  • 27. Unlocking Unshakeable Confidence: Why Knowing Your 'Why' Changes Everything
    Aug 20 2025

    Are you feeling confident on paper but shaky in real life?

    In this episode, I explore why true confidence is built on alignment.

    Discover how connecting with your deeper purpose and values creates lasting self-assurance that doesn't depend on external validation.

    Learn about the psychology of intrinsic motivation, how your style can reinforce your identity and get practical steps to uncover your personal "why."

    Plus, find out why that "nothing to wear" feeling might actually signal personal growth.

    I have created a free worksheet to help you identify your values and craft your own purpose statement for confidence that comes from within.

    Perfect for high-achieving women navigating leadership roles, life transitions or anyone ready to build authentic confidence grounded in purpose rather than performance.

  • 26. Style & Identity: How Dressing Authentically Builds Your Personal Brand and Lasting Confidence
    Aug 13 2025

    Do your clothes not feel like you anymore? Do you long for something more powerful to wear?

    In this episode, I talk about the powerful connection between your style, identity and personal brand.

    Discover why your wardrobe is either building your personal brand or sabotaging it (there's no room for neutral) and learn the psychology behind why aligned style creates effortless confidence and makes you unforgettable.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • The science of self-verification theory and how it impacts your personal brand
    • Why style misalignment creates confusion for both you AND your audience
    • The 3-step process to align your wardrobe with your evolving identity and brand goals
    • How to identify what's working against your personal brand message
    • A simple exercise to transform your style into your signature brand asset

    Perfect for you if:

    • You're stepping into a new role or level of leadership
    • Your wardrobe feels disconnected from your current goals
    • You want to stand out authentically in your industry
    • You're ready to build a personal brand that reflects the real you


    Join me as I blend findings from fashion psychology with personal branding strategy to help you dress like you, lead like you mean it and build a brand that's impossible to ignore.

    Wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear? This week, my very first guest has the solution you've beenlooking for.

    Meet Julia Dietmar, a former Silicon Valley software engineer turned fashion tech entrepreneur, who's on a mission to democratise personal styling and make sustainable fashion accessible to everyone. After working at major companies like Walmart and Yahoo Julia combined her technical expertise with her passion for retail and sustainability to create Open Wardrobe, an AI-powered app that's transforming how people interact with their wardrobes.

She also opens up about her own transformation from someone who bought new pieces weekly to someone who rarely shops but feels more creative and confident than ever.


    Whether you're a busy parent looking to streamline yourmorning routine, someone interested in reducing your environmental impact or just wanting to feel more confident and creative with your personal style, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and inspiring ideas.
