Hey Guys, In this episode, you'll spend just ten minutes setting up your closet so tomorrow's decluttering session is fast, clean, and doable. No decisions today — only preparation. Wardrobe Decluttering Series Overview This month we're decluttering your wardrobe in four simple categories so you never feel overwhelmed: 1️⃣ Tops Everything worn from your neck to your waist • Hanging vs. folded • Long-sleeve vs. short-sleeve • Goal: Build a foundation you actually love to wear 2️⃣ Bottoms Anything worn from your waist down • Jeans, pants, leggings, skirts, shorts • Clear out anything that no longer fits your life or body 3️⃣ One-Piece Outfits All the items that stand alone • Dresses, jumpsuits, rompers • Keep only the pieces that make you feel confident 4️⃣ Everything Else The final layer of your wardrobe • Jackets, coats, shoes, undergarments, belts, tights, scarves, hats, accessories • Align these items with who you are today — not past or fantasy versions of you How This Series Works • One small category at a time • Clear, doable steps in every episode • Focused attention so you can actually finish each section Why We Do It This Way Because your wardrobe holds old identities — versions of you from the past or imaginary futures. Sorting by category gives your brain clarity so decision-making becomes logical instead of emotional. When you can see what you really own, you can finally choose what supports the life you have now.  

In this episode of Don't Depend on Daddy, I'm sharing my wardrobe staples and the shopping lessons I learned in 2025 after simplifying my closet, upgrading my style, and finally finding pieces that last.I'll walk you through:

Hey Guys, In today's episode, we're kicking off the December Wardrobe Series with a direct look at why closets feel so overwhelming. It's not the clothes. It's the identity underneath the clothes, and the stories we've attached to them. You'll hear why most people avoid decluttering their wardrobe — not because it's complicated, but because facing who you are right now is harder than letting go of who you used to be. We break down the truth about "one day" outfits, the emotional weight tucked into old tops and jeans, and how your wardrobe becomes a mirror of your self-worth. We also talk about the foundational identity shift for the entire month: You dress every day from the identity you believe you deserve. When you change the identity, the wardrobe follows. This month is not about capsule closets, Pinterest organization, or style rules. It's about alignment. It's about dressing for the life you're actually living and the woman you're becoming. Today's action step: Remove five items from your closet that do not represent the version of you that exists right now. Not the future you. Not the past you. Just the woman you are today. It's a small step, but it starts the identity shift that will carry through the rest of the series.

Long ago, before the great lion Aslan bounded onto bookshelves, C. S. Lewis wrote a science fiction novel set on mythological Mars. From there, the sequel carried Dr. Elwin Ransom by angels to the sister planet Venus. And from there … the Ransom/Cosmic/Space Trilogy descended to the dull world of corrupt college boards, inner-ring politics, and a secret technocracy bent on world domination with the aid of mad science and demons and everything. Eighty years after That Hideous Strength, we explore why C. S. Lewis created this earthbound and weird and wonderful pre-political supernatural thriller.

The temptations to wield inner rings The Ransom Trilogy really includes all three fantastical genres. It starts with sci-fi, continues to fantasy, ends in supernatural. Stephen would have appreciated knowing this before this book! Because that fact, plus the cover, will affect your expectations. More than the other two, Hideous Strength feels a weird hybrid. For instance, it begins on Earth and feels “grown-up,” even dull. Who is Mark Studdock and Jane? Why do we care about them? And where is Dr. Ransom and the creatures of books 1 and 2? But here Lewis is addressing some deep and personal enemies. One of them is the “inner ring” villain he writes about elsewhere. Call this “the room where it happens,” that seat of power. Right now some conspiracists claim to “expose” secret inner rings. Yet more often they're trying to make new “rings” themselves. This “normal,” subtle threat marks the first real evil of the story. Mark, a social-climbing sociologist, craves to reach this influence. Then he gets there … and discovers it's run by the greater threat. 2. A not-so-N.I.C.E. secular technocracy Enter the National Institute for Co-ordinated Experiments. It's a social movement, an actual autocratic state bent on power. They're all about science, social engineering, efficiency, machines. These theorists take the worst of evil ideologies and mix them up. And for Lewis, this represents the worst corruptions of academia. They destroy natural land like Saruman. Hijack history like IngSoc. And they take over newspapers in plain sight like any petty tyrant. Some have different aims/ideas, such as a truly scary revelation about what exactly has gone wrong with the sterility of the Moon. Others are so poisoned by elitism that they “naturally” fall into evil. That's why we call this a pre-political story. Yes, it's about politics and has overlapping theme, but is about the ideas beneath this. N.I.C.E.'s goal: the subjugation of the human race to macrobes. From here, Lewis finally explains the recurring visions of Jane Studdock (revealing the conspiracy) and a holy resistance order. And, lest there be any doubt, we soon learn the worst threat of all. 3. Devils vs. power to demolish strongholds At last, Dr. Ransom enters the story, leading a small diverse group. He's recruited Christian fellow academics, sure, but also one rather sympathetic skeptic, leading women, and working-class folks. Their enemy is not just flesh and blood, but dark spiritual powers. That's why we call Hideous Strength a true supernatural thriller. Astute readers will discern demonic activity behind the veil. That's no surprise for the author of The Screwtape Letters. Yet the activity is more subtle, in allusion, not overt like Peretti. Ultimately we discern the demons/humans spread their evil ideas in an area Lewis knew very well: the corruption of language. Words, meanings, symbols, translations are vital to this story. And perhaps it's no surprise that the ultimate battle is won not by weapons or even direct intrusions of magic, but by word powers. Clearly the author had in mind a certain Genesis 11 narrative! By the end, one hero utters this divine judgment: “Qui Verbum Dei contempserunt, eis auferetur etiam verbum hominis.” (Kee vehr-boom Deh-ee kon-temp-seh-roont, eh-ees ow-feh-reh-toor eh-tee-ahm vehr-boom ho-mee-nees) Translated: “They that have despised the word of God, from them shall the word of man also be taken away.” These villains “have pulled down Deep Heaven onto their heads.” Holy agents unite from the planets and the past to empower good. Lewis also brings in, quite overtly, his love for medieval cosmology and the planetary influences that are crucial to this universe. And now (with a reread) Stephen has experienced this story with delight like he had hoped, particularly with Lewis's latter head-hopping and fun-poking at the expense of N.I.C.E.'s evildoers. That Hideous Strength ends with startling eucatastrophe and celebration of biblical and based virtues, from cosmic to familial. It's no wonder the story has gained new fans in these similar days. Com station Top question for listeners Do you prefer demonic evil in fiction to be overt or subtle? Next on Fantastical Truth Well, we just talked about the first Chronicle of Narnia … the book! Yet many fans found or rediscovered this series thanks to the Disney-distributed, Walden Media–made film from director Andrew Adamson. Want to feel old? That was two decades ago! So now we shall look back at Narnia's journey to the box office with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which released twenty years ago on Dec. 9, 2005.

Well Dressed Nashville started in 2019 when Bonnie, a pediatric cancer nurse, saw an opportunity at an influencer closet sale. WD was supposed to be an in-person event, but when COVID hit before the first sale, she moved everything online and it took off. She built the business mostly alone, lost their 30k-follower Instagram in Oct 2022, rebuilt from zero, and had her best year in 2023 before burning out and planning to close. Bonnie had become close with Liz Streisand, a former celebrity journalist who ran a Broadway ticketing company with her husband Eric, a longtime hedge fund manager. After six months of rest, Bonnie texted Liz “Let’s do it,” and on July 4, 2024, Liz and Eric bought half the business. They relaunched WD out of their garage, moved into a warehouse in Jan 2025, and hit their yearly goal by August. In Sept 2025, Eric passed away after a five-year battle with lung cancer. Liz now shares how she and the kids are coping, while Bonnie shares her miraculous adoption story.In Nov, during their anniversary drop, Well Dressed Nashville hit $1 million in sales—a milestone powered by grit, reinvention, and heart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way. C. S. Lewis writes this story against the backdrop of war. Little children are shipped to the North of England, away from London bombings. Imagine the Pevensie children's fear and powerlessness, but also the power of a story like this to restore their hope. Isaiah 2:1–5 is also a text of hope against the backdrop of war. One is coming who will "judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore."

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team opens with an In the News, and this one definitely raised a few eyebrows. Skims had unveiled faux hair micro-string thongs; yes, essentially their take on the classic merkin, and the collection sold out almost instantly. The crew embarks on their usual sense of humor with this unexpected launch that created quite a stir. From there, the focus shifts to foundation wear, the unsung hero of every great outfit. The team dives into the essentials of bras, shapewear, and all the behind-the-scenes pieces that determine whether you feel comfortable and confident throughout the day. They walk through the questions everyone should be asking about fit, shape, and support, and share firsthand experiences with brands they've tried, loved, and learned from. It's a practical, candid, and surprisingly entertaining look at the part of style no one sees but everyone feels. Here for all your style needs, inside and out.

It's officially release day for The Wardrobe Project (in Australia, anyway!). Rest of world, you're only about a week or so away!

On this episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team kicks off the conversation with Pamela's “In the News” update, highlighting Manolo Blahnik's Marie Antoinette Capsule Collection. Think opulence, history, and a touch of whimsical extravagance, exactly the kind of fashion moment that sets the tone for a lively discussion. From there, the crew turns to the style myths that continue to swirl their way through closets everywhere. From the belief that black is always slimming to the notion that neutrals magically go with everything, the team unpacks the rules, the rumors, and the long-standing fashion fiction that still influences how people get dressed. As always, the style team brings clarity and humor to the table, proving that modern style isn't about following outdated advice, but about understanding proportion, personality, and the choices that make you feel confident. A fresh take on familiar myths, a little couture history, and plenty of fashion wisdom make this, another fun and insightful episode. Stay stylish

This week in worship, we are reminded that we should be living in a state of gratitude. It is so easy to see the struggles and the burdens, which make it very hard to see the blessings. But Paul reminds us to live with gratitude, because when we give thanks, we are choosing to see the world as a place filled with God's generosity. Come to worship this week as we build a new wardrobe out of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness.

We now come to the gold standard of Narnia adaptations! Andrew's wife, Dr. Christin Ditchfield Lazo, joins us to discuss the BBC adaptation of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".[Show Notes]

After a recap of the Jets situation, we hear Jerry Recco's call for the Cowboys' victory over the Raiders, but Boomer slams his attire, claiming his tie looked like it was snagged at a yard sale.

In this episode, Ophira Eisenberg talks with author and parent coach Kerri Maher (aka. Kerri Smith–Maher and also Kerri Majors) about the many names she has published under, the publishing-industry lunch where her team rejected both “Smith” and “Pasqualetti” for SEO reasons, and why she ultimately adopted her grandmother's maiden name as her pen name. Kerri recalls handwriting her first unfinished novel on her dad's yellow legal pads—an early story about a girl and her blind best friend—before sharing how childhood surgeries and months of immobility pushed her toward reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and imagining her way into writing. She and Ophira compare their kids' school experiences, including Kerri's daughter moving to an all-girls high school after a discussion about the “confidence gap,” and they trade notes on raising book-loving but highly specific readers. Kerri also explains how she discovered the Jane Collective through an NPR segment, pitched “the Jane novel” long before Dobbs, and watched the publishing world suddenly accelerate its enthusiasm for a feminist protest story. The conversation wraps with Kerri admitting her daughter refuses to read her novels and Ophira celebrating that Kerri's kid once described Spirit Airlines as an airline that “steals your spirit.”

" We're evolving the [escape room] experience towards something that's more theatrical, with puzzling, gaming, and immersive art all together." Magnifico is currently (as of November 2025) the top escape room in the world, as voted on by experienced escape room enthusiasts. For 2.5 hours, we were transported to another world where magic is real and anything is possible. This game was a culmination of Escaparium's signature style: epically sized and meticulously built sets with large-scale puzzles that involve the whole team, and meaningful stories told through both gameplay and theatrical moments featuring live actors. Jonathan Driscoll and Sacha St. Denis are the owners and driving force behind Escaparium, in Laval, Canada (just outside of Montreal). Since their previous appearance on REPOD, they've cemented their spot as one of the top companies in world. Last year, in 2024, they captured the #1 and #3 spots on the TERPECA rankings, with their games Magnifico and Forgotten Cathedral, respectively. Wardrobe for Sale ranked at #14, and Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen ranked at #37 in the world. It's clearly not a fluke. Escaparium is consistently creating world-class games, year after year, and when they're not busy opening new games, they're renovating and remodeling old experiences. Rain Corp. has been given a make-over into Ctrl Alt Reboot. They are also overhauling their lobby once again, creating an immersive bar experience featuring a crashed space ship. Jonathan and Sacha joined us to talk about their new games, what's driving them, and where they're getting inspiration. My biggest takeaway from this conversation was that they are very involved in the escape room community and industry. They are constantly traveling and playing games. They attend every convention. For them, it's always about the details. If even one small detail inspires their next idea, Jonathan says it's gold. That's the mindset they instill in their whole team as well.   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

What if packing for an 11-day trip felt calm, simple, and a little bit stylish? We walk through a clear, repeatable system that keeps your bag light and your options wide, blending the minimalist mindset of Project 333 with a traveler's 5-4-3-2-1 framework. You'll learn how to pick a base color, add two smart accent shades, and build mix-and-match outfits that shift from city walks to evening plans without overstuffing your suitcase.We break down real choices for tops, bottoms, and shoes, including when three pairs make sense and when two will do. You'll hear how to design a travel outfit that works both ways on your flights, manage liquids without stress, and decide what belongs in your bag versus what you can buy on arrival. We also get tactical: laying everything out to check combinations, using packing cubes for compression and organization, and leaving room for souvenirs so you can say yes to that market treasure. Comfort leads every decision, so you'll actually wear what you pack.Before signing off, we preview what's ahead: a short break for the Thanksgiving week, two December episodes revealing the secret 11-day trip and specific recommendations, plus a look at 2026 solo travel destinations that are safe and exciting for women. There's also an invite to a curated wellness cruise on the Danube in late August 2026, with excursions included and planning support ready to go.

In this fascinating episode, Elisabeth speaks with Jo Katsaras, a world-renowned Costume Designer whose visionary work has graced some of Hollywood's beloved films and series.Born in Cyprus, Jo moved to South Africa at the age of five — a cultural fusion that would later define her unique artistic style. Growing up in vibrant 1970s Johannesburg, Jo's creative journey began early. She spent her childhood summers in Cyprus, cutting fabric scraps from her aunt's sewing projects to make dresses for her dolls. By the time she was a teenager, she was already cutting patterns around her friends, driven by an instinctive flair for design.After studying at the National School of Arts in Johannesburg, Jo briefly considered architecture but decided instead to explore the world, a decision that ultimately shaped her creative destiny. At her father's insistence, she pursued a qualification in fashion, completing a three-year diploma in just one year thanks to her extraordinary talent.Jo's career began in the fashion industry as a Senior Designer, but her passion for storytelling through clothing soon drew her to the world of film. Her debut as a Costume Designer came with the South African box office hit There's a Zulu on My Stoep (Yankee Zulu internationally), and from there, her rise was nothing short of meteoric.She went on to design for acclaimed international productions including:

What did we do differently at times in our lives when we were less cluttered? What's good advice for staying organized and decluttered while traveling? Is it still a “capsule wardrobe” if you just happen to wear only a small number of items?

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we kick things off with a classic, but not in the way you'd expect. Bec brings us the latest trend watch: "Americana Reboot." Think Rebel Without a Cause, but swap James Dean for James Clean. We're talking aged Levi's, cowboy boots, and fresh-faced mustaches. It's rugged vintage meets sterile chic; and not just on celebs, but in everyday style scenes you might not expect. Turns out, you can bring the wild west to the workplace, hold the dust. Then we're back at it with Part 2 of your most pressing wardrobe woes, because last week's listener questions left us wanting more. First up: how do you make a shirt and tie combo look cool without resorting to a neck tattoo? We've got the layers, textures, and attitude to pull it off. Next, flannel shirts. Is it possible to wear them without looking like you time traveled straight from 1992 Seattle? Spoiler: yes, and we'll tell you how. We also ironed out coat conundrums, how to bring skinny jeans back with confidence, and of course, more of your style SOS messages; answered with our signature mix of insight and irreverence. Keep it stylish!

From Goodwill to runway glam, this week's episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe kicks off with a viral fashion fairytale. Designer Evan Hursh turned a thrift-store dress into custom couture and set off a chain reaction of upcycled elegance, proving that sustainable fashion and style creativity are a match made in Goodwill heaven. After plenty of "oh wow" moments and DIY daydreams, the team trades dresses for designer soles as we take a deep dive into this season's Fall/Winter 2025 shoe trends for both men and women. On the menswear front: loafers are still having their (80-year!) moment, split-toe shoes are splitting opinions, and sleek Chelsea and cowboy boots are riding in hot. Bonus: the dad sneaker is officially stepping back in favor of its "slimmer, chicer cousin." Ladies, lace up! Derby shoes and brogues are making a statement, red and brown suede is bringing the heat, and slouchy boots are back with a vengeance. And as for sky-high stilettos and studs? Let's just say the team voted studs all the way, no contest. Tune in for witty banter, game-changing inspiration, and the kind of style advice that'll have your wardrobe thanking you later. Happy Styling!

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we laced up (literally) with a brand-new trend; the "Sneakerina." It's the unexpected mashup of a sneaker and a ballet flat, proving you can plié and power-walk your way through fashion. We're still debating whether you should wear them to dance class or brunch, but one thing's for sure: they're trying to make the balletcore trend  street-chic. Then came the collective gasp, MTV has retired several of its music channels after 40 years. Goodbye MTV Music, MTV 80s, and so many style-driven moments from our youth. Naturally, that sparked a whole trip down memory lane for the team, complete with music video fashion flashbacks. With nostalgia behind us, we jumped into something just as iconic: your style questions. One listener wondered how to hang onto beloved wardrobe pieces after losing weight; don't worry, we've got tailored solutions for that. Another was stuck in denim limbo, saying big pants feel too young but skinny jeans feel too dated, yes, we've found a stylish in-between. As always, no question's too big, no wardrobe headache too small. This episode is packed with practical, fun, and confidence boosting style advice; just what your closet ordered. Happy Styling!

Many of you will already know that I am a huge fan of The Chronicles of Narnia. Today, I want to introduce my fellow Narnia lovers to a new book that jumped right off the shelf as soon as I saw it. Giant is a middle-grade novel by debut author Judith McQuoid where we meet Davy, a fictional working class boy from East Belfast, Ireland who is sent to work in the wealthy Lewis household in 1908. There, he forges a friendship with Jacks–as C.S. Lewis was known to his friends and family–over books, stories, and building worlds of imagination and adventure.Giant is a must-read for Narnia fans that adds a whole new depth of experience to C.S. Lewis's world and will help you read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in a fresh way. And today, I'm chatting with the author about what inspired her to write the book, how much of the story is fictionalized, and how the process of writing the book shaped her identity. And you're going to love her Irish accent! In this episode, you'll hear: The way her dad's love of Narnia and Lewis's Belfast heritage inspired Judith to write this story How Judith started with a “skeleton” draft and added layers of detail and depth with revisionsThe faith that carried Judith through the ups and downs of creating GiantLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/judith-mcquoid Order Flora and the Jazzers by Astrid Sheckels!
