Let go of the fear. You're not your clothes. There's something that you wear and they can't express who you are, but don't be afraid to get rid of things that no longer serve you.

Facts do not have opinions. Just don't let perfection be the enemy of good.

Self love is really about self-respect and acceptance.

Welcome to the whole view. I'm Stacey Toth of Real Everything. I'm here each week to dive deeper into how we convey happiness and health inside and out, through self love, body positivity, and discovering new ways to be ourselves.

Before we get started, a reminder of this podcast is for general educational purposes, and it's not intended to diagnose, advise, or treat any physical or mental illness.

And we always recommend that you see a licensed professional accordingly.

So today we are going a little bit lighter and we're focusing on a fun topic because we're welcoming Terry Blair, the creator and CEO of nationally recognized image consulting and personal styling firm, the style studio.

And she prides herself on making a profound difference in people's lives with her work. Her slogan definitely hooked me. It's time to discover your authentic self, love the way you look and feel amazing about yourself.

And you may be wondering how to style relate to physical or mental health, but study show we spend one sixth of our life enhancing our appearance.

And I would much rather be spending that time on activities that feel meaningful and what I love is that carry has methods to both help you simplify and bring out your true self, not to mention, we couldn't talk fashion without diving into how it affects people and the planet.

So simplifying not only will give you time and mental space back, but help the earth to and carry once you to love the way you look every day and help you bust out of your styling right, which we talked about all the time on the show as how important our mental health is to our physical health.

Her focus is for participants to uncover their potential to lead confident happy and authentic lives by loving the way they look and feel every single day.

She truly believes it doesn't matter where you've been, what you do or what size you are, what matters is who you are and what's inside waiting to shine through.

So carry welcome to the show. Can you tell us a little more about yourself and what brought you to where you are today with, you know, styling people who are living as something that like, I don't know, that feels like an aspirational career for myself.

Like, I love shopping. I'll shop for other people. So how did that work out for you?

That's great. Well, first of all, thanks for having me, Stacy. It's great to be with you.

And this cut. So for me, styling is much deeper than what people originally think. So when I tell people I'm a personal stylist and I own a personal styling from people think, oh, that's so superficial, how you look shouldn't matter.

And maybe they're right, except for it does matter. I mean, we learned at a very young age that you never have a second chance to make a first impression, right?

And although we learned that nobody's doing much about it and let I mean celebrities are some people are, but really overall people don't think about it when they get dressed.

So my journey to answer your question, my journey started.

Oh my gosh, I was not well dressed in my teenagers and I moved high schools and started to kind of look at how I wanted to present myself and then I went into the corporate world.

And I noticed that I couldn't, I was in sales and I noticed I couldn't dress the same selling in New York to high level executives as I dressed in California or Texas.
