Ep 35: Secondhand Souls: The Life, Death, and Afterlife of Our Clothes

Secondhand Souls isn’t just about used clothes — it’s about the stories, systems, and souls stitched into every hem and thread. In this deeply human episode, we unravel what happens to our garments after we’re done with them — from donation bins to landfill mountains, vintage shops to reverse design studios.

We explore how fast fashion feeds a global crisis, how secondhand economies both empower and exploit, and why what we wear — and re-wear — reveals more about us than we think.

From Ghana’s flooded markets to the closets we can’t let go of, this is fashion’s afterlife — and a call to dress with memory, meaning, and mindfulness.

If clothes could talk, this episode is what they’d say.
