I’m currently at my parents’ house getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving. We have the turkey ready to go into the oven, the adults are lounging around watching old movies, and I brought a good book to curl up with. As I sit here, I am crazy grateful for this beautiful mess I call my life […]

Level-headed. Relaxed. Calm. Laid back. I’m talking about my dad, the chillest man I know. (This issue is for him.) I once thought he may be hiding a secret love for weed because he’s THAT chill. Turns out he’s never tried it in his entire life. It’s just his demeanor. I remember loving to be around my dad […]

In 2020, many of us found ourselves in a style rut. Big stretchy pants, loose shirts, and house slippers became the world’s uniform. I am sorry to say that not even I could escape this trend, Tiffany. In March of that year… I wore pajamas for seven days straight. During that week, I noticed I […]

I’ll never forget these wise words from a French woman I met who seemed to have it all figured out: “There are three things you do every day, Tonya. Eat, get dressed, and spend time in your home. Master these three things.” At the time, I was struggling with my weight, my go-to outfit was […]

Style is about SO much more than the clothes we wear, Tiffany. It’s a language we speak to the world. It’s manifesting who we are becoming. A wealthy woman, a joyful woman, a bold woman. To catalyze your personal RENAISSANCE and embody that woman, you must first dress the part. This does NOT mean you have to rush […]

I spent most of my early adulthood taking action for one purpose: to achieve a goal. Now, don’t get me wrong, Tiffany, I love a good goal. In fact, I encourage every single woman within the School of Self-Image to choose an Extraordinary Goal for the year. Goals grow us. Goals guide us.Goals focus us… … but if […]
