Being Powerful Feels Scary

It began during a reflective evening on my balcony, sipping iced matcha as the sun dipped below the horizon — a revelation hit me!?My styling services were only scratching the surface of what my clients truly needed ??

For the last two years, I've enjoyed the privilege of working with brilliant women who do brilliant things.

?

Yet... I noticed a disheartening pattern.

?

These brilliant women weren't just battling wardrobe woes. They were contending with the fear of what it truly means to be seen and recognized for their accomplishments and capabilities ??

Despite investing their hard-earned cash into my style services, many of my clients had a mental block that prevented them from reaching the final stage of their style transformation ??

?

?? The block wasn't updating their wardrobe because cash was not the problem ??

?? It wasn't discovering the up-leveled versions of themselves because lack of vision was no longer an issue ??

?? Nor was it uncertainty in the styling results because their new style was enviable ??

?

Their hesitation to enter their stylish era was palpable. It became clear that many brilliant women are afraid to be perceived as powerful ??

?

A deep-seated fear of stepping into their power stopped them from entering the final phase of their transformation journey. But why?

?

Well, it turns out, wielding power is scary.

?

Power means visibility, accountability, and dare I say, vulnerability ??

This revelation reshaped not only my business but my entire approach to what I do. It wasn’t enough to preach to my clients about who they would become; I was ready to guide them through the mental barriers holding them back ??

?

Take my client, Camilla, for example. She's a dynamic lawyer with judicial aspirations ??

?

She came to me feeling uncertain despite her career of 10+ years. Together, we embarked on a journey of style transformation that changed how she dressed and how she saw herself.

In photos of Camilla announcing her candidacy, anyone could see the confidence she gained was undeniable. She was a FORCE to be reckoned with when she fully embraced her role as a community leader ??????

?

She was ready to stand out!

As a Style Coach, my work dives deep into actionable mindset shifts and narrative changes so brilliant women go from feeling invisible to feeling invincible ??
