[Lauren Bostick]

This is the skinny Confidential him and her.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Someone who I have wanted on the podcast on the show for so long is finally here. I feel like it had to make sense, and it makes sense now. And we'll get into why. Nick of Bumpsuit, welcome to the show.

[Lauren Bostick]

Thank you. Thank you for having me.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I want to go back and tell your story. First of all, when you were a little girl and you're this beautiful and tall and entrepreneurial, how did you manage to not have tall poppy syndrome in Australia?

[Lauren Bostick]

I actually was discovered when I was 16, and I. I went straight from the outback to New York.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So before you were discovered at 16 as a model, what. What were you like? Was. Were you always this tall and, like, did you must have stood out.

[Lauren Bostick]

I. I was like the nerdy, tall, skinny, lanky girl that, like every model says that hung out in the. Well, that's the funny thing, because this woman discovered me when I was shopping, and she was like, I know all about you, so little towns talk. And she knew who I was from my little town, and she called my family, like, nonstop. She was like, I really want her to be a model. I have a full career for her. Da, da, da. I was like, hell, no. Because girls are so bitchy at school already. Like, could you imagine what the modeling field is like? I was like, I'm not doing that. But then she managed to convince my family to just let me try this competition, and I won it. And it led to this other competition, which I won, and it led to the Ford supermodel of the World, which I came runners up in. And this is all over a period of, like, six months. I just got to find out that all of the girls are, like, tall, lanky, skinny girls. They're like baby Bambies that never found their, like, coordination. And then they grew up to be these, like, glamazons. So I was really surprised how nice, how well educated, how, you know, kind of in the same boat a lot of us were. So I found my best friends through modeling.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So it wasn't what we hear, like, the catty, bitchy. No, not at all.

[Lauren Bostick]

I found that more in school. Huh. Definitely. Like, definitely.

[Nicole Trumpio]

What was the difference between Australia and New York?

[Lauren Bostick]

Everything.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Right?

[Lauren Bostick]

So I grew up with a conservative Italian father, and I don't know how he allowed me to move to New York, but he really trusted me. And he said to me, I was like, how? You don't let me go to parties, you know, but you let me move to New York? My parents kind of had to, because when I won the Ford Super Medal of the world, they had to sign for me to take responsibility. And when I came runners up, nobody. We never. I didn't even look at myself in the mirror, you know, I wasn't even aware of beauty came from the bush. And then I'm in Dominican Republic for the Ford Supermodel of the world. This is before reality TV existed. It's a massive production. Ford was, like, massive at the time. And I came runners up in the world, and they were like, great, now you have to move to New York, and here's a $250,000 contract. And I was like, I'm not moving to New York. This was just for fun. And they were like, no, your parents have signed before you started the competition. We've now invested in you, so you have to move to New York. And we took it very seriously. Like, we were. I was from a tiny town in Australia and very, like, sheltered. And, yeah, it was a. It was a major, like, traumatic event in my life, but it was positive in a way. But for me, I was like, I. I can't do this.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Like, so what do you do when you're thrust into it? Are your parents and your. Your family with you or.

[Lauren Bostick]

No? No. I mean, my. My family couldn't afford to do that, and I have three other siblings, so I had to go by myself. And it wasn't really, like. I mean, when you're young, I think you have a lot of confidence. You think you can do anything, and you think you're always right. But, you know, so I had a little bit of that, but I was kind of like, they promised that there was a chaperone, and I was going to a model apartment. But, like, I arrived, and they were like, there's no boys allowed in the model apartment. And the first night I arrived, there was, like, a boy there, and I was like, what's going on? It just. You know, the guy's now, like, my brother to this day. I just made a friend with him, and he, like, really protected me and told me, like, all the Ins and outs and what was gonna happen.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Do they throw you on go sees and all different things Right away, they just threw you into it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Basically, you go to the agency, you get. Back then it was a fax. I feel like I'm so old that you get a fax of your day and you have to call, like, throughout the day with a calling card, SIM card. Where am I going to next? Map out your day. Take the subway, Walk around in your boots or whatever, or switch shoes if you can. All the construction workers in New York are like, damn, baby, you a tall glass of water, and I'm thirsty, and I'm, like, laughing my head off, going, like, I should write a book about, like, all of the lines that these guys say. Because coming from Australia, you don't get that. And then you're in New York, and there's all this, like, energy going around, and, like, people just, like, you know, complimenting you in their own way. And I thought it was just an amazing, vivacious, like, world. And I was also, like, my dad said to me before I left, I was like, how do you not let me go to parties, but you'll let me move to New York? Even though, like, he didn't have a choice, which is what I found out later from my mom. She was like, it was the worst time for me and your dad because they took the contract really seriously. And my dad said to me, and I'll never forget this because you have a strong head on your shoulders, and I trust you. And so that, to me, that was my first parenting advice. It's like, you give your child a standard, and they will live up to it. You tell them you can do this, and they will live up to it. And so I did. Like, it was always in the back of my mind, I saw girls making, like, all the mistakes.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Like, what?

[Lauren Bostick]

I mean, it's so crazy because I'm Australian and extroverted, but I'm kind of like a good girl, but I seem like a bad girl. So, like, all the girls would go out partying all night. They wouldn't even come home. And, like, I would get the blame for it. And I was, like, at home not drinking, like, because I'm, like, the extroverted one. I just, like, I had to go stay at Eileen Ford's house.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I was gonna ask you if you had the opportunity to meet her.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, I was rollerblading, and I just got booked for, like, I got this, like, big opportunity for Maybelline, and I messed it up, and I went rollerblading. And I, like, grazed all of my knees and I grazed under my chin. And it was like my second week in New York. So I was adventurous and, like, I was meant to do, like a Vera Wang campaign. And they told me that I had to go and stay with Eileen Ford because I was misbehaving.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Did you understand how iconic and well known she was in the industry? Or did you have no concept?

[Lauren Bostick]

No, I wrote a journal at the time. And I was like, writing all this crazy stuff. Cause I felt like I had been, like, kidnapped.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Why? You have to tell us what it's like to stay at Eileen Ford's house.

[Lauren Bostick]

I remember going in the car with her and her husband, and I was sitting in the back and I, you know, I didn't know any of these people. Like, I just got to New York and I, like, had this contract.

[Nicole Trumpio]

She's the biggest person in modeling ever.

[Lauren Bostick]

Right. And so I went up to her massive mansion upstate and she had a chef. I was staying in Katie Ford's room. And I remember opening the closet. It was so beautiful, by the way. I bet the closet had all these furs in it. And like, in Australia, we don't need furs. So I was like, whoa. Like, I'd never seen that in real life.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Insane.

[Lauren Bostick]

And then I remember they had this beautiful pool and I didn't have a swimsuit. So she was like, here's Katie's swimsuit from when she was young.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You're all this old thing.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's like. And she ruffles and. And we just, like, ate dinner. And I was so well behaved. Like, my parents raised me with really good manners. And they told me that I was the best model that they've ever had stay. And got the most compliments from, like, all of their friends and their staff.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I'm reading Christie Brinkley's book, who is like, I think she was like an 80s supermodel.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yes.

[Nicole Trumpio]

But Eileen Ford told her when she went to her house that all she could eat was fish.

[Lauren Bostick]

Really?

[Nicole Trumpio]

So that's you. You got all the cakes?

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, well, I think I was eating it, like, in the kitchen with the chef because I was so bored. So I'd go hang out in the kitchen.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I thought you were gonna say she's like, only cooked, like, tilapia or whatever.

[Lauren Bostick]

I just remember, like, what we ate. I just remember there was like. Like every single time we'd eat, it was like a full on. It was like a wedding.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Amazing.

[Lauren Bostick]

You had your own salt and pepper shaker. You had like, you know, it was like A full setting.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Do you remember the advice she gave you at that age at her house?

[Lauren Bostick]

I, like, I don't remember. I was in trouble. I only remember her saying, like, she was really impressed with me and I had a big career ahead of me and not to mess it up. And I would go with her friends, and they had traveled the world. So, like, when you're hanging out with somebody that's, like, traveled the entire world, they're, like, in the. In the fashion world, these people are so eccentric and wise, and they have these most eclectic houses. And this woman, beautiful homes. This woman, like, showed me she had, like. I mean, just like, jewelry and artifacts from all over the world. And she was so eccentric. It was like being in a movie. When I think back to it, it was incredible. And then after that, I got back to New York and I got straight to work and I worked for Vera Wang. And she was like, I choose the good ones. She's like, you're gonna be a star. She's like, just you watch. She's like, I'm lucky I've got you now. But I'm always. She's like, I'm always the one that chooses the girls. I know, and I'm not going to be able to book you. And then after that, I went to Milan and I was staying in, like, the shittiest hotel. Like, single bed, no mirror, like, no phone in the room either. It was so shitty because the agencies pay for you until you make your own money, and then you have to pay them back, right?

[Nicole Trumpio]

Oh, my God, I did not know that. I thought they pay for all your living.

[Lauren Bostick]

Well, it's. You have to pay it back. They pay for it, huh? With the understanding that you're going to make them a lot of money. So then you pay them back and you're a free agent. It's kind of like anything. Music, sports. And so when I went to Milan, I was like, really, like a. Like, I was staying at this hotel called the Hollywood Hotel, but it was so shitty. It was like my parents wouldn't even stay at this hotel. And I was sharing a room with the girl that couldn't speak English. And I was so, like, miserable. I was like, what am I doing? And I remember, like, having to get clothes, like, modeling clothes, and I was wearing, like, stripper boots with, like, a vintage black slip dress that I cut off and. Because I was going to go see Tom Ford. And at that point, Tom Ford is like. He was the king. Is the king. But at this point in fashion, he was the Designer of Gucci and Saint Laurent.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So you knew how big he was when you were going to go see him.

[Lauren Bostick]

He was the guy. If you got the Tom Ford show, he booked like one new girl a season. If you booked the Gucci show, it changed your life. And I'm like, it changed. I owe everything to that man.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Hold on. You have to tell us how you got the job. Like, you went. Do you go to his house? Was he in the bathtub? You know he loves bass.

[Lauren Bostick]

You know he has what?

[Nicole Trumpio]

He loves bass.

[Lauren Bostick]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah, he loves bass.

[Lauren Bostick]

I remember in the morning, standing on the toilet seat to try and see what my outfit looked like. So there was no full length mirror. So I was standing on the toilet seat to try and see. And I was wearing these crazy, like high, knee high, like kind of stripper looking boots and this little vintage black slip dress. And I had my hair like up really tight, made my eyebrows go kind of like that. And I had really thick eyebrows. So I was like giving myself a facelift. And I remember going to see Tom Ford and it was different than the other castings because it was like by appointment. So in the other castings it's like a long line of girls. And then in Tom Ford, it's like just you. And I remember walking in and it was beautiful and it was like serene. And there were like orchids. And I don't think I'd ever seen like such beautiful orchids. And someone was like, hello. And they were so polite to me. And I went in and I walked and I left. And it was like really just calm. And I had a dream that night that I got the show and I had a dream that like, my boyfriend that kind of, when I left, wasn't really like paying me any attention because he was in Australia. He sent me like roses. And in the morning, roses came to my door and I fucking booked the show. My agency called me and they were like, you got the show? And my driver. Cause in Milan you have a driver. Everyone has a driver. And it's like an Italian student that, like, they're obsessed with fashion in Italy, so they just like live to drive the models around during fashion week in Milan. And my Italian driver, like drove me back to my hotel and it was like a palace. And I was like, what is this? And he was like, this is your hotel. And I was like, oh, is this how it's meant to be?

[Nicole Trumpio]

It was like, so when you did the show and you actually do it, what happened?

[Lauren Bostick]

So even before I Did the show. Basically when I got announced that I was doing Gucci, they must have canceled one girl from every single show and I was automatically booked. I didn't have to go to any castings. I got Valentino, I got Versace, I got Roberto Cavalli, Fendi, Missoni, everything.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And how do you not let that, I mean knowing you, I can see why, but just how do you not let that go to your head? Like you get all of these different things at once. It's almost like you get, I mean, every model's dream and a snap of.

[Lauren Bostick]

Your fingers, you know? Like I never, it's so weird because I never wanted to be a model. I was always like, wanted to do something. Like you see me now, I'm so behind the scenes. Uh huh. I noticed that and I'm so happy. Like I love being creative. I love working with a team. I just, I have a big imagination. It's like too much sometimes. But I was just honestly trying to do the best that I could. I was like, if I'm going to get taken away from my family, I'm going to make this worth it. And so I was just really trying to be professional and show up and do a good job. And like, I remember just feeling bad. I was like, who got canceled from the shows? Like, I was like, wait. And I. And I remember going to Valentino and seeing this model that I know that I love her like crossed out and they put me up there on the board and I was like, I was like, I felt bad, but I was so excited. But I just was thinking about my boyfriend and I just miss my friends and my family and I was really trying to like navigate it and live up to my dad's standard and like not mess it up. So like that's all I could think about is like, what do I do? I was so sheltered, you know, I didn't really like have much exposure to much.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I think though, it must have worked to your advantage because there's something I told, I told my husband about you and your whole team. There's something really down to earth about you that's very U.N. lA and New York. It's, it's very, it's refreshing. And I'm assuming that's how you were when you were there. And I'm sure that stood out to the casting people and to Tom Ford. Like he's probably used to a certain like stereotypical model. And your energy's so light. Was that how it was?

[Lauren Bostick]

Thank you. Maybe like the second person that really discovered Me was Carl Lagerfeld, and he was obsessed with Australians at the time.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Carl who? She's all, to Carl and Tom and Ellie.

[Lauren Bostick]

You know, I have a really funny story about Carl.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Please tell us.

[Lauren Bostick]

So it's kind of embarrassing. I was like, just trying to fit in, you know, But I was wearing, like these fluoro, like, acid wash pink Subi jeans and a Harley Davidson vintage T shirt. That's all I had from home. It was my boyfriend's, and he gave it to me. And I was wearing these crazy guitar Navarro shoes that had, like, I was just wearing crazy outfit. And I was running to my. Because I already booked Fendi, like, without even going to the casting. So I was like, running. And I saw this man, this very distinct man with, like, white, like, hair pulled back. And I had only just started watching fashion tv and I thought it was Ralph Lauren. And so I was like, running, running, running, running, like through the. In Milan. And he was like, Maria Carla, Maria Carla. Do you know Maria Carla the model? Oh, my God. She's iconic. Like, iconic. She's still modeling to this day. Maria Carla Boscono. She's icon. Maria Carla, Maria Carla. And I said, oh, no, I'm not Maria Carla. I'm Nicole. It's nice to meet you. And I shook his hand and he was with Amanda, his muse. Like, I'm Nicole. She's like, I'm Amanda. And then I was like, what's your name?

[Nicole Trumpio]

That's so funny to Carla. He probably loved it, though.

[Lauren Bostick]

He goes like this, I don't have a name. And I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm really late for my fitting for Fendi. I must run. And I ran off and I go upstairs and, like, all the models are sitting there. And I was like, he walks in and I was like, who is that? And they were like, that's Karl Lagerfeld. And I was like, oh, no. I just met him and I asked him what's his name? And the girls were like, you need to. You're gonna get canceled. They were like, you need to go home and get dressed. Like, that was bad, right? That shouldn't have happened. And I was like, oh, my God. So I left my fitting and I called my agency and I was like, this is what happened. And they're like, go to Versace. I had a Versace rehearsal because they had like 100 meter long Runway. The shoes hadn't come in yet. We had to stay there. So I was sitting there and it was taking so long for the shoes to come I remember sitting there for like four or five, six hours. It was like 1am at this point. We did the rehearsal and I went back to Fendi and the Fendi show was at 8am so I had to be at Fendi at like 6am for hair and makeup, knowing I'm going to get canceled. So I go back. It's so late. Like, people in fashion, they really work hard, you know? Like, I saw all the behind the scenes and I'm. And I do my fitting and Carl's like, really, like far on the other side of the room. I go behind a thing, I come out, do my fitting, they take the Polaroid, I do my next look, take the Polaroid, and then I leave. I still think I'm getting canceled. And then I've got like two hours to the show. So I'm like, can I show up late? Because I just got done with the fitting. And they're like, no, this is your first season. You have to be there on time. And so I go there still thinking I'm getting canceled. Oh, no, I missed a big part. When I walked into my fitting in a different outfit, he goes, nicole from Australia, right? Cause I was like, I'm Nicole. Oh my God, it's so embarrassing. Anyway, he didn't cancel me and he booked me for the Chanel Sport campaign right after. And he also booked me for the Lagerfeld Gallery. His campaign.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And probably made you dehumanized you. He probably liked it.

[Lauren Bostick]

He put me on the news in Paris. He's like, this is Nicole from Australia. Oh my God. It was like when he was filming like the Baz Lyman, Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge, you know, it was around that same time.

[Nicole Trumpio]

What year is this? Just to give context.

[Lauren Bostick]

So, wow, okay. What year is this? 2012.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Okay.

[Lauren Bostick]

He was doing. Remember how he did the Chanel number five campaign with her?

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yes.

[Lauren Bostick]

Because she was like, we went to this dinner and she was like, she's so magical, like beautiful. It was just a magical time.

[Nicole Trumpio]

She's Australian, right?

[Lauren Bostick]

She is, yeah. She's like one of my favorite people. I feel like I've lived nine lives. It's wild.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I mean, I'm like, which? I'm like, which life do we go into?

[Lauren Bostick]

It's really crazy.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So from Milan and all these huge opportunities, do you know that you want to be an entrepreneur yet?

[Lauren Bostick]

I knew. I was told that modeling has a five year shelf life. And my principal told me because I felt abandoned. I felt like everyone abandoned me by letting me go to New York. I was like, But I like, how am I going to, I have no money, like, how am I going to make it? You'll be fine. You'll be fine. I was like a straight A student. I come from a poor family and I was like, I'm going to make something from my life. You know, I was really smart and I was like, I am going to make something from my life.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So you're resourceful.

[Lauren Bostick]

I was like. But I was like, this has a five year shelf life. Let me try it. And then I'm going to come back as a mature age student. So I was studying the entire time I was in New York.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Oh my God.

[Lauren Bostick]

I was like, this is not going to last. And that's what led me into business. I was always thinking that my, the job that I was on was gonna be my last. I just didn't know. And I had the longest career, in fact, like I can still model to this day. It's just whether or not it's. I want to, I wanna leave my kids. Same kids I want.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

But like my business is so, it's, you know, it's doing really good. It needs a lot of nurturing and attention and it's really where my heart is in that, in that field, like empowering women. Especially through this transition.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Where does business start to blossom? Like what's the first starting point of it?

[Lauren Bostick]

It would have been before I left Australia. So I was like into it right away. Like I was asking my dad when I was 15, I want to save up, I want to buy real estate. Yeah. And I. So I was really into it. I was just like, even when I first started making money, like a lot of money modeling, my first year, I made a lot of money. I didn't spend any of it. I just bought real estate.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So with all three pregnancies, I have taken ritual. And the reason that I have taken the number one best selling prenatal ritual is because you know what you're getting. Everything is traceable. So they select bioavailable key nutrients that are designed for optimal absorption. So we've talked about this on the Gary Brca episode. It's very, very important to have a methylated folate. This is clinically proven to be well absorbed and it's demonstrated over time a more efficient utilization of folate versus a leading prenatal with folic acid. So when you're reaching for a prenatal, you wanna make sure it's methylated folate. And ritual covers all this for you. I feel like what ritual is selling me is Peace of mind. I don't have to worry about what's in my supplement or what's going to the baby. Like it's just all covered. Their prenatal multivitamin also has a lot of things that support breast milk, which is awesome if you're gonna breastfeed. So they really think about the mom and the baby as a whole. I've just had a really positive experience with this brand. I'm a huge fan of the founder, Kat. She's a mom and she is designing everything for moms.

They're all the rage. Everyone should try one. I love a meatball. I love a daily meatball. Lately I've been chopping up sweet potatoes. I've been doing a little bit of black beans. I do my steak, and then I add a little crunch. And I have been adding some Taylor Farms sweet kale. It is like a chopped salad kit, and it comes ready to go. No chopping, slicing, or leaving half a cabbage in your fridge. We've all done it. This is just fresh greens. It's yummy with dressing. You could do topping. I like it in a meat bowl. You could mix it up, you could play with it. But the point is, is it's ready to go. It's saving you time. Taylor Farms chop salad kits also come in. Caesar, avocado ranch, and Mediterranean crunch. Don't sleep on the Mediterranean crunch. It's really, really good. If you want to do, I don't know, like, a Greek salad meat bowl. I also really like making a hamburger bowl. And so I'll just use the avocado ranch or the sweet kale in my hamburger bowl. And I'll add, like, chopped red onions and cheddar cheese and tomato slices, some jalapeno. It's so, so good. If you guys haven't tried Taylor Farms chopped salad kits, you have to try them. Grab a Taylor Farms chopped salad kit and get your salad together. So you've always been really resourceful, really entrepreneurial, really curious when it comes to money. It sounds like financially literate, too.

[Lauren Bostick]

I think money is not, like, as important to me as. Like, what? Like, I felt rich in my household because of the love and the food and the family, you know?

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

It was just. To me, money represented, like. It's funny because it's not true, but money represented, like, if you had money, you wouldn't fight. I didn't want to fight with my husband because I saw my parents fight over money a lot.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Huh.

[Lauren Bostick]

And I was like, I don't want to fight over money, so let me just make money. So then I don't fight. But obviously that's not true.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's just a limited. No, there's something. You'll find something else.

[Lauren Bostick]

You'll fight anyway. Yeah. And so I just, like, didn't need anything, if that makes sense. So, like, when I was younger, I. When I made a lot of money, I literally called my family and I was like, what do you guys need? And I bought my grandparents a house. They. Their house that they grew up in. They. You know, it was. It was overrun by, like, some crime. And we. We literally, like, bought a piece of land and built them a house. Nicer than a house that I've ever lived in, you know, especially in New York. You pay so much money for a shitty little box. But. And then I called my dad and I was like, do you need anything? And he was like, no, I'm good. And then I. He was like, I just want you to move back to Australia, so let's buy some property here. And I did that. And I. All the time. I was, like, wearing, like, metal, malicious sweatshirts. And, like, my mom wasn't, like, super into fashion, so it didn't. She didn't really, like. You know, she was more into, like, gardening and cooking and dirt bikes and, you know, it was just like, not a thing for me to spend thousands of dollars on a bag.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It makes sense, though, because the just a position of you is that it seems like, like I just said, you're really down to earth, but you also have such a taste and such a eye. So it's almost like that. It seems like you got that from, like, the modeling and the culture and all the things around it and seeing all these people's houses.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

But then you do have that, like, it's. I could see. See how your mother's like that. It's a great mix. I mean, don't you think it's a good mix?

[Lauren Bostick]

I think it's a. Like, it's. It's kind of like if I invest in something, it's like diamonds, jewelry. Love diamonds and jewelry. Love a Chanel bag. Love a G wagon, for example. Like, it's the things that, like, hold value, but what I like. So I don't invest in trend. Right. Okay, so the bump suit is not a trend.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Right. That's why I like it.

[Lauren Bostick]

But I will accessorize it with, like, beautiful things that are timeless. So I don't really. I'm not like, a person of trend. I'm about a person that, like, loves timeless things that can last forever in your wardrobe. It's smart. So I was like, bumsuit has to be that for me, because it's gotta last for maternity. Also beyond into however long you wanna wear it.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Fitness motherhood.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yes. It's like the whole uniform.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You have to tell us the story of Naomi Campbell.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You have to tell us that story.

[Lauren Bostick]

I am Obsessed with her, first of all, like, she is an icon, a gazelle. Like, it's Naomi Campbell. I mean. I mean, so I love her so much. And I remember sitting before the show, I was in a really interesting time of my life. My dad was. He was battling with cancer, and it wasn't going well. My dad really wanted me to do the show because he wanted me to be back in Australia. He always wanted me to be home. And the show was filming in Australia, and my dad was living in New York with me doing a cancer treatment. And he was like, you should do this for your country. And I really wasn't. I didn't feel it, like, intuitively. And I always think you should listen to your intuition. But I didn't. And I was really, like, my mind was elsewhere. You know, I even had, like. They ask you when you do shows, what do you want? You can have, like, what do you want in your green room? What is your specifications? Because you're under, like, hardcore hours. It's a long filming time. And I was like, I just really want to stick to my cleanse. I was on a cleanse, and I had a chef, like, make food from this book from my nutritionist that was the naturopath that helped me through my pregnancies and everything. And I was really clear and clean. But I was really thinking about my dad. And I'd also just gone through a miscarriage. So you can understand, like, if you're going through that things that are arbitrary or seem arbitrary, I just really wasn't with it.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So what happens when you have to go show up and do this show?

[Lauren Bostick]

So I. So basically, I show up, and I know that there was a lot of pre Stuff that I had missed. Like, Naomi and I were meant to hang out a couple of times, and I had to miss a couple of things for personal reasons. And I remember getting on set and thinking, because the show. The show format is about how you have to battle the other coaches to get the girl. So, like, if me and Naomi wanted the same girl, I have to tell the girl why they should choose me, okay? And I was like, what do I. Like, what can I give this girl that, like, Naomi, she. I don't have anything. And I was like, oh, I have more time. Probably because she's a supermodel. She's like, must be, you know, so busy, and, like, she's producing the show, and I'm just a little old me. And so I was like, I think I might have one thing that she doesn't have. And I was like, da na na na na. And I was like, my time. And then it was like, a disaster. And I don't know, like, why?

[Nicole Trumpio]

Why?

[Lauren Bostick]

Because she was like, you don't think. And I was. I thought it was all for tv, So I was kind of playing along. You don't think I could give the girls my time? And then I was fed something in my ear, and I, like, you know, said it.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You're performing, though.

[Lauren Bostick]

You're right.

[Nicole Trumpio]

That's our tv.

[Lauren Bostick]

That's what I thought, but it just never got like. And I don't want to throw anyone under the bus. And so I kind of ate it, and I took it, and I was like, okay, this is just what it is right now.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Who'd the girl choose?

[Lauren Bostick]

Of course she's gonna choose Naomi. And then one of my girls got pregnant on the show, so I lost her. And then she voted off my last girl. And that's the scene where. The scene on the show is, like, the girls had to do a Runway. They weren't allowed to touch their dress. But I've done runways in. You know, as I was saying about Karl Lagerfeld, you have to go to fittings till, like, 6:00 clock in the morning to make sure the clothes fit you. Oh, it's so cool. It's like, even at that level, you're really, like, in fittings at the very high end, design is you're. You're in fittings all night long.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Not Kim Kardashian. She has a body double.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, well, yes, I know. And they have the. Yeah, well, Naomi probably has one too.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah, probably.

[Lauren Bostick]

But I was, like, sitting, you know, so I knew. Well, yeah, maybe that's. Maybe you actually solved the whole issue. Because I was like, the girls. She was like, your girl held her dress. And I was like, but Naomi, like, wearing fittings till 6am in, like, Paris and Milan, like, you know, these girls didn't even get a fitting. And then she was like, don't compare yourself to me. And I was like, I'm not. I'm not. I'm really. I'm not.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So there was. There was tension on the show, which makes for a good show. We can't have a flat show.

[Lauren Bostick]

I think they canceled it after that. They were really, like. It was pretty bad, the whole thing, the way that it was, like, perceived. And I had a lot of people reach out to me thinking that she was bullying me. And the way that I handled it was so graceful. And I was like, no. Like, it was just all a big miscommunication. And, like, I saw Naomi afterwards. After I had my baby. We, like, you know, she met my baby. She knows my husband well. But it's just funny how the Internet can take it or, like, people can switch it, you know, and make it seem a certain way.

[Nicole Trumpio]

We just did an episode on Keeping up with the Kardashians. Cause we interviewed Kourtney.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And in it. In the clip, it shows Courtney sitting down and me saying hi to her and her not standing up. But it doesn't show the whole scene. Yeah, they edit it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And so when they edit it, you don't see the. How Courtney was gracious and amazing and so nice and lovely.

[Lauren Bostick]

There's a scene where she's like, don't compare yourself to me. Like, everyone's gonna go, that's the one. And there's, like, a scene of her saying Tyra Banks going, like you said to me, like, don't ever compare yourself to me. And she was like, I would never say that. And then the meme is like, her saying to me, don't ever compare yourself to me on tv. But I just think it's. You know, I mean, we have to take these things on the chin and just laugh at them and. But I have, like. I've always had so much respect for her, and it's just crazy how things can get, you know, the media. Yeah. And just shown that way and. Or if she can even perceive, you know, if I. If I was disrespectful towards her in any way. Like, I was only trying to, you know, put her on a pedestal, you know, I mean, and be like, maybe my time.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I want to know how you go from being on a show with Naomi to being the talk of the Internet with that, to then having bump suit and being a mom of three. What is the interim of that?

[Lauren Bostick]

The interim. Okay. So from modeling in New York, I always knew that there was something else for me, so I was really doing it. And it was an education. Think about it. You're on sets with art directors, stylists, photographers. The best of the best. I got to meet everybody. I worked for all the magazines, campaigns, Runway, everything. I got to be in the houses, like, the house of Versace, the house of Gucci, the house of Valentino, everything. So I was really absorbing everything that was around me. And I was also studying at the New School at the same time. I was studying 20th century literature, sociology, film, acting. I was studying. I was really trying to, like, focus on what's next. Then I met my husband and I really, like, as I said, my father was battling cancer. I was really. I had a miscarriage. And my husband and I, we wanted to get married first before we had babies, but I was like, I don't want to wait. And when I was promoting the show, I had, like, an ovarian cyst, and I had to go to the hospital, and they had to, like, put me on drugs to let it pass, and the press tour had to get cut. I was going through stuff like that. You know, I really wanted to have kids. Like, it was really important to me. So important to me. And I didn't want to not be able to have kids. So I wanted to transition at that point. And I said to my husband, I really want to have kids now. I've had, at that point, you know, 16. 16 years of modeling. It was way beyond what I thought. I owned properties. I was successful. I was like, I'm good. Like, let's do this. And I moved to Austin to have my first baby, and I just, you know, I started developing a business to empower women.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So what. What does it come out of, though? Are you like, there's nothing cute on the market. I can't do this Amazon fucking moomoo anymore. Like, how? Where are you? Like, there is white space here, and I'm going to disrupt it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. So with Bumpsuit, it was, you know, going through baby number one. Baby number two, I had, like, an extremely traumatic home birth. The first one. Second one went to a hospital. It was great. Third one, I was like, there's not enough information about this. Like, there needs to be more talk about this. Because none of my friends had babies at the time. I read all the books and everything, but I was like, I want more. And so I started investigating, and I never bought maternity. I hated maternity. Some people would send me stuff because I was a model, and I'd be like, I don't even know how you got my address. Get this out of here. It made me feel so bad about myself, and you're already feeling bad about yourself. So I was like, hell, no.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's almost like they said, like, okay, we're gonna put you in the most unattractive period of your life. And I'm just speaking from my experience. Like, you feel. You don't feel super attractive at this point. And then they're like, and now we're gonna give you something so unattractive to wear on top of that.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, it's.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's with, like, stretchy toddler bands and things like that.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Backwards thinking.

[Lauren Bostick]

And yeah, it is. And yeah, it's like Edward Scissorhands took to something.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

And you're like, I already feel like shit. Thanks for making me feel like a science project.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

And I had two kids and I was really dabbling in business and I. My husband's, you know, always away traveling. I have no family here. And I was like, I need something that I can just put on every day and not have to think about it, feel comfortable, not have acid reflux, like burning my esophagus. And I just made this thing, you know.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You made it.

[Lauren Bostick]

It wasn't a bump suit yet. It was like a four way stretch, you know, onesie. Because I had a onesie from like a cheap brand and it was like ripping. It wasn't. Had no stretch. It had a broken zipper. And I was like, let's get some YKK zippers. Let's double line this thing. Let's make some custom fabric. And I just made it for me. And my friend was like, why are you hiding that? Like, I never even thought to like innovate in maternity. I was really thinking about innovating in other fields. Like, I had a jewelry business and I wanted to innovate there. And. And then she was like, you're. You're hiding this from people. Like, women need this. You look good. And I would like wear my bumpsuit and then I would go home and I'd face plant and sleep in it. And then I'd wake up and just put a different jacket on and you can, you can sleep on it.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I do it all.

[Lauren Bostick]

Have you slept in your bunk?

[Nicole Trumpio]

I've done all kinds of things in it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I mean, you should just put a hole in the vagina and I could have sex in it and never get out of it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. So like, it was that vibe.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Take a horror shower.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. Yes.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Listen, everything's harder pregnant. Put a snap at the bottom of it so I don't have to take it off.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, yeah, maybe we'll do that.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I would. I'm requesting that. I would like one that could be our next collab. Okay. Can I have a snap one that I can just call it the bus stick. That's how lazy I am at this point.

[Lauren Bostick]

The bus stick. Yeah. And honestly, I was just like. It was like, you know, some things you. I study meditation and I believe in like, that there's a higher power working through us. And I really acted like a creative portal at that point. And I was like, just tell me what you did you did for women.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Thank you.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. I was like, tell me what to do. And Bumpsuit, that name came to me, and I went home and I trademarked it, and I bought the domain and everything, and I was like, how does no one have this name? Bumpsuit?

[Nicole Trumpio]

And what year is this?

[Lauren Bostick]

The idea was 2019, but we launched in 2020, right before COVID like, one month before COVID hit.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Well, you launched in 2020, so 2019.

[Lauren Bostick]

I was developing it. I had, like, I was breastfeeding my baby, and I was pregnant with another one, like, right after. And so I was really, like, in the weeds.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And who is your first big hit? Because it kind of took off like wildfire. I feel like I saw a lot of really amazing people wearing it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

What was something where. Where you checked your. Your sales on Shopify and you were like.

[Lauren Bostick]

One of the. Like, one of those moments was crazy. Like, we had a lot of celebrities wearing it, a lot of, like, influencers wearing it. But the. The one where the, like, I kept my ringer on because I was doing it from home, like, fulfilling orders, everything with the baby in a Moses basket. My husband thought I was crazy. I had all the inventory. It was Covid and the phone, the ringer, when the sale hits, was still on at that point. And I was like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. It was, like, crazy. I was like, what is happening? Hannah Bronfman was wearing the support waist trainer, which I actually have on now. I wear it all the time still. And she posted it. She's like, I don't believe in snapback culture, but this product is like, it. And she did this whole very real post on Instagram, and it just went crazy.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I want to talk about this waist trainer. Okay. So a little bit of context with both of my babies that I've had. I've worked with Belly Bind.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

With Princess. A lot of people who listen to the podcast will know who I'm talking about. She came to in la, my first one, and she would bind my stomach with this beautiful, like, silk.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And then she flew to Austin for Towns, and she binded my stomach, and she's doing it this time with this baby. But when I started talking to you, you told me that you guys also did this collab where if you can't have Princess come to you and bind you, there's a waist trainer that, like, literally does it. And you were telling me how use it. And I feel like the audience would be very intrigued.

[Lauren Bostick]

That ritual of binding that Princess does, it comes from, like, ancient rituals.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So it's not snapback culture.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's not. It's really not.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Pop the uterus back in because it's. Mine was hanging out.

[Lauren Bostick]

You need it as a woman. Like, it's. It's like an ancient ritual Ayurveda culture. Ayurveda, they have Ayurvedic postpartum doulas, which I have after studying, like, transcendental meditation. It was, like, really important for me to follow the philosophies, which is really supporting the woman to recover after birth. So the binding of the stomach traditionally is actually to help support your organs come back into place and your spine and to give you a core because you're breastfeeding right after, if you are able to. So what are you going to do? Like, how are you going to support yourself at night? You need something, you know, it provides compression. It's all about healing. And in Ayurveda, they have vata, kapha, and pitta energy. So when you have a baby, you have a lot of vata energy, which is air energy. So you feel like once you give birth, you feel light, like all that weight is gone, so you need to ground yourself again. And all of the warm foods, warm teas, foods like chai lattes, things like this. And, like, all the warm food is meant to be the only thing you eat for, like, two weeks after you give birth in Ayurvedic culture. So I was like, how do we do that? In a very practical way, because who has time to bind? It takes a long time. And it's really. It's really quite. It can be aggressive. So we developed the support waist trainer, which is like.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah, show us. Okay, you guys got to go on YouTube so you can get a show. Carson, don't get too excited.

[Lauren Bostick]

So we have, like, throw it to me. I have it on.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You have. You're wearing the actual.

[Lauren Bostick]

I'm wearing it, so. Yeah, I wear it still.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Oh, you're wearing it with a bra. I thought that was a bodysuit. You guys are gonna have to go see that. So it's a bump suit bra with the waist trainer.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. And so basically, it's like. It's actually really low. It goes over the hip bone, you know.

[Nicole Trumpio]

That is so cute. It almost looks like a. Like a bodysuit.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, it's really thin, and it's just got a boning in it. So it's not, like, aggressive. It's really stretchy. See?

[Nicole Trumpio]

So it also. I feel like it's designed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's like, designed for a woman. Whereas, like the ones on Amazon feel like they're like thrown together. This, this looks like something I would like, wear out under what you're wearing.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, you can wear it under jeans.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And you still wear it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Even though I wear it all the time. We wear it in the office.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Why?

[Lauren Bostick]

It supports, like, even our pediatrician wears it because she had back surgery. People that work at an office job wear it. Wear it when I'm working out on planes. It's like the best thing to stop bloating. Holds you up. Oh, that's like, you know how you get bloated.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So it's like compression socks for your stomach.

[Lauren Bostick]

Exactly. Compression socks or something. Like, I. If I don't wear this on the plane, I'm bloated. And I'm also so gassy too. If I wear this, it's. Should I not have said that?

[Nicole Trumpio]

So tell me how you wear it post.

[Lauren Bostick]

Like, I fly with her. I know.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Jen's like, woo, woo.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's getting hot in here. So. Yeah. So basically it's a compression bands for postpartum healing. But also you can wear it through life to stop bloating. You can wear it to sleep. You can wear it. It's comfortable enough to sleep in and you can wake up with a flat stomach. It. It's overall just really helpful.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So say someone's giving birth.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You said you put it on in the hospital.

[Lauren Bostick]

I put it on like 24 hours after I gave birth. You have to talk to your doctor, obviously.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I say this every episode though.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's like, I felt so great.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Did you go like a larger size than you would think?

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, usually like size down. So I'll get like one or two sizes above and I'll like really just see how I'm feeling.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And it just holds everything in.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, it does.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It supports you.

[Lauren Bostick]

It supports you. It, it helps you. Like the way that I would describe it, if I were to describe it in words is like when you put it on, you feel automatically like a superhero. You just feel better. You're standing up straight, you're like, I'm ready to tackle this.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Also, you've been like Quasimodo, hunched over, hunchback, a Notre Dame for like dom, whatever.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Nine to 10 months. It's. It's kind of like, ah, yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

It feels so good. Like I just feel like, you know, I can.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You can do this. Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's just that feeling is like I've got this. So, like getting your makeup done, you're.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Like, okay, I feel Fresh.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. You're just like, okay, this is what.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I need to wear it forever because I wear my. My belly bind that Princess does for me. I think I wor. For like a week.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. Like, you kept it on.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

So that's the thing is, like, I mean, I was committed. Princess, she. She might even do it for you. She'll put our support waist trainer on underneath her binding.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Okay. So just extra support.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, it's. They really pair really well together.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Well, I want to. What. What I wanted to do was continue the energy of what Princess did.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

After she left. And now that I know that I can do that with your waist trainer. Yeah, that's. It's genius.

[Lauren Bostick]

This is like, I can't believe you didn't have this on the first two babies. Because this was like, first one of our first products. We had 10 and this was this. We've had this since the beginning, and it's still our best selling product.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I think what I have found so interesting about doing this collaboration with you is your. Your stuff is not just for pregnancy. It's not just for maternity. Like, it really can take you throughout each chapter of a woman's journey. Like the postpartum journey. Like, you can use the waist trainer. And then I also saw you in the shoot in this super cute jumpsuit. It was like a workout athleisure jumpsuit. And my best friend Gillian, she, I think went and bought it and she's not pregnant.

[Lauren Bostick]

Like, it's.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's just really flattering.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. It, you know, bumpsuit. I don't. I hate maternity wear. So, like, we call ourselves like the non maternity maternity company.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

So everything that we sell, you can wear afterwards and we actually fit it that way. So when we are developing product, we have a pregnant model and a non pregnant model, and we have to make sure that it fits both so that you're investing in a wardrobe piece for the future. Yeah. And so, like all the bump suits, you know, the Lucy, the one that we have in the collab, it's the best selling bump suit style. I wear that all the time still to this day. It's just so easy.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's so comfortable.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's so easy and it really easy to style. You can wear it lounging, you can wear it on a date night. It's like whatever. You can put sneakers on and go for a walk in it. It's just one and done versatile, you know?

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. And so that's why it's been, I think, so successful is. And nobody's been able to duplicate it. There's so many copies out there, but we have like custom fabric and nobody has been able to get our softness.

[Nicole Trumpio]

You also have your team and your essence, which makes a big difference.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, our community is beautiful. Like our team and our community, it really just makes going to work so much joy. It's like, wow, I get to do this. And all of our community is really involved in developing products with us and testing them and trying them out and giving feedback. We really want to make motherhood, like desirable from a product perspective. It's like, you don't want to think I'm pregnant. You want to think like, I get to wear a bump suit, I get to rock a bump suit, I get to wear the activewear, I get to get the armadillo baby carrier, I get to get the support waist trainer, like where I develop. We're going into beauty very soon. We're bringing out a postpartum kit, like this year. And we're bringing humor and joy and like really just trying to raise the vibration and bring some kind of like energizing spirit and camaraderie into this crazy journey that us women have to go on. It's like, you know, I'm just always like, whatever we do, let's make people smile. Like, how do we infuse a smile? How do we get a smile in there? And so we're really just bringing that like light, light heartedness and camaraderie to our products. And it's really exciting, like what we have planned, because you're really going to see that essence in the postpartum kit in when we go into beauty, it's like really innovative there when we go. We're going into other product categories too down the line and it's just like, how do we make it like desirable? Like, oh, I'm pregnant, I get to wear a bump suit and I'll have the products forever.

[Nicole Trumpio]

A collab with you. This is exactly, this is why I wanted to do the collab with you in the first place. Because I am someone who has worn the brand in my pregnancies. It's made me feel so much better. In a time where you don't necessarily feel the best.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And when I, I look forward to putting it on. And so I was like, I feel like everyone who is in my community, if they have not tried Bumpsuit, which I'm sure a lot of them have, they have to try it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's like a no brainer.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Why did you decide and why? How do you pick who you collab with.

[Lauren Bostick]

So we've been dying to collab with you.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I know.

[Lauren Bostick]

I feel like we've been, like, manifesting it for so long.

[Nicole Trumpio]

We both were manifesting it.

[Lauren Bostick]

I'm such a fan. And honestly, I was saying to my team today, getting to work with you, like, you're my favorite person we've ever worked with. You're so. So incredibly, like, creative. Really a part of the process. Like, loved having all of your feedback. Like, it's a true collaboration. Sometimes when you work with people, it's like you get a bit of them or their team, but with you, it's, like, so cool to see how involved you are, you know, with everything.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I want it to be a home run. I always say this to our team, like, it's so important. I feel like you guys have the same ethos, that it's a home run for three entities. It has to be a home run for me. It has to be a home run for you. But most importantly, it has to be a home run for the community.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yes.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And I think that. I think sometimes with collaborations, people are just looking at, like, you and I. It needs to also be a home run for them.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And I want them to open this box and be so excited and feel the same way that I felt the whole time wearing this.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I'm wearing. I'm wearing a bump suit right now. If you guys watch YouTube too. My whole outfit, head to toe, it's so comfortable. You actually introduced me to this set. What is this set called?

[Lauren Bostick]

So this is new for us. It was our first denim. Like, our first kind of, like, venture into denim. It sold out, like, immediately.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Oh, is this.

[Lauren Bostick]

I think it sold out in, like, a day.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Is it sold out now?

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, I think we're getting. We're gonna get it back.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's on pre order. Okay. I'm obsessed.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's on pre order. Yeah, it's on pre order. So the denim. Because I'm, like, so anti toddler, stretchy band denim. So the denim, I just can't. The denim you can wear afterwards, and it's gonna be so cute. Yeah, it's like a really cute pant. It's like a fold over.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I feel just. I feel fresh in it. I don. Like an old sow.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. And that's exactly what we're trying to do is, like, make you feel like I'm pregnant, but I'm still me.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

Right.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Like, I'm not an utter. You know, like, sometimes, like, when I'm sleeping, it feels like a cow on the side. Like, you know, can you picture it? Like, that's when I put bumpsuit on. I don't feel like that. So I would describe bumpsuit to someone. How do you balance your husband who's extremely successful.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Your success and three children. What's. What are your secrets? And I don't know if balance is.

[Lauren Bostick]

A good word, but I. Look, I'm. I'm not one of those people that are like, I just do it. Like, I think something always gets sacrificed.

[Nicole Trumpio]

100.

[Lauren Bostick]

And you know, I have to choose, like, what is gonna get sacrificed. And I. It's not perfect. I really, right now am really focused on trying to find a balance. But, you know, something's gotta give. The kids right now are in that stage. You know, they're not babies anymore. It's hard for me to put them with a babysitter because. Or a nanny because I'm just. They need mom and dad. So I'm really like, focusing on time with them. Like, I'll do like a foot massage every night for 20 minutes for each of them just to like, this is a new thing, by the way. What? Because they're actually talking. And when your kids start actually having full conversations with you, it's awesome to. I'm not a story. I don't like. I like them reading books to me. But like, when I started reading books to them, I do it, but I fall asleep. It puts me to sleep too. And I'm like, I have like a hundred emails in my inbox. Like, I can't be going to sleep. So I changed my ritual for like, you read to me while I give you a foot massage. Or we can talk about your day. So they get to choose.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Amazing.

[Lauren Bostick]

And they're all like, reading now. So how old? 10, 7 and 5.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Okay.

[Lauren Bostick]

And so, you know, usually they all want to talk to me about their day. So it's a really great bonding time that we have together. And that has been monumental. Also, I'm a glass half full person. I look at things like, what's the positive, not what's the negative?

[Nicole Trumpio]

Bobby, we had the founder on the podcast and it was crazy to hear all about the formula industry. Bobby isn't just another formula. It's a movement. And it's one that was started with a mom who wanted something better for her babies and yours. And they have done three years of research, testing, retesting with a mom, led development to create Bobi. Bobbi has launched the world's first USDA organic whole milk infant formula that's manufactured right here in the United States. And a lot of people have asked why whole milk? Because milk fat matters. So it's the closest formula to breast milk with creamy goodness plus fewer plant based oils. What I like about this formula is it has DHA in it and this supports brain development, which is really, really important in the first year of life. Their ingredients also meet the strictest organic standards literally in the world. Because USDA organic isn't something you buy, it's something that you have to earn. They're clean label certified and recently named consumer Reports top choice for formula. It's trusted by 500,000 plus parents nationwide and counting. Plus it tastes good. Don't take my word for it. Your baby's bottle will tell you. And we got to try it on air. We literally got to try the formula. It's really good.

One product that has transformed not only my sleep, but my jawline is mouth tape. I mouth tape every single night. There is not a night that goes by that I miss mouth taping. And the first thing that I notice is I wake up with way more energy. When your nose breathing all night, you get so much more oxygen. It's incredible. And also it supports your tongue posture while you see sleep, which sculpts your jawline and makes it stronger. So what I've noticed is better tongue posture, better sleep, more energy in the morning. I cannot live without it. The other night I actually fell asleep for like two hours without my mouth tape and I woke up with a dry mouth. I felt like I was almost like hungover. I can't explain it. I have to have this as my nightly routine. So what I do is after my skin care, I put the Skinny confidential mouth tape on. It has a tiny little slit so you can use a straw if you thirsty in the middle of the night to drink. And then I sleep with it all night. And then in the morning, I mist my face, I remove it, and it is the sleep hack of a lifetime. I know anyone who is looking for a better sleep, more energy in the morning, and a more sculpted jawline will love it. You can shop it [e-mail]. that's shopskinnyconfidential.com. how do you and your husband keep it sexy when he's gone? What's.

[Lauren Bostick]

What's the tips like?

[Nicole Trumpio]

Put on a bunch of sex.

[Lauren Bostick]

Is that still a thing?

[Nicole Trumpio]

No, I don't even mean like sex. I just mean, like, how did you guys go on date night? Like, what do you guys do to keep it spicy? Not necessarily just with sex.

[Lauren Bostick]

I think, like, distance makes it spicy.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

Like, I couldn't imagine having.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I could use some distance. He's up my ass. I think it's great to have a little distance sometimes when Michael's driving me so nuts. I will. I will give him distance. I'll create distance.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's important.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah, I agree. I want him to call me and be like, when are you home?

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And I'm like, trust me, Michael, if you're listening, you know, maybe take a trip.

[Lauren Bostick]

That's the book. I want all of my daughters to read that book.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Why Men love bitches.

[Lauren Bostick]

I think it's a really important book for women to read, to be empowered, feel empowered. It's like there was this woman, she was like a goddess laying on a sunbed and her husband was by her and she. He walked away for a second. She looked at me and Jen and she was like, do you know how much power you have? And I was like, whoa. Like, I don't know if I know that. Hold on.

[Nicole Trumpio]

That's the next bumpsuit commercial. You should do that. Woman laying on a lounge. A lounge chair wearing bump suit. And that's what she says.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Before we get into the whole collaboration, you have to tell us before. Wellness, diet, beauty, health, any secrets that you have. So you look amazing after three children. Like, what's the tips? Are you a certain diet?

[Lauren Bostick]

We Care Spa. I don't know if you've heard of it.

[Nicole Trumpio]

We Care Spa.

[Lauren Bostick]

If you haven't, Girls weekend. We're going. I've been going to this place for like 15 years, and Donna Karen and Tom Ford, you know, they frequent this place and she's just like renovated it and it's gorgeous. It's basically like a detox retreat, but it's based around colonics. Okay. It's all about the lymph system. So I'm all about the lymph system. So, like, jumping on the trampoline with my kids, I'm like, this is so fun. There's a trampoline outside of your room. Like a mini one.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So smart.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yep. You've really got to shake it up. So I really believe in that sauna every day. I have an infrared sauna at my house. That's something I was like, am I going to Pay, you know, $15,000 to go on this trip, or am I gonna pay $15,000 and get a infrared sauna sauna in my house that I'll have forever.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Agreed.

[Lauren Bostick]

I think it's the best investment. And I've got the biggest sauna. You can get one that's like three grand. But it's the best investment to make because you should be using it every day. You can. There is so much toxicity in what we eat and what we drink and what we breathe. And you need to get it out. So I really believe in, like sweating the lymph system, dry brushing, anything that evolves around lymphatic system. You're big. Draining it. Yeah. And so I go to Wecare Spa like once a year. And I also do, like a cleanse where I'll, like, not eat for a day just to give my system a reset. I don't do colonics at all during the year. I only do them there because I don't know if it's good for your gut health to be doing colonics. And I don't do colonics just to flatten my stomach. I use the support waist trainer instead. But I will. I will literally just do them there for a really intense period. And they also are giving you probiotics and you're eating a certain way. You're having smoothies. Try this. So it's like really geared for that. You should look it up. It's magical. And you're also doing at the same time, like a lot of like, you know, you're doing magnesium wraps and you use a lot of castor oil, which you use.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I love castor oil.

[Lauren Bostick]

Used a lot of castor oil.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And how many days do you go?

[Lauren Bostick]

You can go anywhere from two nights to like seven nights. I mean, some people live there. There's people that have been there. But it really, honestly, since I. Since I. Because I took a break from going there while I was pregnant and breastfeeding and I went back three years ago and I haven't been sick, like, not even a cold since I've been going there. And I also did this crazy thing. So you take phosphoric acid three times a day while you're there for three days. And then on the last day you do like a quarter of a cup of olive oil and a quarter of a cup of lemon juice and you shot it. And then you gotta lay on your side for 30 minutes, I think. 30 minutes. And the next day I had like in my colonic, like green, like lime green color, like stones. About like 30 of them. This big stop come out of me from what it's like, all the buildup and basically what happens.

[Nicole Trumpio]

So good.

[Lauren Bostick]

I've never felt better. I have never felt better. It was like I was carrying a weight. I bet you was heavy too.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Also anesthesia and epidural and birth and blah. And all the makeup and beauty products, all the processing.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. So it was so crazy because I actually like. It's so gross. But so I did my colonic. And colonics are so clean there as well. It's like going to get a massage. Like you don't smell anything. There's no, like nothing. But I. They didn't pass in my colonic, but I went to the bathroom, I felt this like, pain afterwards and I went to the bathroom and they passed and the colonic person was like, take a Photo. So I got my iPhone to take a photo, and it was an automatic toilet, and it was flushed, so I never got to show her because they're really obsessed.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Carson really wanted to see it so that he's really bummed that you don't have that photo on your phone as a screensaver.

[Lauren Bostick]

Obsessed with what comes out of your body.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's crazy, but I bet they can dissect it.

[Lauren Bostick]

You know what happens? It's. It's because of the phosphoric acid. So it softens and it. And it softens the Whatever. Those hardened, whatever it is in. In there that it sounds like microplastic.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Who knows what it is?

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. And so when you. Well, if it. If they pass through to your gore, it's a ghost tone.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Does it hurt after or it only feels good?

[Lauren Bostick]

It hurt right before I passed them. It was like a pain. And then. I've never felt better since that happened. I've never felt better.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It almost. This sounds weird, but, like, we accumulate so many different things as humans as we get older and go on, that you almost don't even know that you don't feel good until a weight is lifted.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yes.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Does that make sense?

[Lauren Bostick]

Definitely. Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And I could see why that's something that you're like, whoa, I didn't even know how bad I felt.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. Yes. And I'm like, everyone needs to do this.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I want to try that.

[Lauren Bostick]

I think, you know, it depends on your body type, but I think when you go to Wecare Spa, they do the biometric profiling. So you do biofeedback, it's called. And they can tell, like, what's going on in your body.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Okay. You sold me on that.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's really crazy.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Lauren Bostic, Times Bumpsuit. It's live. A collaboration that I am personally so proud of. And I don't even know if you know this, but I have never done a collaboration where I've put my name on it. I've done Skinny Confidential collaborations. But this is really special to me because I was able to curate everything with you and your incredible team every step along the way. So I'm very excited about this.

[Lauren Bostick]

We're so honored.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And there's limited. It's exclusive, so it will sell out. But why I'm excited is that you don't have to be pregnant to get these kits. Okay. So you can be just someone who wants to feel flattered and tight and held in.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

In the cutest, most stylish, elevated, intentional clothing.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Tell us from your perspective what each kit contains.

[Lauren Bostick]

So the kit that is the no brainer that everyone needs to get is the sleep kit.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yes.

[Lauren Bostick]

The cloud loungewear, which comfortable I think you were wearing when you announced your pregnancy.

[Nicole Trumpio]

This is so.

[Lauren Bostick]

And we were like, oh my God, she's wearing Bumpsuit. We have to work with her. I think you're wearing the cloud pants.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I. I was. But also you guys, it pajamas irritate your lymphatic system. So I never really wear them except with this set. It doesn't cut you off. I love the set.

[Lauren Bostick]

It's really interesting. Like Rima Willis, she said that Bumpsuit fabric was the only fabric that she could wear that didn't irritate her skin, which is crazy. It's so soft. Like there's nothing like it. But the cloud set is unbelievable. And that is in the first kit with the mouth tape. So you'll have the best sleep ever. And it's. I think you can choose out of the ice pink cloud set, which is new, or the Ivory cloud set. Cloud is just like everyone needs a cloud set.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And the ice pink is like so pale. It's almost white.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

It's not like, it's not like, like really loud pink. It's the perfect like really pale shade.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, it's beautiful.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Buttery soft.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, buttery soft. And then for the second kit, it's like a new mom kind of kit. So it's got the support waist trainer, the Lucy, which you can wear through pregnancy and postpartum, and the Armadillo baby carrier with the mouth tape and the mint roller, which I'm so obsessed with.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I love that you love it.

[Lauren Bostick]

And that's like, I mean, I love all the products. I was like, how do we do more? And that's. Yeah, we might have to do some more kits.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Well, yeah, I feel like we have a lot of fun things that we can do.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

In the next couple months or year, we have some ideas brewing.

[Lauren Bostick]

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yep. And also I did a curated edit on your site of my favorites.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yes.

[Nicole Trumpio]

This is the only baby carrier I will be wearing and there's a reason for that. You explained how you thought about it. You thought about it really differently than another baby carrier.

[Lauren Bostick]

So explain.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Explain that.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah. So I had like the most beautiful baby carrier when I had my babies, but it was like the most stunning one, but it just had no utility.

[Nicole Trumpio]

We have to have utility.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And also like I can't be buckling into like Fort Knox, like a Mental institution. Jack. I gotta just strap it on.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, exactly. It has to be easy time. Like moms are on the go.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Yeah.

[Lauren Bostick]

User friendly. So ours is super user friendly. It's the easiest one to get on, but it also has utility. So it has a back lumbar which is so important to support your sacrum after giving birth. Especially you need that. And you can wear it for hours and hours and hours with no pain. It's very well balanced. It has padding in the straps, but the weight balance is really great. I use it with my three and a half year old which is, you know, she's just way too big for it, but she still loves it and I can wear her in it, which is like, you know, you don't need to do that.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Wear my 2 year old.

[Lauren Bostick]

If you're. Yeah, yes. You can Definitely wear your 2 year old. Have Michael use it while you're pregnant.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Can I use it on Michael right now?

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

I just got that motherfucker empathy belly. Do you know what that is? Yeah, yeah. It's a fake stomach for him to wear all day long.

[Lauren Bostick]

I want to see a photo day long enough to post it.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Maybe he can wear empathy belly and I will get strapped in on his chest with a bump suit. The one that I bought is the oyster one.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah.

[Nicole Trumpio]

And this is amazing that you're telling me I can wear my 2 year old in it.

[Lauren Bostick]

Yeah, you can definitely. I mean 100%.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Okay.

[Lauren Bostick]

We have a phone pocket. We have a pocket for your water bottle. Anything you want to hang off of it. We have a weather cover as well.

[Nicole Trumpio]

Smart. Which like you can breastfeed in it.

[Lauren Bostick]
