Summary
Do you ever feel like your clothes don't match the woman you've become? Does it feel difficult to wear things that you're not accustomed to seeing yourself wearing? It's so easy to get in a style rut (or any life rut for that matter) and just continue to do and wear the same things day after day. If you want to get out of any life rut, you must be willing to shake things up and be uncomfortable. In this podcast, Tonya tells the story of how one outfit began to change how she saw herself as a woman, and ever since that day, she's been pushing her style and life edge. Ready to get out of a rut? This podcast is for you!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the French Kiss Life podcast, all about living with more elegance, style, and joie de vivre in your everyday life. |
| 0:08.1 | I'm Tanya Lee, your hostess, and that question? I'm curious. If you were like, I'm good or my favorite, I'm fine. That's what we say in |
| 0:41.3 | the South. I'm fine. This podcast is for you because today I want to talk about shaking it up. |
| 0:49.0 | More specifically, I want to share with you how one outfit can change your life. So here's the story. I stood in front of a mirror |
| 1:00.2 | in a little boutique in Soho, New York, and I stared at my reflection. And I thought to myself, |
| 1:07.1 | who is that girl? I was wearing a form-fitting Alexander Wang dress, and it hugged |
| 1:14.2 | every curve my mama had given me. And I felt really on top of the world until my mind started |
| 1:22.1 | playing tricks on me. Now, this little adventure had started because I felt like I was in a style rut and I needed |

| 1:52.1 | a personal stylist because I desperately wanted to find someone with the know-how about style |
| 1:57.4 | to help me take how I felt inside and express it out into the world and I'll |
| 2:03.9 | have to admit the idea of a stylist seemed like the perfect solution up until this |
| 2:08.4 | moment as I looked into the mirror and then I started to have my doubts I can't buy |
| 2:14.5 | this I told her and she said why not It looks great on you. And then the butts |
| 2:21.3 | started coming. You see, as a girl who grew up in a trailer in the deep south, hiring a personal |
| 2:27.8 | stylist wasn't something I was accustomed to. And in that moment, my mindset immediately |
