Ever stand in front of a packed closet and still feel like you have nothing to wear? In this episode of INHABIT with Alessia Citro, wardrobe stylist and educator Conni Jespersen, founder of Art in the Find, reveals how to simplify your style, reduce decision fatigue, and rediscover confidence in what you wear. With over a decade of experience helping women build intentional wardrobes, Conni blends her background as a teacher with practical fashion strategy—showing that personal style isn’t about rules or trends, but about dressing in alignment with your life and energy.

From her signature “three outfit formulas for three activities” method to her now-viral In-N-Out vs. Cheesecake Factory closet analogy, Conni breaks down how to edit your wardrobe with ease, stop overbuying, and curate clothes that feel like trusted friends. She and Alessia also explore how your personal evolution is reflected in your style, why confidence matters more than labels, and how dressing with intention can shift your mindset.

Whether you’re a busy mom craving simplicity, a professional seeking effortless polish, or a woman ready to reconnect with her confidence, this episode will help you transform your closet—and how you feel in it—one outfit at a time.

Ever wondered why you keep reacting the same way, even when you know better? In this episode of INHABIT with Alessia Citro, Alessia sits down with Dr. Jennifer Bellingrodt—a licensed clinical psychologist, former Army psychologist, and author—to explore how family history, subconscious programming, and mindset shape our personal narratives . Together, they unpack generational trauma, personality disorders, and why Dr. Jen insists that “personality disorders are nothing other than information processing disorders”—a powerful reframe that offers hope and healing.

From grounding techniques like “name five things” to big shifts like “mind the gap” between perception and response, Dr. Jen shares practical strategies to calm emotional reactivity and rewire subconscious beliefs . The conversation dives into cognitive dissonance, negative automatic thoughts (NATs), and the surprising self-limiting belief of fear of greatness, which often holds high achievers back. Through vulnerable stories and real-world examples, this episode blends neuroscience, psychology, and lived wisdom into actionable tools for personal transformation.

Whether you’re a high-achieving woman seeking balance or someone navigating deep patterns you can’t explain, this episode provides clarity, compassion, and concrete steps to shift your narrative. Tune in and discover how to release limiting beliefs, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim your power.

She offers practical strategies for setting life-first priorities, crafting a business model that supports them, and finding community to lighten the load. Her tough-love reminder? You have zero control over outcomes, so focus on impact, alignment, and presence instead.
