trust in joy

Trust in Joy is a space for personal power, reinvention, and beauty that begins within. Through writing, podcasting and real life conversations, I share what it means to live beautifully—and help others do the same.

Current Focus

My journey has evolved from guiding women and men to express themselves authentically through their clothes, to empowering readers and podcast listeners to step into a life that they WANT, instead of settling.

My primary focus has shifted to writing, podcasting and community offerings.Yet I feel it is important to have a HUMAN resource for something so intimate—dressing your body!Too often I see seasoned professionals discontinue 1:1 services in the name of expansion. I feel that is a disservice; we still deeply need a person to hear us and provide expert, honest, warm feedback.This is why I continue to allow 3 personal styling sessions per month—for those who want their style questions answered!
