Today I'm joined by Whitney Faires, internationally recognized coach, keynote speaker, and executive leader, for a powerful conversation about magnetic presence, authenticity, and real connection. We unpack why being magnetic is not about being loud, why authenticity is not the same as being unfiltered, and how vulnerability builds trust in leadership, sales, and life. We talk relational drift, emotional intelligence, and the small, intentional moments that create loyalty, influence, and impact. You'll leave rethinking how you show up, how you lead, and how connection truly changes everything.https://whitneyfaires.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitney-faires-14955a38/Let's Stay in Touch!

  In this episode of The Heart & Hustle Podcast, Evie and Lindsey are joined by personal stylist and thrifting queen Krista Lavrusik for a conversation that feels like a confidence pep talk you did not know you needed. Krista shares how discovering your personal style can completely shift the way you see yourself, especially if you have spent years treating clothes as purely functional or feeling disconnected from your wardrobe. From walking into a thrift store without feeling overwhelmed to her iconic "thrifting boyfriends," Krista breaks down exactly how to shop with intention, spot quality pieces, and build a closet that actually reflects who you are. The girls dive into "feeling like a 10," navigating style through pregnancy and postpartum seasons, why men's button downs are a secret weapon, and how confidence starts with honoring what makes you feel good right now. This episode is full of practical tips, permission to let go of what no longer serves you, and encouragement to stop waiting for the perfect moment to show up as yourself. If you are craving a wardrobe refresh, a mindset shift, or just want to feel more confident in your own skin, this conversation will leave you inspired, empowered, and ready to step into your own '10' energy.

If you've ever wondered what actually happens inside my group coaching calls — what women really ask, how specific the advice gets, and what it sounds like when we take your everyday style struggles and turn them into clear, doable next steps — today's episode is going to give you a front-row seat.   Because this is a live Q&A segment pulled straight from a real HER Style Collective coaching call. We're talking about the kinds of questions that pop up when you're standing in your closet, scrolling your phone, or hovering over the "checkout" button… Like how to actually stop impulse shopping, how to avoid outfit repetition, defining your personal style, and whether you can wear pure white in a way that still looks flattering even if it's technically not your "best" color.    This is the kind of personalized, nuanced guidance you don't get from a trend report or a quick tip on Instagram. It's coaching that helps you think differently about your wardrobe, so getting dressed feels easier, smarter, and more aligned with your unique life and goals.   If you want in-depth coaching from me just like this every single week, you can join us inside HER Style Collective today at herstylellc.com/collective. And for now, enjoy this behind-the-scenes peek at what's waiting for you inside…   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 289 – How Annette Simplified Her Closet, Mastered Her Style, and Built a Wardrobe She Loves 261 – Style Coaching Behind the Scenes: Solving Real Client Challenges with Color, Style, and Accessories 187 – LIVE Coaching: Am I Buying the Wrong Size Jeans?

How well do you really know your personal style? I'm talking beyond the surface-level stuff—like whether you gravitate toward black or prefer bright colors. In this episode, we're diving deeper into the often-overlooked foundation of great style: truly understanding yourself. The biggest style breakthroughs don't come from following trends or mastering complicated styling formulas. They come from paying attention to what actually works for you. Today, we're unpacking 10 essential things every woman should know about herself if she wants getting dressed to feel easier, more fun, and authentically hers.I hope this episode helps you shift your perspective on what "knowing your style" really means. This isn't about memorizing fashion rules or completely overhauling your wardrobe. It's about building that fundamental understanding of yourself—what you love wearing, what makes you feel confident, and what actually fits into your real life. When you have these answers, everything else falls into place naturally. In this episode, you'll learn: The power of your "natural uniform"The connection between style vocabulary and shopping successWhy style fundamentals are guides, not gospelThe "wear more of what works" principleHow to think of your style as choices, not commandsFull show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-227

What if the way you dress could change everything? Not because it makes you look better, but because it removes the friction that keeps you distracted and self-conscious.   In this episode, I'm challenging the idea that personal style is frivolous. When you understand your authentic style, you stop thinking about what you're wearing and start focusing on what actually matters: the people you're with, the work you're doing, the impact you want to make.   Listen to discover why personal style isn't a luxury, it's essential.

For the second part, Amanda interviewed Maggie.  This week's episode is part 2 of the conversation, where Amanda interviewed Maggie.  You can listen to part 1 here.This conversation follows the format of ATTN: Confidential: self-awareness, curiosity, and advocacy in a safe container.

Sweater season has arrived for many of us, so let's revisit a favorite episode from last 2023!Dani of Picnicwear joins Amanda to explain why (most) new sweaters are low quality, (near) future garbage (instead of future vintage).  It's a complicated tale of synthetic blends, increasing margin targets, and lower prices.  We'll explain how the fast fashion industry has kept prices low and profits high by swapping out yarns, cutting out details, and making copies of copies, while walking through the design process of most big retailers/brands. We will unpack why it's really difficult to find sweaters made of natural fibers.Amanda will explain how natural fibers aren't the "cure" for the impact of overconsumption.We will give you advice about how to choose the right sweater (hint: read those content labels).Dani will give you advice about how to care for your sweaters properly. We were inspired by Amanda Mull's piece for The Atlantic, Your Sweaters Are Garbage.

Today, we're focusing on the topic of style with content creator and disability advocate April Lockhart. She began her career in fashion and beauty, working for companies including Victoria's Secret, Tarte, and Caudalie. While working a 9-to-5, she also created content on the side, and in 2022, she gained traction for her series Normalizing Disabled Fashion Girlies. When she realized she was earning five times her salary from her side hustle and maxing out her PTO, she decided to leave her role as director of influencer and partnerships at Ilia Beauty to pursue content creation full-time. In addition to her work as a creator, Lockhart is also a disability advocate. This year, she founded Disabled&, a community for creatives with disabilities. In this episode, she gets into what it's like to go to fashion week as an influencer, the state of disability representation in fashion, and why inclusive design is so important.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
