There’s a Portal in Your Bedroom
Would you believe me if I told you there’s a portal in your bedroom? It’s disguised as a “closet,” but trust me, it’s much more than that. If you open your closet doors, you’ll find stories: the corporate suit that represents trying to fit into a box, the “someday” jeans waiting for you to lose the weight, or the fast fashion that screams scarcity mindset.
Your clothes aren't just fabric, they’re the physical manifestation of your beliefs about yourself.
When you let those stories stay for too long, it becomes difficult to start a new chapter. When what you wear doesn’t reflect who you’re becoming or where you’re going, you’re constantly pulling from a portal in the past, and you wonder why you feel so stuck.
The Power of Soul Styling
Soul styling is so much more than what you’re putting on your body. Through my Style Awakenings process, I guide clients to reconnect with their inner essence (prosperous, joyful, abundant), help them to remember who they are, clarify what they want to create in their lives, and define the style that helps them fully step into it.
I teach my clients to dress for who they are becoming and for the life they are creating until they inevitably become an energetic match by being that version of themselves inside and out.
Most people approach style backwards with an “if this, then that” mindset:
“If I get the promotion, then I’ll dress like a boss.”
But to become the next version of yourself, you must act as if now. Otherwise, you’ll keep pushing what you want into the abyss of “someday.”
Step Into Your Vision
The first phase in discovering your Soul Style is about vision, realizing how your style can accelerate the process of stepping into your dream life with confidence.
The reality is, you have those dreams because they’re already in existence. It’s up to you to live as if they’re already coming true, likely in ways better than you can imagine.
And a massive part, dare I say the most important part, of realizing your dreams is how you show up day to day. It’s the consistency. Ask yourself:
How are you showing up mentally, emotionally, and physically? What are your daily thoughts and words?
How’s your energy? Are you dressing as the person who already has what you desire?
Are you dressing like the CEO or the person who just closed the huge client?
Or are you waiting until it happens to believe and start dressing the part…
Create Your Soul Style: Start With the Goal
Your first step in creating your Soul Style is to get clear on your core goal. Maybe it’s business-related or something deeply personal.
Whatever is weighing heaviest on your heart, focus there. Close your eyes and feel into it.
What will it mean once it’s achieved? How does it impact your life and your family’s life?
Dress the Vision
Now imagine waking up tomorrow morning and realizing your goal has come true. Your vision has become a reality. As you get dressed, fully embodying this next version of yourself, what are you wearing?
Are there specific colors, prints, or silhouettes? How does the fabric feel on your skin? How do you show up as this version of yourself?
Take some time to journal or pull images on Pinterest. Get your vision out of your head and turn it into a physical form.
Choose Your Confidence Piece
Your next step is to choose one piece in your current closet, or something new to purchase, that represents this next-level self.
Maybe it’s a red blazer that’s been sitting untouched or a pair of leather pants you’ve been eyeing. Let it become your confidence piece, your power piece, a reminder of the vision you've been manifesting.
When you begin dressing from this place, your energy shifts. You start to magnetize what you truly desire.Style becomes more than what you wear, it becomes an expression of who you are now and an invitation to step into who you are becoming.
My mission is to revolutionize style as a powerful tool to create a massive life transformation. Let your closet become the portal that opens you to everything you’re calling in.
