“It’s hard to dress a body you haven’t had before”

Today’s conversation focuses on embracing the PERSONAL in personal style. 

In this episode, I talk to Stephanie, a school counselor who also wears the multiple hats of small business owner, podcaster, mother, and coach struggling to find the time to feel at peace with her style and closet. 

During our chat, we discovered how creativity has been an important style theme throughout Stephanie’s journey and how she can return to her roots today and be creative within the boundaries of her work & current lifestyle. 

We also talk about finding pre-planning outfits helpful but restrictive, the importance of good closet staples, and giving yourself permission to experiment with style.
