From Sweatpants to Style: Reclaiming Your Wardrobe in Midlife
Feeling uncomfortable or unsure in your clothes during midlife is more common than we talk about—and it has nothing to do with your worth.
In this episode, we explore how to feel more confident in your clothes as a woman in midlife, especially as your body changes during perimenopause and menopause. We talk about why what once worked in your closet may no longer feel right and how confidence is less about size and more about understanding your body, honoring this season of life, and dressing with intention.
You’ll learn practical, compassionate strategies to help you feel comfortable and confident in your clothes, including how hormones affect body shape, why self-criticism shows up more loudly in midlife, and how small wardrobe shifts can make a big impact on self-esteem.
This episode is an empowering reminder that you don’t need to “fix” your body—you deserve clothes that fit you now. Feeling confident in your clothes can be a powerful act of self-care and an important part of midlife wellness.
✨ Perfect for women in midlife who want to feel confident, comfortable, and at home in their bodies again.
