Have you ever wondered if Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs applies to clothes?   In this episode, I break down the five levels of style psychology: Level 1: Not being naked (basic coverage) Level 2: Feeling relaxed (comfort-focused) Level 3: Affiliation and belonging (fitting in) Level 4: Looking put together (competence) Level 5: Authentic self-expression Most people get stuck at level 3, trying to fit in with their social group. Most people come to me wanting to look competent and professional. But deep inside, we all really want to look like ourselves. I share my personal story about dressing as a homeless person for a university project and why it was one of the worst days of my life. Plus, I give you a 10-point competency checklist to help you nail level 4 while moving toward authentic self-expression. Understanding the five levels of style psychology helps you move beyond just looking competent to truly expressing who you are. Download my Guide to Design Psychology.

Window installation may not instantly grab your attention, but for anyone involved in building or renovating, it's a critical aspect that cannot be neglected. Think about why we have windows: they connect our living spaces with the outside world, offering natural light, beautiful views, and essential ventilation. However, beyond these obvious reasons, there is a layer of complexity and science in window installation that is necessary to explore further.When it comes to window installation, the type of window is fundamentally essential. Each type has its nuances. It's these differences that require us to break down and approach each installation uniquely. Matt aptly noted during our latest podcast that while there are some industry standards, every project has nuance and a unique set of challenges.If you're navigating window installations—whether you're a seasoned builder or an enthusiastic DIYer, it's about more than just inserting glass into a gap. It's about strategising each move, considering the materials, and above all, applying a thoughtful blend of science and practicality to the process.

In the 92nd episode of WGI Unleashed, we're excited to introduce you to Jason Miholovitz, PLA, our Director of Landscape Architecture, who joins us from WGI's West Palm Beach Corporate Headquarters! With over 20 years of experience, Jason's deep passion for design and a thoughtful leadership style have helped shape WGI's national landscape architecture practice, and his story is just as inspiring as the spaces he helps create each and every day. From Sketches to Studios Like many, Jason's love for design started at an early age - Inspired by his high school drafting classes and a natural talent for drawing, he pursued the study of architecture at the University of Florida, where he ultimately refined his interests and discovered his passion for landscape architecture. After graduation, a job fair frisbee - and a well-timed beer koozie - led him to his first role within the industry.... And the rest, as they say, is history. The chance encounter sparked a 10-year career with his first firm, where he met his wife, built a foundation in public-sector work, and eventually launched his current career with WGI. Designing for Both People and Place Today, Jason leads five landscape architecture studios across the nation, each with its own unique identity and design approach. Under his guidance, the group blends the best of both worlds - public and private sector work - offering clients a depth of experience that they can't find elsewhere. From vibrant parks and public spaces to amenity-rich pool decks atop high-rises, Jason's portfolio of projects reflects his belief that landscape architecture is about more than aesthetics - it's about creating a sense of space that people can love. His favorite part of the career that has brought him so much? Visiting parks he's helped design and watching his son enjoy the very spaces he's helped bring to life. A Culture of Creativity and Trust And if you're wondering what keeps Jason inspired at WGI, that's simple.... It's the people - and the freedom to lead with trust. He's proud of the collaborative, cross-functional environment he's helped foster, where each studio operates like its own small business, giving team members room to grow, experiment, and shape their own paths. That same autonomy Jason values in his own role is what he now passes down to his team. It's a leadership philosophy rooted in respect, accountability, and empowering others to take creative risks. Life Outside the Office When not leading national design studios, Jason enjoys staying close to home with his wife and son. He's a hands-on DIYer, working on home projects and restoring classic cars - including a ‘69 Camaro passed down from his father. And while he's traded the college party scene for backyard soccer and family trips to Key West, Jason wouldn't have it any other way. Tune In This episode is filled with great stories—from childhood bike rides in South Florida to building a nationwide team of talented designers.

It started with a few innocent dog scratches. My dog Daisy was itching like crazy, and I began to wonder: could it be her food? One Google search later, I found myself tumbling headfirst into a raw dog food rabbit hole—complete with Facebook ads, blog articles, YouTube videos, and a subscription box I could not refuse. In just seven days, I went from “hmm, maybe I'll try something new” to full-blown raw food DIYer with a freezer full of meat and a meal plan I created myself. And I didn't just buy dog food—I bought into an identity shift. I wanted to become the kind of person who makes her own dog food.

"The movement in my wardrobe kind of translated to movement in my own life." This profound insight from a participant in my recent style workshop shows that wardrobe changes aren't just superficial adjustments, they can be catalysts for meaningful personal growth. In this episode, I explore how: Removing clothes that no longer feel authentic creates space for growth in all areas of life Choosing items that reflect your true self creates a virtuous cycle of authenticity Understanding your personality type can guide wardrobe choices that support your development journey The integration of your cognitive functions (like introverted/extraverted tendencies) can be expressed and supported through intentional style choices As we approach midlife, we naturally begin integrating previously underdeveloped aspects of our personality.

Put yourself first. We are bombarded with marketing messages; we're told we're not doing enough, we're not being enough, we're not pretty enough, thin enough, left enough, right enough. Pick a thing. When it's this loud out there, it's hard to remember the smallest voice in the room, which is you and your intuition.  Dr. Tiffany Smith is a trailblazing functional psychiatric nurse practitioner and founder of Aroma Functional Nutrition. She found her calling by helping her combat veteran husband recover from debilitating pain, PTSD, and other conditions. She witnessed the debilitating effects of the Western medicine approach and turned to functional medicine and nutrition to create a holistic approach to healing. Dr. Tiffany loves empowerment. As a self-proclaimed DIYer, she likes to take control. She became a nurse and eventually went back to school to do a Master's in Education, where she found herself working in a crisis unit for 55+ adults, and asked herself, why is there a revolving door in mental health? “Sometimes I just talk to people and be open, and in that conversation they're able to release and those symptoms can dissipate,” says Dr. Tiffany. “And in our [health] system, it's like, oh, you're sad. … You've been saying for two weeks you can't sleep, you have a loss of appetite. You're not remembering having an issue. Oh, you qualify for a major depressive disorder, not the human aspect that again, life is just beating you down and you were screaming for help.” Dr. Tiffany created her own practice to give that support and add wellness back into the business side of medicine and health. “So with treatment, let's start with first life navigation and where you are and what's really pressing on you,” says Dr. Tiffany, who says the next steps can include physical and physiological. Dr. Tiffany says when life has you by the throat, do what you can to step out of the situation. Find moments for you – even if it's just a few extra minutes in the bathroom to take a breath.  “Make sure you are on your schedule. Make sure you have that time for you. Identify those things that make you happy that bring you relief,” says Dr. Tiffany. “You're going to be able to remove a lot of the barriers that are inhibiting you from hearing yourself, and because you need to hear yourself to figure out how to get out the heck of the stuff, you're in, right? And all that noise prevents you from doing that.” Be fair to yourself. It's ok to say no. Look for opportunities to take the burden off of you.  “Pay attention to what you're putting on yourself, how you got there, and then start to be very, very protective with yourself and what you bring on, what you say, who you're around,” says Dr. Tiffany. “You first. Because if you aren't, well, if you aren't doing okay, how does that affect everything else? So you first.” You have to pause and pause frequently. If you're very stressed, you have to pause a lot. Dr. Tiffany says most people don't come to see a psychiatrist at the beginning of their symptoms; they come at the end when they're at their breaking point. “You remember you and who you are. Tell yourself the things you love about you. Surround yourself with people who tell you how awesome sauce you are, and believe them. Accept them. Take their word.” Connect with Dr. Tiffany Smith: https://www.wellness.vegas  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: How Your Nervous System Shapes Your Money Habits [https://sarahwalton.com/nervous-system-regulation] Overcome Societal Expectations of ‘You're Not Enough' [https://sarahwalton.com/societal-expectations-for-women/]  You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton   Thank you so much for listening.

In this episode, we're talking with Denise Parkes of The Crafty DIYer. Denise and I know each other well. She's a member of Launch Your Box, Scale Your Box, and my Elevate Mastermind. As one of my Mastermind Ladies, I get to see Denise in person 3 times a year! Her strength and the story of the last year in her business inspire me and the other members of our Mastermind. It will inspire you, too.  Denise is an artist and a crafter. She is passionate about teaching others to enjoy crafting. Denise serves mainly women over the age of 60 and, by going LIVE six days a week for a long time, had built up a devoted following.  When Denise learned about me and my annual Subscription Box Week, she joined right away. During that week, Denise got to know me and my teaching style as well as what she could expect inside Launch Your Box. Denise was convinced a subscription box was the right next step for her. She actually launched during Subscription Box Week (remember she already had a large audience) and got 120 subscribers!  Denise's subscription box grew quickly and soon she needed to rent warehouse space to handle inventory and fulfillment. But all was not well inside Denise's business. Denise and her business reside in Canada where shipping costs are prohibitive. She simply couldn't afford to ship to her largely US based subscribers, or even those in her own country. Shipping costs were eating up all of her profits.  Denise was also dealing with health issues and found herself stressed and unhappy. Her business in its current form was no longer serving her. She knew she still needed to make an income, but couldn't go on as she was.   But Denise is someone who gets back up and figures things out. And during our September 2023 Mastermind Retreat, she did just that. There is power in being in a room with other smart, like-minded businesswomen who want the best for you.  Denise realized the way forward was with printables – no shipping required! She'd had a super successful printable lead magnet in place to grow her list and further proved the viability of her idea by selling one-off printables. When she was able to get out of her warehouse lease, Denise felt able to start from scratch again… even though doing so was scary.  Starting from scratch for Denise meant “doing everything Sarah teaches.”  Building her list Driving traffic to her website Putting effective lead magnets out there  The Digital Print Clubhouse launch was a big success – 150 subscribers big. And it has continued to grow. Denise now has more than 400 subscribers and celebrated hitting 6-figures only 10 months after making this major pivot.  So what's different now?  Less stress More joy  Nothing to pack and ship More time and energy to create  Denise talks about the importance of being around women who support and understand her – like the ones found inside Launch Your Box. She also reminds us of the importance of not worrying about what anyone else thinks and resisting the urge to compare yourself to anyone else.  Pivoting was necessary for Denise's business to survive. And now she's not only surviving, she's thriving… and celebrating hitting six-figures in less than a year!  Join me for this episode as Denise and I talk about realizing when it's time to pivot, working through the fear, and coming out stronger… oh, and reaching six-figures in revenue in less than a year!  Find and follow Denise:  Crafty DIYer on Facebook  Crafty DIYer on Instagram Crafty DIYer Website Join me in all the places:   Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?
