As women, we can do hard things, and we are stronger than we know. But at some point every woman needs a few tools in her toolbox when it comes to managing the challenges life throws our way. As a highly sensitive woman, these tools have helped me to adapt and overcome every challenging situation that has come my way. Something doesn’t go my way, I have an argument with my man, my energy levels are challenged, I’m having hot flashes…whatever it is, I have leaned on these tools time and time again to get me through and to help me live my beautiful life. Have a stressful day? Instead of reaching for a glass of wine, try meditating, taking a walk in nature or calling a friend…. Angry at your spouse? Instead of fuming and acting in destructive ways, try Elegant Acceptance, EFT (tapping), breathwork or putting on some kick-ass music and moving your body to work through it! Feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Meditation, yoga, calming music, and breathwork can help. These are the tools that have kept me grounded, feeling connected to myself, and fuel me to live my best each day. Over the years I’ve added to this list and, after talking with so many women and sharing many of these, I wanted to share them with you in hopes they can help to empower you to get through any situation that may come up. ** Please consult your doctor before taking any vitamins, supplements or adaptogens. 1/ Connection to God/Spirit/Source This is your foundation and the key to living a purpose-filled life. Connect to God through:  Prayer  Meditation  Mindfulness 2/ Physical Movement Moving your body helps to ground you, keep you connected to yourself and keep you lithe and agile.

Play music whenever you need a lift, when you need to focus or when you want to relax. 9/ Support System Surround yourself with friends, family and mentors who pump you up, soothe you and help you get back up when you’re feeling flat.

Accessories are the fun part of your wardrobe and the icing on the cake.  They’re where you really get to have fun with a look and inject a bit of your own personality into the mix.  But more than just a fun way to highlight your look, accessories are IMPORTANT.  They provide the finishing touch to an outfit. Much like the punctuation mark at the end of a sentence, they help set the tone.  Best of all, they can transform an outfit from casual to dressy and back at the drop of a hat (literally!).  Sadly, many women tell me they don’t know HOW to wear accessories, so they default to wearing the same basic pieces day in and day out, missing opportunities to uplevel their look and express their personal style. In this podcast we’ll discuss: 1 – Compelling reasons to focus on wearing accessories. 2 – The 4 Elements to Consider when wearing accessories 3 – How to wear accessories to punctuate your look 4 – How to avoid letting your accessories take away from your outfit, or wear you 5 – How to leverage accessories to look more vibrant and even slimmer!   Be sure to share this podcast with a friend!

The muffin top, or extra skin around your midriff that spills out of your waistband in an unattractive fashion is just a fact of life for those of us who have given birth, lost or gained weight or just are experiencing the changes our body brings with age. So suffice it to say that if you have a muffin top, you are indeed in the majority. But as common as muffin tops are, dressing to hide one can be a bit of a challenge. Often what we find in stores is fitted clothing that looks great if you have zero percent body fat, but if you have even an extra pound on your frame you may not want to wear such show-everything clothing. Here are my top 5 suggestions to mask your muffin top and and look fabulous: 1/ Draw the Eye Upward Let’s put the focus on your face! Wear colors, jewelry and accessories that bring light to your face and help you to look fabulous. No one will even notice your muffin top and your confidence will soar. 2/ Wear Clothes that Fit It might seem like a no-brainer, but nothing adds to a muffin top more than ill-fitting pants or a shirt that is too tight. Be sure you’re wearing pants that have the right rise with a waistband that hits you at the right place, and that your shirts aren’t bursting at the seams. You also want to steer clear of anything that is big and baggy. Hiding behind clothing that is too big for you is also a recipe for disaster! 3/ Tops with Strategic Placement When you want to hide a little jiggle around the middle, wear a cute top that offers forgiveness. This can come in one of three forms: 1. A Bubble Hem – A bubble hem offers a little extra ease allowing the fabric to gently skim the body and be more flattering. Bonus points if it’s longer in back. 2. Do a Half-Tuck – simply by doing a half-tuck, you break up the horizontal line and create a little extra ease. 3. Front tie at hemline – Tops that have a front tie at hemline cleverly camouflage a muffin top and create a sleek, chic look. 4/ Layer it Up - Sometimes just adding a third layer can cover up lumps, bumps and bulges that keep you from feeling confident. But instead of piling on something hot and heavy, opt for a long, lean cardigan or jacket that gently skims your body and leaves

you looking tres chic! You could also layer a long sleeveless vest over a top or blouse to create the same effect. 5/ Avoid Clingy Fabrics Wearing tops in fabrics like lightweight knits can often cling to your rolls, amplifying them rather than camouflaging them. Opt for fabrics that have a little ‘substance’ to avoid drawing attention to your problem areas. In this podcast we’ll discuss: 1. What style tops can camouflage a muffin top 2. How certain styles can amplify a muffin top - and elevate a bad mood 3. How fabrics make a difference and which ones to look out for 4. What you should avoid wearing at all costs Be sure to share this with a friend! And don’t forget to leave a review.

Color is the first thing people notice about you and the element that makes the greatest impact on your image. When you let it work for you – not against you – you can leverage it to help you take your look to new heights! Lately I’ve been asked if the colors a woman should wear changes with the seasons. After all, your color harmony is based on the four seasons, so it would make sense that as the seasons and the landscape change, that your colors would change too, right? In this podcast you’ll discover: - How the seasons affect the colors you wear - A new way to think about color that will transform your style - How to change your makeup to coordinate with your colors - How to create a color capsule - How to streamline getting dressed - A simple way to look more polished that feels effortless! This just may change how you wear color – and how you get dressed! Be sure to share this with a friend! And don’t forget to leave a review.

Keeping up with the trends each season goes a long way with keeping your wardrobe looking fresh and modern and prevents you from looking dated and frumpy. Skip a few seasons and suddenly you begin to fall into a rut, feel matronly and not nearly as chic and up-to-date as you would like to be. However, embracing the trends each season isn’t at all about being dictated to. I want to encourage you to keep an eye on the trends and then use them merely as suggestions for what you could bring into your wardrobe. The good news about the trends is that each season there are a variety of options. There is no one color or trend that is going to look gorgeous on everyone, so fortunately we have many options from which to choose. Different looks, colors and styles are offered in a smorgasbord that is yours for the taking, so choose thoughtfully and carefully, those which quicken your pulse and inspire your imagination. Each season there are specific colors touted as the hottest shades. I encourage you to use these as a guideline for what you can bring into your wardrobe to make small tweaks that bring it current. But please, if these shades do not flatter your personal coloring, don’t wear them. Instead, find an alternative in a similar shade that brings out your individual beauty and makes you shine! No one looks good when wearing the wrong colors, whether it’s the hottest hue or not. Are you ready to feel confident when it comes to getting dressed?
