  • The Personal Style Fundamentals You Should Know
    Dec 2 2025

    How well do you really know your personal style? I'm talking beyond the surface-level stuff—like whether you gravitate toward black or prefer bright colors. In this episode, we're diving deeper into the often-overlooked foundation of great style: truly understanding yourself.

    The biggest style breakthroughs don't come from following trends or mastering complicated styling formulas. They come from paying attention to what actually works for you. Today, we're unpacking 10 essential things every woman should know about herself if she wants getting dressed to feel easier, more fun, and authentically hers.

    I hope this episode helps you shift your perspective on what "knowing your style" really means. This isn't about memorizing fashion rules or completely overhauling your wardrobe. It's about building that fundamental understanding of yourself—what you love wearing, what makes you feel confident, and what actually fits into your real life. When you have these answers, everything else falls into place naturally.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • The power of your "natural uniform"
    • The connection between style vocabulary and shopping success
    • Why style fundamentals are guides, not gospel
    • The "wear more of what works" principle
    • How to think of your style as choices, not commands

  • How to Finally Understand Your Body Shape
    Nov 18 2025

    If you've ever taken a body shape quiz only to feel more confused than when you started, you're not alone. Despite all the resources out there—quizzes, blog posts, entire businesses built around body types—understanding and dressing your shape remains the #1 challenge I hear from women.

    Today, I'm breaking down why traditional body shape labels like "apple," "pear," "hourglass," and "rectangle" aren't working for most of us. More importantly, I'm sharing a better way forward that doesn't require you to fit perfectly into a labeled box.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • The six major problems with traditional body shape labels
    • Why rectangles are the most underserved body shape, despite making up the largest percentage of women
    • The real reason I still use body shape labels
    • A practical three-element framework for understanding your unique body without any label at all
    • How to shift from asking "Can I wear that?" to "What will that do for me?"

    I hope this episode helps you realize that if labels and lists have never made style easier for you, it's not because your body is too unusual or too complicated—it's because the system itself is flawed.

    You don't need the perfect label to find clothes that make you feel amazing—you just need to understand your unique body and learn what clothes can do. And once you do, that knowledge is yours forever, regardless of how your body, lifestyle, or fashion trends change.

  • Understanding Proportion in Your Body and Your Outfits
    Nov 4 2025

    Let's talk about the topic that makes me geek out more than anything else in the style world: proportion. I know, I know—it doesn't sound exciting. But here's what I've learned after dressing thousands of women: you can have all the right pieces, follow all the rules, and still feel like your outfits don't work. The missing piece? Understanding proportion.

    This episode is packed with the kind of knowledge that actually makes a difference in how you look and feel in your clothes. We're diving deep into what proportion really means, why most women get it wrong, and how understanding this one concept can transform the way you get dressed every single day. We'll explore the two critical areas where proportion matters—your body and your outfits—and I'll give you homework that will help you start seeing yourself and your wardrobe in a completely different way.

    What you'll learn:

    • Why style is all about relationships, not rules.
    • The difference between short-waisted and short-torso (and why it matters).
    • How to use the golden ratio to create outfits that look polished instead of frumpy.
    • The volume distribution mistake that's making you look sloppy.
    • Why you can't always balance everything perfectly (and what to do about it).

    I hope this episode helps you stop thinking about style as a collection of unrelated pieces and measurements, and start seeing the whole picture instead. Once you understand how the parts relate to each other, you can manipulate those relationships to create balance—and that's where the real magic happens. If you struggle with feeling like your outfits don't quite come together, this might actually be the one thing that changes everything.
