Sarah Lederman: Interior Design, Landline Phones & Hulken Bags

For the third episode of the podcast, Nan sits down with her friend (and former PR client!) Sarah Lederman, a New York-based interior designer and the founder of Three Fates Textiles, a brand new textile and wallpaper line that is an extension of Sarah's signature layered, collected aesthetic. They talk about the year-long journey of bringing Three Fates to market, the Greco-Roman influences behind her first collection, and why launching through trade showrooms like Temple Studio, Design Social Studio and Harbinger felt like the right first step. Then Nan asks some practical questions about interior design – when and how to hire an interior designer, what makes a good client, and Sarah's high-low approach to deciding when to spend and when to save. We also get Sarah’s perspective on raising two daughters in New York City without iPads or cell phones, the "Wait Until 8th" pledge, Sarah's recent travels to Bhutan and Morocco, and the family tennis ritual at Randall's Island that has become her favorite weekend hobby. The episode closes with Sarah sharing three noteworthy tips for small tools and systems that help her stay grounded at work and at home.

Trailer: Real Life, Right Now

Noteworthy with Nan is a weekly interview podcast about life in the current moment. Have you ever wondered how women who seem to have it all together are truly getting through their days? We ask those questions and get real, honest answers. Each week, Nan Philip sits down with friends and women she admires for candid, in-person conversations about real life; no polished business origin stories or publicist-prepped answers. But just the reality of life; the highs and the lows. We talk about work, relationships, friendships, hobbies, and the moments that never make it onto a perfectly curated Instagram grid. Guests share the tips, tricks and systems they use to navigate and simplify their hectic days.  No one has it all figured out. But by listening to how our peers are navigating the messy world of day-to-day life, we hope to spark new ideas, offer fresh perspectives, and remind ourselves that we are not alone in the chaos.
