What if the way you dress is silently costing you sales, clients, and credibility?

In this episode of the Happy Productive Podcast, Jennifer sits down with personal brand strategist and Prosperous Image founder Lee Hayward to talk about why your image is one of the most underused tools in your business—and how aligning your presence with your power can fuel serious growth.

This isn’t about fashion. It’s about identity, alignment, and energy. You’ll learn how to show up like the 7-figure version of yourself—before you get there—and why your image might be the very thing blocking your next breakthrough.

In this episode:

Why your image is repelling (or attracting) high-value clients

How to align your wardrobe with your future business, not your past self

What it really means to “dress for success” (hint: it’s not just about looks)

How to lead with confidence—even when your body, mindset, or business is in transition

Simple ways to uplevel your presence without sacrificing comfort or authenticity
