In today's podcast, meet Gretchen: Gretchen is one of my in-person styling clients. When she and I first started working on her style and image, she thought it was just a surface issue. She she *thought* just needed some "new clothes." As we started working together, I discovered the issue was much deeper than just not having enough clothing in her closet or having items that fit/flattered her figure (which side note, there usually is a deeper issue that becomes a limiting belief). The...

Are you having a bonkers winter where you are at, my dear? I am going on day 3 this week, day 7 total, of being snowed in - we seriously haven't been able to get our cars (even my husband's truck) out of our road because of snow drifts for miles.  It may sound crazy, especially if you live on a road that the city plows, but out in the sticks for us country bumpkins, it is just another day in the frozen tundra. Just the other night in order to get home, we had to take a snowmobile to our...

Don’t give up, give back!  With the Thanksgiving season and holidays right around the corner, the consumerism is all around us. It can be an easy time to spiral into a state of overwhelm, hustle and bustle, and even the constant need to put things off until the “holidays are over” and wait until life “settle down.”  Are you there already? Stressed about what to give as the perfect gift, or what to buy? Well in today’s podcast, I am actually talking about ways to GIVE that don’t include a...

I have been in hiding. Hiding from myself, never truly looking in the mirror, and using eyewear and glasses to hide from the world.  In today's episode, listen to how I spent almost 30 years of my life feeling so unattractive, less than worthy, and utterly debilitated by my own self-consciousness - constantly telling myself I wasn't beautiful and only seeing my flaws.

Have you ever set a goal, and then failed to reach it? Rather than looking internally for where you fell short, have you then started to place the blame on others, telling yourself it isn't your fault that "x,y, or z" didn't come to fruition?   Okay, we would all be lying if we denied the above.   We have all had an instance where it was much easier to blame others for our own failures. In today's episode, Deidrafound herself blaming others for her own failures. Although it felt easier at...

Even though Deidra has overcome her battle with insomnia, she still has occasions where she just simply doesn't sleep. Have you ever been there?    Rather than sulk and wallow in self-pity (which she has been there multiple times), Deidra decided to switch gears and start her day with gratitude. After refocusing, she was able to rearrange her day in order to put in the big rocks that really matter, and let the little things go.   Listen in for some amazing tools and resources that have...

Yep, that is the title of today's episode, but you have to listen in to hear why!   Deidra had a realization that the insecurities she has in herself, are the SAME attributes she dislikes in others.   Is there someone in your life that has traits you don't see eye-to-eye with, or things that bother you about them?    By focusing on the negative traits in others, it doesn't make our light shine brighter. In fact, those same qualities are probably the negative, limiting beliefs than run...
