In this deeply honest and empowering episode, we talk to Erin Wallace, head of marketing at ModeSens, and formerly of ThredUp and Crossroads Trading. She’s a fashion marketing powerhouse, creative leader, and style icon in her own right. Erin shares how her personal style became her superpower in the workplace, why she didn’t truly find “her look” until her late 30s, and how fashion helped her step into leadership after a major life transition.

We also get real about what happens when your body changes in midlife, why some outfits feel like home and others feel like costumes, and what it means to truly feel like yourself in your clothes.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you can be taken seriously while dressing boldly—or felt like your closet was full of pieces for someone you used to be—this one’s for you.

We talk about:

• How style can be a “positive weapon” in your career
• The link between confidence, clothing, and authenticity
• What to do when your go-to jeans stop fitting during peri- and post- menopause
• The internal feeling of knowing when an outfit is “you”
• Erin’s advice for anyone second-guessing their bold style in a boardroom
• Her go-to styling tricks (hint: it starts with rolling up your sleeves)
• Why you should find your own pink plaid suit
