THE SURVIVOR'S APPROACH TO PURCHASING, FASHION AND PERSONAL STYLE
As a Survivor, you may be flourishing in many areas of life, but you play it safe with fashion.
In matters of personal style, Survivors may feel stagnant and low energy. The fashion industry moves fast and is difficult to keep up with, so you have pulled away from the dynamic. Visually, this results in a wardrobe that does not inspire you or accurately portray your distinct personality.
Figuring out what to wear and where to find can feel like a chore. You may feel disconnected from your soul-aligned style and, as such, you are in a purchasing holding pattern. You might have "given up" consciously, or subconsciously may be trying to blend in. Either way, you are not showing up in the fullest expression of your authentic self.
The Survivor's approach to purchasing is "adequate". You have just enough to get by: no more, no less.
Shopping has not felt inspiring so you put minimal effort and energy into the process. When forced, you purchase sparingly, buying only what you need, with a low bar for sparking joy.
You dream of having a wardrobe that feels soul-aligned and energizing. Where your creativity and uniqueness are on display. A life where you feel prepared, confident and celebrated in your fashion choices.
The good news, Survivor, is that there are strategies that can quantum-leap you into the EXPRESSED, SOVEREIGN, EMPOWERED version of yourself that is so ready for her debut.
TOOLS & TIPS TO SHIFT FROM SURVIVE TO THRIVE
BUILD AWARENESS
Building awareness around your narrative is one of the most effective ways to shift into action. Getting curious about your triggers will help you to identify where the avoidance stems from, and develop strategies to support your healing and activate self-expression.
IDENTIFY THE SHIFT
Identify the payoff that you are seeking by filling in the blanks: If I refrain from participating, I will feel _____________.
Understanding the emotional motivator(s) for the purchase will help you highlight opportunities to heal.
RELEASE WHAT DOES NOT SERVE YOU
While playing safe can feel, well, safe, it is important to consider the opportunity cost of not leveraging your soul's desire and playing as the fullest expression of self. Finding your voice and allowing yourself to be witnessed can be healing and liberating and is integral to the human experience!
CONNECT WITH INTUITION
Strengthen your fashion voice by connecting to your intuition and letting it guide your Intuitive Style and Authentic Style Expression. This will help you be more adventurous, and ultimately feel a sense of liberation.
ROOT INTO INTUITIVE STYLE
Being firmly rooted in your Intuitive Style will give you the strength and stability to make fashion choices that feel aligned to your authentic style and lifestyle, allowing you to expand your horizon. Take baby steps toward creative style expression to keep your nervous system regulated. Go slow and give yourself time to process how you feel when trying new items.
VISUALIZE YOUR IDEAL WARDROBE
Create a visual inspiration or mood board. What feels expansive and energizing to you? What is most reflective of your Intuitive Style? Select images to define a direction that you would like to move in, and then refine the search to items that light you up and categories that truly work for your lifestyle.
FOCUS ON SELECTIVITY
When trying new items, use the "Love/Don't Love" litmus test. If you truly love the piece, you can consider purchasing it. If you don't love the piece, leave it.
Every purchase is an opportunity to show up for yourself in authenticity, and the more you honor your intuition, the easier it will feel to build a wardrobe that sparks joy.

I have spent the entirety of my life fascinated by the psychology of shopping both personally, as a recovered shopping addict, and professionally, as a stylist who spent the past decade mapping the emotional motivators for my clients’ purchasing patterns.
Supporting women in connecting to intuitive style, healing dysfunctional shopping habits, and purchasing with intention is a purpose-driven pursuit for me, and I am so happy you are here.
"I have always been an anxious person, and the older I got, the more I struggled with dressing myself. The desire to have a fun wardrobe was always doused by uncertainty, and I had this constant voice in my head telling me I looked ridiculous when trying new trends. Intuitive Style Maven helped me shed that narrative, and being my own fashion authority has been so liberating."

Intuitive Style Maven empowered me to embrace my style, my figure, and my unapologetic authentic expression."
