Have you noticed your style preferences shifting over the years?

Most people worry when their signature style starts to change, thinking it means they never had one to begin with. But here's what I've learned through both personal experience and working with clients: your signature style should evolve as you grow and mature as a person.

In this episode, I'm sharing five legitimate reasons your authentic style naturally shifts throughout your life, from personality development to energy changes to major life transitions. The key is knowing when evolution is authentic versus when you're chasing trends or other people's opinions.

Listen to learn when your signature style should change and when it shouldn't.

What if the way you dress could change everything? Not because it makes you look better, but because it removes the friction that keeps you distracted and self-conscious.

In this episode, I'm challenging the idea that personal style is frivolous. When you understand your authentic style, you stop thinking about what you're wearing and start focusing on what actually matters: the people you're with, the work you're doing, the impact you want to make.

Listen to discover why personal style isn't a luxury, it's essential.

What if discovering your personal style could start with something joyful instead of something stressful? In today's episode, I'm sharing the story of how I inverted the traditional style process—putting seeing beauty at the very beginning instead of starting with body type rules and expert formulas.

Last week in Episode 107, I shared what my mentor Carla Mathis taught me: what you love aesthetically is what looks like you. This week, I'm telling you how I took that wisdom and created The Aesthetic Mirror—a process that helps women discover their style by seeing beauty in what they're naturally drawn to.  

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The divine epiphany that led me to invert the process

• What happened when I tried this approach for the first time

• The story of a client who was so excited she told my daughter at the mall

• Why seeing beauty through group reflection is so powerful

• How The Aesthetic Mirror works and who it's for

Core insight: Most people think you need expert analysis before you can trust your style choices, but actually seeing beauty in your own aesthetic preferences is the anchor for authentic style.

What if your individual style isn't hidden in your closet or your color season, but in the images that take your breath away?

In today's episode, I'm sharing wisdom from my mentor, Carla Mathis, who discovered through decades of client work that what people love aesthetically is what looks like them.

Carla wrote The Triumph of Individual Style, teaching how to use artistic principles in getting dressed. But what set her apart was her "visual favorites" method—clients brought images from art, nature, and lifestyle that moved them, and Carla could read both the mood and the technical details to guide their personal style.

I trained with Carla from 2012-2014, earning my certification in style and color. The style training alone was four times the volume of the color training. I worked alongside her as an assistant and apprentice, learning not just technical skills but how to truly see women and honor their unique aesthetic.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why aesthetic preference connects to individual style

• How the "visual favorites" method works

• What Carla understood that most stylists miss

• How this planted the seed for The Aesthetic Mirror (coming in Episode 108)

Key insight: Your style confusion isn't because you don't know something you are supposed to know. It's because you've been taught to ignore your own aesthetic wisdom in favor of expert formulas.

Next week: How I took Carla's insight and inverted the entire process, creating The Aesthetic Mirror—a way to discover your individual style that starts with beauty instead of rules.

Do you have a budget for your clothes?

Most style advice assumes the problem is overspending: closets overflowing with unworn items, tags still on. But when I polled my LinkedIn network, 86% said they don't buy enough clothes and wear things too long. In networking conversations, easily half the women I talk with budget exactly zero dollars for their own wardrobes.

Here's what generational theory reveals: Each generation absorbed specific messages about when it's "appropriate" to invest in appearance.

🔸Baby Boomers swung between Depression-era thrift and consumer abundance without strategy.

🔸Gen X learned to keep our needs small, which Dave Ramsey confirmed by literally erasing the clothing line item from the budget.

🔸Millennials inherited that underinvestment and added layers of ethical consumption anxiety.

In this episode, I'm connecting Strauss & Howe's generational theory to why we struggle so much with realistic wardrobe budgeting. Plus, I'll share actual numbers that make sense for different income levels. Spoiler: $100-200 per month isn't extravagant—it's sustainable.

I've been thinking about why the same outfit can feel completely right in one setting but totally wrong in another. Then I came across Hannah Louise Poston's video on art composition, and suddenly everything clicked.

This one artistic principle - foreground and background - explains so much about how we experience our clothing in different environments.

In this episode, I'm sharing what this means for your wardrobe choices across seasons, times of day, and indoor vs. outdoor settings. Understanding art composition changes how you think about getting dressed.

Many people collect style labels hoping one will finally click. You get typed as a Spring, then a Dramatic Classic, then a Type 4 - and you're still not sure what to wear on Tuesday morning. Here's what's missing: those labels don't teach you how to navigate your own decisions.

In this episode, I'm sharing the difference between being given a style category and creating your own style navigation system. It's the same principle that makes personality typing either limiting or life-changing - and it completely transforms how you approach getting dressed. If you've tried multiple style systems and still feel stuck, this episode will show you a different way forward.

What if I told you that not being your true self could be costing you over $1 million during your lifetime? Most people think the only cost of hiding who they really are is feeling a bit uncomfortable or inauthentic. But the real price tag includes everything from health costs and lost career opportunities to missed relationships and the ripple effect on everyone around you.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the shocking financial reality of what happens when you don't show up as yourself - and why this goes far beyond just your wardrobe choices. This isn't about perfection; it's about the compound cost of playing small and hiding your unique gifts from the world.
