#63 Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Product Launches: Nicolette's Story of Grit.
In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of the GROWTHSchema podcast, we sit down with Nicolette, a Maltese fashion designer, medical doctor, and founder of Lumija Swim—a luxury swimwear brand celebrated for empowering women through inclusive design.
Nicolette opens up about the highs and lows of her journey, including her experience with an ectopic pregnancy, hyperemesis gravidarum (a severe form of pregnancy-related nausea), and a postpartum stroke that left her temporarily without mobility in one arm. We talk about how these life-altering experiences shaped her perspective and how she continues to navigate a dual career in both medicine and fashion entrepreneurship.
We also explore the origin story of Lumija, the vulnerability that comes with launching a brand rooted in body positivity, and what it really means to lead with both purpose and resilience.
