From One Stylist to Another

I write this review as a love letter to Maria and this podcast. So often being a VIP Image Consulting and Services Coach I feel rather alone working this magic. Having Maria on my podcast The Wardrobe Muse was amazing and we realized we speak the same love language of clothing, fashion, function and sustainability as well as having some personal touch points. It is a small world after all. I love to hear Maria speak on this subject in this podcast as it so resonates with how I speak to my clients. Often trying to normalize hiring a person to coach you with image and wardrobe feels like a job in itself. This kind of podcast and content is so rich in helping all women all over the world see that asking for help can be a fun filled learning experience. Keep up the great content Maria. And I cannot wait to be a guest on Above and Beyond. Let’s continue the conversation.

A second look

Maria has a genuine and thoughtful way of helping you to take a second look at your wardrobe. I’ve never truly considered how what you choose to wear is a reflection of your inner self, but I am starting to do that now. I love the way Maria weaves her personal journey into her tips using her warm nature to draw you in. I can’t wait to hear more!
