful neighborhoods or mental health advocacy, we connect the dots between the big picture and daily life.
Mental Health Matters
As part of our commitment to well-being, we will explore topics related to mental health in a modern context, particularly the 2024 theme: Mental Health at the Workplace. This series focuses on the rise of mental health challenges, especially among younger generations. We'll discuss key studies, provide insights from experts, and share stories that reflect the shifting landscape of mental health in our work environments and personal lives.
Understanding the Mind: Cognitive Dissonance and Psychological Insights
Mental health is a rising concern globally, and understanding the mind's complex mechanisms is key to addressing it. In this series, we delve into topics like "Cognitive Dissonance," exploring its effects on mental wellness and practical solutions to regain balance. We've already explored "Heart-Mind Coherence," a powerful concept that highlights the connection between our emotional and mental states, in our podcast on Coherence: Mind, Body, Soul & Spirit in Harmony. This series provides insights into the psychology of modern life, helping listeners navigate mental challenges while promoting mindfulness and inner harmony.
Mindfulness in Action
Grounding all our discussions is the practice of mindfulness. Along with themes like gratitude, self-compassion, and equanimity, our series provides tools and insights that promote mental clarity, emotional resilience, and inner peace. Whether you're just beginning your mindfulness journey or you're looking to deepen your practice, our episodes offer something for everyone.
