“From Corporate Life to Style Maven: My Journey”

Choosing a career can be challenging; often, you don’t truly know what you will love until you step into the role. 

 

Reflecting on my journey years later, I often wonder why I didn’t pursue a career in fashion, especially since I enjoyed taking fashion and art classes in high school. 

 

Pursuing what you love is not just about financial success; it’s about finding joy in your work. Many people shy away from this pursuit, but it can lead to great fulfillment and a truly rewarding sense of purpose.

 

After a year of teaching at my first job after college, I quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit. This realization prompted a career change into the corporate world, leading me to the unglamorous world of a software company. 

 

While the job paid well and allowed me to enjoy the hustle and bustle of NYC, it was during this time that I discovered a strength within myself that I never knew I had—public speaking.

 

I had the opportunity to give a presentation on feng shui during our department’s team-building day, including practical tips on dressing for the summer. 

 

That day was pivotal; my colleagues noticed my enthusiasm and encouraged me to pursue this newfound passion. Feng shui became more than just a topic of interest; it opened the door to understanding my inner energy and the energy of the spaces around me. 

 

I learned that feng shui could become a business and discovered a certification program in Edgewater, New Jersey, one of the most exciting programs I had ever experienced. 

 

It was eye-opening to learn about the energy of space, the power of our thoughts, and what happens when you view your environment through feng shui.

 

Thus, a new journey began as I leaped into entrepreneurship, exploring my business in a new way.

 

One aspect of entrepreneurship rarely discussed is the necessity of visibility—the ability to sell yourself—and the skills required to run a business. It can feel overwhelming to tackle all of this at once.

 

Leaving a job that doesn’t align with your passions can be a liberating experience. Stepping into a world of speaking and marketing and establishing yourself as an expert in your field may present a significant learning curve. Still, it’s also a journey of empowerment and self-discovery.

 

Change can be beneficial; it reveals both your weaknesses and strengths.

 

I built my business through speaking, networking, and client referrals. However, there was more to discover. That’s when I came across Fashion Feng Shui and learned how to dress with intention.

 

This new tool excited me so much that I decided to become a fashion feng shui practitioner. My business evolved as I blended feng shui and fashion feng shui services, working with clients on their homes and wardrobes and giving talks at Kenneth Cole and Elie Tahari.

 

As my business grew, I also evolved, realizing that I had outgrown many of my Feng Shui tools. As a business owner, I recognized that women needed to understand the power of their wardrobe to become more visible globally. 

 

In recent years, I have rebranded my business to focus on helping women reinvent themselves through style, especially during career transitions. They must become more visible in their industries and step into leadership roles.

 

Throughout my journey, I’ve understood the crucial role of support in our lives. When we feel confident on the inside, our wardrobe becomes a powerful tool to reflect who we are becoming. This enhances our confidence and communicates our worth before we say a word. When we look good, the path to success unfolds with greater joy, and having the right support can make this journey smoother and more fulfilling.

 

My experiences have given me a wealth of knowledge about career transitions and business growth. I am passionate about styling clients in these areas, as I truly understand their fears and desires.
