Find out how correct styling can impact your career in the music business and change people's perceptions about you.
But that's not all. We also talk about tough times as Donna shares her inspirational battle with breast cancer and the role her faith and spirituality played in keeping her grounded and real. We talk God, glamour, faith, music and spirituality in this seriously-funny episode and last but not least we discover why you only wear 20% of what's in your wardrobe!
