Today's episode is a vulnerable one because I'm not talking about something I've always been great at. I'm talking about something that used to have me completely trapped: impulse shopping.
And I don't mean snagging an extra lip gloss on your way to the checkout counter at Sephora. I'm talking about emotional spending — those quick "add to cart" moments that promise to boost your confidence but never quite deliver. The one-off purchases for a party or event that don't go with anything else in your closet. The "almost right" pieces you talk yourself into, only to regret later. The sale finds that seemed too good to pass up but never make it into your regular rotation.
You tell yourself you'll wear them eventually, but deep down, you know you won't. And instead of feeling more confident, you're left with more clutter, more guilt, and that same sinking feeling every time you open your closet.
I know how hard that cycle can feel because I've lived it. And if I can break it, you absolutely can, too.
If you're tired of wasting money on clothes you don't wear, this episode will help you understand what's really going on behind those impulse buys. And by the end of this conversation, you'll know what you need to do to shop with strategy, confidence, and clarity—so you can finally have a well-curated wardrobe that works, open your closet and see only "yes" pieces, and get ready for your day in five minutes flat.
This is the episode I wish I'd heard 20 years ago. But it's never too late to break the cycles that aren't serving you. Let's make today a defining moment in your style journey and start making smart investments to build a wardrobe you love.
