Fitting in feels safe. You follow the industry dress code. You copy what you see other successful women wearing. You tone yourself down because you think that's what will help you belong. But here's the truth. Fitting in is actually the greatest threat to belonging. When you change who you are to be accepted, you end up sacrificing your authenticity for a false sense of community. And that disconnect shows up in your style choices every single day.
True belonging requires being honest about who you are and showing up in a way that reflects your actual personality and energy, even when it doesn't fit the mold. When you stop dressing to fit in and start making aligned style choices, you lead with more presence, you attract the right clients, and you build real trust faster.
In this episode of The Visibility Shift, you'll learn why so many women are choosing to fit in with their style when what they really need is belonging. I'll share what happened when my client Natalee stopped anchoring every outfit in black, the research that proves authenticity is a business advantage, and how to start building the muscle of showing up authentically through your wardrobe.
