The Confidence Upgrade: Ripping the Plaster Off and Redefining Style with Colette Mason
Episode Overview
What happens when you decide to rip the plaster off and finally invest in the way you show up?
In this episode of A Styled Life, I’m joined by Colette Mason, an AI consultant, speaker and unapologetic rock music fan, who shares her journey through the Style Trailblazers Experience.
We chat about how she went from “cagoule by the lake” photos to creating a bold new personal brand that actually reflects who she is (band tees, statement boots and all).
It’s a fun, down-to-earth conversation about confidence, visibility and learning to trust experts, whether that’s in AI or personal style. Plus, we talk about sustainability, embracing your quirks, and why your wardrobe should feel like your personality, not a uniform.
Grab a coffee (or a G&T in Colette’s case!) and enjoy this brilliant chat about style, self-expression, and stepping out of your comfort zone.
