In this episode of Women of Aurora, Marisol Perez talks with Jodi Doyle, a sustainable transformational stylist and founder of UpLevel Redesign. Jodi opens up about her journey from creative burnout to discovering her calling of helping women reconnect with themselves through intentional style.
If you’ve ever stood in front of a full closet thinking you have “nothing to wear,” this episode is for you. Jodi shares how personal style goes far beyond trends and fashion—it’s about self-worth, energy, and identity. You’ll learn what a Wardrobe Wake-Up looks like, why thrifting is powerful (and planet-friendly), and how releasing old clothes can release emotional baggage too.
We also talk about:
- Why confidence starts in your closet
- How fast fashion fuels overwhelm and what to do instead
- Creating a wardrobe that fits your life and your future self
- The emotional and energetic weight of clothes we’ve outgrown
- How to dress like you—no matter your age, stage, or size
Jodi’s approach is equal parts stylist, coach, and closet therapist. Whether you’re craving a fresh start or just tired of the “nothing to wear” cycle, her wisdom will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and ready to make your wardrobe work for you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
