    The Cost of Playing Small: Money, Confidence, and Building a Powerful Brand

    Money changes things. And when women start making more of it, everything shifts — how we lead, how we show up, and the power we hold in business. In this episode, Tannya sits down with Ashli Pollard, founder of The Do-ers, who previously worked with some of the biggest names in fashion, including Gucci, Prada, and Oscar de la Renta. After seeing firsthand what makes brands scale (and what makes them fail), Ashli now helps women build profitable, sustainable businesses without burning themselves out. This conversation goes beyond traditional business advice. We talk about the mindset shifts, branding clarity, and bold decisions required to grow something that truly reflects who you are. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why shame — not failure — is the real reason businesses shut down • The branding mistake many entrepreneurs make when trying to look “luxury” • How your personal style and identity influence your brand success If you’re building a brand, growing a business, or stepping into bigger rooms, this episode will challenge the way you think about success.

    Business Casual Is Erasing Your Personality (Let’s Fix That)

    Most of us have been there — standing in front of the closet, wondering why business casual feels so… forgettable. In this episode, stylist Tannya Bernadette coaches Rachel, a creative marketing professional, through real-time wardrobe upgrades that are both polished and deeply personal.   No cookie-cutter rules. No generic “office outfit templates.” Just actionable style shifts that help you look like the leader you are becoming — even in a casual environment.   In this episode, you’ll learn: • How to elevate business casual without going overdressed — it’s about intentional contrast, not formality. • Why color and personality matter in your wardrobe — comfort doesn’t have to equal invisibility. • The mindset behind keeping clothes that serve you (and letting go of those that don’t).   If you want to start building a life (and a wardrobe) that actually reflects who you’re becoming, this episode is for you.   🎉Join the Style Insider for monthly shopping boards: https://myclosetedit.com/join-inside-styler   🎉Book a FREE 20-minute personal style call - https://myclosetedit.com/claritycall264323   Want more style tips?
