Here’s the thing: helping people clean out their closets and find the pieces to fill in their wardrobes is just the entry point. It’s where we start on the journey to self-acceptance, self-love, and self-care.
It’s about showing up in the world the way you want to show up, not in what your mom thinks you should wear. It’s about letting go of the clothes that fit two years ago because you are who you are today and don’t need to squeeze back into a past self. It’s about realizing that you don’t need to buy the thing in the ad to be worthy.
If you’re new around here, I’m on a mission to help women stop wasting time and energy on getting dressed because they’re trying to conform into a way of dressing or buying that not only doesn’t work for them, but has actually been making them feel bad about themselves.
I got here because of years of experimentation and frustration in figuring out my own wardrobe. After buying hundreds of items I didn’t need or didn’t like and years of feeling like I didn’t measure up, and didn’t have the “right” thing, I finally paid attention to my inner voice. I listened when it was screaming that it was uncomfortable, and started only wearing the things that made it sigh in relief.
Listening to myself about clothes led to me listening to myself about how I wanted to live.
Listening to myself helped me finally be honest about the work I wanted to do. Listening to myself has helped me accept my changing body through aging and growing and shrinking to grow two humans. Listening to and trusting myself has allowed me to let go of all the things I bought because surely I could “make it work” and helped me learn when I can walk away from buying more of those things. I still have to work hard to hear myself through the noise. But I practiced by listening to myself about what to wear.
When I work with women, I’m able to help them quiet the noise of outside messages so that they can also hear what their inner voice has been trying to tell them. We start with figuring out what feels right to put on their bodies, and it always leads to something else a little unexpected.
Can I give you styling tips, closet organization tips, shopping tips? Sure. And I will. But if you choose to stick around here, you need to know it’s about more than the clothes.
