    Episode 29 | Olivia Pinnock on Burnout, Confidence & Refining Your Life

    Eight years after our first conversation, Olivia Pinnock returns to the podcast for a reflective discussion around confidence, burnout, refinement and what it means to let go of things that no longer serve you. We discuss the evolution of sustainable fashion, navigating career pivots, ending projects you've poured your heart into, and how confidence changes as we gain experience and perspective. In this episode, Olivia reflects on building The Fashion Debates, navigating burnout, working with a career coach and learning that growth sometimes comes from creating space rather than constantly pushing forward. Together, we explore confidence, creativity, sustainable fashion and the importance of recognising when a chapter has reached its natural conclusion. We also discuss personal style, colour analysis, fashion trends, creativity and why having less can often create more clarity. Topics discussed include: – Burnout as a catalyst for change – Learning to say no and refine your commitments – Ending projects that no longer serve you – The legacy of The Fashion Debates – Confidence through experience rather than performance – Career coaching and creating space for growth – Sustainable fashion and how the conversation has evolved – Why refinement often means letting go – Style, colour analysis and wardrobe clarity – Fashion trends, creativity and personal expression – The difference between taste and personal style – Why impact matters more than longevity This conversation is thoughtful, honest and full of perspective. It’s about recognising when something has served its purpose, trusting the lessons it leaves behind and understanding that refinement often requires us to release what once felt essential.

    Episode 28 | Giovanna Sessi-Knott on Style, Identity & Trusting Your Intuition

    Giovanna Sessi-Knott joins the podcast to reflect on style, identity, career evolution and the process of creating a life that feels more aligned. From building an international career in banking to retraining in interior design, launching her own handbag brand and balancing creativity with family life, this conversation explores how our values, priorities and identity evolve over time… and how trusting yourself becomes increasingly important through each new chapter. In this episode, Giovanna reflects on leaving behind a career that no longer felt sustainable, how energy management became a turning point in her decision making, and the role intuition now plays in guiding both work and life. Together, we discuss style, colour, sustainability, daily rituals and why dressing for your real lifestyle can make life feel simpler and more intentional. We also discuss how style evolves alongside identity, why editing before adding can transform your wardrobe, and how creating systems that support your lifestyle can create more confidence and ease. Topics discussed include: – Moving from banking into interiors, design and entrepreneurship – Trusting intuition as your career and identity evolve – Sustainability as a way of living, not just consuming – Energy management and recognising when something is no longer working – Daily rituals that support creativity and wellbeing – The role of walking and slowing down – Dressing for your current lifestyle, not old identities – Colour analysis and simplifying decision making – Editing before adding to your wardrobe – Building confidence through self-trust and reflection – Why style should support function, confidence and everyday life This conversation is reflective, practical and full of insight. It’s about recognising when life no longer fits the version of success you once imagined… and allowing yourself to evolve into something that feels more aligned.

    Ep. 27 | Stella Bida on Identity, Alignment & External Validation | Roberta Style Lee Podcast

    Eight years after our first conversation, Stella Bida returns to the podcast for a much deeper discussion around identity, emotional alignment, people-pleasing, external validation and the uncomfortable process of becoming who you really are. We discuss the moment Stella sold almost everything she owned in order to disconnect from an identity that no longer felt aligned, alongside boundaries, burnout, style, grounding rituals and the pressure many women feel to keep performing versions of themselves that no longer fit. In this episode, Stella reflects on the years between our original interview and now, including the pivotal moment she sold almost everything she owned in order to disconnect from an identity that no longer felt aligned. Together, we explore people-pleasing, the addiction to external validation, learning to say no, and the emotional discomfort that often comes before transformation. We also discuss style, natural materials, personal rituals, and why clothing can become a grounding tool during periods of change. Topics discussed include: – The gap between external success and internal fulfillment – Why many women ignore the feeling that something is “off” – The pressure of expectations, politeness and performance – Selling possessions and rebuilding identity from the inside out – Boundaries, people-pleasing and learning to say no – Style as emotional grounding rather than performance – Why linen became Stella’s grounding material – Clothing that evolves with different life chapters – Welcoming difficult emotions instead of avoiding them – The relationship between confidence, identity and alignment This conversation is slower, more reflective and more honest than many conversations around confidence and empowerment. It’s about what happens when we stop performing who we think we should be… and start paying attention to who we actually are becoming.
