Do you find yourself feeling uninspired by your closet each morning? You want to look stylish and feel good … but without all the effort? I was in the same position before I was introduced to today’s special guest, personal stylist Lora LaPratt. Like many of you, I believed a stylist wouldn’t be able to help someone in a larger body. But those assumptions could be holding you back from looking and, most importantly, FEELING amazing in your own style.

My goal with this podcast is to empower you to move beyond size and understand that your worth isn’t defined by it. That’s why I’m thrilled to welcome Lora to today’s show, to share her expert insights into creating a wardrobe that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Lora is committed to getting to know her clients personally and helping them express their unique style based on their interests, body shape, coloring, and lifestyle. She believes that comfort and happiness are the keys to great outfits, and she’s a big fan of high rise trousers! Ready to upgrade your closet game? Let’s dig in!
