What if the colors you wear every morning are saying something about your energy that you've never stopped to hear?
In this episode of Woman on the Rise, personal stylist and master color analyst Christie breaks down the profound connection between the colors in your wardrobe and your chakra system; the ancient energy centers that govern how you experience your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual life.
This isn't just color theory. This is one of the most deeply personal and transformative frameworks Christie has ever shared — including a story about the color she avoided for almost a decade, and what she now understands that avoidance was really about.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why color is energy — and how each color you wear is broadcasting a specific frequency that affects your body, mind, and spirit
- A full breakdown of all 7 chakra colors and what wearing, or avoiding, each one might be revealing about your energy right now
- Why black is an energetically protective color and what it means when it becomes your daily default
- The emotional significance of green as the heart chakra color and Christie's personal story about avoiding it for nearly 10 years
- What the colors absent from your wardrobe are telling you about where your energy wants to open up
- How color analysis connects to this energetic framework — and why your personal palette is just the beginning of the conversation
This episode is for the woman who knows there's more to color than what looks good — and is ready to discover what her wardrobe is really saying about her soul.
What does your wardrobe color story reveal about you? This episode is going to open something up.

How to find your personal style and build a wardrobe that actually fits your life — this is the episode that finally makes it click.
If you have ever stood in front of a wardrobe full of clothes and still felt like nothing was right, the problem was never your taste. It was the absence of a direction — a real style vision built around your actual life, not someone else's aesthetic or a capsule wardrobe formula that has nothing to do with your Tuesday.
In this episode, Christie Ressel breaks down:
- The one exercise that reveals exactly why your wardrobe does not feel like you, and it starts with writing down your week
- How to map your real life (work, errands, gym, kids, date nights, friends, all of it) to understand what your wardrobe actually needs to do
- Why most women have a wardrobe built for the occasions that happen twice a year, and nothing elevated for the life that is most of their days
- How to take that same exercise into your future life so your wardrobe starts calling forward who you are becoming
- The neuroscience of why your brain cannot build a coherent wardrobe without a clear direction (the RAS, and why this changes everything)
- This is the style tip you have never been given: before you shop, before you edit, before you do anything else; write down your life.
The complete Style Vision framework — including the life audit, the anticipation exercise, and the wardrobe direction guide — lives inside Rise Through Style. Join us here.
What if your money mindset has been showing up in your wardrobe this whole time — and you never knew it? In this episode, Christie Ressel reveals five rich rituals that will transform how you shop, what you wear, and what you believe you deserve. If you have ever talked yourself out of something you loved, bought cheap out of guilt, or told yourself you will invest in yourself when you finally arrive somewhere — this episode was made for you.
In this episode:
- The real reason your closet is full, and you still have nothing to wear — and what it actually says about your relationship with money
- How to finally stop talking yourself out of the things you love and start shopping from a place of genuine self-trust
- Why the woman waiting to invest in herself until she loses the weight is sending herself a message that will follow her no matter where she arrives
- The money beliefs you inherited before you could question them — and the exact questions that help you choose a new story
- Why the environments you put yourself in are quietly shaping your standard — and the simple shift that starts changing everything
This episode will change how you see your wardrobe, your spending habits, and yourself.

How to manifest with your wardrobe: the science of intentional dressing, law of attraction style, enclothed cognition, and the halo effect explained. Your wardrobe is a manifestation tool, and most women have no idea they're already holding this kind of power every single morning.
In this episode of Woman on the Rise, personal stylist and image consultant Christie Ressel breaks down the science AND the energetics behind wardrobe manifestation and why what you wear is either calling in your next level or quietly keeping you anchored to who you used to be.
This goes beyond the basics of the law of attraction. We're talking enclothed cognition — the research-backed psychology of how clothing literally changes your brain and your performance. The halo effect; why dressing with intention causes others to attribute intelligence, confidence, and trustworthiness to you automatically, and why well-groomed women earn up to 22% more in the workforce. And the deeply personal truth that who you believe you are is what you allow yourself to wear — every single day.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- The Northwestern University experiment proved that the same clothes, different meaning, cand ompletely different cognitive outcomes
- How the halo effect works in your favour and why your style is both a feel-good AND a strategic tool
- Why who you believe you are is what you allow yourself to wear — and how your closet is reinforcing that belief daily
- The gap between your current closet and your future self's wardrobe — and how to close it intentionally
- 5 practical style shifts that will immediately improve your manifestations
- How your RAS uses your clothing as a real-time signal to move you toward the life you're calling in
This is for the woman doing the inner work and ready to let her outer world catch up.
You are already the woman you're becoming. It's time to dress like it.

You have a closet full of clothes. So why does getting dressed still feel hard?
If you have ever stood there in the morning feeling like nothing fits, nothing works, or nothing feels like you anymore, this episode is going to hit. Because the problem is almost never about what you own. It is about the rules you are using, or not using, to make decisions about your wardrobe and yourself.
In this episode, Christie Ressel breaks down 10 rules to live by in your closet and why every single one of them is an identity rule, not a fashion rule. These are the rules that change how you show up, how you feel walking into a room, and how you relate to the woman you are becoming.
You will learn:
- Why your wardrobe might be dressing the woman you used to be instead of who you are stepping into
- How to build a wardrobe with intention so you stop buying things that never get worn
- The real reason you feel like you have nothing to wear even when your closet is full
- How to use personal style as a confidence tool, not just an aesthetic one
- Why comfort and shrinking are not the same thing, and how to tell the difference
- The shift that makes getting dressed feel energizing instead of exhausting
This is not about trends. This is not about capsule wardrobes or rules about what to wear with what. This is about using your wardrobe to raise your standards, declare who you are, and dress for the woman you are actively becoming.
If you are an ambitious woman who knows your style is connected to your confidence and you are ready to do something about it, this one is for you.

- The powerful belief that the version of you that you admire already exists within you, and how to close the gap by acting like her today
- How your closet is a mirror of what you believe about yourself, not just what you own (wardrobe psychology that will shift your self-worth)

These aren't affirmations you repeat hoping they'll work — these are proven personal development principles and transformational beliefs that will shift how you think, dress, and move through the world. This is essential listening for women's empowerment, self improvement, and building unshakeable self confidence.

Why do so many ambitious women feel muted, washed out, or invisible—even when they're well-dressed and confident?
The answer isn't about style, effort, or taste. It's about colour.
In this episode, Christie reveals the hidden psychology, biology, and energetics of color—and why wearing the wrong palette quietly erodes confidence, drains your energy, and keeps you playing small without you even realizing it.
You'll discover:
- Why black isn't always "slimming" (and what it's actually doing to your face and energy)
- The biological reason certain colours make you look tired, aged, or heavy—even when nothing is technically wrong
- How colour affects first impressions within 90 seconds (and why up to 90% of snap judgments are influenced by color alone)
- Why the average woman only wears 20% of her wardrobe—and how color misalignment is the hidden culprit
- Why women naturally embrace color as they step into their power (and what that shift reveals about confidence)
- How guessing with color costs you thousands in unworn clothes, wasted time, and lost confidence
- Why color analysis is the foundation of an effortless wardrobe—not a luxury add-on
- The energetic truth about color and why certain shades drain you while others lift you
Whether you're a woman who wants to feel radiant and visible again, or a beauty and style professional looking to create deeper client trust and transformational results, this episode will fundamentally shift how you see color.
Perfect for:
- Women who feel disconnected from their wardrobe and want to feel confident getting dressed

Reinvention isn't about becoming someone new — it's about releasing the version of you that no longer fits.
This episode explores the tools that actually support reinvention; not resolutions or goal lists, but the subtle, everyday shifts that change how you think, act, and show up in your life. We're talking about identity, habits, environment, and style — and how these elements quietly shape your confidence, energy, and direction.
We explore the invisible choices that quietly shape your confidence, your energy, and your results; from what you tolerate, to how you dress, to whether your daily habits support the life you say you want.
Inside the episode, we unpack:
- The mindset shift that changes your results faster than goal-setting ever will
- A simple way to tell if your daily actions actually match the future you want
- How your clothing influences confidence, focus, and personal power (often without you realizing it)
- Why consistency — not intensity — is what creates lasting transformation
- The role your environment plays in either reinforcing your old identity or supporting your next one
- Why growth always feels uncomfortable, awkward, or "cringe" before it feels aligned
- How learning, curiosity, and expansion are essential to feeling alive again
If you've been craving a fresh chapter — not a dramatic overhaul, but a deeper alignment with who you're becoming — this episode will help you rethink reinvention and begin from a more powerful place.

If you’ve ever bought something because it looked good on someone else—only to feel totally “off” when you wore it—this episode is for you. In the final episode of The Style Disconnect series, Christie Ressel uncovers the subtle way so many women silence their personal style: by constantly seeking inspiration and second-guessing their own instincts. This quiet disconnection from self-expression is keeping high-achieving women stuck in cycles of outfit confusion, overthinking, and style sameness—when they’re meant to be showing up with confidence, clarity, and presence. In this episode, Christie breaks down:
5 signs you’re stuck in the style copycat trap - How to recognize when you’re outsourcing your taste - Why the “safe choice” is often what’s keeping you invisible - What it really means to dress from personal power - The mindset shift that builds magnetic, unmistakable style If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t know what my style is anymore”—this is your starting point. You don’t need another style formula. You need to reconnect with the woman behind the wardrobe. Ready to create a true personal style that makes you feel magnetic? Join Rise Through Style now.

You keep saying you’ll buy new clothes when you lose the weight. When you feel more confident. When your body is “back to normal.”
But what if that belief is the very thing keeping you stuck and delaying your growth?
In this episode of Woman On The Rise, I’m diving into the quiet, almost automatic way so many women delay their self-expression—telling themselves they have to earn the right to feel stylish. It’s subtle. It’s common. And it’s deeply disempowering.
Whether your closet is filled with old sizes, pieces you plan to “shrink into,” or outfits that no longer reflect who you are, this episode will help you shift into something far more powerful: dressing for your now body—and becoming the woman you’re already becoming.
In this episode, we’ll unpack:
- Why style isn’t a reward, it’s a resource
- How delaying your wardrobe upgrade delays your growth
- The emotional toll of holding onto “goal clothes”
- What happens when self-expression becomes size-dependent
- The identity shift that unlocks confidence in your current body
If you’re tired of waiting to feel amazing, this episode will remind you: You don’t need to change your body to rise—you just need to reclaim your presence.

You walk into your closet, see hangers full of clothing—and still feel like you have nothing to wear.
Sound familiar?
In this episode of Woman On The Rise, style expert and mentor Christie Ressel uncovers the real reason stylish, successful women feel disconnected from their wardrobes—despite having all the “right” pieces.
This isn’t about fashion rules, trends, or capsule wardrobes. It’s about the subtle, soul-level style disconnect that happens when your wardrobe no longer reflects the woman you’ve become—or the one you’re rising into.
✨ Inside the first episode of this 3-part series, Christie reveals:
- Why your wardrobe might be keeping you stuck in a former version of yourself
- The emotional toll of wearing clothes that no longer reflect your energy
- How overthinking, people-pleasing, and "playing it safe" show up in your style
- What happens when you delay investing in your style until you “lose weight”
- The one mindset shift that turns getting dressed from a chore into a form of self-connection
If you’re high-achieving, personal-growth-minded, and craving a wardrobe that feels like a mirror of who you really are—this episode will feel like the missing piece.
Because it’s not just about having something to wear. It’s about feeling like you when you wear it.
This episode is for you if:
- You’ve outgrown your current style and don’t know what comes next
- You find yourself defaulting to the same 3 tops on repeat
- You’ve told yourself you’ll start caring about style when you lose the weight
- You’re tired of looking polished on the outside but disconnected on the inside

Feeling like you can't get ahead in your styling business can be a frustrating and overwhelming experience that will leave you exhausted. Many of the personal stylists I've worked with over the years have echoed how they feel they're on a hamster wheel they can't seem to escape and that no matter how hard they work, there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.

Do you uphold high standards for yourself? It’s one of the questions I often ask my community inside Rise Through Style.
I love high standards—some people may call them high maintenance, but to me, they show a level of care for yourself, your style, and your business that continuously sets you on a path that aligns with your truth. It shows that you know yourself and not only what you want but also what you deserve; that’s powerful.
Perhaps one of the reasons that I love it the most is that your high standards for yourself can also highlight when you may be wobbling in your power or beginning to negotiate outside of what you know your future self would want.
I recently had a shopping experience that highlighted the power of high standards. I wanted to share some of the lessons and ah-ha's that I took away from it.

It only takes 7 seconds to form a first impression – we’ve all heard it.
We’ve also all heard about ‘dressing for success,’ 'dressing for the job you want, not the job you have,' and many others that speak to levelling up.
But what does that even mean?
One of the things I have discussed time and time again with major banks, schools, and corporations over the years is the levels of dress, showing people how to dress appropriately for the room they enter and the presence and perception they want to create.
Today, we're going to break down one of the level's of dress, Business Casual so you can enter the room with confidence and success anytime you need to dress that way.

Today, we will be chatting about all things hair when it comes to colour analysis. I get so many questions from my students and women online when it comes to hair and how it influences our colouring as well as our colour analysis results - so let's dive in!
Now, before I jump into some of the common questions, let's first discuss some solid principles to keep in mind:
- Your natural hair colour will always be in line with your colour palette. What grows out of your head is always the best colour for you and will harmonize with your colour results; they will not compete.
- The last principle is the same for when we grey/white.
- Just because you change your hair colour doesn't change your colour analysis result.
- Your hair colour will be found in your palette. Why? Because in order for a palette to harmonize with you, you and it have to have the same colour characteristics. You're mirroring your biology in colours.
Questions will examine:
- Can blondes be winters?
- Where does black hair fall?
- Can redheads be cool-toned?
- What if I have dark hair?
- What happens when our hair changes colour?

How to handle someone if they don't like the colour palette assigned to them. Does this happen in colour analysis? The answer is yes. Though not always, there are instances where you may have your colours done, or be draping someone yourself and they are unhappy with the end result.
How do I know this? I experienced this first hand, AND I've had clients who went through it over the years. I'm going to speak to both the stylist and the client in this episode so you know how to handle this if the situation arises.

Ever wake up and with a to-do list a mile long, goals in the waiting, and yet feel like you don’t have the head space to allow for it, or your energy is off? You may want to curl up in a ball to watch your favourite show and let the day slip away because you aren’t feeling it. Or perhaps, things are happening in your life that feel challenging, uphill, or stressful to deal with.
It's tough to show up on hard days. This is a question I get asked when coaching my clients ; “how to I deal with them?”
Today, we’re going to discuss how to handle tough days while also honouring yourself in the process in the latest podcast episode.

You can do hard things without needing to be high-vibe
-
Success is littered with challenges. It’s your job to turn that into $$ or have them create lessons to jump from in a beautiful way.
-
Get some rest or change your scenery.
-
Remember who the F you are.

How we show up each day says a lot about who we believe ourselves to BE.
Every action we take and every word we speak either leads us in a direction that supports us or ultimately detracts from it.
While we cannot monitor ourselves 100% of the time, it’s good to become aware of what we’re regularly doing because it speaks volumes about how we view ourselves. And how we view ourselves is always reaffirmed in our actions, thoughts, and language daily. We always reaffirm our beliefs about ourselves and prove them true in how we show up.
This is why identity work and being mindful of how we show up is so impactful. Small shifts can have massive impacts on our lives and what we experience.
Let's talk about it more on today's episode.

The energetics of colour (podcast).
Ever wonder where to start when working on your style? There are so many things to learn about ourselves! Today, Christie Ressel discusses the BEST place to begin when creating a magnetic style for yourself; through colour analysis.

The energetics of colour (podcast).
Does knowing your colours limit your style? (check out the video here)
Reasons why colour analysis is the best foundation for your style:
- Gives you direction when shopping - no overwhelming options from all of the colour selections.
- Makes you glow 24/7 (ever looked at your partner and thought they were radiant?)- this gets to be your natural state - effortlessly glowing.
- No more hair or makeup mishaps that make your teeth look yellow or like your hair is sitting like a wig.
- Gives you an IT factor and edge because you are enhancing your natural colouring.
- You can break the rules with grace by using colours as a tool. I wear my palette 95% of the time but go rogue when I feel called to with intention.
- From a vibrational standpoint, it elevates your energy and tells you where you are aligned or blocked energetically.
- Everything mixes and matches in your closet; no more colour-pairing drama!
Feeling stressed about what to wear, how to create looks, how to feel connected to your style or that it reflects who you are? So many women want to feel elevated when they get dressed and feel energized after they've put their looks together.
There is a straightforward way to make that happen, it's being intentional, and yes, it's a game changer regarding your style.
-
Learn about yourself.
-
Purchase natural fibres as much as possible.
-
Be mindful of what triggers you to buy things unintentionally.
-
Know what you're striving for.
-
Ask yourself if it's helping you create the energy you desire.
If you want to create a wardrobe that elevates who you are, helps you feel energized during the day, and flatters your shape, so you’re reinforcing a healthy body image for yourself, I'd love to have you inside Rise Through Style. Here, we help you step into a style that allows you to confidently get dressed and create different looks you love with ease while also designing and helping you step into the woman you are becoming.

Have you ever gone through seasons in your closet where you seemed to adopt or crave certain colours more than others?
Perhaps one minute it seemed that all you wanted was pink and then the next season, you suddenly felt a calling to wear more blue.

Success, you want it, but perhaps it’s currently not your reality in your image consulting or personal styling business.

Are you a stylist with large aspirations for your business, but perhaps the clients and money are not ushering their way over to you with as much ease and flow as you were hoping?
I hear online all of the time how a former stylist left the industry because she wasn’t making any money or just making enough to scrape by but was working around the clock.
That’s not how it’s meant to be.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be divinely compensated for your gifts, have an overflow of money, clients, and the fulfillment of running your heart-centered styling business? YES! It gets to be that way.
In today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing why you may not be making money as a stylist and what you can do about it. These were pitfalls I did when beginning my career, and once I released them, my income jumped (I now pinch myself that I’ve generated well over $1 million in sales as I stepped into being a Style CEO).

Have you ever experienced stagnant energy in life? Feeling capped by where you are or what you’re capable of? Or perhaps, you’ve experienced a stale feeling in your closet – endlessly wanting inspiration to strike for a new outfit, but instead, crying out, “I have nothing to wear!”
This is so common, and there is a reason you may feel this.
Evolution – you crave it; in life and style. But, things simply cannot remain as they were, or you can (and do) become bored.
While trying something new is often at the forefront of change, one important event that is just as important but not often discussed; is the power of release.
You must release the old to usher in the new (energy, style, job, etc.).
I’m discussing this in today’s podcast episode.

Have you ever wondered why some women tend to have so much fun in their closets? And yet, despite that, you seem to feel frustrated? Or maybe you wondered why some people seem to throw outfits together like it's nothing effortlessly. And yet, for some reason, you find yourself lacking the inspiration. This is so common for many of my clients and is something that we talk about often.
Today, I want to talk about the art of play. This is something that escapes a lot of women when it comes to their closet, and yet I genuinely believe it is one of the most important things that you can do for yourself when it comes to your style.

Have you ever wanted to do something, but held yourself back from fear?
This is a very real thing that many women, myself included, have been through over the years. I’ve been through this torment both in my style and business.
It can be scary, can’t it? Wanting something, getting the nudge to go after something, but not having any guarantee it will work out. It can often leave us in a place of indecision or leaving us feeling like perhaps we should wait for the ‘right time’ to give it a try. Today, we're discussing how to overcome this fear and decide to go for it.

Are you supporting your style growth or killing it?
When we’re exploring what we desire for ourselves, it can be easy to get caught up in what we believe we’re doing wrong.
Wrong cuts.
Wrong fabrics.
Wrong colours.
Wrong clothing.
When you’re feeling vulnerable this way, it can be tempting to look elsewhere for style inspiration and then get quickly caught up in mind drama around how everyone else seems to be doing it “right” and you seemed to have missed the memo.
Ever feel that way? I know I did.
My wallet was on fire during that time as I tried to purchase more in hopes that I would stumble upon something that ‘clicked’ with me.
What I’ve come to realize though is that I wasn’t supporting my style growth. In fact, I was deep in this major style killer that is all too common among women — and may be something you’re currently experiencing, too. 😬
I’m talking about it this common fashion killer on the podcast today and how to triumph over it to support yourself in your style journey that allows you to blossom!

The reason you haven’t nailed your dream style
- You’re in your head. Your mind is creating chaos.
- Telling you stories of, “I’m not good enough”
- “I’m not at my goal weight”
- “People are going to judge”
- “Who am I to wear this?”
You KNOW how you want to dress. How you would walk, talk and act. You can see her. Feel her.
Your mind creating negative chatter and you believing it is why it hasn’t come around yet.
So let me ask you this,
What is it costing you to not step into a style you love?
Let's dive into how to gain more clarity and take action in a direction that makes you feel good. <3

Ever wonder what makes some women so successful? What they do in their spare time or maybe even how their day unfolds? The beautiful thing about success is that it leaves clues. There are certain habits that all successful people, or in this case, women, have done time and time again that serve them and show up as results in their businesses.
Join Rise Through Style: https://www.fashiontranslated.com/rise
Join me on Instagram: @ChristieRessel
Let's cover the habits of success women today.
- Working on their mindset daily. Successful/Entrepreneurs people know that mindset and how we view the world is everything. In order to be successful, you have to view the world filled with possibility and opportunity. So, pick up personal development books, listen to podcasts, self-coach, get a mentor, or join a mastermind to help shift your mindset to one of success.
- Successful entrepreneurs prioritize their self-care and health. They know that energy is their currency. Energy can only be created by fuelling their body properly, giving back to themselves with daily self-care, and movement. Want high energy (both vibrationally and output)? Take the time to create it.
- Dress as your future success. If you get dressed, you feel better. When you dress as the future version of yourself, you step into their energy. You're helping yourself embody the actions, mentality and mindset of that person. Go ahead, try it for 7 days and tell me you don't feel a shift!
- Successful women are surrounded by like-minded people. They carefully curate the people around them. Debby downers are a drain on energy and think small. You want big picture people around you to see more of what is possible! If you don't have that in your immediate circle, see what other communities you can join online or nearby that can help you.
- Successful people create boundaries. You'll never be able to push the needle forward by serving everyone else before yourself. Setting boundaries between work and play, when people can connect with you, or when you tackle certain projects shows a healthy respect for your desires, self, and shows how people can treat you.
How to create a high-vibe look. If you want to look expensive or like the best version of yourself, then these tips will help you do just that. A high-vibe look is one that is curated with intention. It's one that helps you elevate your energy when you get dressed in the morning because it mirrors who you are becoming and reminds you of the direction you're going.
- Reflects respect for the situation you’re in (i.e. read the room).
- Is the best quality you can afford (knowing more doesn’t equal a more abundant mindset. Less stuff, better stuff. Abundance doesn’t come from accumulating. That is a sate of mind. Better quality creates more polish, we feel refined, it carries a different vibration)
- Fit. This create a positive narrative to our body image and also enhances our look.
- Reflects the woman you are becoming. Our style is a direct reflection of how we feel about ourselves. Does yours show an image of possibilities? Of abundance? Of the woman you are becoming? Embodiment happens before the results.

Some things to keep in mind:
- Dress for your audience – if you’re speaking to a high-level customer or woman, don’t dress like your in college. That shows them you don’t understand what’s required at their level. Money recognizes money.
- Fit is everything. Learn what works for you and invest in pieces that make you look sharp.
- Wear pieces that make you feel good. Even in the most nerve wracking situations, clothing can act like it’s own super hero costume – giving you confidence and security as you pursue your goals.
- Be authentic. This is not about wearing things that don’t resonate, but also recognize that fir every audience and profession, a level of dress is required that will speak volumes.

One thing that a lot of you struggle with when it comes to your style is disconnect -- that missing piece in your closet that makes you feel next-level when you get dressed in the morning.
You may get dressed in the morning and really like your outfit, but when you really take a better look in the mirror, you don't feel like you're nailing the vibe you were hoping for.
Sound familiar?
This can often lead us to feeling like we're struggling with our style or like we need to shop in order to find a new piece that will bring back that special feeling we once had with our wardrobes.
Or will it?
Embodiment in our clothing is a really way to close the gap and make us feel more purposeful in our closets and style. It will help us get excited about what we see in the mirror and feel the possibilities ahead of us! That's truly the power of style. But, we have to intentionally call that in, which is what we're exploring today in the latest Rise Through Style podcast episode.

Want to make more money in your business, but don't know how? There are often 3 culprits that cause this problem for us and end up holding us back from moving forward in our business (and lives). These 3 things can be sneaky and sometimes creep up on us without us even realizing what's happened!
They totally did with me and so I'm sharing with all of you as well incase you find this helpful, too.
- Imposter Syndrome. Ever feel like someone is going to think your a fraud and call you out? It's crazy talk, right? It's not true. Yet, every entrepreneur (especially women) have experienced it, myself included. It's so maddening! It has us questioning everything about ourselves and leaves us in a feeling of unworthiness. This low vibe ends up having us creating and sharing less. We aren't serving our people because we're worried someone will say exactly what we've been telling ourselves: that we're not good enough. It's a crazy cycle and one that needs to end because that internal narrative is just not true (and it is all in our minds).
- Selling Too Much. Is that a thing? When your money mindset is poor and you don't provide any value, yes. But, I know you give value and help -- so why would you feel bad about an exchange of money in order to help people more deeply? Online feeds move so fast nowadays. It's not possible to assume that EVERYONE has seen what you posted on any given day. Some may see things days or even weeks later -- if at all. Your people who love you and your vibe will want to see everything you create. Those that don't can binge your free content.
- Overthinking your prices. OMG, I did this for years. I kept thinking that if I charged what I wanted, no one would buy from me. This lead me down a route of undercharging, working exhausting hours, and extending the life of my side hustle. Not the vibe. The thing I didn't understand is that undercharging doesn't equal more sales. Ever. It just ends up leaving you resentful about what you're doing and burnt out. That kind of energy isn't sustainable or one you want to play in. When you charge the value of what you provide your client and feel good about it, the reward for both parties is equal and leads to a much happier result.

I’m here to provide you with guidance and inspiration to help you rise to your highest and best through style.
Creating a business you love is something that so many hear of, and few actually acquire. We start off as passionate entrepreneurs with a calling on our hearts and then often end up feeling stressed out all of the time, lose our fire in our grind, and question on sanity as it can often feel like we are spinning our wheels.
I felt that way for YEARS.
I remember beginning my styling career, pouring my heart into a website I could barely afford at the time and then sitting in front of my laptop and thinking, “now what?”
It’s hard not knowing what information to follow, or how to not feel overwhelmed in business. There are so many resources and marketing strategies out there that it’s mind boggling. I was stressed to the max when I started – and felt like I had no one to turn to advice.
Fast forward to now, I’ve built a multi six figure brand that serves women world-wide, allows others to rise and allows me to-do what I love in style while helping others. And the best part is that is feels fun, flowing, and aligned to who I am.
But, I definitely didn’t always feel that way, and my road to success was lined with many learning opportunities. So, I’m sharing my top 3 things to keep in mind in creating a business you love.
- Drop the “should’s” and focus on what makes you feel good. Part of creating a business you love is doing things you LOVE doing. Easy, right? Yet, so many entrepreneurs get stuck in doing things they see others are doing, or that they think they should do in order to be successful. I was one of them. Corporate vs. Style. When I dropped the stuff I didn’t want to and allowed myself to only do the things that lite me up – that passion spilled out and others became excited to work with me.
- Know your worth. For many creatives and entrepreneurs – we undercharge. This is so dangerous because we not only end up being underpaid and barely able to manage bills, but that in turn makes us resentful of our clients and our work! You may end up questioning whether it’s worth continuing. It’s know your worth and the value you are providing – and charge for it. You get to be divinely compensated for what you do, have clients that appreciate you and are willing to pay. End of story.
- Put yourself out there. This is really scary, I know, but necessary. If you don’t put yourself out there for people to learn about your business, it can’t make money. Plain and simple. People need to be able to find you and connect with you in order to pay you and have you serve them.
Want to deep dive about this further? I’m talking about this on today’s podcast episode.
If you are ready to build your own Aligned Empire and jump into a feel good business that lights you up everyday, I’d love to have you in my 6 week program! We’re going to deep dive into how to create a successful business you love and how I did this very thing without the need for ads or doing things I didn’t want to do. Would love you have you join. https://www.fashiontranslated.com/the-aligned-empire
We’re approaching the New Year, which is so exciting! The journal junkie in me is beyond pumped to write out more goals, aspirations, and visions for the New Year.
But, I also like to take time and reflect on the year past and ask myself what worked and what didn’t. I like to be mindful of where my successes were, but also where I could have improved, and what I need to let go of.
Now, of course, you can do this anytime, it doesn’t have to be the NY, but there’s something about the new year that brings this magical, fresh energy, and I’m here for it.
Grab a piece of paper and pen, because I’m going to give you some journaling prompts that I think are powerful to consider as we approach our New Year.
- What was I proud of this year?
- What was I disappointed with (as our disappointment can highlight areas for growth)?
- What do I want more of in my life?
- What will help me move into my next phase powerfully?
- What did I love wearing this year? How did it make me feel
- What made me feel less then? How did it make me feel?
- What energy do I want to embody in my style and life for the new year?
Now, I through those closet questions in because I think a cleansing of sorts is really powerful to go through.. You always hear about the spring/fall closet clean-outs, but what about an energetic clearing of what you’re leaving behind? Our clothing is a physical representation of where we’re at and I think it’s incredible powerful to shed what no longer serves us.
And no matter where you are in your journey, no matter what road blocks you’ve encountered, where your style is at, remember – you get to refresh at any time. You always get to decide your vibe and re-calibrate to your desires as often as you like.
If you need any help with this, my Rise Through Style Society is available where we have live monthly trainings, Q&A’s, 3 programs for you to watch and absorb anytime you want to up-level your style and access to all of my past trainings as well.
Wishing you all of the love, success, happiness and abundance for 2021.

A lot of the time, we can hold ourselves back in our style, business and life, because we often worry about seeking the approval of others.
The little girl inside of us is often making sure we “fit in” and are loved and accepted by our peers – so often time that can come in the form of self sabotage in making sure that our aesthetic, tastes and desire don’t seem ‘too far out there’ to others.
This is something that comes up a lot in my classes. Women share with me that their partners, friends, or family have made comments about what they wear – and instantly go from a high energy, feel good place, to one of disappointment and vulnerable.
I’m going to talk about how to embrace getting dressed for yourself and why it’s important you choose yourself over others in style (and life).
- You will feel powerful when you magnify your essence in your clothing.
- It’s okay that your style isn’t like everyone else’s – that’s what style is all about. Remember that. People commenting doesn’t mean anything about YOU – it’s about them. Hubby is different than me
- It’s okay to set-up boundaries and tell people it’s not okay to comment. This increases you feeling empowered and embracing YOU.

Ever had a low-vibe day where your to-do list runs a mile long but all you want to-do is curl-up in a ball and watch Netflix?

Are you “shoulding” yourself into buying things?
I’ve definitely been there.
A new trend or look suddenly emerges and it seems that EVERYONE is styling their wardrobes a certain way. So much so, that you suddenly feel dated because you aren’t.
Anyone else?
The problem with this is that we now feel the need to buy MORE to keep up with what everyone else is doing.
But what happens if that’s not your vibe? Vision? Brand image?
I’m breaking down how to break that cycle and stop 'shoulding' all over yourself when it comes to your image and closet.

In style and media, you will hear all of the time about the top rules to follow, things you should do, things you should not do, and what will make you look older. We’re constantly bombarded with information – so much so that it can be challenging to figure out where you fit into the mix.
What I’ve seen more and more of are women who desperately want a better style, but they’re so terrified to wear what they want because they might get it wrong. I'm showing you why you have to drop the rules in style in order to get more of what you want.

There’s one important thing you must do if you want to evolve your style.
Something that I know you know to-do, but you already dread and put off for ‘another time’ thinking it’s no big deal…or that it doesn’t impact much.
The closet purge.
Scary.
Infuriating.
Leaving you thinking you’ll have nothing left!
But, required.
Believe it or not, NOT doing it will hold you back.

So many people are frustrated with online shopping.
They get a high while browsing late night with a glass of wine (anyone else?) and scoping out all of the cute potential outfits they're dreaming of. You’re feeling this potential new vibe you want for your closet; only to be disappointed when the package arrives (which is like Christmas, right?), and it fits poorly and makes you feel like a sack of potatoes.
Then you have to deal with the returns, which is a pain because you don’t have time for it, and your total style bubble has burst. This leaves you to swear off online shopping because it just “doesn’t work for you”.
Am I right?
But here’s the thing: online shopping can be really easy. I’ve mastered it because I do it so often both for myself (cuz hey, I love a good shop too LOL), and for my clients. You know what? Things fit me and them like a glove almost ever single time. I'll be breaking down the top ways to crack this habit and get things feeling powerful again to online shop with success.

Feel like you're in a style rut? Like you've lost yourself somehow and can't figure out how to stop putting on leggings in the morning?
So many women tell me the same thing. This is where I come in. He-he.
I’m here to give you some tough love today and give you some reasons why you’ve in a style rut.
- Guilt. This is a big one. So many women experience guilt when thinking of taking time for themselves instead of looking after their kids, business, partner, friends, commitments, etc. They often look at their style as a frivolous thing that can come as an after thought. NO. Taking time to create a style that makes you feel cute and put together when you look in the mirror puts you in a higher vibration. It not only gives you time to give back to yourself so that you can feel good, but when you do, that higher energy you’re experiencing goes back ten fold to those around you. You’re happier, more productive, and filled with possibilities. If you’re a business owner – think about how feeling good, productive, and filled with possibilities – how that energy could transform your day and the clients you attract in your business? That’s a big thing to pay attention to.
- You hide behind the excuse that leggings are easy to slip on. Now this may hurt, but this excuse is one that comes up all of the time and I gotta tell you, it’s lazy. It takes the same amount of effort to put your legs into a pair of leggings, as it does pants (actually, maybe even MORE effort as some of those babies are tight!). Being that that’s the case, it really comes down to a choice you’re making. You’re still deciding that the leggings are more worth it to you. It’s easier to complain about wearing the leggings than actually doing something about them. But the thing is, if you want a different result, you have to-do something different. Nothing changes if nothing changes. No one is going to drag your butt to the closet in the morning and make you change into a more up-levelled outfit that communicates something better. You have to choose that for yourself. So if you aren’t, why are you holding yourself back? Because this type of behaviour can be a form of self sabotage. It can really take from your self-worth and create some negative self-talk because you don’t like what you see the in the mirror. You style isn’t communicating what a beautiful bad-ass you are. Let’s do something about that.
- You buy without using what you’ve got. Now, hear me out. I love a good shopping moment. I love it so much in-fact that I made it a career LOL! But, if it’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that you need to be strategic about what you put into your closet and also get creative with the things that are there. Women tell me all the time that they have “nothing to wear” and it’s one of the things I love proving people wrong with. Your closet is always chalk filled with outfit potential if you just spend a little time. Yes, it takes effort, yes it takes time (which I know we can feel short on), but the payback is worth it. You will end the ridiculous cycle of buying for the purpose of just wanting something “new” in your closet and switch to buying pieces that add value and more to your personal style. More outfit possibilities. My Jumpstart program is so good and helping you see what’s there – and helps you see that you don’t need a full makeover to up level your style. Sometimes you just need a fresh way of looking at things! So, my program gives you a really detailed workbook filled with things to journal on, and lots of strategies and exercises that will help you go through your closet. You also get 14 videos from me that are LIVE so you can ask me things along the way and be with like minded women looking to level up and get intentional.

There is something common women today all utter and it's one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves when it comes to our style: "I have nothing to wear."
Jumpstart Your Style: https://www.fashiontranslated.com/jumpstart-your-style
Join me on Instagram @ChristieRessel, YouTube, or Facebook.
- Too much “stuff” in the closet. You need to-do a good purge and inventory check on what’s there. If you have different sizes, times in your life, stuff you tell yourself you’ll wear again – you don’t have a true picture of what you’re actually working with.
- I have nothing to wear REALLY means, “I’m not inspired to wear anything” – time to get inspired! Watch movies with great fashion, blogs, videos, books. Etc. They will spark your interest and influence you to produce something you think is fun.
- You haven’t taken the time to experiment. This is the biggest culprit. It’s like we think our clothing will throw a new outfit at us in the morning, and if it doesn’t? We settle for the same combo we always wear. Then we get BORED. So we buy instead of get creative (not that buying is bad, I love a good shopping moment). But shopping doesn’t solve the problem because that new piece will eventually become stale and then we’re back to the drawing board. See what I’m saying? Spend some time getting creative. Match tops and bottoms together you never have or use colourful accessories to bring other colour combos together in your closet you’ve never thought of. My Jumpstart Your Style program is the PERFECT solution for those that need to shake up their closet. It gives you amazing journaling prompts, tutorials and exercises to show you how to crack open your closet AND create new outfits you love. PLUS, you see so many other women in the private community for this program doing the same thing and processing these same exercises, so the inspiration and creativity is next level.
Take some time to play, be intentional and watch the outfit possibilities blossom.

One of the reasons I see women struggle with their style is because they don’t feel like they have their own spin.

How to get your own spin on style
- Get clear on your vision. This is true in business and style. A vision will help you cull through the mass amounts of stuff out there and help you curate a style you love. Get clear on what’s going to make you feel up-levelled and then do your pinning, image searches, etc.
- Ask for help. I’m a big advocate for investing in yourself to get you the results you’re after faster. Paying a professional, for anything, style, coaching, etc. will help you save time, money, frustration, body-image heart break, etc – and get you on a path you feel better about so much easier and with more ease. That’s why I love my personal style program so much because I help the students a long the way with their style. I’m there helping you tweak things on your own terms, answering your questions and providing guidance when you need it. I did the same thing with myself! I invested in my style way back and I still invest in myself with coaches to help guide me along a path that feels good and to get me to wear I’m going faster.
- Ask what would feel better. This may seem silly, but so many people say, “I like what I’m doing, but I feel like it’s missing something” – okay, so what do you feel it’s missing? Take some time and get honest with yourself. Jewellery? Bold lip? What would you rather see? That will create so much more clarity for you and help move the needle in a direction that feels good.
- Make it your own with small tweaks. Re-creating looks on Pinterest are all good so long as the image speaks to your vision and what you love about a style you want for yourself. Most people try and re-create images using the exact colour palette or pieces in their closet. Instead, ask what you like about the image and see what you have in your closet based on that. If an image has dainty jewellery in it, but you’re more of a bold jewellery kind of gal, rock those pieces! Is doesn’t have to be the same. If you try and only re-create what you see, you’ll forever feel like you aren’t creating an authentic spin on it that lifts you up and speaks to you.

One thing I’ve heard from clients frequently is how they often don’t wear pieces in their closet because they don’t have anywhere to wear them.
WHAT? Why buy something if you are only going to wear it once?

So, if you find yourself in this spot, here’s 5 tips to help you get over that rut:
- Ask yourself, what makes you think you aren’t worthy of being special and wearing this ANYDAY? This could unpack a lot, but I do think this is worth journaling on. Anytime we wear something we deem special, our energy is instantly shifted into a higher vibration that allows us to step into a beautiful place with our confidence and body-image. We’re communicating through our style that we are worthy. That we deserve to cloth our body in beautiful things during the day. Even if you’re sitting at home or running groceries. Of course you get to make yourself feel beautiful.
- What would your next level woman do? If you think about your future woman – the one who’s achieved her goals, made her millions, etc. How does she dress? What wold she embody in her style? Would she wear she special pieces? Of course. She knows it wold probably make her feel powerful, confident, and allow her to move in action with more confidence through her day. It’s good to check-in and ask how your highest and best self would do things.
- Adding “Special pieces” can realy elevate your image! As an example, let’s say you have a more evening piece. Silk blouse, glittering accessory. Adding that to even the most casual items instantly makes your outfit look cool. It looks more purposeful – and interesting because you are mixing levels of dress and mixing textures. Love it!
- IF you don’t wear it, you may no longer be interested in it by the time comes. Style represents who we are. Often, the reason we no longer like items in our closets is because we’ve evolved past them. They no longer represent who we are. So, with that in mind, if you hold onto a special piece for a long period of time without wear, you may NOT be interested in it when the time does come --- and then you’ll be in the same cycle as before. You’ll buy something special for the occasion you have – only to store it and repeat the same thing as last time. Sound familiar?

Fabrics
-
Fabrics play a bit role in up levelling your image.
- Ideally, you want to select fabrics that are not only a higher quality, but also compliment your body-shape.
- For example, draping, flowing fabrics works really well on women with curve. Why? The fabric cascades down the body really nicely. They follow the lines of the body and don’t compete. I show examples of this in my body-type course.
-
But, choosing a higher grade fabric also elevates your energy. There’s a metaphysical aspect to it. This is why I love elevated or designer brands – the quality is better.
-
This is a massive one. When you get something that fits your body well, you look more expensive. Period. End of story. Why? Cuz it looks like you’re wearing something custom for your body. When something fits you just right – you really stand out. I tell women, if you aren’t willing to alter a piece to make it fit you just right – WHY are you buying it? You’re wasting your money. I don’t care if it’s a thrift find or was $2. Is something a score at $2 because the quality is amazing? No? Then why are you buying it? Sometimes, a $2 shirt looks like a $2 shirt…and if the fit is off on-top of that….yikes.
-
Celebs on the red carpet look SO good, including the guys because things are custom done for them. Not that something needs to be expensive, but when the fit is really nailed, you look like a million dollars. Fit is also important cuz it makes your body-image and self talk flip to the positive. Ever wear something that fits you exactly the way you want? You strut. Smile. Feel confident. It’s worth it.
-
You need wardrobe basics in timeless cuts to elevate your look. Rather than the basic white tee you hear, I think it’s good to focus on business casual basics. Here me out; These hero's integrated into your closet, when mixed with dressy or casual items, really take things to the next level: trousers, wide-leg pants, blouses, blazer, heels, good bag, etc. Do it in a shot of colour to make it pop? Even better.
- Don't have grubby footwear. One way I’ve made myself more mindful of this is to invest in my shoes. Not only does it make me feel a little special to wear an investment shoe, but because I”ve spend more money on it, I take better care of it.

How-to take a big leap for yourself when it feels scary to start something new.
Note: A few days are left to join my online personal stylist training program!
- Be willing to be a beginner. It’s okay to look like you’re at your beginning. Why? Because even the most successful people had to start somewhere. They too had to start at the beginning. It’s all about putting one foot in-front of the other. Don’t compare your first step to someone’s 1000th. If you trip yourself up thinking that you should be where someone else is after 10 years in business, you need a reality check. Keep that as inspiration in your mind and as drive, but remember that everyone starts at different times. Doesn’t matter how old or young you are. If you have a burning desire in your heart, I believe it was given to you by the divine. You’re meant to do it. Just start. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Baby steps forward.
- Focus on your why. Why did you want to start? What lights you up? Who do you want to serve? Focus on THAT. That’s what’s important. All of the fears and negativity is just your mind trying to keep you safe. I tell my styling students to think about how people would be impacted if they didn’t learn about you? If you weren’t there to help them? How would that change their life? How much BETTER will their lives be from learning about you and having you help them? Stay in that lane.
- Write down why it will work. Our brains our messy and love to give us all sorts of stops – but what if things could and WILL work? It’s great to give your brain evidence to support your dreams. Write a list everyday if you need to. I do this. You could write that you’re passionate, you’re dedicated, you’ve got the skill set, you have a point of view that you know will help, etc. Anything and everything you can think of to challenge and flip the script.
- Dress to be the woman you are becoming. Embodiment is everything. Your brain will literally look at the way you are dressing as evidence that your goals and future are coming to fruition.
- Make a vision for yourself. Vision boards are so wonderful. Create one and keep that in-front of you every single day. Get in the feeling of your dreams already happening. See it. Taste it. That will help move you forward and help you focus on the bigger picture, not immediate fears that are trying to hold you back.

Tips to get started
-
Get training. This is what separates you from the pack. It's not just about dressing someone in the latest trendy look or putting together a cute outfit. It's about creating an authentic image that represents the individual, their shape, lifestyle, vision, and helping them step into the realm of possibilities.
-
Get ready to work. So many think this is a fun trip to the mall. Ugh, no. If you think that about your business, you'll get nowhere. That's the unsexy truth. You have to be ready to show up, put in time, energy and be consistent when getting started.
-
Come from a place of service. One of the privileges you get to have as a stylist is being a witness to someone's transformation. It's a beautiful. It's heart-warming. It's the good stuff. Always ask how you can go the extra mile or be of service and help to those you are working for. A simple thing, but lots of people ignore this step.
-
Get your name out there. In business, you have to make yourself visible. If people don't know you exist, they can't pay you. Period. You have to push yourself to find ways to talk to your ideal client so that you can help your business grow.
A MUST when levelling up your image? Commitment.
-
It’s a decision to show up for ourselves. A choice. There’s a really powerful energy that we send to ourselves and the universe when we decide to stick with a decision to be the best version of ourselves we can be.
-
Think of exercising. We may not always want to-do it, but you never regret the workout when you’ve done it. You actually feel pretty good. Why? Because you kept that promise to yourself. It products confidence in yourself.
-
Same with sticking to your style. If you try something only every so often, you’ll get watered-down results or NO results. You didn’t really try it. You didn’t commit. This is where women often feel stuck because they haven’t put the work in too feeling good and trying to figure out what makes them feel good in their closet. This continues to lead to poor shopping choices and low self-esteem and body image because what we see is not who we are.
-
You’re not always going to want to feel like it. That’s the unsexy truth. There will be days where style sometimes feels like work. You may be tired, busy, etc. However, one of the things I teach in my Vibe Up program is how to create some really killer outfit formulas based on your next-level woman and style vision that you can throw on because you know they work. It’s some easy go-to outfits that make you feel polished and cute, without sacrificing your commitment to yourself.
-
When you create a habit through commitment, what initially feels challenging or like work, eventually becomes second nature, even fun! Imagine enjoying your style? Feeling creative? Fun? An exercise in playing with all of who you are?

Style allows us to show all of the different sides to who we are: edgy, boss, romantic, boho, casual, vintage, androgynous, feminine, etc. You get to be all of those things.
- when we exercise that muscle, eventually, it becomes second nature

Carrie Bradshaw is #goals when it comes to style.The style is off beat, sexy, flirtatious, daring at times, and requires ownership of wearing what YOU want because it makes you feel good.Your personal style is not about the approval of others. Today, I'm sharing my CB experience and how it transformed my energy and mood -- and why you can do the same thing via style, too.

What is one of the biggest mistakes women make in business and style? Today we're going to explore the power of investing in yourself.

- You’re not sacrificing your sanity. Information from different free sources can create confusion. You hear too many things that don’t necessarily apply to you. So, you’re left with endless routes and possibilities and almost become crippled from not knowing where to turn next. Clarity creates confidence. Knowledge equals power.
- Investing in yourself creates confidence – you no longer feel lost. You have the information that applies to you to move forward powerfully and with intentional action. Buying the wrong things for your style, for example creates confusion, it prays on your body-image, which can filter into other avenues of your life. Bad body image can destroy relationships and how we show up in the world because we’re coming from such a low vibe.
- You’ve got skin in the game. You’re more committed to make change happen. I paid $15,000 for my very first coach. I was terrified because I didn’t have all of that money and I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it happen. But, because it was such a terrifying investment for me at the time, I figured it out and made it happen. It held me accountable and propelled me to get my butt in gear.
- You can’t ask for what you’ve never paid for. In business, you can’t ask for a fee you’ve never paid for yourself – it just doesn’t make any sense because you have no idea what that’s like for your customer, the energy, nothing. It’s a great way to up-level your energy and see what it’s like from the customer experience.
- You’re worthy of it. This ties into the first point, but a lot of people don’t think they are worth investing in. That’s bull. Everyone deserve to feel worthy and invest in themselves. It increases your confidence when you’re learning a new skill – whether style (cuz yes, that is a skill) or business related. Do mirror work. “I am worthy”

I’m going to share with you my top tips on how you can clarify yours, and why it’s so important.
- Gives you focus
Ever tried to re-decorate a space in your home? Sean and I have been going through this after our recent move last summer. But before buying, we put together a vision that we had for our home. We choose colours, a vibe, put together a mood board and then began sourcing pieces based on this. Makes sense, right? Yet, despite knowing that logic – most people never apply this to their closets. Basically what we’re doing is similar to going to the furniture store, buy the first things you see on sight, and bring it all home and expecting it to work well in your living room. Not going to happen. Your vision will help keep you focused on what you want when shopping or putting outfits together – taking the impulse out (hopefully) and having you put together outfits that are setting you up to feel good. - Keeps you feeling good
I always tell my clients that it’s not about the clothing, but how the clothing makes you feel. This is SO important. If you’re clothing doesn’t feel good, it will affect your body-image, impact your self-talk and overall make you feel like a sack of potatoes. Not the vibe we want. Instead, putting together outfits that are based on our vision, keeps us excited, elevated, and feel good during the day. This will influence our productivity, our confidence, and how we show up in our relationships. - Keeps you high-vibe with your eyes on your goals. When our style has us feeling elevated, you’re filled with energy that makes you focus on possibilities. You step into the bigger version of yourself because you’re feeling happier and feel like what you’re seeing in the mirror is an authentic representation of who you are; and who you’re becoming. How can you not feel excited about that? When we’re in this zone, it makes us want to pursue other avenues and goals that make us feel good. It helps boost our confidence enough so that we may chase that next big idea, or speak up at the next big meeting.
- Avoids shopping mistakes. Having a vision in mind that speaks to you (and a shopping list) will help you drop that sparkly top that caught your eye next time you go shopping and can help you drown out “advice” from peers.
So how do we find our vision?
- Get quiet. Find a spot in your home for 10-15 minutes. Bring a paper and pen (cuz, stationary nerd). Think about your dreams and goals right now. Maybe it’s career oriented, income oriented, body focused – whatever. Now, imagine that your goals have come true. I want you to call in how that feels. Really call in how it feels now that your goals have come to fruition and you’re living your dream. Now, think about who you are in that state. Think about that woman you’ve become to get to this point. What is she like? What does she embody? How does her day unfold? Now, let’s talk about her closet. What kind of things do you see her wearing? What lights her up? From here, write down any images or key words that you would use to describe her style. From here, now you can use those key words to create your physical version of that using images. It’s so exciting!
