My friends … you are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this week’s episode with the legendary wardrobe alchemist, Ms. Lisa Raja.🎙️**

Why would I be talking about clothing on this podcast?

Because I’m tired of the way caring about clothing and fashion is still dismissed as being “vain” or “superficial.”

As a communication coach, I help visionary leaders become spellbinding communicators. And, as you may already know, part of that work focuses on language and messaging, but part of that work focuses on energy, and confidence, and authenticity.

And guess what’s a big part of the confidence game? FEELING GOOD IN OUR OWN SKIN.

It’s for exactly this reason that I'll often connect a client with a talented stylist. Because how we feel about ourselves is reflected in how comfortable we are in our second skin.

Lisa Raja shares her powerful way of working with her clients—by creating an algorithm for their wardrobes.

We discuss:

• A weekly ritual for setting yourself up with easy, beautiful looks all week long (thereby avoiding the “why do I have NOTHING to wear??” feeling).
• How clothing can be used strategically as a form of confidence building and claiming your power!
• How to construct a capsule wardrobe out of what you already have, and how to be more mindful in your retail adventures.

But best of all, we get PRACTICAL and TACTICAL about the styles and looks we’re loving right now.

And because I know y’all love clothing links (the stats don’t lie! LOL), here are all of the items we discussed …

• Slip dresses are back, y’all. Here are a few options … pair ‘em with a blazer, a chunky sweater, or even layer them over a turtleneck or t-shirt:
  • L’Agence Serita Dress in Black
  • Quince Washable Stretch Silk Tank Midi Dress
• The basic black trousers that work for work, but are cute enough for anything. Are you feeling more of a cropped vibe? These are great too.
• The Adidas Gazelles that I wear nonstop, all the time. Or if those are too zany, you really can’t go wrong with these in white.
• Gorjana for lovely, on trend jewelry that doesn’t break the bank.
• My favorite go-to brand for “keynote worthy” outfits … Scanlan Theodore
• My newest jean obsession … The Secret Sauce: Memory Lane Jean

**Dedicated to my beloved Lisa Wamboldt, who we lost on February 4th of this year. Lisa “Shortcake” Wamboldt has been a blessing in my life since 1998, and I could never in a million years have imagined that her life would only continue until 2024. Lisa was hilarious, brilliant, kind, and real. Our lives are so much darker without her in them. Lisa, wherever you are, please keep sending your pixie dust to those of us still stuck down here without you.

In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting her family here.
