When Overwhelm is Present: Leading Through Change, Burnout & Breakthroughs What if the growth you dreamed of is finally here, but it's arriving as burnout, resistance, and overwhelming transition? In this episode of the Business of Apparel, we unpack what real leadership looks like when everything shifts at once. We're talking about navigating intense change, both personally and professionally, as the CEO of a growing apparel business. From team burnout and shifting client dynamics to personal therapy breakthroughs and a major life move, Rachel shares how overwhelm can sneak in even during seasons of success. But more importantly, she reframes that overwhelm as a signal is not an identity. In this episode, you'll hear: - Leading through business transitions without losing your team - Burnout signals and how to spot them in yourself and your staff - Managing rapid business growth alongside personal life changes - How to frame stress without identifying with it - Balancing honesty, boundaries, and leadership responsibility Join The Board here: https://www.thebusinessofapparel.com/the-board Sign up for the Secrets Behind Billion-Dollar Apparel Brands FREE Course here!

Celebrity stylist and creator Maeve Reilly - the brains behind the iconic looks from Hailey Bieber, Megan Fox, and Eva Longoria - joins me on the day her new podcast launches to talk about her career journey, the styling industry, and the most personal styling project of her life: rebuilding her wardrobe after losing everything in the LA wildfires.

Like probably most of you, my 20s was a wild roller coaster of unhinged fashion choices. I kicked off my 20s Gossip Girl style - wearing peplum skirts and heels to my classes at NYU (in 40 degree weather, mind you). I entered my mid-20s as a sneakerhead with a collection that should have probably landed me somewhere on Complex, and then also survived pandemic fashion. Now at 30, my focus is laser sharp on investing in pieces that will last a lifetime and I feel more like myself than ever. In today's episode, I talk through the most impactful style learnings from my last decade that are helping me thrive in this new one. Love the show? Follow us and leave a review!
