Episode Details

Have you ever opened your wardrobe and felt like you had nothing to wear… despite owning so much?

In this episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I sit down with Carlz J Soderstrom — a lifestyle photographer and visual storyteller whose work explores the deeper cultural shifts behind consumerism, identity and modern fashion.

What started as a conversation about Australian fashion quickly unfolds into something much bigger.

Together, we unpack:

• Why fast fashion has changed the way we consume
• The psychology behind overconsumption and “having nothing to wear”
• How social media is shaping identity through what we buy
• The disconnect between what’s marketed to us and what’s actually real
• Whether clothing today is designed to last — or to be replaced
• And how to reconnect with your own values, style and spending habits

This is not just a conversation about clothes.

It’s about awareness.

Because every unnecessary purchase doesn’t just take up space in your wardrobe…
it takes away from your ability to build long-term financial security and freedom.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of buying more but feeling less satisfied — this episode will change the way you think about fashion, money and yourself.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why modern fashion feels disposable
• How marketing influences your spending decisions
• The link between identity and consumer behaviour
• How to build a more intentional and timeless wardrobe
• Practical ways to spend less — without sacrificing style
