Get ready to jingle all the way with Nat on this episode of the "Wear Who You Are" podcast! Nat dives into the holiday shopping season, equipping listeners with practical strategies to navigate the crowded market with style and confidence. She highlights vital sales dates, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, while cautioning against the traps of inflated pricing often seen during these events. Of course, Natalie emphasizes the importance of creating a Strategic Shopping List to avoid impulse buys, suggesting tools like browser extensions to track item prices historically. This episode also shows a Strategic Shopping List in action, demonstrating how a stylist identifies specific items they're looking for during the holiday shopping sales. In the final notes of this solo episode, Natalie also delves a bit into the BU Style values and ethical implications of holiday consumerism, advocating for mindful purchasing that takes environmental and social factors into account. We encourage listeners to support small businesses and engage in community-building initiatives like Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday, and ask you to join us in being thoughtful consumers this holiday season.Q the Makeup ArtistTo book your Q the Makeup Artist appointment with Rebecca Robles, head to bu.style/makeup-servicesFollow Us:Follow the podcast on social media, and submit your questions by sending us a message here!@bustyle@natalie_tincherCheck out the website for more info at www.bu.styleSign Up for Nat's NewsletterRate, Review, & Subscribe to the podcast on Apple & SpotifyThis Podcast is brought to you by Upstarter Pods

Go back to basics with a BU Style foundational methodology episode! This dynamic podcast episode emphasizes the importance of connecting your authenticity to your fashion choices. In this solo Style School episode, Natalie guides listeners through a framework she refers to as the BU Style Six—Relaxed, Classic, Polished, Soft, Magnetic, and Creative. With characteristic passion and a love of puns and wordplay, Natalie underscores that authentic style transcends fleeting trends and social media pressures; it's about understanding and expressing who you genuinely are through your wardrobe. Throughout the episode, Natalie weaves together expertise and personal anecdotes to highlight how you can combine different elements of the BU Style Six. Whether you've got a Relaxed disposition but want to step out with more Magnetic energy at a corporate event, or if you thrive in a Creative environment yet crave Classic sophistication—there's always room for blending styles to create looks that resonate with your personality. Natalie encourages you to rummage through your closet, pinpoint the pieces that align with your style identities, and confidently develop your own unique blend. And underscoring all of this is the importance of self-acceptance and understanding, all to help listeners step away from the distractions of mainstream fashion and societal expectations. By embracing your individuality and the diverse elements of your style, you can wield your wardrobe as a powerful tool for self-expression. This is a really foundational episode of Wear Who You Are, and there's so much to learn here in this Style School methodology episode. True style is a reflection not of what you wear, but who you are. Show notes & resources:BU Style Six Assessment and InformationEpisode 29 Companion EpisodeNomasei Pop-Up Event in New York CityRevisit Episode 22Follow Us:Follow the podcast on social media, and submit your questions by sending us a message here!@bustyle@natalie_tincherCheck out the website for more info at www.bu.styleSign Up for Nat's NewsletterRate, Review, & Subscribe to the podcast on Apple & SpotifyThis Podcast is brought to you by Upstarter Pods

 My high school pre-Calculus teacher used to say, “How do you spell ‘math'? F-U-N!” I always vehemently disagreed until I learned about the ‘cost-per-wear formula'! Cost per wear is a calculation I use before I buy anything and another tool I use with my clients as we consider what investing in their wardrobe should look like. In today's Style School episode, I walk you through what the cost-per-wear formula is and how to use it to inform your own shopping decisions.--Links & resources:Follow the podcast on social media:@bustyle@natalie_tincherCheck out the website for more info at www.bu.styleSign Up for Nat's NewsletterRate, Review, & Subscribe to the podcast on Apple & SpotifyThis Podcast is brought to you by Upstarter Podcast Network

Is cost always an indicator of quality in clothing? Do you know where your money is going when you purchase from a brand?

Fresh off my recent trip to Paris, I share my observations on the American fascination with French style—and why I don't believe “French chic” is a defined style—but rather how environment, outlooks, history, and habits are manifested through a collective population's style and presence. We're selling ourselves and other populations short by trying to pigeonhole styles into a narrowly defined, caricatured definition.Episode Links: Nat's Packing TipsTake the BU Style Six assessment--Links & resources:Follow the podcast on social media:@bustyle@natalie_tincherCheck out the website for more info at www.bu.styleRate, Review, & Subscribe to the podcast on Apple & SpotifyThis Podcast is brought to you by Upstarter Podcast Network

It is time to stop living a divided life.   When your life is divided between home and work, personal and professional, you're vulnerable to all sorts of relationship troubles and everyday friction.   When you separate yourself from your values and see your business and life divided instead of integrated and unified by your purpose and values, you will break from the pressure of it all.   You feel out of alignment with what matters most–your health, your values, your most important relationships–and feel at the mercy of responding to every need like it is an emergency, further sacrificing your clarity and confidence.   My guest today has done the work to get clear on how she leads herself and others and not letting fear divide her from what she values and who she loves most.   Stasia Svasuk is an entrepreneur, mama, speaker, adventurer, thrifter, and science-of-style expert who thinks bodies are just about the coolest things on earth.   She is the founder and creator of THE REVEL-YOU-TION––an online community of crazy-brave women who are using their closets to heal their shame, flex their brave muscles, cultivate their creativity, and create some wildly fabulous outfits while they're at it.   Stasia has inspired many thousands through her Tedx talk, her wildly popular (and now retired) Stasia's Style School, her numerous podcast recordings and guest speaker gigs, and her ability to cultivate a community where collective braving and collective healing are the name of the game.   We cover some incredible territory in this episode around work, life, and family integration.   Listen to the full episode to hear: How our closets are a Trailhead for doing deep, meaningful work about how you feel in your body How Stasia realized that teaching women to turn down the temperature on their body shame wasn't enough and how she's changing her business to do it How she's learning to feel into her boundaries and take ownership of the consequences, good and bad How her relationships with her clothes let her know when she's out of alignment elsewhere in her life   Learn more about Stasia Savasuk: stasiasavasuk.com Instagram: @stasiasavasuk Facebook: @welcometotherevelyoution   Learn more about Rebecca: rebeccaching.com Work With Rebecca Sign up for the Weekly Rumble Email   Resources A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life by Parker J.

Today, I'm joined by Stasia Savasuk, the creator of Stasia's Style School. Stasia helps people find the courage, clarity, and congruency to rock their personal style. Stasia's personal story—and how she's turned her passion into a thriving business—will shed light on all the hangups you might have about your personal style and the way your personality plays into the brand you're building. The post EP 272: Making Your Brand Personal With Stasia’s Style School Creator Stasia Savasuk appeared first on What Works.

About Stasia Savasuk: Savasuk is a Vermont-based personal stylist, teacher, and body-positivity advocate who ushers women from feelings of insignificance, body shame and a perpetual state of why-bother, into radically embracing who they are, what they want, and how they show up in the world. She is the founder and creator of Stasia’s Style School, an online empowerment program that has helped hundreds of women reconnect with their soul-fire and live a life of courage, confidence, and congruency. Stasia believes that true style cannot be dictated by role, income, size, age or gender, but instead must be a reflection of who you are on the inside. She believes that style – how you show up in the world – matters. She should know. It’s changed her life, and it’s changed the life of her 12-year-old daughter. In fact, it was her daughter that taught her about Inside-Out Congruency, a concept that has since changed the lives of thousands of women. Stasia loves traveling, hiking, camping, and exploring… usually in a dress, lipstick and big earrings. Show notes: http://tamihackbarth.com/episode30/

This week's podcast episode is all about why it's ok to suck at style. A bad outfit isn't a sure sign that something is wrong with you or your body. What I'm learning from my Style School students is that we sometimes forget what its like to be a beginner and that is totally okay to suck at something. You won't nail every outfit on the first try. You didn't learn to walk that way either. There was a ton of trial and error. Same is true for learning your sense of style and becoming more confident. The road to style is paved with a lot of ugly outfits. So what? It doesn't mean anything about you unless you think it does. So give yourself some grace this week as you use trial and error to guide you on your way to style & confidence. Music by www.bensound.com

Stasia Savasuk is an amazing style coach, has an outstanding Tedx Talk, and is the founder of Stasia’s Style School. She’s joining me on the show, and I’m delighted to share this interview. We giggled our way through our discussion, and had a hilarious time talking about style, what lights us up, how to find what kinds of styles fit YOU, and, all about Stasia’s inspiring story of becoming an entrepreneur. In this episode, Stasia and I talk about: Her early entrepreneurial work as a child, collecting and selling worms How she broke up with style, and wore very bland clothing for many years That one size fits all is bullshit How to discover style that works for you and reflects who you really are How to get in touch with who you really are What it looks like to belong to yourself How her differently abled child has taught her so much about inside out congruency Her thoughts on how to jumpstart your joy: asking yourself how you want to show up, don’t participate in body shaming, and getting outside Resources Stasia Savasuk’s website Stasia on Instagram Stasia’s Ted Talk on “Dressing for Confidence and Joy”: https://youtu.be/L5n3V0VYGNg 

Join Karen as she welcomes special guest Stasia Savasuk, the founder of Style School. Together they discuss what it means when men and women use clothing as an expression of your authenticity -- what Stasia calls "inside-out congruency."

This season on the Recapture Self podcast it’s our intention to give you a peek at the lives of moms and women who are balancing daily life, motherhood, and a commitment to their creative selves. These are women who are making time and space for their passion projects whether that be writing a book, designing a blog, photographing their family, or running a business. Prepare to be inspired by their stories. This week I'm chatting with Stasia Savasuk.  Stasia is a Personal Stylist (with a twist!) and founder of Stasia’s Style School. Her unconventional-transformation-motivational approach to style leads women of all ages and stages on an intuitive journey of letting go, knowing what they know, and embracing a life filled with confidence, courage and (inside-out) congruency. Stasia knows that changing your pants will change your life, and has ushered hundreds of women away from years of body-shaming, negative self-talk and muffin-top jeans to a place of body acceptance and pants that fit-to-flatter. Stasia can be seen hiking around in the backwoods of Vermont with her husband and two kids, wearing a dress, big earrings and a friendly smile.

I live in Tennessee where a month or so ago forest fires decimated Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the surrounding mountain areas. There were stories of brave firefighters and brave citizens in the midst of both personal loss and devastating community loss. This is what we think of when we think of bravery. Nationally televised news stories. But, bravery is much closer to home and accessible in small moments. Important moments. Moments that can shift your life. And the lives of those around you. What does bravery look like? I see bravery daily in my best friend fighting a cancer that is only potentially managed. We're told it's not going to be cured. She faces her days, her parenting, her treatment and her future with such grace and positive attitude that I can think of no word other than brave. I see her step bravely into the idea she may not be here for her kids as long as she wants to be. I see her step bravely into a regimen of treatments and terminology that would make your head spin. I see her step bravely into dependence on others because she can't drive while taking pain medicine. I see her step bravely into the reality of pulling away from a freelancing job that has given her purpose and identity in addition to income. I see her do these things, not without struggle, but with assurance, faith, grace and most certainly, bravery. And I'm humbled. Her brave is drawn from a deep well of faith and it allows her to move through the dance she's been given with grace and joy determined by her faith rather than her circumstances. I see bravery in a circle of online women taking a class they expected to be about style and soon realized it was about how they choose to show up in the world. And that quickly became a very deep, very important conversation. I saw them tackle their body image. Their belief in themselves. Their understanding of who they are and who they want to be. I cheered as they bravely began to show who they are on the inside to the world at large. With fear, yes. But with honesty, vulnerability and truth. I saw them make choices based on their own strength rather than the stories they've been hearing about themselves from others and in their own heads. Outwardly the shifts weren't dramatic every single day. But internal shifts sometimes require far more bravery. I saw them transform from intentionally hiding from the world to shining in it. And I'm humbled. Their brave came from a deep sense of community where each person is seen and loved in a way we don't experience in our over-connected but under-communitied culture. The support in this community allows them to tackle new steps in their dance every day. I see bravery in the actions of my nephew who recently defended a boy in his fifth grade class. This classroom of boys has been unmercifully picking on a child who is different. And my nephew had had enough of it. I see leadership, kindness and bravery in him. And I'm humbled. His brave shines from a soul who knows who he is and believes in the dignity of all people. In kindness toward others. He's eleven and he may not articulate it that way himself at his age. But the rhythm of his dance communicates it clearly. Your Brave You may not be facing a fire of the magnitude of the one the Tennessee mountain people faced this season. But daily each of us face our own fires. Maybe it's not cancer. Or self image. Or bullies. But, I guarantee there is something that requires you to put your brave on and dance the song in your life. Whatever that thing is, know that there are everyday heroes around you taking those steps daily. Yes, the fires are there. And they may be difficult and painful. Dance anyway. Not in spite of the fires, but because of them. Step into your brave and let the world around you be enriched and encouraged. Bravery is like a muscle, if you use it, it gets stronger. Start small. No need to fight a Smoky Mountain forest fire. Start small. Build the muscle. Put your brave on. I'm willing to bet you'll be surprised what you can do. Episode Artwork This week, the art is pretty easy to interpret without my help. A dancer balances bravely in the midst of flames. Be like her. If this episode or art has spoken to you and you'd like a copy of this print, you can find it here.
