• 1:03
  Speaker 1: for the time. I really appreciate it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you for having us.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: This is such an important topic, and I've heard this
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: from my mother. That's a good mom. It's always a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: confusing conversation, but I get it. But Abby, I want
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to begin with you. How does our audience know when
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it's time for a bra fitting?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: So, well, you kind.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Of hit the nail on the head as far as
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: talking about our bodies constantly changing as women. You know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: life happens. So we are constantly gaining, losing, going through menopause,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: having babies, on a GLP-1, whatever it is. any sort
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: of weight loss by 7 to 10 pounds, you're going
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to need to be refitted. Also, some key indicators for
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: when your bras are worn out are cups are gapping,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: straps slipping off your shoulders, or the band's riding off
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the back. Those are great indicators that it's time.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: To be refit.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Heather, I think that's why this conversation is
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: so important, and why I'm glad the two of you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: are here, because I think This is not a conversation,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of course, like I said, my mother has mentioned it
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to me with my dad. And we're just like, okay,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: let's just go buy another broad. But, Heather, what happens
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: during a cold fitting, and how can a fit expert
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: help discover what's the right size?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: So we do understand that this is important. you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a vulnerable experience for women. And a lot of women
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: put this off. And just like Abby had said, you're,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know, your bra should not feel uncomfortable. If your
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: bra is starting to feel uncomfortable, it's time to come
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: in for a bra fitting. And we just, you're in
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: good hands. We create a very safe space. We're there
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to listen to your needs, meet you where you are
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and get you in the right size bra. And it's
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: very rewarding for us too, because most of the time
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: it Women are wearing the wrong size, so they are
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: so happy that their bra feels supportive, comfortable. They feel
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: more confident within themselves and also with the way that
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: they look underneath their– the way their bra looks underneath
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: their clothing.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And that's why I think in tying this into, of course,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: our audience, we're familiar with Susan G. Coleman. But, Abby,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: why is Fit for the Core a great reason to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: take some time for yourself?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: So while Cole has partnered with Susan G. Komen for
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: over 25 years doing these Fit for the Cure events,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and it's such a great opportunity for us as women
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: who do not typically take care 15 minutes for ourselves usually,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: to come in, let us take care of you, be
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: refitted in a correct size and style for your body,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and walk out feeling fantastic. This is a great opportunity
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to do that while also giving back to patient care
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: services through the Komen Foundation. It's a great partnership that
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: we have with them.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So, Abby, that's a great lead-in. And so, Heather, how
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: does participating in Support Student D. Komen help And how
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: can our audience get involved in it this year?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: When you come in for a bra fitting during a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Susan G. Komen Fit for the Cure event, Walkhole donates
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: $ 5 to Susan G. Komen, 100% of the donations when
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you purchase a Walkhole bra. And if you go to fitforthecure.com,
