A lot of the time, we can hold ourselves back in our style, business and life, because we often worry about seeking the approval of others. The little girl inside of us is often making sure we "fit in" and are loved and accepted by our peers – so often time that can come in the form of self sabotage in making sure that our aesthetic, tastes and desire don't seem 'too far out there' to others. This is something that comes up a lot in my classes. Women share with me that their partners, friends, or family have made comments about what they wear – and instantly go from a high energy, feel good place, to one of disappointment and vulnerable. I'm going to talk about how to embrace getting dressed for yourself and why it's important you choose yourself over others in style (and life). You will feel powerful when you magnify your essence in your clothing. It's okay that your style isn't like everyone else's – that's what style is all about. Remember that. People commenting doesn't mean anything about YOU – it's about them. Hubby is different than me It's okay to set-up boundaries and tell people it's not okay to comment. This increases you feeling empowered and embracing YOU. Join me on Instagram @ChristieRessel, YouTube, or Facebook.
