114. (S7E6) Thinking Critically, Aging Gracefully & Being a True Influencer with Lyn Slater, Accidental Icon

<p>Today’s guest is someone of which I’m a huge fan, who lives as a role model for my future, who has hundreds of thousands of followers, and who has even been featured in commercials for GoDaddy.</p><p>She’s Lyn Slater, the Accidental Icon. She has multiple degrees and lives in New York where she taught social work at Fordham University for 20 years. She’s a fashion icon, but what really sets her apart is her critical thinking. Throughout her academic work and teaching career, she balances creativity with thoughtfulness for learning and education. She’s also a person of integrity and depth.</p><p>Lyn started Accidental Icon when she had trouble finding a fashion blog that offered an urban, modern, and intellectual aesthetic for women who live what she calls “interesting but ordinary” lives in cities. Women who – like her – aren’t celebrities, but are smart, creative, fashion-forward, thoughtful, engaged, and comfortable with who they are.</p><p><strong>You can download show notes for the podcast here: </strong><a href="http://blog.bravewriter.com/category/podcasts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>http://blog.bravewriter.com/category/podcasts/</strong></a></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><ul><li>Learn more: <a href="https://www.accidentalicon.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">accidentalicon.com</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iconaccidental/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@iconaccidental</a></li><li>Want help getting started with Brave Writer?
