After her mother and sisters survived breast cancer, Linder became more diligent about her own exams.

Imagine carrying a women’s fashion label dedicated to reinventing workwear through a global pandemic that shuts down offices worldwide and makes “work from home” the new normal! “The only way through was forward,” remembers Sarah LaFleur, who founded the MM LaFleur clothing brand in 2013.

Listen to my wonderful conversation with LaFleur to learn her best advice for identifying your own post-pandemic priorities. Better yet: she shares here personal packing solutions for chic travel out of a carry-on.
