It is how you show up to do your work in the world.  1. The business dinner party analogy 2. Why knowing your personal style affects the like, know, and trust factor. 3. How inconsistency erodes like, know, and trust To learn more go to www.judithgaton.com/ep106

Stop waiting for someday when you lose weight, drop a size, or find the so-called perfect outfit. Instead, start cultivating a mindset that allows you to feel stylish and confident regardless of your size weight or shape, that is where the real transformation happens. This will allow you to really explore what your your personal style is, and how to show up more confidently regardless of your size and shape. You get to decide how you feel not a tag size. To learn more about how to create style and confidence at any size take my free style class "Banish BS Fashion Rules."

On this week's episode, I'm going to give you my top three tips for style for curvy women. None of my recommendations have to do with you going on a diet, squeezing yourself into multiple Spanx, or going on some sort of weird fast to cure belly bloat before you get into a dress. In fact, I'm not a believer in modifying your body in any way to fit into clothing. I believe that the clothing must conform to your body 1. My three philosophies on style for curvy women 2. Why you should ditch baggy clothes 3. Why you should ignore tag sizes 4.  A word on Jeans To learn more about style for curvy women take my free course, www.judithgaton.com/stylecourse

This week we're going to talk about banishing BS fashion rules. So many of my curvy style masterclass students come to me with a lot of BS fashion rules. To create a style you love, you will need to banish all of these old rules. I believe every woman should dress and love the body she is in, but when you have a rule book telling you what you can and cannot wear it feels very difficult to break free and create a wardrobe you truly love.  To take the free style class, Banish BS Fashion Rules go to www.judithgaton.com/stylecourse

Plain and simple you all are in need of a confidence boost. So many of us think that confidence is something we are born with or something that we can get. It's as if you believe, confidence is an arrival place and once you have it you always have it. I also think that sometimes we believe that confidence comes from a set of actions that we do. If we just perfect these sets of actions, we will automatically be confident. What ends up happening though is if we don't complete the set of tasks in exactly the right way, it erodes confidence. We are placing our ability to feel confident in our ability to complete a set of actions. Actions are not what creates confidence. We create confidence with our thoughts. I know this may seem counter-intuitive. So I'm going to give you a little confidence boost, by debunking some common confidence myths.  INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/judithgaton SHOWNOTES: https://www.judithgaton.com/Ep100/

A go to outfit is an outfit that you can rely on in a pinch. It is the outfit you can throw on before you head out the door and know you're going to look stylish and feel confident when wearing it. A go-to outfit is different than the regular schleppy clothes you have draped across a chair. A go to outfit must leave you looking stylish and feeling confident. Those are the two first criteria of a go to outfit. The other criteria is that it must be something comfortable. It must be something you actually want to wear. Here's how you create a go to outfit in three easy steps.   INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/judithgaton SHOWNOTES: https://www.judithgaton.com/Ep99/

On this week's episode of the New Glam Gal Podcast, we are talking about layering spanx and I share the top five things I learned when trying on over 10 different types of shapewear in different combinations. I learned the following: 1. Choose the correct type of shapewear for the dress and the other undergarments you will be wearing. 2. Choose the right size 3. The smaller sized shapewear goes on first, then the other layers for smoothing 4. Keeping your skin dry helps you to roll everything off and on. 5. Wiggle around to make sure the shapewear settles into all of your creases so you aren't pinching your fat. OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS DECIDE TO WEAR ONE OR NONE.

Hey Glam Gals! I am so excited to bring to you a new way of approaching this whole self love thing. In my free body image makeover course, I teach women how to start loving their body by choosing one believable thought at a time. That is definitely not going away. But what I have noticed in working with you all of you lovely gals is that convincing you that you can love your WHOLE body may be a bit of a tough sell. This is especially true for my gals who struggle with BDD. So here is what I am proposing. Let's not even start trying to worry about your whole body. You eat a whole pie, one bite at a time. That's how we are going to approach this whole self love thing. Let's not worry about the whole damn pie. First let's taste it, smell it, hold it in our hands. Teeny tiny bits at a time. Same is true of your body. Let's not worry about loving your WHOLE body right this minute. Let's start one eyelash at a time. Stay tuned for this week's podcast episode. Music by www.bensound.com

This week's podcast episode is all about why it's ok to suck at style. A bad outfit isn't a sure sign that something is wrong with you or your body. What I'm learning from my Style School students is that we sometimes forget what its like to be a beginner and that is totally okay to suck at something. You won't nail every outfit on the first try. You didn't learn to walk that way either. There was a ton of trial and error. Same is true for learning your sense of style and becoming more confident. The road to style is paved with a lot of ugly outfits. So what? It doesn't mean anything about you unless you think it does. So give yourself some grace this week as you use trial and error to guide you on your way to style & confidence. Music by www.bensound.com

This week's podcast episode is all about the upside of a bad outfit. This is for my gals who have an outfit fail and decide to give up on this whole looking stylish thing.  The secret sauce...use the bad outfit days to assess your progress. A bad outfit is one of the best ways to know where you have further work to do, whether that work is on your actual wardrobe or your thoughts about yourself.  So assuming you believe that there could be an upside to a bad outfit, how do you asses the bad outfit in order to up level your style game. Three simple questions to ask yourself? 1. What will I continue doing? 2. What can I just stop? 3. What can I start doing? Music by www.bensound.com

On this week's episode of the New Glam Gal Podcast, we discuss: How having the gift of gab isn't something you are born with.

Be truly interested.   Music by www.bensound.com

This week's podcast episode is all about one of my favorite coaching tools. I teach you all about asking yourself better questions. I talk about my top five favorite fabulous questions. So many of my glam gals ask themselves shitty questions so they get shitty answers. They ask why am I so fat? why am I so ugly? why can't I ever seem to leave the house on time? Their brain will give them shitty answers. That is what brains are wired to do. Our brains are wired to answer the shitty questions we ask it and not in a kind way either. Our brains will tell us all the reasons we are fat, unworthy, and unstylish. We do this long enough and we start to believe all of the crappy things our brains tell us. We get stuck in a negative thought loop and it becomes our everyday. We can get unstuck. We can get out of that negative thought loop. We can turn this whole negative thought train around. How? By asking our brains better questions. Ask a better question and you'll get a better answer.  Music by www.bensound.com

On this week's episode of The New Glam Gal Podcast, we are talking about a common quoted fashion rule "No White After Labor Day." I love fashion history and arbitrary fashion rules. You always get to decide whether or not to follow a fashion rule. But you must always remember, they are made up. A human or group of humans got together to make a rule about piles of fabric that are attached to other piles of fabric. You always get to decide whether you want to follow that rule, trend, and/or style. You get to decide whether you want to "break the rules." You always have a choice. If you decide to play along, check your reasons. Are you trying to keep up with the insta-Joneses? Or do you simply wish to keep your white shoes clean? (Tee-hee) Stay tuned as we discuss: 1. The history of the No White After Labor Day Rule 2. The mythos surrounding the history of the rule 3. You always get to choose whether to follow or break style rules.   Music by www.bensound.com
