 In this episode of Make It You, I’m breaking down why the wrong outfit can completely shift your confidence and how to make sure you never feel unprepared, out of place, or disconnected from yourself again.

 You’ll learn:

Money changes things. And when women start making more of it, everything shifts — how we lead, how we show up, and the power we hold in business.

In this episode, Tannya sits down with Ashli Pollard, founder of The Do-ers, who previously worked with some of the biggest names in fashion, including Gucci, Prada, and Oscar de la Renta.

After seeing firsthand what makes brands scale (and what makes them fail), Ashli now helps women build profitable, sustainable businesses without burning themselves out.

You’ll learn:
 • Why styling is strategy
 • The hidden cost of last-minute outfit decisions
 • How to elevate your image without overthinking it

Because when your style aligns with who you’re becoming, you move differently.

After 16 years of styling real women — stay-at-home moms, executives, speakers, women who travel for work and show up on camera — this episode is rooted in what truly gets worn in real life, not what looks good f...

In this week’s episode of the Make It You Podcast, I’m sharing the real lessons 2025 taught me — not the highlight reel, but the behind-the-scenes growth.

If you’re closing out the year feeling proud, tired, clearer, or all of the above, this e...
