In episode 4 of the Her One Thing podcast, NYC fashion designer and entrepreneur, Nic Hyl, shares insight into the journey that took her from working in the corporate world to starting her own fashion business. She discusses how a  toxic work environment is what ultimately caused her to take the leap into starting her own business.

As Nic ventured into the fashion world, and specifically in women's swimwear, she observed that women from all walks of life and all body types had major body insecurities. It became apparent that women are feeling incredibly vulnerable in swimwear, even if they have "perfect" bodies. 

Nic goes on to share that before the body positivity movement, it wasn't women in most boardrooms who were determining which body types to feature in swimwear marketing. It was men who were promoting a certain body type (which is beautiful but that 95% of us don't look like). 

This realization ultimately inspired Nic to make body positivity and empowering women to feel beautiful in the skin they're in at the center of her brand ethos. She proudly features women of all body types, races and backgrounds in her swimwear ads.

Additionally, Nic reveals how being resourceful contributed to her success in business. She also shares how her mindset has evolved throughout her entrepreneurship journey and her best advice for women who are ready to achieve their one thing.
