Have you ever felt like you were holding yourself back? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Tara Mohr, the bestselling author of "Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create, and Lead." Together, we dive deep into why so many of us (yes, me included!) find ourselves "playing small" in both our professional and personal lives.
From staying quiet in meetings to talking ourselves out of opportunities, we explore how these patterns show up in everything we do – even in our style choices! As someone who's personally been transformed by Tara's work, I couldn't wait to bring her wisdom to the Everyday Style community and explore how playing small impacts everything from our careers to our closets.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why even successful women often find themselves "playing small" and the surprising ways this shows up in our everyday lives. How to recognize the difference between our inner critic and our inner mentor. The fascinating connection between personal style and playing big – and how what we wear can actually help us step into our full potential. How to recognize when you're talking yourself out of opportunities, whether it's in the boardroom or your bedroom closet. Real strategies from Tara's internationally acclaimed Playing Big leadership program that you can start using today to show up more confidently in all areas of your lifeI hope this episode helps you recognize those moments when you're playing small and gives you the courage to step into your full potential – whether that's speaking up in meetings, rocking that bold outfit you've been afraid to wear, or finally going after that big dream you've been keeping quiet. If I can go from being too afraid to reach out to my dream podcast guest to having this amazing conversation with Tara, just imagine what you can do when you decide to play big!

I'm also breaking down how they stack up when it comes to saving time, saving money, building a quality wardrobe, and building a stylish wardrobe.
I hope these tips inspire you to be thoughtful about the way you shop, so you can end up with a wardrobe that's perfect for you.

One of my pet peeves is experts who appear to know it all and never struggle. And in our Instagram-filtered world, this is only getting worse. But guess what? Everyone has their off days!

Because of that, today I'm sharing my personal style struggles and the steps I'm taking to overcome them.

How to build a more satisfying and functional wardrobe by identifying the reasons behind your style struggles.Your wardrobe should be a source of joy and confidence.

"Style is for everybody and every body" is one of the core values here at Everyday Style. However, we know that, in a society that often dictates beauty standards based on size and shape, we can all feel left out of the conversation at times.
In this conversation with stylist Katie Winnin, we talked about the challenges faced by plus size women in the fashion industry. Katie shared how her personal journey as a plus size woman influenced her career as a stylist dedicated to empowering the plus size community.
Katie highlighted the common mistakes plus size women can make when it comes to style, and emphasized the need to explore personal style rather than blindly following trends. She also addressed the misconception that cute clothes are not available for plus size women, challenging the idea that certain body sizes are not deserving of fashionable clothing.
We delved into the reasons why plus size women may hesitate to invest in their personal style, including waiting to achieve a certain body size. Katie emphasized the importance of self-acceptance and breaking free from societal norms that dictate what is considered fashionable for different body sizes.
Even if you aren't plus size, this conversation is a reminder that style is not limited by size or shape, and everyone deserves to feel confident and beautiful in the clothes they wear.
In This Episode:
Katie's personal journey in the fashion industry The challenges plus size women can face in finding clothing that fits well and represents their own style due to limited options in stores. The importance of representation in the fashion industry. Common style mistakes that plus size women can make, including mirroring someone else's style too closely and only dressing for trends.

I’ve talked many times before about how you can dress for the day you want to have, and how you can use your wardrobe to help reach your goals. And while I know without a shadow of a doubt that the clothes you wear can be an incredibly powerful tool when used deliberately, I know there are things your wardrobe simply can't do.
In my styling career, I've tried to be mindful of setting realistic expectations for clients. My goal is about celebrating your current self while working towards the life you want.
Remember, your wardrobe is a tool to enhance your journey, not a magic wand to change who you are. Nonetheless, there are some powerful ways your clothes can impact your life.
So, let's set some expectations straight and explore the magic of dressing well, as I share three things your wardrobe can and can’t do for you.
In This Episode:
Some amazing feedback from a member of the Style Circle community. Clothes can enhance your mood, not replace professional help. Buying new clothes won't magically transform you into a different person. Your actions and mindset matter more than the clothes you wear. Realistic expectations about what your wardrobe can do for your body are crucial for embracing your unique style journey.As I mentioned in the show, this summer we are doing a series in the members-only podcast, sharing simple tips to dress your most challenging body parts. The Extra Credit podcast is just one of the incredible benefits of being a Stye Circle member - find out more and join our community, because this is one series that you don't want to miss.

If you've listened to more than one episode of this podcast, you'll know that I talk a lot about being intentional about the clothes you buy and wear. In particular, I discuss getting dressed with intention and being purposeful about honing and developing your style.
However, there's another aspect of style where intentionality is essential—and it's one that often gets overlooked—and that’s wardrobe building. Have you ever considered the process you use to get clothes into your closet?
In my experience, most people naturally adopt one of two wardrobe-building strategies: hunting (shopping with a plan) or gathering (browsing for pieces that catch their eye).
With that in mind, in this episode, I present the pros and cons of each approach, detailing scenarios where hunting and gathering are recommended.
Is one approach truly better than the other? Listen to the episode to find out!

Have you been harmed by traditional body shape advice? I think most of us have in one way or another, leaving us feeling confused or dissatisfied with our natural shape.
The truth is, this type of advice leaves a lot to be desired. Today I dive deep into the flaws in traditional body shape advice and offer a fresh perspective on dressing for your body shape.
For one thing, traditional body shape advice often focuses solely on flattery. However, it's crucial to consider how clothing items fit your unique body shape rather than just how they look. Remember, as I've said many times before, it's not you, it's the pants!
Instead of using body shape advice to hide parts of your body you don't like, try celebrating the parts you love first. Dressing your body should start from a place of highlighting your best features rather than disguising what you perceive as flaws.
Listen to the full episode for more valuable insights and tips on modernizing your approach to dressing for your body shape.
As mentioned in the episode, this year I've already held several free mini-classes, with more planned. The invitations are exclusively sent through email, so if you want to come to these free classes, sign up here and also receive our mini capsule wardrobe guide.
In This Episode:
The problem with body shape advice that focuses on flattery and appearance, and why it's equally important to consider fit for different body shapes. A reminder that dressing your body should start from a place of highlighting your best features rather than disguising what you perceive as flaws. How magazines often generalize body shapes, failing to acknowledge the uniqueness of individual bodies and clothing items. How to experiment with styling to make clothing work for your body shape, as no single item exists in a vacuum.

We've all been there--that moment you're tired of feeling blah or frumpy, and you're ready to have better style. If you're like most women, you do one of a few things: a) go shopping, b) clean out your closet, or c) hire someone to help you. And those are all good things.
But style doesn't actually start there. At least lasting style doesn't. Better style starts in your mind. One thing I've said over and over is that what's in your head is more important than what's in your closet.
How you think about style, what it means, and how much it matters goes a long way in making style easier and your intentions stick.
Until your mind is ready for better style, your daily practices will probably feel like a bore...and a chore. Once your mindset shifts to believe that you and your efforts are worth it, style becomes easier, and dare I say it? Maybe even a little fun.
In this episode, I'm sharing a few things super stylish women believe, not just do. So, before you hit the stores or empty your entire closet, make sure you spend a little time getting your mind in the right place.
If you want better style, but haven't been able to actually get started---or you struggle to consistently love the way you look, this one's for you!
In this episode:
Four things super stylish women believe Why relying on confidence won't help you get started How to quiet the voice in your head that says, "What will they think?"

Today, we're looking at some of the countless style typing systems on the internet, each one promising an easy way for us to get dressed and love the results. But do they actually help, or do they leave us feeling more confused than we were before?
I've got some issues with these highly specific, incredibly detailed typing systems, but if they've worked for you, I'm thrilled!
In this episode, I talk about my personal experiences with one of the more high-profile systems, The Kibbe Body Type System. This is an array of thirteen style types based largely on a person's balance of yin and yang. After spending hours exploring this system, I was hopelessly lost and confused!
We also touch on some of the other systems that often use random questions that don't seem to connect, leaving you more puzzled than anything else. Like, what do my curly hair and cuticle shape have to do with the colors I should buy?
In order to actually make style easier, I've developed my own method for identifying your body shape. I call it the L.O.O.K method. It's revolutionary.
In This Episode:
The challenges and limitations of some of the more common style types What these systems lack--and what it means for you Why I talk about the 4 Body Shapes My revolutionary "L.O.O.K. Method", a simple and effective approach to understanding your body shape Why learning how to dress yourself and understanding your own body is more valuable than relying on a specific typing system.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/whats-your-type
