    Expressing Yourself through Personal Style with Gillian Jakob Kieser: Creative Living with Jamie (eps 297)

    In this episode of Creative Living with Jamie, I sit down with my style teacher Gillian Jakob Kieser to explore how personal style is about so much more than clothes. It's a powerful a journey into self-trust, embodiment and reclaiming ourselves.. Gillian shares her journey from a sea of beige sweaters to a vibrant, authentic aesthetic, and I open up about my own style evolution through perimenopause, grief and rediscovering my self. This isn't a generic one-size-fits-all approach. It's a call to dress like the artist you are, radiating confidence and joy. Together, we explore: โœจ Why style is not superficial, but a profound form of self-expression โœจ How identity shifts (aging, grief, motherhood, life transitions) impact how we see ourselves โœจ The hidden cost of trying to fit into mainstream fashion narratives โœจ Style as both shadow work and creative practice โœจ How to work with your body instead of against it โœจ The magic of finding what truly feels like home This episode is an invitation to step out of unaligned costuming and into a way of dressing, being and living that feels deeply, unmistakably your own. Tune in if... You're ready to stop fighting your body and clothes, reclaim all parts of yourself and step into a wardrobe that feels magnetic and true. Perfect for artists, midlife makers and anyone craving deeper level of self-expression through style. Listen now and let your style tell your story. Today's Guest & Resources Gillian Jakob Kieser is a data-driven style coach and the founder of the Style Mojo Dojo. She helps women over 40 reclaim their style mojo and feel incredible in their clothes. Using proven frameworks and deeply attuned coaching, she shows you how to build a style based on your body architecture and personality so you feel at perfectly home in your clothes, every day.

    When Everything's about to Change featuring artist Sam Tucker

    I am so excited to move forward with a vision I have had for a long time: a video version of the Creative Living with Jamie Podcast. It's a work in progress and there's a lot to learn but it is such a joy to make a start. Here's the very first episode, which features an interview with artist Sam Tucker, who uses words and images to tell the stories of her life. About Sam Tucker Sam Tucker is a storyteller in words and images.  She is currently immersed in a long-term project, an illustrated memoir and storybook chronicling her journey through the grief of losing her partner while wandering the country on an epic road trip. For years, Sam kept her creative dreams hidden in the shadows of her vibrant business consulting practice.  The journey to embracing her artistry, the essence of who she is, was a long and meaningful one that included journaling, visual journaling, book binding, collage and various forms of writing. The turning point for Sam, that point where she finally stepped in and claimed her artistry was nearly two years ago.  Sam was part of the initial offering of the artist residency program, Devotion with Jamie Ridler.  That was a game changer!  Today, Sam divides her time between traveling the U.S. and finishing her memoir, Lost in Bentonia. Connect with Sam at her website www.sam-tucker.com BONUS CONTENT: I've put together a PDF of the transcripts in a  magazine style. It even includes a little creative assignment for you to keep the inspiration going and the creativity flowing. Come to Jamie Ridler Studios to download
