In this episode, celebrity stylist, Gayla Bentley, shares the secrets behind dressing with confidence at any size or budget.

From designer fashion to thrift store gems, Gayla’s approach proves that style isn't about your body—it’s about embracing who you are and showing up as her every day.

We talk about breaking the rules that don’t serve you, the hidden psychology of what we wear, and how to curate a wardrobe that reflects your goals, values, and joy.

Whether you’ve avoided shopping because nothing fits or you’re stuck in a style rut, Gayla’s insights will help you feel empowered, not overwhelmed, every time you get dressed.

Meet Gayla Bentley, the relatable author of “Fashion’s Stepsister: A Journey to Style!” With an illustrious background at Saks Fifth Avenue and years of fashion experience in Paris, Gayla blends timeless elegance with practicality. From poorly fitting undergar­ments to cookie-cutter trends, Gayla shows women how to refine their look with what they already own. Gayla’s magic comes alive on-air, offering on-the-spot makeovers for audience volunteers and feedback on listen­er-submitted photos. Whether on a podcast, radio show or YouTube stream, she delivers unforgettable moments. Her wit and wisdom leave audiences laughing, learning and feeling confident. Book her today for a fun, inspiring style conversation!

Gayla’s background in high-end retail, hosting client shopping tours through Paris, and the fashion designs she manufactured uniquely qualify her to speak about the fashion industry. A seasoned designer and former high-end retail stylist, she gained international attention after her appearance on Shark Tank where investors were drawn to her commitment to create elegant, high-quality fashion for sizes 12 and up.
