What Not To Wear to Wear Whatever the F You Want: Clinton and Stacy are Making a Comeback, and I'm Excited!!!

Did anyone else binge-watch What Not to Wear in early-2000s?

Are you having flashbacks to Stacy London’s iconic grey streak, Clinton Kelly’s sharp-but-kind sass, and that magical montage where someone’s entire life seemed to transform in a department store fitting room?

If you were anything like me, you weren’t just watching—you were fantasizing about getting nominated. About throwing your old clothes in that little silver trash can (RIP sweats and graphic tees), flying to New York, and having your style rewritten by the kind and queen of fashion.Well, yesterday my fangirl geekedout heart went wild when I saw that Stay and Clinton are making a comeback on Amazon next week. And I will be binge watching again.

Only this time, my fandom has evolved.

That show planted the seeds for the work I do now.

Because underneath the “toss this, wear that” advice was something deeper:

A transformation. A reclamation. A woman remembering who she was.

Now, as a grown woman who’s lived through burnout, identity loss, and the slow unraveling that happens when you try to be everything for everyone, and who has made my life about helping other women avoid the same results, I see fashion clearly.

It’s never just about clothes.

It’s about finding your voice. Owning your style. Showing up as you–not just some version of yourself you were told was “acceptable.”

That’s what I do as Your Real Life Fairy Godmother™. I don’t just give fashion advice. I help them remember who they are.

What’s funny is that when people ask what I do, I’ve often said some version of this: If Marvin Golden (the religion teacher turned entrepreneur in me), Iyanla Vanzant (the spiritually based personal development coach), and Clinton Kelly (the empathic make-over king) had a baby, you’d get me.

I work with women who’ve mastered the art of performing and people-pleasing but have lost themselves in the process. Women who know their skills and their resumes, but never really tapped into who they are. Women who are ready to stop feeling invisible and have their own real life happily ever after moment.

And working with modern, real life Cinderellas has taught me this:

You don’t need a makeover.

You don’t need a permission slip.

You don’t need someone to nominate you.

You just need to rediscover your magic. To remember who you are. To start writing your own story.

And fashion is just one tool–a powerful one–to help you reclaim your confidence and power in life.

Because when you know who you are, you show up differently. You make decisions differently. You lead differently. You live differently.

So yes, I’ll be watching Stacy and Clinton’s comeback. But I won’t just be watching for the clothes.

And I’ll be cheering for every burned-out Cinderella who’s ready to take her glass slipper to the glass ceilings that have been holding her back.

So here’s to Wear Whatever the F You Want.

Your Real Life Fairy Godmother™ will be watching and cheering you on!
