The Sartorial Paradigm: Reclaiming Your Career Narrative Series

Chapter 1 | Building the Door Instead of Knocking Recently, a well-known entrepreneur and media personality generated a firestorm of online discourse by labeling work-from-home (WFH) as a "career killer" for women. The core argument put forth was that "proximity is currency", and if you aren’t physically in the room, you simply are not in line for the promotion. While that concept holds weight if your singular goal is climbing a traditional, pre-existing corporate ladder, it ignores a deeper, much more systemic reality....

The Introvert’s Sanctuary: Why AI Might Just Be a Soul Partner for the Social Introvert | Vol. 3, Issue 12

If you met me on a given afternoon, you probably wouldn’t peg me as an introvert. I am what I like to call a social introvert. I love people. I love engaging, styling, motivating, and filling up the cups of the brilliant women who cross my path. I’m quite good at it, actually. But here is the truth behind the curtain: at the end of the day, after all that giving, my cup is empty....

South Side vibrant hearts,
Culture, art, and family…
Joy lives in this space.

Haiku Poem, by Felicia Clotworthy

Spent a moving, reflective, and incredibly fun day at the Obama Presidential Center. It was a beautiful day of history, inspiration, and community. So grateful that the South Side and all of Chicago have this phenomenal space where families can gather and communities come together.

A huge, extra special shoutout to my amazing sister, Monica Swope! Not only did she secure our preview tickets, but she and her team at Learning Dimensions have been doing incredible work within the OPC education department—writing the very curriculum for the exhibits you see and conducting training sessions for the museum staff. Seeing her name right there on the wall of recognition was the absolute highlight of the day!

Thank you Barack and Michelle for this gift. Monica Swope (Founder/CEO) keep doing the amazing work - local, national, and global.

The Case for Comfort and the Green Tabi: Pivoting with Style | Vol. 3, Issue 11

At the age of 55, I’ve had a revelation that I'm calling “The Case for Comfort and the Green Tabi.” I shared a bit of that truth on my social channels some weeks ago. The premise was simple: "Happiness is wearing comfortable shoes when you have a long workday." In this case, those shoes happened to be my fabulous, deep green patent leather Tabi (the "split-toe" shoes...if you know, you know)....

I have had the amazing opportunity to recognize, ponder and live trusting the “Un-Process” and leaning into the psychology of style as my catalyst for my pivot.
