Why putting off personal style could be keeping you stuck—and how to move forward now.

The One Thing You’re Avoiding Might Be the Thing That Changes Everything

Why putting off personal style could be keeping you stuck—and how to move forward now.


We all have that one task on our to-do list—the one we keep avoiding because it feels uncomfortable, time-consuming, or just outside our comfort zone. But what if that very thing is the key to unlocking clarity, confidence, and momentum in your life?

In the latest episode of The Closet Edit Podcast, founder Tannya Bernadette shares how avoiding a simple SEO task and skipping out on much-needed alone time were signs of a deeper pattern—delaying the things that create the biggest shifts. And yes, this shows up in how we approach style too.

Whether you're waiting to lose weight, dreading the thought of shopping, or just “too busy” right now, this episode is your permission slip to stop putting it off.


Key Takeaways – Read This if You’re Short on Time

1. The Things We Avoid Are Often What We Need Most

That 30-minute task you’re avoiding? It could be the very thing that moves the needle. Same goes for your wardrobe—sometimes, saying yes to support is what unlocks ease and confidence.

2. Personal Style Gets Delayed for All the Wrong Reasons

Here are the top excuses—and why they don’t hold up:

  • “I don’t like shopping.” → Great! You don’t have to. We do it for you.

  • “I’m waiting to lose weight.” → Unless you’re dropping 50 lbs, a wardrobe update now will still make a difference.

  • “I had a bad experience with Stitch Fix/Nordstrom.” → This is completely different. Working with a real stylist means the experience is 100% tailored to YOU.

  • “I’m too busy.” → That’s exactly why you need help. Our packages are built around your schedule.

3. Life Won’t Magically Slow Down

Waiting for “the right time” is just a way to stay stuck. The truth? There’s never a perfect season—but there is a smarter way to show up for yourself now.
