You keep saying you’ll buy new clothes when you lose the weight. When you feel more confident. When your body is “back to normal.”

But what if that belief is the very thing keeping you stuck and delaying your growth?

In this episode of Woman On The Rise, I’m diving into the quiet, almost automatic way so many women delay their self-expression—telling themselves they have to earn the right to feel stylish. It’s subtle. It’s common. And it’s deeply disempowering.

Whether your closet is filled with old sizes, pieces you plan to “shrink into,” or outfits that no longer reflect who you are, this episode will help you shift into something far more powerful: dressing for your now body—and becoming the woman you’re already becoming.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

Why style isn’t a reward, it’s a resource
How delaying your wardrobe upgrade delays your growth
The emotional toll of holding onto “goal clothes”
What happens when self-expression becomes size-dependent
The identity shift that unlocks confidence in your current body

If you’re tired of waiting to feel amazing, this episode will remind you: You don’t need to change your body to rise—you just need to reclaim your presence.
