Ep. #51 Becca Singer is an absolute GEM. She started her career in film development and production, but always had a love for fashion. Growing up in L.A. and New York City, she was inspired by the ability to express yourself through personal style. She draws upon inspiration from her mother at an early age and how styling herself was a passion from the beginning. Becca creates amazing styling guides online for celebrities, influencers and cool girl outfits for different events - “what you would wear to a *insert event here* if I was your stylist” or “Outfits Margot Robbie would wear if I were her stylist.” Every style guide is ON POINT. The way she captures each persons personality and each event so perfectly is truly an art. And she has NO formal training - she just has a natural gift. You HAVE to check them out - before she absolutely blows up. In this episode, we discuss: <ul><li>Starting a career in film</li><li>Creating a pickleball apparel line</li><li>Creating style guides online to becoming a full time stylist</li><li>How to build your personal style</li><li>Following trends - hot or not?</li><li>Evolution of fashion trends</li><li>Expressing yourself through what you wear</li><li>Consumerism - how to decide what to buy online and what to pass on</li><li>Believing in your dreams</li></ul>------------------------------If you enjoyed this podcast episode, it would mean the world if you please leave a rating and review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ Where to find Becca:Becca’s IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/styledbybeccasinger/" rel="nofollow">@styledbybeccasinger</a>Becca’s TikTok:  <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@styledbybeccasinger?lang=en" rel="nofollow">@styledbybeccasinger</a> Follow along! Instagram:Delaney’s IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dswifty/" rel="nofollow">@dswifty</a>Podcast IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/staroftheshowpodcast/" rel="nofollow">@staroftheshowpodcast</a>Delaney’s TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@delaneymswift" rel="nofollow">@delaneymswift</a>

Ep. #44 Recently, I feel as though I cracked the code to building confidence in myself - through embarrassment! It’s really a similar notion to “feel the fear and do it anyways.” By getting outside of our comfort zone and looking for ways to do things that may feel embarrassing to us in the moment, there is usually confidence on the other side of it. How can we expect to grow when we are staying where we are comfortable? This week, I challenge you to write down what embarrasses you and why AND to do at least one thing that embarrasses you. From now until the end of the year, I will be challenging myself to be embarrassed more often!POP!

Ep. #38 I’m finally telling the story of how my first business “failed.” I use quotes because I have learned that failure is only failure if you choose to let it hold you back. Failure is part of the process and only failure if you choose to not learn and grow from it. <ul><li>Career / job journey </li><li>Losing passion in a job</li><li>Taking care of my mental health </li><li>Developing a strict routine</li><li>Starting an online community and launching a business</li><li>Taking a risk by moving states</li><li>Quitting my corporate job without a “backup plan”</li><li>Going in and out of debt</li><li>Learning to pivot</li><li>Going back to corporate </li></ul> This used to feel really weird and vulnerable for me. But now, it just feels like something that was a part of my journey. It helped me learn so much about myself and what I really want in life.
