  • In this lively and insightful episode of The Make Room Show, Jennifer Ford Berry is joined by fashion expert Shari Braendel, author of "Help Me Jesus, I Have Nothing to Wear" and founder of the "27 Hanger Closet" system.

    Together, they share expert tips on simplifying your wardrobe, finding clothes that make you feel confident, and why it’s essential to let go of clothing items that no longer serve you. Shari’s unique approach of limiting your wardrobe to 27 pieces offers a fresh take on capsule wardrobes, making room for the items you truly love while decluttering the rest. They also dive into color analysis, how to pick the best handbag, and Shari’s "game-changing" tip for jeans shopping.

    Key Learning Points:

    27 Hanger Closet: Simplify your wardrobe by curating 27 key pieces—6 bottoms, 12 tops, 4 layering pieces, and 3 special items—allowing easier outfit planning and less clutter.

    • Color Analysis: Wearing the right colors makes a significant impact on how you look and feel. Avoid black as it can make you look tired and older. Instead, pick 1-2 neutrals and a pop color that suits you.

    • Handbag Hack: Match your handbag color to your hair color for a versatile, go-to bag that coordinates with everything.

    • Seasonal Closet Swaps: Even in warmer climates like Florida, it’s beneficial to rotate your wardrobe seasonally to refresh your look and keep things current.

    • Cost Per Wear: Invest in high-quality pieces you’ll wear frequently rather than splurging on items for special occasions.

    • Jeans Shopping Hack: Measure the rise of your favorite jeans to find the perfect fit every time you shop.

    • Letting Go of Guilt: Release clothing that doesn’t fit, feel good, or serve your current style, even if it cost you a lot. Donate to shelters where your items can benefit others.

    • Trend Awareness: Staying in style doesn’t mean constantly buying new clothes; it’s about curating what works best for your body and lifestyle.

    • Seasonal Planning: Be strategic about shopping; know what you need and build your wardrobe intentionally.

    • The Emotional Closet: Clothes hold memories, but learning to detach and move on can bring freedom and space for new possibilities.

  • In this raw and vulnerable episode of "The Make Room Show," I'm opening up about the reasons behind an unexpected six-week hiatus. I'm giving you insights on some personal struggles with burnout professionally, and a harrowing near-death experience that forced me to confront the unsustainable pace of my life and reevaluate my priorities. Instead of allowing myself to feel guilty for stepping back to care for myself, I gave myself a PERMISSION SLIP - to slow down, take necessary breaks, and focus on self-care. Real strength lies in recognizing one’s limits and taking steps to address them before reaching a crisis point - which I had to learn the hard way. My hope is that through being vulnerable and sharing this with you, I can inspire you to make similar choices towards a healthier, more balanced life.

    I'm taking the next couple of weeks to really dive deep into what all these recent events mean for me and my life. I'll be keeping you updated on this journey as things unfold because you, my dear listeners, truly deserve to hear this insight. I'm not entirely sure what's going to emerge from this period of reflection, but I feel it's going to be significant, different, and hopefully, a lot easier.

    During this time, you might notice that I'm not as active on social media, and the posts that do appear might be just simple snapshots of life with my family and friends. I'm stepping back from the constant hustle, the endless to-dos we all think we need to accomplish daily. It's become clear that this rat race isn't making us happier, and that needs to change. So, let's focus on what really matters—our happiness and well-being. Thank you for your understanding and support. I love you all so much.

  • In today's episode of the Make Room Show, we had the pleasure of speaking with Rachel Miller, the author of the inspiring book "When It Hurts to Hope." Rachel shared her journey of writing the book during the challenging COVID summer of 2020, a period that marked her 30th birthday and a time of introspection about her single status and unmet desires. Through her story, Rachel opened up about the universal struggle with unmet longings, whether it's seeking a life partner, dealing with health issues, or facing career frustrations. Her book intertwines personal anecdotes with a faith-based perspective on enduring seasons of waiting and emotional wellness. Rachel emphasized the importance of community, authentic connection, and maintaining hope in the face of despair. She encouraged listeners to acknowledge their desires without letting them consume their lives, suggesting practical tips for fostering contentment and purpose during periods of waiting.
