Speaker 1 (0:00) In this episode, we are learning how to reset the ritual of how you go to your closet every morning. This is step one. It's a super easy step, but the most important, and I can't wait for you to learn it. Hi, I'm Casey, your fashion bestie, and the creator of the Fashion Wellness Revolution, where I show you that style is not as hard as you think. You have just been over-influenced, pushed down, and not allowed to shine. We tend to think it's our closet that's holding us back when it's actually our relationship with it and how we've been taught since we were young. This podcast is where we are going to fix that. Coming to you from my closet, welcome to the Fashion Wellness Podcast. Today I have my notes in front of me. Sometimes I write a script for you all and sometimes I have bullet points and then I riff. Today is a riffing day. If you are watching me on YouTube, you will see my notes. flying in front of me, and we are going to riff off my bullet points for today. Okay, in the last few episodes, you have heard me talk about resetting the ritual. We are resetting the ritual of how you go to your closet every morning so it holds more joy and positivity. And so then when we walk out of our closet, that is what we bring with us the rest of the day. Right now, what I talked about before was that we go to our closets with a lot of angst and frustration, and we go in there like, I have nothing to wear. I'm sick of everything. Like all of this, whatever this is, the angst, right? And then you walk out of your closet. You put that on in your closet and then you walk out of your closet wearing that. And that is not where we want to be. So how do we reset this ritual? The very, very, very starting point I teach anybody is take a pause. What was that? Take a pause. What was that? Take a pause. It's one of my main slogans in the fashion wellness revolution. And when you hear take a pause, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, oh my gosh, Casey is going to tell us to do a no-buy year. And I'm not, okay? I'm not going to tell you to do a no-buy year. I have had people that have come to me that have wanted to do it, and I lead them through it. And it's a coaching I can do if you want it. But I never want to force anyone to do. a no-buy year. They can do it if they want. They can do a few months if they want. They can do one month. They cannot do it at all. That is why I am here. I am here. So I do the no-buy years and I come teach you all about everything I have learned. So then you don't have to if you don't want to do a no-buy year. I will tell you nothing can replace a no-buy year. You learn so much. But That is not what the take a pause is about. The take a pause is a slogan I like to use in so many parts of our life when it comes to style and image. It is a pause from the noise. It is a pause from the overconsumption. It is the pause for the pressures we get for being a woman. It's really this deep breath and this pause to recalibrate where we are at. and the trust we have in ourselves. Okay, I know, maybe I'm not making sense. So let's rewind this a little bit, right? So imagine it's when you are thinking of image or thinking of trends or thinking of buying something or thinking of social media and keeping up with the Joneses. You know that spinny feeling in your head, that overthinking, that judging of yourself and others, that kind of jumble, all that noise
