If your clothes could express something you don’t normally say out loud, what would you want them to say?

Take Up Space. 3 days. 3 free audio conversations. A different way to think about your style.

I created this to help you get to the real answer of this question:

Whose opinion are you dressing for?

Because somewhere along the way many of us picked up a set of rules about how we’re supposed to dress, but we rarely stop to ask who made those rules.

Maybe you’ve said:
“I’m too old for that.”
“That’s too much for me.”
“I couldn’t wear that to work.”
“That would draw attention to my body.”
“I should probably dress more professionally.”
“People might think I’m trying too hard.”

And maybe those thoughts feel like your opinions. But are they?

Or are they expectations you’ve absorbed over the years about what a woman your age, in your position, with your body should dress like?

Here’s what I know to be true.
You can’t create a style that truly represents you if you’re constantly editing yourself through someone else’s expectations.

Style isn’t just about choosing clothes. It’s about knowing what you want to express. That’s why I created the Take Up Space audio series.

Not to give you more style rules, but to help you question the ones you already have. Over 3 days we’ll explore the beliefs, expectations and habits that can shape the way you dress - often without you even realizing it.

Each day you’ll get:
✅ an audio conversation (a new perspective on your style).
✅ a reflection prompt (something to think about).
✅ a simple action (one small thing to try).

🚫 No shopping.
🚫 No body-shape rules.
🚫 No “flattering” formulas.

Just 3 days to start looking at your style - and yourself - differently.
Listen when it suits you. Reflect in your own time.

Taking up space isn’t about being louder. It’s about giving yourself permission to be seen as the woman you are now.

Not: “What should I wear?”
Ask: “What do I want my style to say about me now?”

The woman you are today probably isn’t the one you were five, ten or fifteen years ago. Your career, confidence, priorities, lifestyle, body and identity have all evolved.

But most women don’t consciously evolve their style alongside them. They simply keep buying clothes that fit the life they used to have and that’s when things can start to feel off.

You have more confidence, more experience, a clearer sense of who you are but your wardrobe isn’t saying any of that. That’s why creating more impact with your style isn’t really about buying better clothes. It starts with understanding yourself better.

What has changed?
What matters to you now?
How do you want to be seen?
What are you ready to stop dressing around?

When your style catches up with who you are, things shift. Getting dressed feels more intuitive. Your outfits feel more aligned - and you start taking up space in a way that feels completely your own.

That’s why I’ve created Take Up Space, a 3-part audio series designed to help you look at your style - and yourself - through a different lens. Go from second-guessing your style to trusting your own point of view.

No shopping.
No body-shape rules.
No “flattering” formulas.

Many women don’t bother getting dressed intentionally when they’re working from home because nobody really sees them. But here’s something to consider: getting dressed isn’t just about being seen. It’s also about practice.

The more often you default to leggings, sweats and whatever’s comfortable, the easier it becomes to lose the habit of getting dressed with intention.

In the words of one client who works from home a lot: “I went to the event and I realized I’ve lost my sense of how to get dressed.”

If you only exercise your style when you leave the house, you’re not giving yourself much opportunity to develop it and it can become so much harder to recognize, express and trust you own sense of style.

The truth is, getting dressed with intention is a muscle and I believe we should use it often.

Putting outfits together, trying a new lip colour, getting used to seeing yourself in pattern or a different silhouette - all of that allows you to exercise that muscle, even when your day consists of Zoom calls, answering emails and eating lunch in your own kitchen.

Take if from me: Style develops over time through repetition, experimentation, trying things, changing your mind and gradually building a clearer sense of what feels like you - and what might feel like you with a little more confidence.

So don’t think of getting dressed at home as making an effort for the sake of it. Think of it as building continuity and staying connected to your style, even on the days when no one else sees it.

If you feel like you’ve lost touch with your own sense of style, that’s exactly where my work begins.

Most people think they’re paying a styling professional for better outfits. And yes, of course, better outfits are part of the deal. But in my work, the real value is somewhere else.

The clothes are the visible part. Underneath that are the answers to much bigger questions.

❓Who am I now?
❓What do I want people to see when I walk into a room?
❓What parts of me have I been hiding behind what feels safe, familiar or appropriate?
❓What is no longer true?
❓And perhaps most importantly, what am I ready to give myself permission to do differently?

I can help you understand proportion. I can find you a great pair of trousers. I can show you how to put an outfit together in a way you may never have considered before.

But the reason those things work is because we start with YOU.

Your personality. Your life. Your values. Your ambitions. Your preferences. The version of yourself you are today, and sometimes the version you’re about to step into.

When you understand yourself better, you become far more intentional about how you show up.

You stop asking: “Does this look good on me?”
And start asking: “Does this feel like me?”

For me, that’s the real work.

The better outfits are just the evidence.

If this idea resonates with you , stay tuned. Later this month, I’m going to offer you a chance to experience this side of my work - the self-awareness, the questions, and the process of getting clearer on who you are now and how you want to show up. More to come.

Style isn’t a problem you solve once. It’s something you continue to evolve as you do.

In the last 48 hours three women have reached out to work with me. While they are all at different stages in their style journey, each one of them understands the value of doing this work.

The first is just beginning. She’s about to embark on my Signature Style Coaching program, and I’m so excited to work with her. She’s decided to stop trying to figure it all out on her own and to give herself the time, attention and support to understand who she is now, how she wants to show up and what she wants her style to say about her.

The second worked with me earlier this year. We did some identity work and personal shopping and now she’s back because she’s ready to go deeper and tackle her wardrobe for Fall.

The third completed my Signature Style Coaching program last year and is coming back for a style update. “Your help really was life changing. People have been saying I carry myself very differently and I genuinely love how I feel in what I wear.”

I’m equally excited about each one of these women. One is just getting started. One has experienced enough to know there’s more to explore. And one has experienced first-hand the impact this work can have, and wants to keep building on it.

All at different stages of their style journey, and each one understands this work is about so much more than clothes. The way she dresses is connected to something bigger: how she sees herself, how she feels and the version of herself she wants to put forward.

One of the things I love most about this work is that there isn’t one ‘right’ time to do it. Sometimes you’re ready to begin. Sometimes you’re ready to go deeper. And sometimes you know the work is worth coming back to.

Regardless of what stage you’re at, style is a part of your evolution. When you’re ready to evolve further, I’d love to help you!

You can be incredibly capable and still get overlooked if you don’t make your ambition visible.

Four words that changed the trajectory of my career?

“I’m ready for more.”

I remember the exact moment I said those words to my boss. He’d stopped by my office for a casual drop-in, and as he turned to leave, those 4 words blurted out of my mouth.

He smiled knowingly.

As I look back now, I realize that moment wasn’t just about asking for an opportunity, it was about making my ambition visible. You can spend years delivering results and developing your skills and earning trust, but still lose out on the opportunity to the person who positioned themselves for it.

Something I have observed in many of the women I connect with today.....they wait for the role before they allow themselves to show up like the person who is ready for it. But I don’t believe leadership begins when the title arrives. It begins with how you see yourself, and how you choose to show up.

This is where style becomes strategic. Your wardrobe is a tool to reinforce the identity you’ve chosen to step into, making your capability, confidence and ambition clear to see.

We’re not talking about faking it.
We’re talking about making your chosen identity visible.

And showing up on your terms.

➡️ If you’re ready to be seen differently, reach out and let’s chat about what that could look like.

Most people think confidence comes from finally fixing the thing they’ve always hated.

My experience has been the opposite.

For years, I saw myself through the lens of the one thing I wished I could change.  The scars on my face, left by teenage acne. That single perceived flaw became the filter through which I judged everything about myself.

I was representing brands I was incredibly proud to work for - leading presentations, standing in front of clients, giving media interviews, getting promotions, winning awards – internally wondering if all they were seeing was my skin, because that filtered how I saw myself.

I spent way too much time wondering if my message took a backseat to what people saw when they looked at me.  Were they listening to what I was saying, or were they too preoccupied with my face?

And it didn’t stop at work.  I kept love at arm’s length and didn’t date seriously until I was well into my thirties.  Partly because I couldn’t imagine someone looking past what I couldn’t stop seeing in myself.

Somewhere along the way, I realized the loudest voice judging my skin wasn’t anyone else’s but mine.  I was tired of letting one part of me dictate how I felt about all of me.  So I deliberately began to practise a different way of seeing myself.  Instead of agonizing about what I wished I could change, I focused more on what I genuinely like about myself – physically and personally.  Bit by bit, the scars stopped being the headline of my story.

I look in the mirror today and I still see my scars. But they’re not the only thing I see anymore. And that lens has changed far more than how I see my reflection, it has changed how I show up in the world. Choosing to see my character and my strengths before my perceived imperfections has honestly been one of the greatest acts of self-leadership in my life.

Deep down, I know this is why I am so passionate about helping women show up on their terms. Everyone has their own version of acne scars. People assume I help women improve their style. But what I’m really doing is helping them see themselves through a kinder, truer lens.

When you change the way you see yourself, everything changes for you.

I help them realize they never needed it.

This week I had one of those moments where you realize something, that in hindsight, feels painfully obvious.

➡️ I had the agency to make the decision all along.

The only thing stopping me? I was waiting to trust in my own thinking.

It took my mentor holding up a mirror and saying: “You already know.”

She didn’t give me permission. She simply reflected back what had been there all along - my own ability to make the call.

That’s the thing I keep coming back to in my work with women.

The goal is never to give them another set of rules to follow.

It’s to help them understand themselves, understand the principles, and trust themselves enough to decide what works for them.

When you have that clarity, the questions start to change.

Instead of:

“Should I wear this?”
“Am I too old?”
“Is this appropriate?”
“Will people judge me?”

You start asking:

“Do I like it?”
“Does it represent who I am?”
“Does this feel like me?”

That’s the shift.

Like I learned this week, we often have more agency than we realize. The answer isn’t always finding someone else to validate the decision. It’s trusting ourselves enough to make it, because the most powerful permission you’ll ever receive isn’t something someone else gives you.

It’s the permission you give yourself.

This is the work I love most - helping women reconnect with their own judgement so they can make decisions with clarity and confidence - in their wardrobe and beyond.
