Cleaning Out The Closet: The Power of Letting Go
What if that overflowing closet wasn’t just full of stuff—but full of stories, attachments, and outdated versions of yourself you’re finally ready to release?
Sometimes, we don’t even realize the weight we’ve been carrying—until we finally set it down.
This solo episode of Unapologetically Yours is a little different. It’s a story about a closet, a photo shoot, a queen-worthy stylist–Tali Kogan–and a moment in my life when everything was shifting: Divorce. Motherhood. Business. Healing.
When Tali asked me to do a closet clean-out before our styling session, I knew it would be so much more than just a wardrobe cleanse. Because Tali’s approach isn’t just about clothes—it’s about energy, intention, and aligning who you are on the inside with how you show up on the outside.
Her methodology of taking everything out, holding each piece up to the light, and deciding what to let go of became a mirror for my life. And what started as a physical clean out turned into a powerful energetic practice where I was faced with identity, grief, and the stories I was finally ready to shed.
This episode isn’t just about cleaning out your closet–it’s about choosing yourself again. And again. And again.
What you’ll hear:
✨ A behind-the-scenes story from one of the hardest, most powerful weeks of my life
✨ How a closet clean-out helped me heal and release old versions of myself
✨ What it means to take inventory—physically, emotionally, spiritually—and choose what gets to stay
✨ How I paired intention, ritual, and style to ground myself in the midst of change
✨ Why the way you dress can shift the way you show up in your life
✨ My 40-day embodiment practice that got me through one of my toughest seasons
Whether you’re in a season of transition or just feeling the pull to reclaim yourself, this episode is your permission slip to take it all out, hold each piece up to the light, and decide what still fits—on every level.
“I started going through all the things that had been—and intentionally choosing what was going to remain.”
Some Key Takeaways From The Episode:
Clean Out More Than Clothes. The act of removing everything from my closet became a metaphor for everything else I was letting go of—old beliefs, outdated roles, and the weight of what I thought I should be. Healing sometimes starts in the most unexpected places.
Your Style Is an Energetic Anchor. One of the most powerful lessons I learned from working with Tali Kogan was that the way we dress isn’t just about how we look. It’s how we feel. Each morning, I began setting an intention—power, softness, clarity—and then dressed in a way that reflected that energy. It became a daily ritual that grounded me in how I wanted to feel before I stepped into the day. Your closet can be more than clothes—it can be a sacred space to choose how you show up.
Take Inventory Often. We all collect things—habits, stories, clothes, relationships—that no longer fit. Taking inventory gives us the chance to choose again. Not from survival, but from sovereignty.
Daily Rituals Can Change Everything. During one of the most uncertain periods of my life, I committed to 40 days of journaling and gratitude. It anchored me, reminded me who I was, and gave me the strength to keep going.
“Take inventory of what’s going on in your life and know that you’ve got the power to choose.”
