How The Way You Dress is a Tool to Increase Confidence and Income with Stylist Chellie Carlson

Today’s guest, Chellie Carlson, is an LA-based stylist and creative entrepreneur who has built her brand around one powerful belief: when a woman feels confident and magnetic in how she presents herself, everything in her life begins to shift—including her income. But Chellie’s path wasn’t conventional. She started her business at 40 years old with less than $10,000—proving that it’s never too late to build something powerful from the ground up. What began as a personal realization quickly turned into a mission: helping women understand that style isn’t superficial—it’s strategic. The way you dress communicates before you ever speak, shaping how you’re perceived, how you’re treated, and ultimately, the opportunities you attract. Through her work, Chellie has helped women move from playing small and dressing “safe” to showing up with intention, confidence, and presence—becoming magnetic in both their personal and professional lives. In this episode, we dive into her journey of starting over, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and why so many women resist investing in how they show up. If you’ve ever underestimated the power of your presence—or questioned whether style really matters—this conversation might just change the way you see yourself. How to know when resistance means to press on or if it’s a warning signal. This is Chellie's story. @chelliecarlson [https://www.instagram.com/chelliecarlson/#] RESOURCES FREE STORY METHOD GUIDE [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocb473SlcXLHNDiN3WsRPzTniTV5-A-_/view?usp=sharing]- to help you process, own and share your story   FOLLOW @alexisnandra  @shifthappensthepod

Why High-Achieving Women Still Struggle with Belonging

If you answered yes to any of those questions today’s conversation is for you. On this episode of Shift Happens, I’m sitting down with Maeva — founder of Flying Cat Marketing, and a third culture kid who spent 15 years living abroad, and a woman navigating who she is as her business changes and as she prepares to be a mom.  We talk about what it means to grow up between cultures and how that shapes your sense of self. How homeschooling influenced her independence. What it’s like to move “home” and realize it doesn’t feel like home anymore.  This episode is about identity. Belonging. Letting go. And learning to meet yourself honestly in seasons of transition. This is Maeva's story.  @maevaeverywhere RESOURCES FREE STORY METHOD GUIDE [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocb473SlcXLHNDiN3WsRPzTniTV5-A-_/view?usp=sharing]- to help you process, own and share your story   FOLLOW @alexisnandra  @shifthappensthepod

From Childhood Trauma to Dating After Divorce with Lauren

From being bullied by the same group of girls from middle school through high school… to surviving third-degree burns as a young child… Lauren knows what it feels like to walk through pain early in life and carry the weight of those experiences. And like so many women, life didn’t stop throwing curveballs. In this conversation, we talk about how those early wounds shape confidence, what it really takes to rebuild your identity after hardship, and how to move forward when your life doesn’t look the way you once imagined—including what it’s like navigating the dating world after divorce. Because the truth is, owning your story isn’t always clean or polished. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. But sometimes the very things we want to hide… are the things that end up setting us free. This is Lauren’s story.     RESOURCES FREE STORY METHOD GUIDE [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocb473SlcXLHNDiN3WsRPzTniTV5-A-_/view?usp=sharing]- to help you process, own and share your story   FOLLOW @alexisnandra  @shifthappensthepod

How to Stop Tying Your Worth to Productivity with Rich Wife co founder Kaylyn Noonan

So many of us have learned to measure our worth by how much we produce, how much we achieve, how much we can hold together. From the outside, it can look like everything is working. But internally… there’s a quiet tension. A lack of peace. A feeling that something is missing. Today’s conversation is for the woman who’s doing everything “right”— and still feels unfulfilled. I’m sitting down with Kaylyn, co-founder of Richwife, a lifestyle brand built around redefining what it truly means to be “rich.” But this isn’t just a conversation about business—this is about identity. We talk about what happens when your worth becomes tied to productivity… the moment you realize success isn’t the same as peace… and the courage it takes to set boundaries, shift your environment, and realign your life with what actually matters. If you’ve ever felt like you’re striving, achieving, checking all the boxes… but still not fully at peace—this episode is going to meet you right where you are. This is Kaylyn’s story.
