The first thing I hear when I hear the word 'impossible,' I hear 'bet,' 'challenge accepted.' Now that we've moved past the impossible, what were the obstacles that you say I can't do and we're going to figure it out one by one.When I hear the word resilient, I just hear 'pulse.' When everything goes wrong, when you lose a loved one, when you're dealing with COVID, when you lose a job, when things don't go your way, you still got that pulse in your heart. That means you're literally the embodiment of resiliency. So when it's dark as, 'I don't know what,' you get a heart still beating, that is the rollout reminder, constantly. Every moment you take a breath is telling YOU are the definition of resiliency. So if this thing (heart beating) can keep going, I've got no excuse not to. Enjoy this PT 1 with me sharing my story with Toi Sweeney, Founder & CEO of the Well Dressed Brand.

Jenn Prentice is a friend I met in LA at the RISE Conference back in April. We immediately hit it off and have been friends ever since. Jenn is a wife, mom, lecturer, blogger (THIS IS THIRTY FOUR) and friend to SO MANY! She is also an amazing encourager as well as someone who really encourages me to think about my actions. This past May Jenn embarked on a new adventure, on that she has made very public as to keep her accountable. Jenn has launched A YEAR WITHOUT CLOTHE. She is going a WHOLE YEAR without purchasing clothing, shoes or accessories. I love her heart behind this because it's not just a gimmick to gain followers but its a heart change. Jenn realized that she was turning to shopping as a way to cope with feelings. I know that I tend to have this same pattern so I personally am LOVING being able to watch Jenn do this. Jenn and I talk a lot about a year without clothes and how it started but we also chat about motherhood and eating our words before we became moms, how being a good steward of our money can bring glory to God and so much more! Links/ Recommendations Jenn mentioned our mutual friend Toi Sweeney and her book SECRETS OF A WELL DRESSED BRAND. Which is a MUST read and will help you organize your closet in the VERY BEST way!! BELIEVE BIGGERby MARSHAWN EVANS DANIELS Jenn was absolutely right! This book was GREAT! I loved how she broke down purpose and calling all the while remembering God is the creator and giver of all of that. HE MADE US FOR A PURPOSE!! Definitely run out and grab this book!! We mention a “CAPSULE WARDROBE” and I just wanted to let y'all know what that is if you've never heard the term before...So...Capsule wardrobe is a term coined by Susie Faux, the owner of a London boutique called "Wardrobe" in the 1970s. According to Faux, a capsule wardrobe is a collection of a few essential items of clothing that don't go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers, and coats, which can then be augmented with seasonal pieces. **FROM WIKIPEDIA** Connect With Jenn INSTAGRAM WEBSITE SPONSORED BY: PLUME LEATHER JEWELRY This month PLUME is giving back to an adoptive mom as they begin their journey!

Dressing For Success I’m so excited about today’s episode because, y’all, we are talking about clothes! Okay, I’m not a fashion expert and I’m certainly not a stylist. But I will tell you, I’ve never met a pair of pumps I didn’t like—and I know that the right outfit can instantly change the way I carry myself, how confident I feel, and my overall mood. It’s simple, really: I feel my best when I look my best. And I think you will, too. Now I’m the first to admit: I’ve made my share of fashion mistakes. A few years ago, I was at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas speaking at a huge conference wearing my most favorite black waxed jeans and a teal blouse. I was in one of my—shall we say—“fluffier” stages. And I may or may not have had to squeeze into those jeans, but I did happen to think I looked pretty cute. But then the photographs from my client came in. One look and all I could see were jeans that were creasing and pulling—in all the wrong places, I might add. Throw in the reflection of the bright stage lights, and it was glaringly obvious that my jeans were entirely too tight. I told my leader right then and there, “I can do better. I will do better.” And I haven’t stepped foot on a stage since without first asking myself one question: “Am I dressed for success today?” Can the Way I Dress Affect My Business? You may be wondering what any of this has to do with your business. In a word? Everything. The way you present yourself (and what you wear is a big part of that) affects your customers’ opinion of you. That opinion and first impression then influences whether they do business with you, which positively or negatively impacts your bottom line. And your bottom line, of course, determines the ultimate success or failure of your business. So dressing for success is about so much more than just clothes! How Can I Dress for Success? In this episode, I’ll talk about the three most common mistakes women make when it comes to clothes—and believe me, I’ve been there too. Yep, I’ve made every single one of them. But the good news is these mistakes have easy solutions. I’ll share those with you as well! By the way, I also have a little formula I follow when it comes to putting together a super cute outfit. And don’t worry. It doesn’t require a closet full of clothes and accessories or a wardrobe loaded with the latest trends. And you definitely don’t need to spend a lot of money to pull it off. Even better? It works every time! It’s almost as good as having a personal stylist. I can’t wait to tell you all about it! I know that, just like me, you’ll feel the best when you look your best. And when you’re at your best, I know one thing for sure: There’s no stopping you. My Guest This Week Is Toi Sweeney! Toi is an award-winning stylist, brand image specialist, and successful entrepreneur who is passionate about helping women—everyone from influencers to CEOs—present themselves favorably in business. And the stakes are pretty high. “You are a brand. Your clothing is your packaging,” says Toi. “That packaging is one of the most visible ways to stand out from the rest.” After 20 years in the fashion industry, Toi has styled her share of personalities and has made it her mission to do so as authentically and uniquely as possible. After all, she believes what we wear on the outside should be a reflection of who we are on the inside. But there is a right and a wrong way to achieve that. Did you know that, on average, you have less than nine seconds to convince your customers that you are smart and kind and worthy of their business? And did you know that the color you wear impacts someone else’s perception of you? Or that the wrong personal image could lead to lost opportunities? That means every single style choice, from the color of our earrings to the height of the heels of our shoes, is an opportunity to cultivate trust. That may seem like a lot of pressure to place on a pair of jeans and a navy blazer, but Toi insists that if you take the time to look the part—that is, if you dress for success with intention—you will be amazed at what you can (and will) achieve. In this podcast, Toi and I will talk about: The why behind your clothing choices How to figure out your personal style and dress accordingly The four biggest fashion mistakes and how to avoid them How to make a thrift-store find look like a million bucks When—and how much—to invest in trends Plus, for the first time ever, I’ll be answering your questions by phone. That’s right! I’ve got a brand new toll-free phone number that you can call and ask me your business questions.

Dressing For Success I'm so excited about today's episode because, y'all, we are talking about clothes! Okay, I'm not a fashion expert and I'm certainly not a stylist.

She is an expert at creating one of a kind personal brands that elevate image to art. Toi knows how to “Shut it down”. PERSONAL BRANDING AND CLOTHES The big question on my mind as we started the show was, while we've all heard that clothes “make the man” is it possible that clothes can also make the brand? Toi has a great quote that sums up how clothes really do make not only the man (woman) but also the brand. “When you look good, you feel good, if you feel good then you are confident, if you are confident then world is yours” Other topics we discuss include: colors, common fashion mistakes, and clothing delivery companies like Trunk Club and Bombfell.
