Have you ever noticed how on the days you don't feel great in what you're wearing… you're just a little quieter?

You still show up. You still do the thing. But you're not quite as sharp, as bold, or as expressive as you know you can be. You don't raise your hand as fast. You don't hit "post" as confidently. You don't walk into the room like, "Yep. I belong here."

And what's wild is — we almost never connect that back to our clothes. We tell ourselves we're just tired… distracted… not in the mood… "off" today. But what if your style is playing a much bigger role than you think?

That's what we're talking about today — not fashion trends or shopping lists — but the subtle ways your style might be quietly holding you back… and exactly what to do about it.

You're probably hearing a lot of "New Year, new you" messaging right now. And if that's making you feel pressured to get your style together at lightning speed, I want you to pause — before you start ransacking your wardrobe.

Because if 2026 is going to be the year you finally feel confident in your clothes, it's not going to happen because you bought better pieces, tried harder, or followed more trends.

Your style doesn't get better when you rush into change. It gets better when you slow down long enough to get clear.

Today, I'm sharing the three things to pause and do right now — before you shop and before you try to reinvent yourself — so your wardrobe feels lighter, more cohesive, and more like you next year.

THIS is how you make 2026 your most stylish year yet.

Merry Christmas, my friend! I wanted to keep today's episode simple. Not only because I'm not feeling 100% as you may hear in my voice, but because in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I think we could all use a little break. So today, there's no teaching, no fixing, no pressure to set plans or goals — just a moment to pause together.

I've been thinking a lot about how hard we can be on our closets, how quickly frustration shows up when we look at what we own and feel like it should be better by now. But our closets usually reflect our lives, and most of us have been navigating a lot. So today feels like a good day to acknowledge that what we've worn has likely been doing exactly what it needed to do for the season we were in.

Even if you're excited to change things up in the new year — and I am too! — there's value in appreciating what's already supported you along the way. And that's what this conversation is going to be all about…

78 – What I Learned From My 38-Year Struggle with Contentment

As I was reflecting on this year — on the coaching calls, the email exchanges, the closets I've seen, the breakthroughs I've watched happen — I realized something powerful. I don't just have the opportunity to work with people on their style. I get a front-row seat to pick up on the patterns.

And when you work with hundreds of women across different seasons of life, various budgets, body types, personalities… you start to see what actually moves the needle across the board… and what really doesn't.

Today, I want to walk you through five style shifts that have changed EVERYTHING for my clients and me this year. These are perspective upgrades — the kinds of shifts that quietly change how you get dressed, how confident you feel, and how much mental energy your wardrobe takes up in your day. They're powerful and empowering and I want you to benefit from all that we've learned this year as well.

So let's discuss a handful of mindset swaps that will not only transform your confidence, but how you think about your style from here on out!

If you had told me when I recorded episode number one of HER Style Podcast that we'd get here — celebrating 300 episodes and nearly half a million downloads — I honestly don't know if I would've believed you.

Back then, it was just me, a microphone, a big passion for helping women feel confident in what they wear… and a lot of hope that someone, somewhere, would press play. And now? Here we are. It's you and me, friend.

So today's episode feels really special — because this milestone isn't just mine. It truly belongs to you. The woman listening on her walk, in the car, while getting ready in the morning… this show wouldn't be anything without you choosing to spend your time here and making this what it is.

Significant milestones like these call for something extra special. So we're going to take a little walk down memory lane, I'm going to reveal the top episodes and what they've taught me, what I would change now looking back, and of course, in typical HER Style fashion, we have a very exciting giveaway with some absolutely incredible prizes you're going to want to get your hands on!

Stick around to celebrate 300 episodes, almost 500,000 downloads, and a whole lot of style insights right after this…

If you've ever wondered what actually happens inside my group coaching calls — what women really ask, how specific the advice gets, and what it sounds like when we take your everyday style struggles and turn them into clear, doable next steps — today's episode is going to give you a front-row seat.

Because this is a live Q&A segment pulled straight from a real HER Style Collective coaching call. We're talking about the kinds of questions that pop up when you're standing in your closet, scrolling your phone, or hovering over the "checkout" button… Like how to actually stop impulse shopping, how to avoid outfit repetition, defining your personal style, and whether you can wear pure white in a way that still looks flattering even if it's technically not your "best" color.

This is the kind of personalized, nuanced guidance you don't get from a trend report or a quick tip on Instagram. It's coaching that helps you think differently about your wardrobe, so getting dressed feels easier, smarter, and more aligned with your unique life and goals.

If you want in-depth coaching from me just like this every single week, you can join us inside HER Style Collective today at herstylellc.com/collective. And for now, enjoy this behind-the-scenes peek at what's waiting for you inside…

Whether you realize it or not, your style is speaking for you before you ever say a word.

It communicates confidence, competence, creativity, warmth, leadership — whatever energy you're putting out into the world — and it does it instantly.

In today's episode, we're going to talk about how to make sure your style is actually saying what you want it to say. We'll cover how style forms your personal brand, why it's one of the most powerful leadership tools you have, and what it looks like to show up with clarity, consistency, and cohesion so that you're leading with authority — beautifully, effortlessly, and completely on your own terms. If you're ready to elevate the impression you make everywhere you go… then let's get into it.

Today, we're talking about something almost every woman struggles with but rarely stops to question: Where are you actually shopping… and is it still serving you?

If getting dressed feels boring, your wardrobe feels outdated, or you keep leaving stores and websites feeling disappointed, chances are it's not because you don't know how to shop. It's because you've been shopping the same 2–3 places forever — even though your body, lifestyle, tastes, and goals have changed.

So today, I'm sharing the women's clothing stores I'm loving right now, PLUS the exact method I use to help my clients (and myself!) find brands that actually work for them. By the end of this episode, you're going to know how to discover your new favorite brands — the ones that fit your body, your lifestyle, your budget, and your personal aesthetic so much better than the default stores you've been relying on.
