I love that. Okay, what's your horoscope sign? I am an Aries with a Leo moon. Oh my God. No way. I'm a Leo moon to oh my gosh. There you go. Yeah, and then I have and I have four planets and Capricorn. So basically I'm like a lot Thanks, but but yeah an Aries Aries is I mean definitely an Aries I'll clean that a hundred percent. I love that so funny because well, my son sign is a Capricorn. So I definitely we have the same Vibe. Oh my gosh, that makes so much sense good and I love that. You're an Aries because well that makes so much sense because you're always ranting on IG stories and Aries. Are there just like the leader and they're not afraid to speak their mind. So that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, that's I identify with that. So much. Okay. Are you a morning or a night person? Oh my gosh. I am such a morning person. And I think I'm like The Rare Breed that that I like even this morning. I was waking I woke up at 5:00 in the morning and started work at 5:00 not because like because I'm some crazy person just because I like wake up and I'm just ready to go. I love it and but on the other end of that like it's like 9:30 10:00, and I'm like, okay, I turn into a pumpkin time for bed. So so definitely morning. Oh my gosh, 5:00 a.m. My jaw just dropped a morning person. I love it. So do you have a morning practice or do you just hop straight into the day? I think I hop straight into the day. I like to I mean it kind of I don't to be honest. They don't have a total total morning like routine. So I kind of It kind of changes but I always like to meditate in the morning. That's a good that's a non-negotiable for me. Even if it's like 5 minutes. It just really really helps kind of ground and Center me and Andre priority ties or just refocus because I think sometimes you can get out of bed and really or for me at least I can get out of bed and tried it and kind of let the day just get by or let the day. Me and I think just having that that moment to just re collect my thoughts and really connects our my higher power is really so so helpful to me but I but it kind of changes all usually, you know, coffee tea, maybe a little Journal sash definitely medication. I feel the best when I go exercise like do a you know a workout classic first and foremost, but let's be honest that that doesn't always oh my gosh, that's very interesting. I think you're the very first guest to be on and Say that they don't really have a strict morning practice. So I love that that's really refreshing. And yeah, I would love to get a morning workout in but you know totally well I think like here's the thing I think and this is like one of my like pillars of what I think success is built on is being a hundred percent yourself and who you are and I think that some of those morning practices, you know, then we have like I just kind of like the flow of how life is I don't like to force anything. So there's they're definitely you know, you kind of get into routines. But but yeah, but I don't think it's like I don't think that a morning like routine is like the definition of success. I feel like you can be successful no matter what huh Buzz. Oh my gosh, just such a refreshing perspective. I feel like every online article every interview is like have your morning routine if you want to make a million dollars, you know, so that is really interesting and I think That will resonate with a lot of people. I love that. Yeah. Okay. Where is the fifth place that you've traveled to? Where's that say that one more time? Where is like the favorite place that you've ever traveled to? Oh my gosh. It's a tie between Paris or Bali. I think both of those are just like have special places in my heart for different reasons. But but I just in Paris in December for three weeks and I was like, oh my gosh, this is my favorite and then and Bali definitely need to do another Bali trip here soon. Oh my gosh love. Well I speak French, so Love Paris, and I'm actually going to Bali for the first time in May. Oh my gosh, I will have dire effects. Yes, you are going to love it. You're never gonna want to leave. I believe that a hundred percent. I only have a one way ticket right now. So maybe I would job. I love it. So good. What are your favorite things about both places? So apparently just love so I keep crunches. Well, actually I went to a different School. Up from third to fifth grade, so third fourth and fifth grade. So I love that. I think I love just French culture is very much. Like they call American prudes and I think it's so true. Like, you know, I just there's just a level of like freedom and just of expression that I really really resonate with I think they also appreciate the beauty of life. So it's not uncommon for you to see somebody that's just like window shopping and then like a little Boutique and looking at a nice watch or you know, or whatever. Ever it is I think they actually take the time to appreciate that and that and that goes for just like appreciating, you know, a cup of coffee, you know off the side of this road or just you know, those find those just simple find things. I think there's just a lot of appreciation for it. So that's what I love about Paris and then obviously fashion. I just I can't get I mean I came out of the womb I say I came out of the womb loving fashion. And so and so just to be around some of the big holster house that you know, the big houses the big It's just like amazing for me. So that's probably favorite thing about Paris. I think a lot of times were like, oh but the sites and Eiffel Tower. I'm like, I actually don't care about those things are really did care about like just like people and like life and I mean, you know, the sites are great too. And then and then as far as Bali goes, I just love I love the ocean. I love I mean you can you know, it's a hard question because there's like so many Anything that I love the ocean, I love surfing I love like you can just get so many so much healthy food and it's all relatively affordable. So you can live a long time there and enjoy like just nature and beautiful Beauty. I will also say Bali is is like this this beautiful. I almost it's almost like a Vortex of what you see yourself in such a different light and and I and I think DP queuing that gets to happen there. So that's also a reason why I love love love Bali. Okay. Well that just made me even more excited. I'm in Bali. Yeah. Well and you and I think you'll be surprised because sometimes the healing you're like wait this is going to be so wonderful and sometimes they're like, oh my gosh this healing looks like can look painful in the moment, but or can just I wasn't too painful can just raise up a whole bunch of Of emotion or different things that you just get to look at it and heal through and grow through so so it's never bad. It's but it's but it's definitely like I would say intense like that's it. That's a good word for intense, like intense goodness intense Beauty lusciousness and also like intense growth gets to happen there. Hmm very well, but can't wait level two places already. Okay. What is the coolest thing that you've manifested? Oh my gosh, I I heard my whole life like literally. I look around me right now and there's not a thing that's in my life. I mean, yeah, there's not a thing in my life that I'm like, wow. I didn't create this with with my being and and with my thought and with who I am as a person so and I'll say I mean, I'll just give you like tangible things though. I manifested within a period of three months and just working on kind of like money specifically money and I would say more money and as I stood I just kind of some kind of healing some old money beliefs and really adopting new money beliefs. I had bought a duplex. I had quit my job and I like nine to five job and I bought an Audi over the years. Yeah, so yeah, so those were kind of simple that was just a really really clear like linear manifestation. I would say that the other thing and right now I'm in the middle of a revolution out of a marriage and and I would say that this is granted. It's like so painful and there's so much but at this resonates as if you've ever been through a breakup you kind of think oh my gosh, this is the worst thing but actually I would Say that that is a manifestation as well. And Amanda said because when you are really a lying to your highest good and your highest goal and your highest self, you know, your external world really shifts around you and so and that's a manifestation because when you're really wanting that when your dream we are creating your life everything that isn't aligned to that that life that you're creating is going to fall away. So that's prop. That's also I would say I have manifested a and over just an abundance of freedom. Now and in my business and my life and money and a lot, but I would say everything in my existence is there is everything in my reality currently is is the product of a manifestation. Mmm. So good and I always say that anything that's in authentic anything that's not serving you any more always dies. It always has to fall away. So I love that you're looking at that perspective of life and evolution like it's a new chapter and wow, so exciting and what a good outlook on it, too. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Amazing. Okay, what's your favorite luxury Splurge? This could be like like buying cars like buying handbags. What is it? Oh my gosh. I so this has changed so much. It used to be way more things. I would say and now it's more experiences. Like I love going to the spa and like a fancy Spa getting a good treatment. Don't think that for me feels like so good and I would say that's doesn't even feel like a that it that feels like kind of my new normal or bite ya standard is just like is is I this is how I treat myself, but but yeah, I mean, I love I think I love living life like I love enjoying every aspect of life and that's the good things in that and I don't think it has to be necessarily like financially expensive. I think there's a way to make everything. In to make your world beautiful and to make to be able to enjoy those things in life those splurges but I don't really and I had to be honest. I don't even really love the word Splurge because that somehow implies that what you're doing is you're it's like above what your worth or something or above what you should have quote unquote. So I would just say you know, and and and I know that I mean man, I didn't need to get into like so much of this background, but I think this is what Resonate with you know, like I grew up with like, oh you you know, this is what you can spend money on in. This is what you can't spend money on or this is you know, a Splurge as a massage or a Splurge is, you know, a nice dinner or a Splurge is you know a Chanel bag, but I would say that like that you get to have whatever you want and your life truly whatever you want and and part of getting those things is removing the shame and removing the like I would say like the polarity around having those things and having it just be not a Splurge that this is this is I take care of myself. Sway and you know and I honor money and I Auburn time and I honor these things but also this is this is the reality that I have and this is part of my what I do. Yeah. It's like this is your new energetic minimum. We've been talking a lot on my podcast on my Instagram lately about becoming an energetic match for things and that's just that's exactly what you're doing. You're like, this is how I treat myself like this is my normal. So I love that. Yep. Exactly. Exactly. Okay, what's your my favorite book Oh my gosh. Oh, this is so hard. I love listening to audible like all the time. I think my probably my latest favorite is the surrender experiment by Michael Singer and this is really as I said, I'm in the process of evolving or I'm in the middle of evolving out of a marriage and a relationship that I've had for 10 years and in a lot of things times what we want to do that. Control situations that actually the surrender experiment his whole premise is really you get to let go when you get to release it and you get to know that you are 100% supported and which which feels so good and I seen that time and time again, so that's probably my favorite book. My latest favorite book. Yeah. That's probably I also love anything by Joe dispenza is really really good. Let's see gay Hendricks Make me for the Great Leap, but that we also the big lie. Yeah that also rat radically changed my life. I think I read it like for I don't even know a long time ago, but it just totally changed my life. So so those are probably some of the greats I like that a lot. I like the the surrender book. What was it called? Again? It's called The Surrender experiment. Okay, and it's an amazing book because this man has built multiple. Small companies really on the foundation of I'm going to just I know that God or Source Works basically through me and I'm just going to surrender to the like what I'm doing in this moment and have this whatever I'm doing in this moment be an act of just almost meditation and it really allows you to detach from you know from kind of thinking that your destination is the place where you'll find happiness, but it's actually like in the moment. And and he just I mean, it's a great read to or he it sought of I listened to it on Audible and he narrates it. So so I highly recommend it. I love that. Okay. Well, I'm going to look that up as soon as we're done and Olive that inaudible. Okay. Laughs yep meeting question. What is your go-to coffee or tea order at the moment? Oh my gosh, I so right now I am making I keep making myself Double Espresso lattes every morning probably not the healthiest but and but my true favorite of anything is pour over coffee like good high quality coffee. Just pour over. Oh my gosh. It's my absolute favorite so good. And yeah who cares if it's healthy or not? Because it makes us happy. That's how I know. I know I know I know. Off this is so good. I love this and I try to get off of coffee so many times but I just like it. It's like I just like it so, you know, it's days. Yep. It stays that's our norm and some coffee drinking like a quad shot. So like four shots of espresso over ice from Starbucks, and and so that's like next level, but I used to be a barista. So I need a lot. Oh my Gosh, that is neck. Well, I feel like that was shocked that I'm like woohoo today. Oh my gosh. Well, if you ever need a lot of energy before a barre class get a quad shot my gosh. I will holy cow. If you do it. Let me know how it goes. Well, oh so good. Okay. Let's just dive straight into these interview questions because I'm just really excited for everybody to hear you're really interesting perspective around fashion and kind of Up leveling yourself through it. So let's do some background. How did you get into styling? What is it that you love so much about fashion bring us back to where it all began. Yeah. Oh my gosh. So I always say it began when I was five years old making clothes, you know at that time. I just never slept. I know I think I've been high energy since the time like I said five years old and I was making I'd make clothes and sell potpourri from door to door with my little red wagon at six in the morning and I'm like no Nothing has changed. But essentially I am the same person like like at the intersection of business creativity and fashion, and and and I think so, so that's that's kind of where it really began. And then I with my family I moved abroad and I moved to a place where we had these dresses and so we would instead of like kind of going to the store and buying clothes which we would sometimes I got really really into having clothes made and so I would design clothes Have mr. Tom make them for me and it was like amazing. So so that really sparked my just my obsession with like creating, you know, like close as an art form and close as self-expression a just that kind of you know was was almost like an extension of me. I will also say that that a significant part of my story is that I grew up in a super religious background where where what was celebrated in was you know was was doing kind of the quote unquote right thing which would like and you who would have careers that were like good careers or like helping people like nurses or doctors or you know, or whatever and then there was a career that were like kind of, you know, not as celebrated which was like, you know anything in fashion, like what you're not even helping people you're out. What are you doing? You know, you don't like it doesn't have it's not like a utility. There's no like like perfect quote unquote for that. And so so I so I kind of thought I struggled a lot like because I Wait a minute. I have always seen Beauty as just an expression of who we are and is an expression of God and it's all around us and yet I'm kind of being told that what I'm doing is somehow not like not godly or something and so so my 20s I went into marketing went into did other things other than fashion and kind of like healed through like healed through this idea that that bashing wasn't like like being Us with closes like a bad thing or being obsessed with Beauty with a bad thing because and so and part of that healing. I mean when that healing happened all of a sudden my life changed drastically and then and while I'm putting myself through school, I also worked at as a visual manager or so basically did all the merchandising for anthropology. So I had this background I know so I had to when you kind of go in and look at all the displays and all of the merchandising so I was in charge of all things visible. Aesthetic of a store so kind of manage the store with the store where they called now that's like the they changed it but the store brand leader and and I was essentially just been the visual, you know, residual store manager. So so that was so I had this skill and I realized that what I really loved was was styling people and and really allowing kind of their who they are inside to shine through with clothes and and and and how this wasn't like this wasn't a bad thing. I was watching people's lives transformed drastically. Once they just started feeling really good about themselves. And and so and so that's you know, so I had my job at Anthropologie and then I went into marketing kind of it. Did I call it my big girl job did what worked for a couple different tech companies which I love is that I always kind of just had this like little inkling that I was not here to be In marketing at you know at the latest tech company that I really really cared about building a platform and building a way to connect women to their own internal personal style and to really watch women be completely Unleashed no matter where they are no matter what they're wearing if that's like, you know outside to go get coffee or facet from a stage, you know, speak from a stage. So that was you know, so that was kind of my, you know my introduction. My yeah, my my start to styling I started on the side and 2014. So almost five years ago to the day is when my first website went up and and I was still working my nine-to-five corporate drawers. I just started offering my services for free at This Woman's networking event. I said, you know, I'm doing all this like, you know marketing but what I really like I miss all my like I miss the Merchandising is putting outfits together. I really miss this. Like is anybody interested in you know, if I offered styling with anybody be interested and I had a flood of women at the end of this networking event. Come come and say oh my gosh. Yes, please. And so so that is what started styled by E. Mmm. I love it and it's so crazy to me how people think that fashion isn't like an impactful industry. Like I am very similar in the same not like my entire life I grew up. Wanting to work in fashion. Like I knew I never once wavered. I wanted to work in merchandising until I started my business but it's like for me passion was always a sign of like individualism. It's a sign of expression and I think that's like one of the most impactful ways. So it's very interesting when people are like, oh you work in fashion, like your school's most like School must be easy in this this and that but it really is a big job and it's an important job. Absolutely, I think absolutely not Sigma II. I just see that stigma changing and I also like I want to be a part of it changing because I just see these and especially now I'm I you know, a lot of my clients are, you know, spiritual entrepreneurs or people that are heavily, you know, invested into different spiritual communities and and I just find it as like as any expression that you have is a form of Art and so and and that's you know, and if you look around flowers have so much Beauty. So there's like Beauty all around us and beauty is such an important part of like so and and I think that we get to be a part of the transition in you know, there's some whichever industry. For example, there are there are good parts and parts that need to be changed and need to be kind of I would say like need need light shined on it so that they can transform and so on. How I in my view that's what I'm doing in this oil industry is really using wait a minute. I have seen people manifest their dream life through clothes. And so guess what we get to do that and yeah, is there is there a way that we need to kind of look at our weight and look at how the clothing industry, you know employees people and are there things that we can do better? Absolutely and so but let's do that from the inside and let's really bring transformation from the inside. Hmm, so So good. And is that why you wanted to take the more holistic approach and kind of bring in like the manifesting or next level self through fashion or what kind of inspired that I think I just that was me. You know, I think I just I saw time and time again, you know part of when you work with me one-on-one I start out by saying what kind of Life are you creating? You know, where are you going? What is your six months year? Your goal five-year tenure goal because ultimately you are stepping into that person. And the way that we can build your wardrobe is for that next level version of yourself because because if you think about growth growth really is just embodying that next person like the only difference between you and I would say like Steve Jobs or Sara Blakely or anybody else. Is there embodiment of that that person that they are, you know, it's like if they just have the belief and then knowing that that's the that that's them and so and I think clothes get to be the little, you know, just just a teeny like a teeny piece of that. So so that's how I got into it. I think I need myself was go I was going through a radical transformation in my own personal life. And then also seeing client totally, you know, manifesting their dream partner or you know, doubling or tripling or quadrupling their income level or you know, whatever. Why is it that it was just energy is energy and stuck energy is stuck energy. And so when you're like wearing you're saying yoga pants and Jude not obsessed with and don't fit you that well and you don't feel good like the guess what that's a feeling and and when you can finally release those and replace them with something that actually feels like you and your highest self and the person the version of yourself that makes those decisions. There are lying to your you know, where you're going and you're next level like your life totally transforms and so on. So that's that's kind of how it all started. You know how it all started. I also think I have to say that that I'm a wardrobe stylist. And so I often pull, you know from different stores and I had found that some of the women that I was working with were really not that kind what ask kind of like. Oh, so who are you pulling for and just was in it kind of was like this almost like a you know, and this is when I think that I wanted that I am changing and actively changing it kind of felt like this cool girls club and I just thought you know what they say. Just why fashion field unexplained, you know inaccessible for some people or you know, or not inclusive because you walk into a store and and they're you know judging what you're wearing instead of actually trying to help you and loving you for who you are. And so and that's when I just was like no this is not. Okay. Like I am a stylist that I just I love people and I want to see and I see the potential of people more than anything. So that's that's kind of how it all kind of started, you know getting Get it getting all wrapped in two one and I seen incredible success with that because people want to know who they want to feel good about who they are period right? Yeah, that is so interesting. I one thing I talk about a lot is that like there's no such thing as being stuck. It's just you thinking the same thoughts over and over and over again, and it's you wearing those old raggedy yoga pants over and over and over again. So like when we can ship those beliefs and ship the physical G around us whether that's a handbag or pair of shoes or your like your wardrobe. That's so powerful and I think not a lot of people are talking about this and it's so important. So let's just break it down to make it really simple for people. So like what would be your definition of kind of a next-level self and how exactly do you like to tie that into fashion, maybe like three quick tips to do this? Yeah, totally. So three quick tips. Number one get really really clear on your next level version of yourself. So you can go six months out. You can go a year out. You know, what does your day look like? How much money are you making? What is your you know, what what what do you feel like, you know what you get really really really clear on that. I like to then start. I call it an uplevel style board. I like to then create a Pinterest board that actually has those things on it. So that means that income level that means that that partnership or that means whatever. That you are growing into and I would say also next level is just a journey back to who you are like kind of like mine stock right there. But you know, we kind of always say we always say that oh, your next level is like actually somebody outside of yourself, but actually it's just a journey closer to your your truth and who you really are. Okay, so but back to easy easy steps. So number one very very very clear, you know, you can write down like like and actually I have a I can send you guys I have a pediatric called my up leveled style workbook and you're welcome to exercise 20-something question that goes through this because you want to get really really clear on this. What does it look like? What does your day look like? How do you feel? How do you feel in your clothes? How do you feel in your job? How do you know you really want to know those things? That's first step second step back to you get you go that did that Pinterest board. You want to look really Envision what that looks like what that feels like, I personally like the visual component of Manifesting because that's what the it's just I think some of us are very very visual. So I love love love that component of it and then so then you manifest so then you have that vision board and then you kind of look and see what's not aligned, you know, so if there's like if you you know are like wait, my next level version of myself is like really classy and loves like Chic black things and then and then you have like nothing in your closet that is aligned with that. Well probably time to start art start really embodying that next version of yourself. So good. Also I love that idea of like your next Soul self is you like getting closer to yourself because it's true like and when we like look up to celebrities or influencers are people like Oprah, we're like, oh my gosh, they're so amazing and their just emulating things that are already inside us that we need to step into and fashion is like just one of the ways that we can do that. Yeah, exactly exactly. When I think sometimes we put somebody else on a pedestal because we admire something about them but exactly to your point. It's actually that thing that we admire about then is also in us, it's sometimes it's just not realize or sometimes. We don't have the clarity around really owning it and really being that but ultimately we have it in us, so it's just the way it's just it's just a practice of Letting Go any of the story For the belief that we have around not letting that be just be period yeah. Oh so good. Okay. I want to talk about confidence a little bit because when we're talking about fashion and we want to look good because we want to feel good and we can't really feel good in what we're wearing unless we have that element of confidence. So I kind of just want to hear your opinion around this and how you think that kind of ties in with manifesting that next level version of you. two Yeah, totally. So I want to tell a story really quickly because I had this yesterday I woke up and I was like, oh my gosh, I feel like like just a little bit overweight and I just feel like I don't feel good. I feel sad and I just you know, and I think and I have a beautiful beautiful beautiful life. I love what I do. I have the best relationships in my life. I literally I have a dream life and yet and yet this is a reality is sometimes you don't feel good. And I think that when we wake up or you know, when whatever we get from some of these like thoughts in our head of like wait, I'm you know, I'm little I'm a little heavier than I want to be or you know, and oh my gosh, like I you know had a slower month and that means I'm you know, so you kind of can get into your head a lot. So I so I just want to preface this by saying like I run a six almost multiple six-figure business and I still have these days where I'm like, oh my gosh, you know, yeah, and and I don't feel comfortable. But I don't want to go outside because I'm just like oh my gosh, what is this? So I think so. I want to practice what I'm going to say by that and I think to shift that it first and foremost just saying what is so because you don't want to you know lock shame and guilt onto wait, I shouldn't feel this way. I shouldn't feel guilty that or I shouldn't feel like I should just be confident or I should just you know, we can get into these Loops of just shooting on ourselves and really like that. That's not helping. That doesn't help. You. Just get to feel how you are because That's the place that's the point where you get to shift it. And so for me, you know that shifting is just writing out every single thing that I'm believing, you know, oh my gosh, I you know feel heavier than I that I am and that means that I you know, don't feel attractive or you know, I have a slow month there for you know, I feel like I'm a failure at business or whatever it is that those things kind of can come can just be those are the things you're bleeding. And so it's really really helpful for me to like write them all down and then and then after they're are all written down then I actually remember who am I stepping into like who is CEO Alyssa or who is you know partner Alyssa or who is you know, like who actually am I because I'm Alyssa fucking Williams and I am a queen and I am here to bring self-expression to the world and go then you just get to connect back to that version of yourself and that person and then all of a sudden like and you haven't it's not like you'd like just shoved all those feelings because that's a hundred percent like But Jack, you know those are but then you get to remember kind of who you are. And you also get to it's almost like you detach from like from this like identity version of yourself because let's be honest. We all are here to play a really really big game and when you and I just sometimes I do remember like when I have these like doubts and fears and insecurities, that's that's a disservice to the world. That's not only Number one, I don't feel good. But number two, I he I know that I'm here to play a big game and do offer massive value to people and so when I am stuck in wait, I'm not good enough or I don't feel good enough or whatever. That's at that's like it's almost you know, it's kind of a paradox because yes, that's the very thing that's going to prevent you from from Austrian. What you do have to the world is feeling like you can't offer that to the world. So So back to confidence I think confidence is one allowing yourself to feel what you need to feel and then do little incremental things to feel better and whether that's and really connecting to what you do need. You know, maybe that is I need a long bath with epsom salt or maybe that's I need to just go dance to Beyonce and get it all out. Or maybe it's I need to like sexy dance in my room and remember who I am and that I and faith in my body. I have I'm safe secure happy home. Whole complete and just to like connect to your to who you are in your core. And then from there I would say then you really do connect to that highest version of yourself. You know, I'm Alyssa fucking Williams, you know, you were fucking Michaela. This is you know, and and you're here to play a big game and then all of a sudden you're just like then I kind of get that wave of confidence doc per year and you just like raise your Vibe a little bit and you're like, oh yeah. This is who I am. I'm amazing period full stop. Right, let's so so important. It's like when I love the point that like you're doing the world a disservice like almost for like when you think you can't do it and it's I always tell people that like self-care is never selfish because then you can show up as your best self and I always think that like I was showing up as their best selves us showing up just being it's confident as we fucking can because that's the most impactful. That's how we can shift other people's energy with not even doing anything other than being in the room. Room other than having our presence so exactly so so inaccurate, I love that. Okay, exactly bringing it back to kind of The Styling piece a question. I thought of earlier kind of forgot to ask if people want to start stepping into their next level in terms of their fashion uploading their wardrobe. What are they? What's a step they can take if they can't just straight up go out and like buy a whole new wardrobe because I know people are going to be like, well, I can't go out and buy everything. So what do you got here? Boy, is that and what I totally so I think what I like to do is I like to pick out my five favorite pieces in my wardrobe. So really look at what are those things that really do embody your next level and that is going to be your those five pieces along with your uplevel style bar are going to be your gold standard for what you are kind of what you're creating and what the Wardrobe is that you're creating. And then from there you can there's so many different ways to get get clothes for you know, that won't break. Break the bank. So I like to do clothing swap. I like to borrow clothes from Girlfriends. I also really like to do Rent the Runway. They have Rent the Runway. I can't remember it's not unlimited but one of them basically you get for new four pieces a month for like $70, which is like basically deal because if you're yeah and they're all designer pieces. So if you just have those good Basics you kind of can pick for ones that really will make you feel like I kind of feel like you're next level version and and I've seen You know clients that don't want to really spend a whole bunch of money on a whole bunch of new new pieces. I do recommend that I also will say in this people like kind of hate me for saying this but I don't even care. I'm going to say it like get rid of the shit you hate like like really really just I know that you're like, but maybe I won't ever get that again and maybe I won't have anything in my closet and listen like this is a mindset shift that I promise will change your whole life, but it is better to have five things that you fucking love then like 20 things that You're just like because what are we here for? We're here for a 100% life. We're not here for an 80% life. And so and that's your choice. I give you one aware of the things that I don't make you feel good. Like that's great. But then don't be surprised with when you make other choices that are similar to that. It really aren't aligned to your higher self and really are that like kind of 70 to 80% Zone because we're going for a hundred percent and would rather have things that are a hundred percent that you feel so fucking good in and then don't bring shit. That doesn't feel a hundred percent. You know, like like I swear I feel like sometimes when people like I can't afford that I'm like well how many times did you buy shit you like only kind of love like maybe five Forever 21 shirts at like totally fell apart. Whereas you really didn't invest in that one. You know, Rebecca Taylor piece that you absolutely were fucking obsessed with so it's really a kind of again. It's a mindset shift of what you know of where you are sending your resources. And and what what you do what kind of Like you do want to create. Yeah so good and I've been the last couple months. Just trying to get more of those investment pieces that don't fall apart after five washes because there's nothing worse than that. Any almost feel like yeah, we get that thrill that like exhilaration of going shopping and buying something but then you just feel like when you look at your closet like it's just not excited. We need that excited energy out our closet every day. Yeah, I totally agree and with those like with those investment pieces, like I think those are just excellent, you know, those the investment pieces really you have them for a long time. You know, they feel good. I have the mic jacket that I'm just obsessed with and you know what I've had it for a long time. So same same thing you just you want to or even like I had some Golden Goose, you know shoes and these are their spensive, you know, they're five over five hundred dollars by seriously. So I've worn them like almost every day for three months so totally worth it. And I love that. I still love them. No. Yeah, it's so important I could talk about this all day. Okay, I would love to hear what are your favorite trends at the moment. Oh my gosh, I love a skirt with a graphic tee. I love cheetah. I mean clearly I think I'm just I love cheetah. I really love you. I love fanny packs or even felt forces. I'm obsessed. I don't share that people are not obsessed with that Trend as much as I am, but I love it. Yeah, but I think and then what else do I love right now? Hmm. I mean, I think I'm also really in a blazer. A phase right now Blazer phase tracksuits as well the trends that I'm like totally here for ya. So that's that's probably it and then it also like like elevated athleisure. I feel like we're just now about kind of we're kind of like settling into that. I think that we you know, kind of didn't know what the it was kind of like finding its feet and and now we're really like, oh, okay great. You can wear like yoga pants that cute little crop top and a leather jacket. And like some you know some athletic shoes and you're like golden so I really I do really love that Trend as well. I'm also obsessed with cheetah print right now. It's like becoming a neutral and my wardrobe. Yes. It is a neutral good. I have like a cheetah print shirt and a cheetah print coat and I wear them all the time and I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna wear this to class. I don't care. Yeah. Yeah go so good and it's so Funny I love that you brought up the like the fancy athleisure thing because I really want a pair of APL sneakers and I want the different one. So like that's the way you feel like work out in them. But also wear them out and you like look put together. Yeah do it. So I'm like giving you full permission. Yeah. Do it gonna do it this I'm going so I live in Nebraska, but I'm going to Kansas City this weekend and we don't have Nordstrom or anything like that, Nebraska. So I'm going on a major shopping spree this Got it, and I'm definitely going to get those sneakers now. I love it. I love it. Love it. Okay. So my very last question that I asked everybody on a podcast is what's your best manifestation hack and for you outside of clothes because we've already talked about it. I think my binary di playlist on Spotify. So I think Or okay wait, I'm going to have to or my trampoline my mini trampoline. I think we're that thing. Like like I just can like get up on that trampoline. I mean and I mean also Tony Robbins, this is from Tony Robbins. So, you know, he's clearly he's doing something right so but yeah, I think like like a good yeah binary beat playlist to just really elevate your Vibe and same, you know, same rate. And elevate my vibes with my little baby trampoline. I love that where they like in Tony Robbins office. They just jump on their little trampolines. There you go. That's like that Style by he's offices. So we are I love it and I listened to Binary beats every single night of bed. I am obsessed with them and I think they're supposed to heal you on a cellular level and I'm just like, yeah for that while I'm sleeping, you know, we love a good multitask. Yes. Yeah, I love it. I really really love it. And I do feel like it does heal on so many levels so it feels really good. Yeah, I'm going to have to play that in meditation on a beach in Bali to get tricky feeling Vibes my gosh. You're gonna come home so sparkly. Oh my God. I'm going to be a different person.

Or I said it's or rather take a monthly package and I actually helped style me and my team we helped style the pieces that are already in your closet.
