Episode #168. Dress for the life you want. The science of style

If you’re rebranding, reinventing yourself or stepping into a new chapter professionally or personally, finding your style matters more than you think. Psychology shows that your sense of style doesn’t just change how others see you — it changes how you think, feel and perform. This is known as enclothed cognition: the science behind why clothing influences confidence, decision-making and presence. So don’t overlook this important role style plays in your personal brand and its visual identity.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why dressing better and finding your style will elevate your performance

  • How style supports your ideal identity and creates confidence, leadership and executive presence

  • The link between personal branding, visual identity and self-belief

  • Developing a signature style that feels most aligned to you

  • How to dress for the version of you you’re becoming — not who you used to be

  • Practical ways to align your wardrobe with your dream life (without a full overhaul)

If you’re navigating a career shift, personal rebrand or life change, or simply want to feel more confident and intentional in how you show up, this is for you. Style isn’t superficial — it’s a daily signal to your nervous system about who you are and what you stand for.

  • Dress with intention


  • Build confidence from the inside out through the clothes you wear


  • Reinvent your visual personal brand with clarity and presence
