In life, we are often called to wear many hats. Over the years, I’ve worn my fair share—entrepreneur, businesswoman, club founder, and more. Each role came with its own set of challenges and triumphs, but a pivotal moment in my journey shifted my perspective forever. In 2021, I faced a health scare that forced me to take a step back and reevaluate what truly mattered. It was a wake-up call, and it taught me a valuable lesson: the importance of eliminating unnecessary stress and focusing on the things that bring genuine joy and fulfillment.
This realisation is what led me to my current weekend role as a personal stylist for a brand I adore. On the surface, it might seem like a surprising choice—after all, I’ve been deeply immersed in the world of business, from launching ventures to running an inspiring women’s club. But this role is about much more than just selling clothes or accessorising outfits. It’s about indulging in a passion that has always been close to my heart: fashion.
Fashion as a Lifelong Love
Fashion has always been more than just clothes for me. It’s a form of self-expression, an art that allows us to tell our story without saying a word. From styling my own outfits to curating looks for friends and family, I’ve always found joy in the creative process. So, when the opportunity arose to work as a stylist for a brand I deeply admire, I saw it as a chance to merge my passion with purpose.
I could have chosen any avenue in fashion, but I chose to work with a fast fashion brand that felt like home. Its values resonate with me, its designs inspire me, and its commitment to empowering individuals aligns with my own principles. Helping clients discover pieces that make them feel confident and radiant is incredibly rewarding. It’s not just about selling clothes; it’s about creating moments of transformation and connection.
A Lifestyle Choice, Not Just a Job
Choosing this role was also about balance. After my health scare, I promised myself to prioritise joy and avoid the high-pressure demands that once consumed my life. Working weekends as a stylist gives me a creative outlet without overwhelming my schedule. It’s a space where I can share my expertise, meet amazing people, and immerse myself in something I love, all while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
Lessons from My Journey
This role has reinforced an important lesson: it’s never too late to pivot, to embrace what you love, and to align your work with your values. For anyone considering a shift in their career or lifestyle, I encourage you to listen to your heart. Ask yourself, “What truly makes me happy?” and let that answer guide you.
Working as a personal stylist on weekends might seem like a small part of my week, but it has had a profound impact on my life. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful paths are the ones that bring us back to our passions. For me, this role isn’t just about fashion—it’s about fulfillment, joy, and living a life that aligns with what matters most.
