Women have been conditioned to live with discomfort—at work, at home, and even in our bras.
Julie Sukosd, the Chief Revenue Officer at EBY (which stands for Empowered By You), has set out to change that. Why? Because as she says in our conversation, if we don’t put ourselves first, then who will?
Julie covers the all-so-common ways women feel uncomfortable at work, whether it’s giving or receiving feedback, advocating for ourselves, and even what we choose to put on our bodies first thing in the morning. We talk about how this impacts our personal empowerment and well-being, and how women can reclaim their self-worth and prioritize themselves once and for all.
EBY is an intimate apparel brand that is anti-metal underwire. Instead, their innovative bras offer gentle, poke-free support using a nylon thread that’s 3D printed inside a line of silicone and then coated with their signature slip-proof flocking. You no longer have to compromise your comfort! They also have a mission of helping a million women in Colombia, Nicaragua, Haiti, and India transition out of poverty and into business through micro-loans that come from every purchase.
This conversation reminded us that comfort is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

When Laura Weldy was first building her coaching practice, she took a group of the most accomplished women she knew out for coffee, one by one, and asked what was standing between them and what they wanted at work. Almost every answer came back the same: “I don't have anyone advocating for me in the room.” But when she pushed further and asked what they wanted their allies to say on their behalf, nobody had an answer.
