Welcome back to The Portal Podcast where Britt Deanda sits down with style + self-confidence expert Chellie Carlson for a powerful conversation on identity, expansion, and the very real link between inner transformation and what you wear every day.
Chellie shares her journey from a farm girl with a fashion degree to spending 20 years fitting women in their most vulnerable moments… to launching her own business two weeks before COVID, investing in herself even when it felt terrifying, and ultimately stepping into rooms (and client contracts) she never imagined, including signing NDAs and styling ultra-high-net-worth clients.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Chellie’s astrology + Human Design (Sagittarius sun on the winter solstice cusp, Scorpio rising, Aquarius moon; 2/4 Emotional Generator)
- The mindset shifts that changed everything (self-worth, coaching, masterminds, “no plan B” energy)
- How environment can catapult expansion (Chicago → Los Angeles + the identity upgrade that came with it)
- The truth about overconsumption, closet clutter, and “comfort identity” clothes
- The 3-step Sacred Style transformation:
- Closet Edit (releasing old versions of you)
- Sourcing + Shop Day (trying on your next identity)
- Tailoring (making everything fit like it was made for you)
- Nervous system safety + visibility: how clothes can help you feel safe enough to be seen
- Outfit repeating, habit stacking, and why getting dressed is one of the most underrated self-leadership rituals
- Chellie’s membership Style Society (for women building functional, elevated style with support + accountability)
One line you’ll remember: “Get your hot ass dressed today.”
(And yes… she challenges you to do it for 30 days and watch your life shift.)
