Ep 4: Making Good with Sophia Hall — Thrifting, Style, and Taking Up Space
In this episode of Closet Philosophy, we meet Sophia Hall, the vibrant force behind @makegood on Instagram. Sophia is a secondhand style expert who turned childhood thrift store adventures into a thriving online business serving women of all sizes—especially those who often feel ignored by the fashion industry.
We dive into:
- Growing up as the youngest of eight and learning to dress for survival, identity, and joy
- Why the fashion industry still isn’t cutting it for plus-size folks—and how secondhand can offer freedom and power
- Sophia’s honest, empathetic approach to styling clients, from measurements to mindset shifts
- The magic of her Instagram Live sales, where community, confidence, and clothes come together
- How women of all ages and sizes can reclaim comfort, color, and self-expression—even in a world that tells us to shrink
Plus: unexpected styling hacks, Billie Eilish shoutouts, the secret weapon of the men’s section, and why one of her customers once watched a live sale from the front row of a Botticelli concert (yes, really).
This isn’t a podcast about fashion.
It’s a podcast about meaning. About how we show up in the world.
And how we take up space—on purpose.
