What if the clothes in your closet could unlock confidence, opportunity, and self-expression?

In this inspiring episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, host Lisa Andria speaks with personal stylist, author, and marketing consultant Holly Chayes about the powerful connection between style, identity, and confidence.

Holly specializes in helping people develop their everyday genuine style — the practical, day-to-day wardrobe decisions that influence how you show up in the world. From choosing what to wear for important meetings to feeling confident in your own body, Holly explains how personal style is about much more than fashion.

Before becoming a stylist and marketing strategist, Holly worked in theatrical costume design, where she learned that creating “magic” requires both creativity and structure. Today, she brings that same philosophy to helping clients build wardrobes that support their lives and businesses.

Lisa and Holly discuss how clothing can transform your mindset, shift limiting beliefs, and empower you to say YES to opportunities — whether that’s a spontaneous weekend trip, a speaking engagement, or stepping into a new phase of life.

Holly also shares insights into her work helping creative entrepreneurs build sustainable marketing systems, allowing artists and creatives to grow their businesses without burnout.

If you’ve ever struggled with what to wear, body confidence, or building a wardrobe that truly reflects who you are, this conversation will give you practical insights and inspiration.

• How clothing influences confidence and self-perception • The connection between style and personal identity • Why everyday wardrobe decisions matter more than big fashion moments • How personal style can remove limiting beliefs about your body • The surprising lessons Holly learned from costume design • How creatives can simplify their marketing and avoid burnout • Why building supportive systems is key to long-term success

Holly is the author of several style guides including:

• Holly’s Tiny Book of Style • Holly’s Guide to Dressing Your Body Shape with Care and Confidence • Holly’s Guide to Building Your Next Capsule Wardrobe

• The Shawl Geometry Series

She also created the Self-Made Wardrobe Project, where she wore only clothes she made herself for an entire year.

In this powerful episode of the Ladies Who Leap Podcast, host Lisa Andria sits down with author, educator, and consultant Thymai Dong-Sheehan to explore a life shaped by courage, faith, identity, and transformation.

Thymai’s memoir, The Beauties of My So-Called Asian Life, tells the story of fleeing Saigon as a Vietnamese refugee in 1975, growing up as an Asian American navigating belonging, rising to become a Chief Equity Officer in public education, and ultimately stepping away from her executive role to prioritize family and faith. And then leaping back into her consulting business.

In this deeply honest conversation, we explore:

✨ What it means to live “in the hyphen” as a Vietnamese-American ✨ Overcoming discrimination and reclaiming identity ✨ Faith, spirituality, and leadership in public education ✨ Navigating DEI work in today’s climate ✨ Caregiving, resilience, and redefining purpose ✨ The healing power of vulnerability and memoir writing ✨ Why forgiving yourself is often the hardest leap of all

Thymai shares how leaving a prestigious leadership role became her greatest leap of faith — choosing family over title, purpose over prestige, and inner transformation over external validation.

We also discuss her consulting company, Innervate 2 Educate, and why real transformation in education begins from the inside out.

If you care about:

• Immigrant stories

• Asian American identity

• Diversity, equity & inclusion

• Faith and spirituality

• Personal growth and resilience

• Caregiving and family transitions

• Writing a memoir
