Style Lessons I Learned From Baking Sourdough Bread

In this episode, I take you along on my sourdough bread baking journey and reveal the surprising style lessons I discovered along the way. 

What began as a TikTok-influenced adventure quickly turned into a personal exploration of perfectionism, fear of failure, and finding my own path. I walk you through my complete bread-making journey, from the overwhelm of too much information to the joy of finding my own approach.

Through my story of exploding dough and burnt bottoms, I extract five powerful lessons that can apply perfectly to your style journey.

Here's some of what you'll learn from this episode:

• Why fear of failure keeps us stuck in our comfort zones - with both bread and fashion - and how to recognize when your inner critic is holding you back
• The crucial difference between collecting knowledge and actually practicing - and why watching all the YouTube videos in the world can't replace hands-on experience
• The turning point that came when I invested in proper education instead of drowning in conflicting internet advice
• Why finding a style approach that matches your personality matters more than trying to follow everyone else's rigid rules
• My expensive mistake in thinking success starts with shopping - and why using what you have first always leads to better results

I hope this episode helps you recognize that mastering your personal style, like baking good bread, isn't about perfection or following every rule to the letter. It's about having the courage to start somewhere, learning the basics, and then experimenting to find what works for you. Remember that confidence comes from mastery, mastery comes from practice, and practice starts with courage. 

Some people think what you wear doesn't matter, and that it's frivolous to care about style. And for them, that's fine. But if it matters to you, it matters. Your everyday deserves to be dressed for, no matter what anyone else thinks.
