Summary

This episode of The RHP features a conversation between Rachel and men’s style coach Tanner Guzy about how personal appearance connects to identity, confidence, and relationships. Tanner explains that clothing functions as a form of “visual language” that not only shapes how others perceive us but also influences how we see ourselves, arguing that many men avoid style out of fear of seeming inauthentic. He introduces the idea that style should reflect internal identity and can help individuals reconnect with purpose, especially during major life transitions such as midlife, career changes, or divorce. Their conversation broadens into themes of personal growth and relationships, suggesting that neglecting appearance can signal deeper disengagement, while intentional effort can strengthen confidence, attraction, and connection. Ultimately, the episode frames style not as vanity but as a practical and creative tool for self-development, encouraging listeners to experiment, align their external expression with their inner identity, and show up more fully in their lives.

This is not another thing that you have to, like it's not another to do or another thing that you should do, but it's another thing that can actually be really fun. So like on a date night, date nights are great when you put in the effort to get dressed up because it takes you from the mindset that you're in prior and immerses you into the mindset of what you're doing

0:21.3

when you're there doing it. And again, the comparison that a lot of guys can get is like, go back to your high school sports team and you play differently when you're in the uniform versus when you're not. Or when you're up on the mountain skiing or snowboarding, you're going to feel different depending on the clothing that you're in. And so if you could think about it is, okay, I love my wife. I'm excited to go do what we're going to go do. How can I dress in a way

that helps me be more immersed and more present in what it is that we're doing? How can I dress in a way

0:49.1

that helps her be more immersed and more present in what we're doing? Like, how can we make our

0:53.3

appearance be part of the experience that we're having? It's just fun. And it does increase the connection

0:59.9

and the attraction and everything else that comes with it, too. It's not a chore. It's actually

1:04.1

something that's really enjoyable.

Hey, guys, I'm Rachel Hollis, and this is the show where we talk about life, real life.

1:17.2

Around here, we cover everything, from habits and motivation to relationships, parenting, and what it looks like to build a life that you love. If you're trying to grow,

1:29.8

heal, or just feel a little bit more like yourself, you're in the right place.

1:40.7

I'm going to jump all over the place if that that works for you. Would you start, though, by just

1:47.4

telling the audience a little bit about your work, because I discovered you through Instagram,

1:52.4

and I started following you and I'm a fan of what you're creating, probably because my style

1:56.7

tends to run a bit more masculine. But tell everybody who you are creating your content for and the

2:03.3

work that you're doing. Yeah, absolutely. So I've been in the space now for a little over 14 years,

and I create stuff specifically for men because most men, especially my age, guys that are, you know,

2:17.1

older millennials, Gen X,

2:18.8

kind of grew up with this idea of it's effeminate or gay or dishonorable or whatever other

2:24.2

pejorative people wanted to throw at us when we were young. You're not supposed to care about your

2:28.0

clothing. And I work to help men understand that regardless of where you fall on any sort of a

2:34.0

spectrum or anything
