In this episode, I sat down with Kaitlyn Steward, a personal stylist and the founder of Hue & You Image Consulting, to talk about something that goes so much deeper than clothes—how style is directly connected to our sense of identity, self-worth, and how we show up in the world.Kaitlyn shared how being a big sister to four younger sisters helped shape her gift for helping others express themselves through style. We talked about the emotional layers of clothing, the difference between personal styling and image consulting, and why asking “How do you want people to feel when they're around you?” can completely shift how you get dressed and carry yourself.This conversation left me reflecting on my own relationship with style and reminded me that fashion isn't about following trends—it's about aligning with the version of you that feels most real.In this episode, we explore:Kaitlyn's journey into personal styling and image consultingThe emotional power of style and why it mattersHow clothing can be a form of self-expression, safety, and confidenceWhat it really means to wear your truthThe deeper questions that guide personal presence and authenticityConnect with Kaitlyn: Follow her on Instagram: @hueandyou.ic Website: www.hueandyouic.comConnect With Christina Guzmánwww.instagram.com/selflovetonicpodwww.selflovetonicpodcast.comchristina@selflovetonic.com

In this episode of My Simplified Life, Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith, Michelle shares her candid reflections from her trip to the L.A. Times Festival of Books — from the chaos of traveling as moms to the unexpected empowerment found in spicy romance novels. They dive into real talk about managing expectations, navigating the pressure of influencer culture, and the importance of honoring your own season of life. Through laughter and honesty, Michelle and Stephanie remind listeners that personal growth doesn't have to look like anyone else's. You don't need to have it all figured out — you just need to stay true to your own path. What We're Talking About... Traveling as a parent can be challenging but rewarding. Spicy romance novels empower women to vocalize their desires. Managing expectations is crucial for personal well-being. Influencer culture can create unrealistic standards. It's important to own your choices and space in life. Everyone's journey is unique; comparison can be harmful. Embrace your season and the changes it brings. Self-improvement is a journey, not a destination. Stay true to yourself and your values.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Festival Anticipation 03:41 Experiencing the LA Times Festival of Books 06:37 Connecting with Authors and Panels 09:47 The Spicy Romance Genre 12:32 Empowerment Through Romance 15:35 Diverse Voices in Literature 18:40 Closing Thoughts and Future Reads 20:12 Exploring New Reads and Author Discoveries 23:07 Reflections on Book Festivals and Networking 26:00 Navigating Family Dynamics and Travel Challenges 29:07 Balancing Work and Family Life 32:16 Managing Health and Commitments 35:09 The Pressure of Expectations and Influencer Culture 38:14 Finding Personal Peace and Realistic Goals 41:12 The Reality of Self-Help and Personal Growth 44:09 Embracing Authenticity in Life and Work

In this episode, I sit down with the incredibly talented Adèle Odette, and we go deep into the magic that happens when you're truly seen—not just by others, but by yourself.Adèle shares her journey from the structure of law to the soul of photography, and how this pivot became a path to deeper purpose. We talk about the sacred power of visual identity—not in the filtered, curated sense—but in capturing your essence, your truth, your becoming.We explore how a thoughtfully planned photoshoot can be so much more than just “content creation.” It can be a mirror. A portal. A reclamation. Especially when it comes to boudoir photography, where Adèle creates the kind of safe, sacred space where women can shed the layers, drop the armour, and come home to themselves.Of course, we also unpack what's happening in the wider space—how AI is impacting the creator economy, why authenticity in branding isn't just a trend (it's the foundation), and how human design can guide us to build businesses that actually feel good.This conversation is for the woman ready to reintroduce herself to herself.To stand in her story.To build a brand rooted in truth, not performance.If you've been craving depth, alignment, and the kind of empowerment that comes from within—not from external validation—this episode will land.Ready to be seen?I've got you._______________________________________________Connect with meClick here to work with Adele https://www.byadelephotography.com/Click here to read about our brand shoot https://www.byadelephotography.com/elaine-kellys-personal-branding-photoshoot-embodying-leadership-power-and-elegance-in-mallorca/Click here to book a connection call and discuss the Brand Your Brilliance Package https://www.essentiallyelaine.com/connection-callClick here to get your Human Design Blueprint https://www.essentiallyelaine.com/human-design-foundational-blueprint_______________________________________________This podcast is for educational purposes only.

Join us for a discussion about building business relationships that last. Greg Wasserman is an expert connector and relationship builder. One of my favorite parts of the interview was his system for building relationships with people he wants to connect with. You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. Highlights from the interview: 1. Relationship-Building System He explains his system for building relationships, which centers around using his calendar and contact information to consistently reach out and connect with people, such as sending birthday wishes. He emphasizes the value of this simple yet powerful system in establishing trust and staying top-of-mind. 2. The Importance of Empathy and Supporting Employees He and Karl discuss how leaders often struggle to build genuine connections with their employees, focusing too much on results rather than understanding their team's needs and challenges. They highlight the importance of empathy, creating supportive systems, and prioritizing the well-being of employees to foster a positive company culture. 3. Embracing Authenticity and Openness  He shares a valuable lesson he has learned from past leaders - the importance of being authentic and embracing one's unique personality, rather than trying to fit a certain mold. He emphasizes that by being true to oneself, leaders can attract the right people and build meaningful connections. Learn more about Greg Wasserman over on LinkedIn.
