Karol Markowicz sits down with Zachary Kussin, real estate editor at the New York Post, for a wide-ranging conversation about journalism, New York City real estate, personal style, resilience, and the value of embracing who you really are. Kussin shares the unlikely story of how a Craigslist job posting helped launch his journalism career, eventually leading him from The Real Deal to the New York Post. He explains what makes real estate reporting such a unique beat and how years of hard work, unexpected opportunities, and a little luck shaped his career. The conversation also turns personal as Kussin recounts losing nearly everything when a seven-alarm fire tore through his New York City apartment building. The experience gave him an opportunity to rebuild—not just his home, but a space that genuinely reflected his personality, travels, and lifelong love of antiques, vintage jewelry, fashion, and design. Karol and Zachary discuss growing more confident with age, finding your people, developing meaningful relationships, pursuing unconventional passions, and refusing to change yourself simply to fit other people's expectations. Kussin also shares his philosophy for living a happier life: embrace adventure, pursue what genuinely interests you, take chances even when you don't know the outcome, and have the confidence to be yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What If Your Personal Style Is Part of Your Identity?What if you didn't have to wait until you lost the weight, changed your body, or became your “future self” to start showing up as her?In this episode, I'm joined by costume designer and personal style expert Senna Shanti for a fascinating conversation about the connection between clothing, identity, confidence, and the way we see ourselves.We talk about why your wardrobe can be more than just a collection of clothes—it can become a tool for identity change.

Mindful Style, Real ConfidenceA teen pregnancy, an international move, immigration limbo, and a mental health breaking point are not the kind of milestones people put on a business plan, but they shaped Brenda Iris into the image consultant she is today. We talk through the real story behind Mindful Styling: what it takes to rebuild your sense of self when shame, scarcity, and survival have been running the show for years.Brenda shares what it was like to grow up between Mexico and the United States, learn English, and later face an immigration process that required her to leave the country for far longer than promised. We also unpack how “trust the process” becomes more than a slogan when your family is separated, paperwork gets lost, and your future feels out of your hands. Her perspective brings needed clarity to the human side of immigration, identity, and resilience.From there, the conversation turns to mental health, faith, and the turning point she calls her dark night of the soul. We get into therapy, prayer and meditation, and the moment she started asking a new question: who am I besides being a mom? That question becomes the spark for her personal styling work with high-achieving women, business owners, and leaders who look successful on paper but still feel stuck when they get dressed.If you've ever dressed to hide, tried to keep up with the Joneses, or felt imposter syndrome creep in, Brenda offers practical, grounding tools: dress for the woman you're becoming, stop defaulting to “comfort” that drains your confidence, and use clothing as a strategy to amplify your presence.

I love a good packing strategy. But sometimes, when you've traveled enough, you forget the little things—the questions you no longer think to ask and the lessons that have become second nature.After returning from Europe together, I loved hearing my niece Ashley reflect on her very first trip abroad. What was she so glad she packed? What never left the suitcase? What would she do differently next time? How did she approach shopping in Europe? And what surprised her most about the realities of international travel?Ashley had such thoughtful takeaways and learned so much from the experience that I knew you, as a listener, would enjoy hearing them, too. Whether you're planning your own European adventure or simply love a good post-trip debrief, this conversation is full of practical tips, honest reflections, and the kinds of observations that seasoned travelers often forget to mention.Episode Notes & Resources:Get the BU Style packing guide for Nat's packing tips. Submit style questions you'd like answered in a future Wear Who You Are episodeJoin BU Style Circle online membership for more of Natalie's style resources, live Q&As, and more.

What if the secret to great style isn't buying more—but buying with intention? Julia Berolzheimer built one of the internet's most beloved fashion platforms with Gal Meets Glam, but after becoming a mother, she began rethinking not just what she wore, but why she was buying it in the first place. Through her Substack Making Tradeoffs, she's helping women build wardrobes that reflect who they are—not just what's trending. Julia joins Molly and Emese to share her philosophy on personal style, why "effortless" fashion is a myth, and how putting a little more thought into getting dressed can completely change how you feel. She explains why she'd rather invest in one exceptional piece than a closet full of impulse buys, how she shops high and low, and the prompts she uses to help women rediscover the clothes they already own. Plus: the one-in, one-out hanger rule, why logos don't always equal quality, shopping the resale market, mixing black and navy (yes, absolutely), building confidence through personal style, and the AI-powered brand page tool, Coreli.ai, she created with her husband Thomas.

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda sits down with personal stylist Lizette Hendricks to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions women have about fashion: that clothing should fix their bodies. Lisette shares her philosophy of using style to honor a woman's natural features rather than hide or change them. Together, they explore body harmony, seasonal color analysis, style myths, wardrobe overwhelm, and the emotional connection many women have with clothing. Through practical advice and personal insight, this conversation invites women to stop chasing trends and start dressing in a way that reflects their authentic selves with confidence....CHAPTERS 00:00 Meet Lizette Hendricks 01:45 How Lizette Became a Personal Stylist 03:23 Why Traditional Fashion Advice Falls Short 05:11 Creating a Safe Space for Style 07:14 Body Harmony, Color, and Personal Style 11:15 Why Style Is About Authenticity 13:00 Stop Dressing to Fix Your Body 17:10 The Freedom of Dressing as Yourself 18:38 Understanding Body Types and Color Seasons 24:40 Common Style Myths Debunked 27:52 Simplifying Your Wardrobe with Confidence...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Lizette Andrea De La Cerda⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

Getting dressed every morning shouldn't feel like a problem to solve. But for a lot of women, it does. The same ten pieces on rotation, the Pinterest boards full of outfits that never translate, the pile on the floor before a night out. Today's guest is personal stylist Jamie Lewis, and this episode is everything you didn't know you needed to hear about style. What makes this conversation different is that Jamie isn't talking about trends or hauls or must-haves. She's talking about why style feels so hard for so many accomplished women, and what's actually behind it. We get into why loving fashion and understanding style are two completely different things, why most women's wardrobes are full of the same item in ten colours, and why the oversized everything approach most of us default to when we want to hide something is usually doing the exact opposite of what we hope. Jamie also gets into the connection between style and confidence in a way that is genuinely hard to shake, including how she's watched clients land job interviews, attract better relationships, and walk into rooms differently, not because they spent more money, but because they stopped dressing to disappear. Practically, we cover how to actually start building your style identity using Pinterest the right way, what style archetypes are and how to figure out yours, the one rule Jamie gives every client no matter their size or shape, how to shop for your body in a way that actually works, and why proper undergarments are the most underrated style tool you own. We close out with a rapid-fire hot or not segment covering everything from bodysuits to capped sleeves to the pre-scrunched blazer, and Jamie does not hold back. Her style archetype quiz is linked below, and if this conversation hits for you, her DMs are open. Timestamps:08:58 Style Archetypes Explained09:44 Common Style Mistakes20:30 Shopping List and Capsule Myth22:59 In Store Versus Online25:24 Body Shape Without Rules28:41 Undergarments and Camouflage32:08 Outfit Formulas That Work39:31 Budget Friendly Style Strategy43:12 Hot Or Not57:51 Universal Style Rules Resources Mentioned:Ext-linkStyle Archetype Quiz Connect with Jamie:jbl.styles (Instagram)Website To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE. To connect with Kate on Instagram, click ⁠HERE⁠. To apply for ITI, click ⁠HERE⁠. To submit a question to be answered on the podcast, click HERE.

Sami Miro is the founder of Sami Miro Vintage, a Creative Director, and CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund finalist whose innovative approach to fashion merges circular design, emerging AI, and ethical production. During our conversation, Sami discusses how her sense of self was shaped early, growing up mixed-race (Black, French, and Russian) in San Francisco, raised solely by her father who reminded her of her inherent beauty. Sami's style is incredibly unique, and in our conversation we talk about style differences between New York and LA, the beauty of individual style, and how vintage helped Sami find her voice, her style, and ultimately her career.Today, her zero-waste collaborations with brands like Levi's and Nike, her dressing of Beyoncé and her 29 dancers on the Cowboy Carter Tour, and her work with the 2024 US Olympic gymnastics team prove that fashion and sustainability are not at odds, they are inextricably linked.

This episode is part ten in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism. In this episode, we are going to examine brands and their values: their true values and then their marketing values (yes, most big companies have both and you might be surprised by the lack of overlap between those two sets of values).  And specifically, we are going to use Everlane as a conduit for this discussion.  We will go all the way back to Everlane's origin to identify what the brand's values were from the beginning.We will get some additional context around SHEIN's purchase of Everlane.We will learn just how much private equity is controlling fashion at this point.Amanda will debunk that myth that Everlane's sale marks the “end” of sustainability in fashion.And we will explore how "Stickergate" involved emotional branding.Listen to Amanda on Creativity In The Time of Capitalism.

Style is your survival strategy. Come find yours: https://schoolofselfimage.com/june We're about to live through the most average decade in human history. AI is becoming really, really good at sounding like everyone. And it shows. But here's the thing that a machine can't do. It can't be a woman who knows exactly who she is. Lately, I'm hearing the same thing from women everywhere: "I feel invisible. I feel replaceable." And these are not invisible women. These are women who've built things. Run things. Walked into a room and used to own it. In this episode, I'm naming what's happening – and making the case that personal style is our survival strategy. Full stop. What this moment demands is originality. Yours. This is a call for you to stop performing a life and start living one that is unmistakably, unapologetically yours. Here's what we cover: Why so many accomplished women feel invisible and replaceable right now What's actually happening as the world gets handed over to AI Why personal style is one of the most enlightening journeys a woman can take The one thing AI can never fake The firehose of formulas, and why copying her will never get you her result The exact moment my business started taking off The June Invitation and what's waiting for you inside the membership Did you enjoy this episode?
