What do women's pockets, ADHD, personal branding and billionaires have in common?Quite a lot, as it turns out.In this thought-provoking episode, Maddy sits down with style consultant and author Samantha Harman to explore why clothing is about so much more than fashion. Together they dive into authenticity, self-expression, neurodiversity, personal branding, consumerism, gender expectations and the hidden politics behind what we wear. From colourful hair and leopard print to school uniforms, corporate dress codes and the pressures of conformity, this conversation challenges the idea that professionalism has to look a certain way. They also discuss: Why authenticity is becoming rarer online  How clothing acts as a powerful form of non-verbal communication  ADHD, comfort, sensory needs and getting dressed  The role style plays in personal branding  Why women's clothing is often designed differently from men's  School uniforms, class, privilege and self-expression  The connection between clothing, identity and confidence  Consumerism, fast fashion and the psychology behind spending  How retailers use marketing tactics to encourage impulse buying  Klarna, Clearpay and the rise of buy-now-pay-later culture  Why Samantha wrote her new book, Just Get Dressed The importance of questioning societal expectations and creating a life that feels authentic to you. This is a conversation about much more than clothes. It's about identity, freedom, self-expression and having the confidence to show up as yourself in a world that often encourages conformity. About Samantha HarmanSamantha Harman is a style consultant and author of Just Get Dressed: Why You Have Nothing To Wear and What To Do About It.

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?

In today's episode, I'm joined by Colin Behr, founder of Wardrobe Theory Project, for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of menswear and what it really means to build a project with identity in today's fashion landscape. We discuss how menswear has evolved over the last decade, the growing influence of social media and creators, and why so many brands and campaigns can begin to feel visually and culturally repetitive. Colin shares his perspective on craftsmanship, design philosophy, and the balance between creating timeless pieces while still operating within a fast moving industry shaped by trends, image, and online culture.Throughout the conversation, we explore the relationship between personal style and branding, the importance of authenticity in modern menswear, and how independent projects can carve out a genuine point of view in an increasingly crowded market. Colin also reflects on the development of Wardrobe Theory Project, creating products with intention, and why quality, storytelling, and consistency matter more than ever.This episode is a thoughtful discussion on style, creativity, mindfulness, hint of psychology and the changing identity of menswear today.

Send us your feedback about the episode!Okay… I think I accidentally unlocked the future of shopping and getting dressed as a busy mom and business owner.In this episode, I'm sharing something that completely changed the way I shop, get dressed, and think about my wardrobe… I used AI (yes, ChatGPT) as my personal stylist.As a busy mom and business owner, getting dressed had started to feel overwhelming. I had a closet full of clothes but still felt like I had nothing to wear. So instead of continuing to shop randomly, I tried something different.I started snapping photos of pieces while I was shopping and uploading them into ChatGPT in real time. From there, it helped me figure out my body type, what silhouettes actually flatter me, what colours work best for my skin tone, and how to build a cohesive capsule wardrobe instead of buying random items.It helped me: create full outfits from pieces I already own  identify gaps in my wardrobe  avoid impulse purchases  define my personal style  and actually make getting dressed FUN again This episode isn't just about clothes — it's about simplifying your life, reducing decision fatigue, and feeling like yourself again after a season of change.If you've ever stood in your closet feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your style… this one is for you.

In this episode of The Style Stories Podcast, I'm joined by the wonderful Lady Terese Robinson — novelist, former PR and events professional, and wife of the late, great Sir Ken Robinson, whose TED Talk Do Schools Kill Creativity? became one of the most watched of all time. Lady T has lived a richly varied life, from the UK to Los Angeles, and her style story is every bit as interesting as her career journey. We talk about how style evolves over time, why experimentation is an important part of finding your own look, and how she always returns to her core style personality: undone, sexy, classic and chic. We also get into one of my favourite subjects — the idea that style is ageless. We challenge the outdated, fear-based rules the media still pushes about what women “should” or “shouldn't” wear at certain ages, and make the case for dressing in a way that feels true to you, not dictated by somebody else's opinion. One of the most powerful parts of style is how it makes you feel. When you wear something that feels like you, you move differently, show up differently and feel more confident. In this conversation, Lady T and I talk about how to notice what works, why it works, and how paying attention to that can help you build a wardrobe that feels more and more natural over time. This episode is a celebration of individuality, confidence and the freedom to dress without apology. Episode description Lady Terese Robinson joins me to talk about style, identity and confidence at any age. We discuss why experimentation matters, why style is ageless, and why the best outfits are the ones that make you feel most like yourself.

After 244 episodes of fashion debates, wardrobe dilemmas, trend predictions, and the occasional style confession, the Wisdom From the Wardrobe team takes a step back to look at the journey of the show itself. What began as a simple monthly conversation about clothes grew into a weekly exploration of fashion trends, personal style, wardrobe psychology, and the ever-changing relationship people have with getting dressed. Naturally, this episode begins in classic Wisdom From the Wardrobe fashion, with a slightly unexpected detour. Bec arrives armed with a Thera-Cane and the bold declaration that she may have been "born to be 80," which quickly leads to a lively discussion about the so-called Potato Shoe Theory. From Birkenstock Bostons to UGG slippers to foam-molded footwear that looks suspiciously like it may have been inspired by root vegetables, the team explores the rise of comfort-first fashion and the curious charm of "ugly-cute" shoes in the 2020s. From there the conversation turns toward the show itself and the many directions it has taken over the years. Along the way the team revisits memorable moments, spirited debates around the table, surprising fashion comebacks, and the universal wardrobe mystery of why we all seem to own at least one item we've never worn but absolutely refuse to part with. More than anything, this retrospective celebrates the conversations that made the show what it is: discussions about confidence, identity, creativity, and the small daily ritual of choosing how we present ourselves to the world through clothing. After hundreds of conversations about style, trends, and the psychology of getting dressed, the team reflects on what they've learned and what they hope listeners have taken away from the show. Trends may come and go, but great style — like a good conversation — never really goes out of fashion.   If this is your first time listening, here are a few episodes from the archive to get you started: • Our conversations about personal style and confidence • Episodes exploring fashion trends and wardrobe psychology • Listener favorite discussions on closet clean-outs and wardrobe strategy Browse the full archive and discover more conversations about fashion, style, and the everyday ritual of getting dressed.

I have never been a shopper. Starting in my teenage years, I decided I would be emo and wear black all the time. It was just easier, and it matched my teenage angst and all the Alanis Morrissette I was listening to. Can you relate?I would love to tell you that I have changed in my adult years, but I haven't really. Black is still my staple, and I don't put a lot of time into my wardrobe. My guest, Dianne Boyer, has shared with me the importance of putting together a wardrobe that serves us not only personally, but professionally. This is a missing tool that helps us with our confidence and with advocating for ourselves. You know what I'm talking about. When we feel good, we do good. When we wear our favorite outfit, we walk a little taller. And maybe, just maybe, we advocate for ourselves a little more. During our discussion, Dianne and I chatted about:Her origin story in fashion and stylingWhat pushed her out of her work and into running her own business, Dianne in StyleWhat is a color analysis, and why is it important?What is a personal style evaluation, and can it be done from anywhere?What is the goal of Dianne's work with women?If you are anything like me and are quick to go to wearing black as a default or the same outfits repeatedly that you do not particularly love, this show is for you.Here is more about Dianne:Dianne Boyer is a personal stylist helping women rediscover their confidence and joy through style. After decades in corporate and fashion marketing, Dianne transitioned into styling to empower women navigating life's next chapter. She offers practical, personalized styling for women who want to feel vibrant and relevant at any age.Reinvention is not just about what she does for others, it's her own story as well. Her professional path includes leadership roles in Fortune 100 marketing and over a decade in the fashion accessories space. Since the beginning, her career has centered around brand identity, visual impact, and helping others make a strong first impression. She's leveraged her years of marketing experience and love of fashion and applied the same principles for making brands shine to doing the same for women.Dianne has shared her styling insights on television segments in Detroit and Chicago and has been featured in Real Simple, People, and Today.com. Her message is simple: it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Whether it's a career pivot or a fresh outfit, you deserve to love what you see in the mirror.If the Brave Women at Work Podcast has helped you personally or professionally, please share it with a friend, colleague, or family member.

In this episode, we're throwing out the tired, generic style advice that's been making women feel like they're getting it “wrong” for years. You don't need another list of “must-haves”, body shape diagrams, or colour rules – you need to start asking one powerful question: “Is this me?” Not: Does this flatter my figure? Is this the right colour for my undertone? Is this on trend for my age? Those questions are rooted in shame, judgment and external rules. This conversation is about coming back to you. In this episode, I talk about: Why generic style rules are failing you (and why they feel so flat and boring) The problem with shame-based advice like “does this flatter me?” Replacing “Is this flattering?” with “Is this me?” as your core style filter How your current wardrobe is already full of clues about your true style What your home, decor and environment reveal about what you're genuinely drawn to How your upbringing, music, culture and memories quietly shape your taste Why we've never been taught to trust our instincts with style – and how to change that A simple process to start decoding your personal style from what you already own You'll learn: How to spot the pieces you actually love versus the ones you “should” wear How to use your wardrobe, your home and even your Pinterest saves as a style mood board How to stop feeling like you're “failing” at style and start feeling at home in your clothes Practical questions to ask yourself when you try something on so you know instantly if it's you Try this after you listen: Go to your wardrobe and pull out the 5 things you wear on repeat Ask: What do these have in common? Shape, colour, fabric, mood? Then walk around your home and notice the same patterns in your decor Start building your outfits from those clues – not from someone else's rulebook If you're ready to stop outsourcing your style to strangers on the internet and start trusting your own instincts, this episode is for you.   Sign-up to Substack for more advice here https://lisagillbe.substack.com Here's my Instagram - follow Lisa here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/?hl=en

This episode is part eight in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism. In this episode, we will talk about how the price we are willing to pay for an item is directly related to branding:Why "perceived value" is almost more important than mathing the math,How brands manipulate the perceived value via small changes to products, Why even the graphic design of a brand's website will change your expectations around pricing,How you often guess the prices in a store just by looking at the merchandising and fixtures,And why we have to stop expecting small business prices to align with fast fashion/fast everything pricing.Add your address to get a postcard.Get your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/For the next month, use promo code THEPRICEISRIGHT to get 50% off all merch!

Personal style might look like a surface-level thing, but it’s actually one of the most psychologically loaded choices we make every day. What we wear shapes how we’re perceived, how we feel, and sometimes even what parts of ourselves we give permission to show. In this episode, we’re unpacking the psychology of personal style - why we’re drawn to what we’re drawn to, what shapes our wardrobe, and how to find a style that actually feels like you. We explore: • How upbringing and early experiences shape what feels safe, flattering, or off-limits• The role of the Big Five personality traits• Style as identity signalling• How clothes shift out mood• The role of trends and fast fashion in conformity• How to rediscover your personal style If you’ve ever felt like your wardrobe doesn’t quite match who you are, this episode is for you.

Personal style becomes the entry point for a deeper conversation on embodiment, intuition, and empowerment as Nichole Bigley and Mahjuba Levine explore how clothing shapes energy, identity, and becoming. Through her work, Mahjuba reveals how clothing can hold energetic memory and emotional attachment — often reflecting past versions of self — and how consciously working with your wardrobe becomes a practice of release, alignment, and embodiment. A pivotal moment in her spiritual journey arrived at Mount Shasta, where a profound violet-flame experience and sacred geometry downloads expanded Mahjuba's intuitive awareness. That moment helped reshape her life's work. What began as a wardrobe consulting career evolved into helping clients release past identities, heal and transform, and fully step into who they are becoming. Listen to this episode as Nichole and Mahjuba discuss: The heart as a center for sensing energy, guidance, and embodied knowing. Why closets are sacred spaces holding memory, identity, and past versions of self. How clothing stores emotional and energetic imprint — and what happens when we release attachment. The energetic impact of fabric, color, and conscious consumption on alignment and vitality. How personal style influences confidence, presence, and manifestation in everyday life. The divine feminine rising — and how personal style can support empowerment and self-trust. This conversation invites you to view personal style not as superficial — but as an embodied, intuitive, and spiritual tool for empowerment, alignment, and manifestation.

Today I am joined by the talented London-based photographer Haris Ahmed. He specializes in corporate, startup, and comedy/celebrity photography.During the episode, we discuss how Haris transitioned from working at Apple to building a sustainable photography business, his unconventional path into comedy photography, and his approach to balancing commercial work with creative passion projects.Episode Takeaways:→ Finding reliable income sources like corporate work funds creative experimentation in other genres—you don't need to monetize every aspect of your photography.→ Reverse-engineer the client's perspective: understand that marketing managers need to justify spending and require proof of capability, not out of distrust but necessity.→ Build portfolio proof through alternative means—Haris's YouTube channel demonstrated consistent content creation ability when he lacked traditional client work.→ Equipment choices should prioritize achieving specific creative outcomes rather than technical specifications alone.→ The quiet, personal moments shot for yourself often become client favorites—integrate your authentic voice across all genres rather than compartmentalizing.→ Act as if you already have the job when discussing opportunities, focusing on problem-solving rather than pitching.Chapters00:00 - Introduction to Creative Journeys01:32 - Haris Ahmed's Photography Evolution06:59 - Transitioning from Apple to Photography12:58 - Building a Portfolio through YouTube18:17 - Navigating Corporate Photography25:22 - Finding Inspiration in Corporate Work30:52 - The Importance of Personal Style in Photography35:39 - Exploring the Art of Photography40:06 - The Balance of Corporate and Creative Work46:07 - Navigating Equipment Choices for Photography1:02:05 - Evolving Creative Direction and Future Aspirations1:08:58 - Advice for Aspiring CreativesLinksHaris Ahmed's YouTube and Instagram - https://www.youtube.com/@HVRIS and https://www.instagram.com/hvrisworldHaris' Website - https://www.haychdigital.com/Tom's Website - https://www.bytomw.comTom's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bytomwDB Captures (Next Interview Recommendation) - https://www.instagram.com/dbcaptures

Italian designers work quietly behind the scenes, shaping how leaders, artists, and thinkers present themselves to the world through style. Rome has always been a city where power, culture, and aesthetics intersect. Politics meets art, ceremony meets daily life, and nowhere is that more visible than in the world of Italian designers who work quietly behind the scenes, shaping how leaders, artists, and thinkers present themselves to the world. One of the most remarkable of these is Sartoria Litrico, a Rome-based bespoke tailor now in its third generation and officially recognized as one of the city's historic artisans, by the Italian Ministry of National Historical Value. Italian designers are not just stylists or trendsetters. At their best, they are observers of human nature, historians of the body, and translators of personality into fabric. Sartoria Litrico's story is not simply about suits—it is about how Italian craftsmanship shaped the visual language of the 20th century.

In this episode, we talk about why personal style is not superficial — it's spiritual. Your clothes are energy. Your colors are signals. And the way you dress often reveals whether you're still protecting an old version of yourself… or stepping into your next era of abundance. In this episode, we explore: What the Year of the Snake has been teaching us about shedding, truth, and quiet endings The bold, visible, magnetic energy of the Fire Horse — and why hiding no longer works How relationships can subtly mute self-expression (without us even realizing it) Why personal style is often the first place we hide — and the first place we reclaim power A real-life moment that reminded me how embodiment changes how the world responds to you The difference between dressing to belong vs. dressing to lead Why abundance, confidence, and visibility are deeply connected to how you show up visually A practical takeaway you can apply immediately: I walk you through a simple but powerful style activation ritual — from creating a style vision board, identifying the colors you're craving, discovering your color season, and choosing one bold piece that stretches you into the woman you're becoming. Because this glow-up isn't about trends. It's about permission. And Fire Horse energy rewards women who are willing to be seen. If you've felt the urge to shed an old skin… If you know you're not meant to blend in anymore… This episode is your invitation to step fully into your iconic era. Ready to go deeper? This is the work we do inside Shine Online — learning how to communicate with clarity, build confidence through visibility, and turn your voice into authority and income without burning out.
