9 - Dress For Joy: An Aura Stylist Explains
Find & follow us wherever you listen to podcasts!
Description
Around the middle school years, most of us start to zoom in on creating an identity for ourselves. We begin to round out our self-concept, who we want to hang out with, and how we want other people to perceive us. We’re trying to figure out where we fit into the world.
As women, it can feel like we have to pick between two options: being the fashionable life of the party, seen as frivolous and girly, or being the person who doesn’t care about clothes, seen as serious and smart.
But the truth is, it doesn’t have to be like that. There’s a lot of space in the in-between once we’re willing to step back and tune into ourselves and where our intuition leads us.
Today I’m joined by Aura Stylist® Susanna Merrick, who teaches people how to use clothes and accessories to manifest their desired life. In this conversation, we talk about the connection between how you dress and how you manifest your desires, how we can shift away from the things that no longer serve us, the cultural pressures we face as women, how to start calling in more joy through your wardrobe, tuning into your intuition and the things you love, and more.
Let's pull joy in together!
