  • "Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live." —Gianni Versace
     
    Fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a reflection of who we are and how we want to express ourselves to the world. But for many women, shopping and getting dressed can feel overwhelming or tied to outdated trends.
     
    What if fashion could be a source of joy, confidence, and self-expression rather than stress? By changing our mindset and rethinking our relationship with our wardrobe, we can reconnect with our personal style in meaningful ways that feel authentic to us.
     
    Today, I’m joined by fashion stylist and creator of the Wear Joy Project, Casey Lum. Together, we look into Casey’s philosophy of finding joy in fashion and how women can reframe their mindset to feel more empowered by their clothes.
     
    Listen in on this eye-opening conversation as Casey and I talk about:
     


    Fashion is storytelling: Your wardrobe is an extension of who you are and tells a story to the world


    Casey’s TGIF Framework: Casey’s approach to fashion includes Thankfulness, Girl Gang (I love this concept!!), Inspiration, and Feeling Words


    Shop your closet: The concept of having a "no-buy" year, and letting women rediscover and style what they already own


    Changing our perspective from seeing fashion as something that makes us feel diminished to being a tool that makes us empowered


    Practice makes progress: Building a wardrobe that works for you takes practice, but it can be fun!!


    Sustainability and joy can coexist: You can still be fashionable and stylish while embracing sustainable shopping habits

    Confidence is what matters most

     
     
    This episode will inspire you to rethink your relationship with fashion and view your wardrobe through a new lens of joy, creativity, and self-expression. Start your own journey of wearing joy today!

  • Trauma and healing are powerful forces that shape our lives in ways we may not fully realize. While trauma can leave deep scars, it also offers an opportunity for growth and transformation. And then healing is the journey through which we reclaim our stories and use them as tools for empowerment. This journey not only impacts personal well-being but also has the potential to create positive change in relationships and professional environments.
     
    In this episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I sit down with Beth Jones, a long-time friend, Lightbeamers client, and author of the upcoming book Becoming an Empowered Survivor. Beth shares her powerful journey of healing from trauma and abuse, offering insights into how storytelling has been a transformative tool in her life.
     
    Beth is such an inspiration, and I invite you to listen in as we talk about:
     

    Turning trauma into a source of strength and empowerment after going through healing

    How storytelling played a vital role in Beth’s healing, and how she’s now helping others do the same

    Writing about trauma from a place of healing and focusing on empowerment, not blame

    Understanding that everyone’s story and experience of trauma is unique, and it’s important to focus on your own story

    The meaning of Beth's book cover that features a bright yellow design and dragonfly imagery and what they symbolize

    Confronting and processing trauma and breaking free from old patterns and masks

    How the end of the healing journey is freedom, joy, and love—a happier story ending for those willing to step into their brave

     
     
    Beth’s story is an inspiring reminder that no matter how deep the wounds of trauma, healing and empowerment are possible. Grab a copy of her book Becoming an Empowered Survivor and explore the transformative power of storytelling in your own life. Share your story—not only to heal yourself but also to shine a light for others on their path to healing.
