With over 15 years in TV, film, print, and personal styling, Molly's charming down-to-earth approach and ability to dress all body types, set her apart. 

Today I’m chatting with Molly Rebuschatis. And she’s kind of amazing.

Many of her clients are successful businesswomen and men who need help curating the right wardrobe and putting together looks that work for them. Having worked in New York for years in the film industry as a costume designer, she is currently based in Santa Rosa, CA she does have a lot of clients with careers in Silicon Valley or San Francisco, but does remote work with her clients as well. Another thing to love about how Molly puts together looks is that she doesn't just shop high-end stores. You will often find her scouring the Nordstrom Rack or thrift stores.

Let’s talk about creative blocks. We all have them and we all experience them. They're actually normal—yes, a natural part of the creative process. But it doesn’t feel natural, does it? Sometimes, despite our shower brainstorming sessions, when we sit down to put ideas into action, we draw a blank. If you're feeling stuck, know that you're not alone. Today, I've shared strategies to help you navigate through those creative roadblocks, from taking breaks to shifting your perspective, trying something new, collaborating with others, seeking feedback, and nurturing a positive mindset of self-compassion.
