Episode 17 Transcript
Heather:
All right, well, welcome to the podcast, Adele. How are you?
Adele L:
I'm terrific today. Thank you so much for having me, Heather, and being flexible. I've been a little unwell, my throat's a little bit croaky, but I'm feeling so grateful that my health is returning.
Heather:
Yes, perfect. And you sound great. And thank you for being here as well. So we're going to have a really great chat. Um, we'll get into it guys on how I know Adele coming up a little bit later. But before we do that, I would love to start Adele with you telling everyone in your own words, what does your business do?
Adele L:
Thank you Heather. So I'm a personal wardrobe stylist, which means lots of things to lots of different people. Often people ask me if I work with celebrities, but I don't. I work in a transformation space with the everyday person because we all wear clothes all of the time, most of the time. And it's a huge opportunity for us to feel better, to leverage more opportunities in our life when we're looking. how we want to look and representing a more authentic version of ourselves. So I take people on that journey of identifying what it is that they would like to change and what they struggle with when it comes to their wardrobe, shopping and clothes in general. And in a really short space of time, about 10 to 15 hours is the process. We take quantum leaps at the end of it. People go from being skeptical and nervous about shopping to being confident. knowing their own style better,
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
understanding that it's an ever evolving space and really leveraging the power that clothes can give us to feel good and feel energized and optimized to take on the challenges that we have every day with renewed energy. So that's my core business and I'm also a event MC and a interview preparation coach so it all sits under
Heather:
Oh my gosh.
Adele L:
the banner of image
Heather:
I better ask you good questions. So good.
Adele L:
You're the one that's coaching me at the moment, Heather.
Heather:
I love what you're building and I definitely have some specific questions around style coming up. But I want to know why you started your business. And actually, let's take a step back. What did you do before you did your business? And then tell me why you started it.
Adele L:
So most of my life I've been a project management professional. So that is a really neat way of saying that I've done lots of different things in lots of different contexts under the banner of a project manager. So whether it be community development events or business support systems improvement or my most recent appointment was I was... managing medical research programs for a not-for-profit child health institute. So I've done lots of different things and that has spanned different countries. So I've lived in France, Scotland and Australia and throughout the regions in Australia, Albany and Kalgoorlie, which for those who don't know, that's a remote mining town to a deep agricultural town. So project management really embodies and has embodied variety. and upskilling in lots of different spaces, becoming a Jane of all trades.
Heather:
Ha ha.
Adele L:
And over the years I've had lots of micro businesses as well, a project management consultancy in amongst that and lots of creative based businesses that set me up to really launch Aesthetica with Gusto.
Heather:
Excellent. And so why fashion? Why style? Why this line of work?
Heather:
What's drawn you to it?
Adele L:
Yeah lots of people ask me this question and sometimes I feel that there's an expected answer you know like I've always worked in fashion or I've always loved fashion or something like that and it's not that. I launched Aesthetica with a very strategic view and plan in mind and that was essentially to add value to the world by enabling myself to be the most fulfilled when I'm running my own business and I'm living in a high risk space where I yield all the benefits of that. So all of my work in project management has been high risk, high stress. And whilst that's been rewarding, that's always been for organizations or communities or employers. And that only means that you only get back some of what you put in. But when you're a business owner, you get back everything or the nothing that you're putting in. And for me, that represents a deep connection to being fully responsible for my life, very autonomous, very creative, and deeply connected to my mission and purpose. So Aesthetica, whilst it is a business and a platform for all of those things, ultimately it was with self-fulfillment in mind. And styling is a wonderful vehicle for transformation. And I've always worked in some space of transformation, whether it be coaching teams and individuals to become, reach their potential, developing talent within my teams, developing talent within myself. So it's funny, Closed has... very little to do with what I actually do. Transformation and coming to terms with where you wanna be in life and how you get there and close
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
in my particular instance is how you get there. And it's about 20% of the yield and 80% of it is this transformation and psychology that you go through to give yourself permission to become that better version of yourself. So that's a really unexpected answer that I give to people, but that's the truth. For my fulfillment, for other people's fulfillment.
Heather:
And definitely spoken, I see, I hear the project management mindset coming into that as well. So the way you describe that is really interesting. And the fact that you truly are working in the space of transformation. So I'd like to ask some further questions around that because our listeners are people that are trying to break the cycle of stress
Adele L:
Hmm
Heather:
and endless hustle. And I mean, we all go into it, let's be honest in our business and the growth of our business, we all go in these moments of craziness.
Heather:
But if you're living in that space for a long time, I, and I used to be in that space and in, you know, years back where your appearance literally takes a back seat.
Heather:
You tend to, I don't know, you stop, is it lack of self care
Heather:
or, um, you're just so in the moment putting out fires that you don't even think about you as a vehicle or a brand, a representation of your business. So for those listening that. are in that moment where they're thinking, you know, I put my style out the back door a long time ago. What would be some tips or some ideas or mindset processes perhaps that they could go through to bring themselves back into the value of themselves?
Adele L:
Yeah, so I always like to compare this to something that I'm not good at, that is perfectly relatable to what I am good at. So I'm not a great cook, I don't enjoy cooking. However, I do enjoy living a healthy life and having a healthy lifestyle. So for other people cooking is something that they do naturally as therapy for enjoyment, it's part of their thought routine and That is a great definition of self-care, isn't it? It's nourishing to do the act of cooking and the process of cooking, not to mention the dish that you get at the end of cooking. And for those people that can do that, they have simple tried and true processes that they go through, which yield a basic outcome at the end. And it's the same with style. So for me, when it comes to approaching cooking, number one, I have to simplify the process. Otherwise if it's overwhelming and if I'm attempting to cook a complicated dish or attempting to cook at all sometimes it's too hard and I bow out. So when it comes to style the very first place that you can start is and this may seem like quite a profound question but or or concept but the first place to start is that you are worthy of looking good. Lots of people feel that it's something that they can diminish or undermine or minimize because they haven't really stepped into that place of looking good is about you knowing that you're worthy of looking good. And looking good is a very subjective space. That could be for a stay at home mum, wearing a fresh pair of leggings every day instead of a pair that they've been wearing for three days. Or it could be, stepping into
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
a nice pair of fitted linen pants that help them to feel and look more put together when they're just at home. Or for a business person, it could be wearing a very well-tailored suit. Whatever your definition is, often the first stumbling block is around that question of worthiness. Who am I to be looking this good? Who am I to be looking how I want to look? And that's... unless we stop and even consider that for a few seconds, it's harder to go further. So that in the first instance is whatever your definition of how you imagine your best self looking and if we think about that feeling that we have when we're going to a special occasion, a wedding, a ball, a dinner and we get dressed up and that feeling of looking good, that can be an everyday occurrence for you, not necessarily formal dressing, but that feeling of looking how you want to look can be an everyday occurrence. So it really starts here. And then the practicality of that, there's many ways, but in terms of basics, start with the knowledge that you are worthy of looking good and feeling good. It really is about feeling good and that you deserve to wear clothes that fit you perfectly and that are comfortable. Lots of us are not wearing clothes that fit us perfectly. or that are comfortable because that initial question isn't addressed of, am I really worthy of wearing clothes that fit me and make me feel great? That's often the starting point with clients. Now they can be very profound, sort of quantum leaps that you feel that you're taking in a very practical right now step, tidying up your wardrobe and going to your wardrobe and removing things that you haven't worn for a long time. is a great cleansing, leveling process of bringing you right into the moment, right now, of where you are in your life because our clothes represent stories, many, many past versions, excuse me, of ourselves. So bringing yourself right into the present is a very centering, again, brings you, it's your worthy of bringing right where you are, of coming right where you are in your life right now, by... Letting go of those clothes that no longer serve you, creating a bit of a gap and some vacuums in your wardrobe and going, wow, I've been holding onto a lot of clutter. Usually we only wear 20% of our wardrobe, 80% of it is redundant. So that simple act of cleansing your wardrobe can bring you into the present and can open you up to new possibilities of what would I like to wear? What is my current job or lifestyle or choices requiring of me? Am I wanting to date? Am I... wanting to, you know, have I gotten a bit lazy? Is my partner sort of maybe, could I reinvigorate my relationship by changing what I'm wearing? So two things, that question of you are worthy of looking good and feeling good in your clothes and that's the psychological aspect and the practical aspect is going to your wardrobe and getting rid of things that you haven't worn or won't, aren't planning on wearing.
Heather:
really smart. You said a couple of things in there that I liked. One of them was how your clothes make you feel. And if you're in this sort of endless cycle of overwhelm as you're growing your business, then You also want to look at things to break that pattern. And so focusing on things that you have control over, such as your wardrobe, your clothes, what you put on each day can really assist you with how you're
Adele L:
Yes.
Heather:
feeling. And then that energy that you're feeling will be put out to your clients,
Adele L:
Mm.
Heather:
to the world as a whole. I know many people that get caught up in a lot of, you know, challenging moments in business. And then it's almost like that energy. is put out to the world
Adele L:
Absolutely.
Heather:
and then they stop attracting clients to them.
Adele L:
Absolutely.
Heather:
You know, cyclical.
Adele L:
Yes, and it is so many... life is energy. Everything that we're connected to
Heather:
Yes.
Adele L:
is energy. Our connection to ourselves is energy and that's... that is a documented... that's not just a metaphysical woo-woo. That's a... I listened to a Mel Robbins podcast the other week which was...
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
A gentleman had done his PhD in synchronicities, which is essentially energy and attracting into our life, what we put out. And that moment in your wardrobe at the beginning of every day is a moment of going, where am I at? How can I put out some good energy by being connected to some good energy by wearing clothes that make me feel good? And that's not necessarily expensive or elaborate. Those two things, it's comfortable and it makes me feel great. That's all it has to be.
Heather:
So let's talk about comfort a little bit
Adele L:
Mm.
Heather:
because I know there's a lot of people thinking how, you know, how do you look good when you're wearing comfortable clothes? Because the mindset, at least for me, and I know many others would be done, I put on some, yeah, some old leggings or tracky decks or, you know, it's like, you sort of think, especially in the female space, fashion is painful or,
Adele L:
Mmm.
Heather:
you know, you can have these old
Adele L:
Yes.
Heather:
little loops running in your
Adele L:
Yes.
Heather:
brain. So talk to me a little bit about comfort. What do you wear to be comfortable and look good? How do you start with that?
Adele L:
Sure, the number one place would be fabric. So again, there's always two sides to these questions. It's the practical and the mental and psychological. So not long ago I said to a client, we're not buying anything in the shopping experience today that doesn't fit you perfectly and doesn't make you feel great. And she went, is that possible? So
Heather:
Exactly.
Adele L:
firstly,
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
again, that worthiness is connected to I am worthy of wearing clothes that are comfortable, that don't have pressure points, that breathe, that make me feel good and that I don't have any little niggles in my mind about I need to pull this up or I don't feel, those things can really impact the flow of our day. And fabric is a big part of that. So I always educate my clients around natural fibers, so linens, cottons, silks. doesn't have to be expensive, they can be blends. A lot of us are wearing polyester and not realizing that our body isn't able to breathe in a polyester, which is a plastic-based fabric. So, going to a place where you've got fabrics that breathe well. Now, I'm actually not wearing a good example. This is a polyester dress, but I have a lower body temperature than average, so I can wear it and wear it comfortably. And it's a very comfortable piece. It's super fabulous and fun print, but it's one piece and it's super comfortable. But I'm aware of the fact that it's polyester, so I never wear this where I'm going to be warm like in a club or something like that or a mixer where there's, you know, it's a hot room. So fabric is often a place that people have no concept of. So reading the tags on any item that you're purchasing and understanding what the makeup is, how much of it is cotton, how much of it is... polyester that can be super helpful for you knowing that you're going to just feel like it's soft against your skin, that your body temperature will be regulated and it has a nice flow and feel to it. Big overlooked part that can really revolutionize the clothes that you're purchasing and also connecting to how we are actually feeling in our clothes. So a tip that is universal and that I apply every single time I have a client is when you're trying on a new piece you have to let your body and your nervous system get used to it. So often I'll leave them in the wardrobe for five minutes and they can have a strong reaction good or bad to an item of clothing they put on. So I say cool I'm just going to leave you here for five minutes and I'll come back and quite often that's all that it takes excuse me for them to see the item of clothing in a different light to what they did when they originally put it on and to actually give themselves time to connect to how it feels. Often we're so rushed, we, excuse me, put it on, go, yeah, yeah, yeah, it feels good. But if you take a couple of extra minutes, you can go, actually, this jacket is a bit tight across my shoulders, or no, that's digging in, or that's not sitting right, or the pants need to be a little bit longer, whatever it might be, just those couple of extra minutes, because you think about it, when you buy a piece of clothing, you can have it for 10 years. So those few extra minutes in the change room can really help you connect with how you're feeling in it. And then you're much more likely to wear it. So given that most of us have about 10% of our wardrobe that has been purchased and unworn, that's a lot of money sitting there. So a little bit of extra time in the change room can help you make a better choice because you're connected to how you're feeling in that moment and in that garment.
Heather:
really smart point and got me thinking about fast fashion in a whole
Adele L:
Yeah.
Heather:
new way. Um, because it is kind of, I have always thought of fast fashion is just like, you know, burn and churn through clothes and trends, but that actually is quite an, it makes me think of the mindset piece of it. Um, the fact
Heather:
that, yeah, so many of us just go, I'll just grab this art looks okay, whatever, and you don't really get present
Adele L:
Hmm
Heather:
with the moment and think. Is it right for me? I have a friend of mine who is really good at that gift and she always teaches her girlfriend. She always says, look, if you're thinking about buying something, just sit on it for
Adele L:
Mm-mm.
Heather:
five minutes. Give it five minutes. Every single thing you're thinking about buying and you'll know after that amount of time, if it's something that you're meant
Adele L:
Yes.
Heather:
to have. So I like that you say
Adele L:
Yeah.
Heather:
that as well. Um, I do want to talk to you about your market and the different people that you work with because. I know that you work
Adele L:
Mmm. Mmm.
Heather:
with men a lot, don't you, in what you do. So I want to cover that and why you've chosen down that path and specifically how do you help the guys in their fashion
Adele L:
Yeah,
Heather:
journey.
Adele L:
working with men has been an absolute surprise and delight. And I always zoom out when I talk about styling men and reflect on how society, particularly in the Western world, particularly in Australia, how we men and women are socialized differently. And interestingly, although we live in a patriarchy, and that's not a criticism, that's an observation, where men have access to pretty much everywhere and are typically at the top of the food chain. Women often say we're working in male dominated spaces. That's just how it is. Interestingly, men are cut out of the fashion conversation. It's not typically a situation that you find yourself in that men are talking about the clothes that they're wearing, even though they're wearing clothes. It's very common for men to have the significant other. whether it be female or otherwise buying their clothes for them or it can even be their mother that's still purchasing clothes for them, their sister, I've had that before. And it's not that men aren't capable, it's how men are socialized and therefore that is connected to how they're educated around clothes and their personal style. So 50% of the population is men and they're typically not served when it comes to fashion and styling. So it is proving to be very interesting to remove obstacles for men to access a stylist and to learn about their personal style. And in so doing, they're not just learning about their style but they're learning about themselves. And it's an emotional space when we're talking about clothes. This is how this thing makes me feel. When I'm with guys, they, when I open up space for them to be able to talk about clothes and their feelings. They have just as much to say as what any woman does, as they should, because
Heather:
Mm-hmm.
Adele L:
they are wearing clothes. But because we're socialised,
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
that you know, you must be gay if you're taking an interest in talking about clothes, or talking about clothes, or talking about how you feel, makes you weak, and demonstrates vulnerability, and every guy in the Western world will say to you that the worst thing they can ever be called is weak. Because men are socialised to be macho, and big, and strong. So being able to reinterpret that space for men and give them safety to talk about their clothes, it is, I can see the transformation happening before my eyes that they come to a higher place of acceptance, they start to see that how they're wanting to be in their lives is totally okay. And to talk about that in a space where they're not criticized or judged helps build their confidence. And this is any kind of man. This is from someone who is working in a blue collar environment to a white collar environment. They're all still people so it's a real gift for me to be able to work in that space. It's a completely different space to working with women. I love working with women as well, it's still transformation. But especially men. One of my gripes
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
about different relationships that I've had in the past is that men are just so unsafe to talk about how they're feeling and if we're not able to talk about how we're feeling, connect with ourselves, it's very difficult to connect meaningfully with others. So it's wonderful to provide that space for guys and they always end up being so empowered that the ideas that they've had about their own style are usually on track. but they just haven't had that space
Heather:
Oh.
Adele L:
to refine and talk it through
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
and they like to stick to rules like someone said to me that I shouldn't wear blue so I never wear blue and giving them the space to talk that through and understanding why or why not that may not be serving them and they might go actually because I really like wearing blue and it's disappointing that I can't wear blue cool. Let's just talk about that and experiment with that a little bit more. And it gives them agency over an area of their life that they thought they had to externalize. I, mom always helps me, my girlfriend always helps me, sister, friend, whatever. But now that's something that I can do for myself and I can feel great about doing that. And it doesn't make me weak and it doesn't make me, whatever their negative self-perception was, it's actually the opposite. They can, um, be a really much more fully formed version of themselves by knowing that they can go into a shop understand their body shape understand what colors work for them and purchase accordingly it's amazing
Heather:
So good. So I'm gonna change gears a little bit here.
Adele L:
Hmm
Heather:
So guys, I have had Adele, or I invited Adele on our show for a couple of reasons. The first one was that I believe that style is so intricately linked to your success in life, and especially... .. your brand and how you put yourself forward in your business. So I wanted her to come on from that perspective. But also, she's incredibly savvy and one of my better students because we've worked together.
Adele L:
That's all right.
Heather:
So but honestly, it's been very incredible watching Adele with her online presence. So I wanted to talk and change gears a little bit to that because part of growing a business and working smarter is to understand the technology that we have available to us and the platforms and then embrace them and utilize them. So let's talk about, well, specifically, you know, we built Adele's website, but there's so much more you're doing beyond that. So I'd love to hear. some of the things in the online marketing space that whether it's from me or other people that you've heard, what are you doing specifically to grow your business
Adele L:
Hmm,
Heather:
online?
Adele L:
that's a great question and very relevant to me because I've effectively had three weeks out of the space of but unexpectedly unexpectedly ill as illness usually is and I Wasn't quite prepared. I didn't have a lot of content scheduled and instead of looking that I've actually felt really bad about that And I do want to touch on that that often we can feel that we're just never doing enough. We have access to everything in terms of you can create anything that you want at any time and put it across multiple platforms and that availability can often breed a sense of we're just not doing enough and that's something that I still battle with and I will say it does feel like a battle but I've I'm turning that around and going cool this is just a great opportunity for me to reset look at what I've done look at what has worked look at how I can make sure that I'm accessing my ideal client. So to answer your question Heather, there's been a lot of experimenting and a lot of throwing things out there and seeing where they land, seeing how I feel about it.
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
When you invite a personal stylist into your world, there has to be an inherent level of trust and people usually observe me on Instagram for about six months before they reach out. So they're getting a sense of who I am. They're getting a sense that they won't be judged as soon as they invite me into their life. They're getting a sense of where's this person's authenticity at. And a lot of it is subconscious. They're not necessarily coming at me with those questions or coming at their Instagram with those questions consciously. So what's amazing about social media is that people can see you developing as you develop in your confidence. and overcoming the fear of being visible is an ongoing journey and stepping through those curtains of fear what will people say what will I think about myself what happens if I make a mistake if it's not perfect if it doesn't land if it doesn't get any likes it's so strange that with this immediacy that we have of being visible in an online sense, we, as leverageable as that is, we can absolutely sabotage ourselves with feeling that we're not good enough. So that, what's it called? The imposter syndrome can be very pervasive. So I've tackled that very aggressively
Heather:
Well done.
Adele L:
because it's not just so that I'm visible. to my potential clients. It's so that it's another way, again it comes back to that question of worthiness. I'm worthy of being seen, I'm not perfect but I have value to offer and me coming to terms with that through putting out a video or running events, I run workshops as well, all of that is constantly bringing me back to that place of I'm worthy because I'm adding value, not because
Heather:
Yeah.
Adele L:
I'm perfect. And that's an ever evolving space. And some days you feel more confident than others, but I feel like my confidence level maybe 12 months ago was here. And I took a little step up with experimenting and trying new things in an online space and went cool. I did that and I didn't die. So cool.
Heather:
Ha ha ha!
Adele L:
That's my new level of competence. So let's test the waters a little bit more and try something else that's new. And I have coaches and mentors myself, Heather, you're one of them. I've got a business coach from the institute that I studied at and I also have a money mindset coach. They all say the same thing, consistency, showing up, doing something rather than nothing. And I think it all brings you back to that point of. I'm worthy because I'm adding value, not because I'm perfect. So I hope that answers your question. If I've missed something there, just bring me back to that.
Heather:
No,
Heather:
no, that is perfect. I just wanted to see how you would answer that question. And guys, you have got to see Adele's TikTok videos. Some of them are just going off. Like, I love your vulnerability and how you are talking about consistency, because that's a huge theme. Of course, yes, I always talk about, but also just knowing you're worthy to show up and just doing it, just making it happen.
Adele L:
And.
Heather:
And I'm watching your following grow and your engagement grow online. And Because of what you do, you need to be out there and you need to be showing your personality
Adele L:
Mm-hmm.
Heather:
and your style to people because people do business with people they know, like and trust.
Adele L:
Yeah.
Heather:
And we choose our teachers based on the connection we have with them. So I'm thank you for sharing that because there's so many business owners that needed to hear that
Adele L:
Mm. Mm.
Heather:
message right now. Especially in this time of AI
Adele L:
Hmm.
Heather:
and copycats and just gonna get crazier. So we need more people like yourself that are going to step up and just be vulnerable, be real and get out there and share their message with the world. So perfect answer.
Adele L:
Cool, thank you.
Heather:
Um, where do people learn more about you? So if they wanted to work with you, what different tools, um, methods, resources, events, where did they, where did they learn all the things?
Adele L:
Yeah, sure. Excuse me. So my beautiful website, and I'm not just saying that because I'm talking to the person that created it, but I'm so proud of my website. So www.aesthetica.com. And Aesthetica is A-E-S-T-H-E-T-I-C-A. That's really the flagship and the statement that I wanted to make about Aesthetica styling. So that has everything. Excuse me. in it in terms of the detail in the packages that you can purchase, who I am, my values, and I understand that not many people read it, but there are certain money personalities and personalities that will read the detail and so it's there if they need it. But that was my moment where I went, this is showing myself that I mean business. And going back to what we're talking about before, every post that I do, far from perfect, but it's as much as me about me going, I'm doing this because I believe in what I do and others will, the right people will catch that as well. And going back, it also connects to my very first, the very first question I asked you, why did I start Aesthetica? It's so that I can feel fulfilled as a human through adding value. And that happens by every post that I do. You know, it's a risk that you take by putting yourself out there, but it must connect for me. It must connect back to a sense of personal meaning and that can seem like a heavy concept, but it's also light and fun. And so my website demonstrates that there's lots of pictures of me smiling. There's lots of pictures of me working with clients and I wanted that to be the statement piece because even if people are scrolling through they see, they get it, they pick up a vibe, they pick up an energy of what I'm about. So Um, they can learn, people can go to aesthetic, a styling and get a sense of what it is that I do and how they can be served Instagram. Aesthetica under stores, underscore styling. I've got lots of different series of videos running at the moment. And, um, part of my personality is I'm highly creative and I completely overwhelm myself every day and often that overwhelm
Heather:
Hehehe
Adele L:
can end up doing nothing. Um, so my list, uh, and being a project manager. It's different when you have a project that is given to you and you have a deadline that is set for you. But when you're the one setting the deadline, often I oversubscribe myself, overwhelm myself, over schedule myself. So every single day, I've actually got this little technique. I've got a sort of like a monthly and three months schedule that helps keep me focused. But I have to simplify my life because highly creative, I like to put out lots of content, but. I identify one thing that I need to achieve every day that will help me go at the end of the day, I made the most of today and I've always got about 16 things on my to do list, but I go one thing, I have a hero goal that helps me to know that if I've done that, then I've won the day because getting back to where people can find me and what I do, because I'm constantly wanting to run workshops and set up webinars and... do Instagram live.
