The Style Project: a podcast about body love, self esteem and personal style – Details, episodes & analysis

Nat Tolhopf is the queen of imperfect action. 

She’s a business coach, author and speaker, and everyone’s biggest cheerleader in business and in life, her energy and positivity is infectious!

In this best bits episode Nat and I chat about flipping the “f#$k it” switch at 40, but also learn about how a physical ailment changed Nat’s view of herself, for the better.

Wow, who would have thought having your face paralysed like Nat would help her see how beautiful she actually was. 

Nat’s courage and determination to just keep on keeping on, and not letting an change in her physical appearance derail her is amazing. 

She just keep walking the walk of imperfect action. but isn’t it also a testament to her resilience and confidence, that she just keep going.

Rebekah Homes, aka Becks is a professional organiser and declutterer, and owner of TSSS and Clutter Collect.

In this Best Bits snippet, Becks and I chat about why liking her body is a practical decision (like a lot of things in Becks life).

We discuss the idea of body neutrality, and why it’s important to not blame your body when things don’t work on you.

I just really love the perspective Becks has on her relationship with her body. She says it as a vessel to get stuff done (our business coach Nat would be proud!). 

Becks has a very understated body confidence, and I love that for her! Working together, we built off that confidence and gave her the tools to use her confidence to elevate her style.

Nat is the ultimate cheerleader you want in your corner, as a business coach, and as a friend.

She's not afraid to tell it how it is (and drop the occasional f-bomb) but that's why we all love her!

Nat suffered a Bell's Palsy, which paralysed half her face, and it was the turning point in her journey with her own body image.

This amazing lady has done it all! From Winter Olympian, to boogie-ing away on Dancing With The Stars to hosting The Crowd Goes Wild, Anna Wilcox is inspiring.

She is so down to earth, and wise beyond her years. She's so sure of the person that she is, no matter what she looks like, and really appreciates the body she has for what it does.

We may se\way into a bit of wedding chat too if you're down for that haha

We've also coined the hashtag #JUSTBODIES! Have a listen to find out how that came about.

My styling BFF Monique, or Mo to her friends, is one of those people that I could talk to for EVER!
And in this episode we cover so much more than just a quick chat about body image and personal style.
There's sex-talk, birth stories, discussions about 'fat' as a dirty word, and we delve a little deeper into why people (mostly women) feel the need to judge themselves and others bodies.
This is a longer-than-usual chat, but we'd love you to stick around.

Find Mo on Instagram here @dressingup_moniquedoy,  on Facebook here - Dressing Up with Monique Doy, or visit her website, Dressing Up.

Meet Rebekah - she's a bundle of positive energy and always has a fun yarn to share. She's a mumma to her boy, Otis, and runs The Ship Shape Shoppe - a professional organizing and decluttering business.

I know her style quite intimately, as she is actually one of my 1-on-1 style coaching clients so it was nice to hear from her putting into practice some of the lessons we learnt in our session!

Join us as we chat all things personal style, body image, and self esteem, and how they're all linked.
