138: Creating a Global Swimwear Brand as a Single Mum: Rebecca Klodinksy's Re-Claims the Word Ambition
Episode 138
Monday, 25 August, 2025
Rebecca Klodinskyʼs entrepreneurial journey defies conventional expectations at every turn. From her early decision to forego typical teenage celebrations in favor of investment purchases to building a swimwear empire that caught the attention of the Kardashians, her story exemplifies what happens when unwavering determination meets strategic vision.What makes Rebecca truly remarkable isn't just her business acumen—it's her ability to maintain that drive while navigating life's complexities. As she shares candidly in our conversation, building IIXIIST Swimwear as a single mother required ruthless prioritisation: "There were only two things on the table—the firstborn and the business. Everything else took a second seat." This practical approach extended to purchasing a house specifically designed to separate work and family life, demonstrating her forward-thinking approach to work-life integration.When AFL star Lockie Henderson entered the picture, Rebecca faced the challenge of being labeled a "WAG"—a term often used dismissively for athletes' partners. Rather than letting this define her, she continued building her empire, eventually launching Prestwick Place jewelry with Lockie as her business partner. Their dynamic showcases what happens when two ambitious individuals join forces: "It's nice to have someone that is your person... It's a safe space when the shit hits the fan." As Rebecca notes, having a partner who matches her drive creates a relationship where "the whole unit rises."Perhaps most refreshing is Rebecca's honest advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. In an era of social media glamorization, she offers a reality check: "If you don't have that tenacity to sit out on a weekend, to say no to things, to really focus on yourself, then I wouldn't even try." This perspective challenges the narrative that entrepreneurship is for everyone, suggesting that being honest about your drive is the first step toward genuine success. Whether you're considering starting a business, balancing career and family, or simply navigating your own path, Rebecca's journey offers valuable insights into staying true to yourself while creating extraordinary success.Ready to hear more stories of remarkable women defying expectations?
