This week, Catt welcomes the incredibly talented and overall delightful Justina Blakeney to her bedroom. One of the last NAKED interviews recorded in-person, pre-pandemic, Justina shares how she grew her interior design business from a blog, to an empire.

Justina's not just a savvy entrepreneur, she's a New York Times bestselling author, artist, and a whole lot more. From a very young age, she travelled the world - living in Switzerland and Italy - and was encouraged by her parents to embrace her multi-cultural background. With a self-described "global, jungalicious style," Justina's distinct approach to design and focus on accessibility has led to multiple collaborations with major retailers, from Target to Anthropologie. 

Justina also shares her secret superpower (learning new languages), how she manages to stay creative while also running the nuts-and-bolts of a business, and how she's forced herself to learn the art of delegation. 

Also in this episode, Catt talks about her first experience traveling abroad at the age of 28 - and how it spurred her to reflect on how the U.S. relates to the rest of the world.

To learn more about Justina, check out her IG @justinablakeney, her Website: http://www.justinablakeney.com/ or her design blog, Jungalow: https://www.jungalow.com/,which started it all.

***And a special note this week: We want to acknowledge and voice our support for the protests taking place across the country following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others. All across the U.S., people are coming together to demand an end to police brutality and bring awareness to the many issues that disproportionately impact Black communities. 

WE CAN ALL DO BETTER, and here at team NAKED, we pledge to listen, learn and amplify Black voices. As part of this effort, we will be highlighting a different advocacy organization each week that could use your donation. This week, we're starting with Black Lives Matter: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019
