Ep. 105 - Comfortable in Your Own Skin: Body Image, Style & Self-Confidence with Crystal Napier

<p class="isSelectedEnd">Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like you've lost yourself?</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Maybe your body has changed. Maybe your life has changed. Maybe you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've stopped paying attention to what makes you feel confident, comfortable, and like you.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">In this episode, I sit down with Crystal Napier, image consultant, stylist, professional bra fitter, and founder of Renee's Boutique, for a conversation about confidence, body image, authenticity, and why style is about so much more than clothes.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Crystal shares her personal journey of navigating body image struggles, growing up feeling like she needed to hide parts of herself, finding confidence as a young leader, and learning how to embrace who she is through every season of life.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">We also talk about:<br /> • The connection between style and self-confidence<br /> • Why so many women struggle to feel comfortable in their bodies<br /> • Balancing authenticity and professionalism<br /> • Learning to appreciate your body exactly as it is today</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is that confidence isn't something we magically wake up with one day. It's something we cultivate through the way we speak to ourselves, care for ourselves, and show up for ourselves.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself, hiding behind clothes that don't feel like you anymore, or simply ready to show up with more confidence, this episode is for you.</p> <h3>Connect with Crystal Napier</h3> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Website: <a href= "https://reneesboutiquellc.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">ReneesBoutiqueLLC.com</a></p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/reneesboutiquellc/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@ReneesBoutiqueLLC</a></p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/reneesboutiquellc" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Renees Boutique LLC</a></p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/crystal-napier-a0471114/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Crystal Napier</a></p> <h3>Ready for more clarity and confidence?</h3> <p>Connect with me, Ariel Vaughan:</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beyoutifulchick" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@beyoutifulchick</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/itstimetobeyoupodcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@itstimetobeyoupodcast</a></p> <p>For more, visit: <a href="https://www.itstimetobeyou.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">itstimetobeyou.com</a></p> <p>Schedule your complimentary clarity session here: <a href= "https://calendly.com/arielbv/be-you-breakthrough-session" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://calendly.com/arielbv/be-you-breakthrough-session</a></p>

Ep. 104 What Do YOU Stand For with Amy Hager

<p class="isSelectedEnd">What if your life changed the moment you stopped trying to make everyone else happy?</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">In today's episode, I sit down with Amy Hager — messaging and marketing mentor, speaker, and overall incredible human — for a conversation that goes far beyond business.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Amy shares how racing go-karts at nine years old taught her about visibility, resilience, relationship building, and showing up even when you don't win. From there, we dive into people pleasing, perfectionism, authenticity, boundaries, vulnerability, and learning how to stop carrying responsibility for everyone else's emotions.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">This episode is full of honest reflections, mindset shifts, and reminders that you do not have to be perfect to be impactful.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">We also talk about:</p> <ul data-spread="false"> <li>Why no one "bats 1,000" and why that's okay</li> <li>Learning to focus on what you can control</li> <li>The emotional and physical cost of living out of alignment</li> <li>How to know what's yours to carry — and what isn't</li> <li>Setting boundaries with family and difficult relationships</li> <li>Why your message should attract and repel</li> <li>The power of "I am" statements and asking yourself: "What do I stand for?"</li> <li>Showing up authentically in business and life</li> <li>Why vulnerability doesn't mean being an open book</li> <li>The importance of reflection, self-awareness, and self-trust</li> </ul> <p class="isSelectedEnd">One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is the reminder that authenticity is not about being perfect — it's about being honest with yourself and allowing yourself to evolve.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Amy brings such a grounded, refreshing perspective to this conversation, and I know so many of you are going to feel seen by what she shares.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Connect with Amy:<br /> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/amy.hager.58" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Amy Hager</a><br /> LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-hager-cae-iom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amy Hager, CAE-IOM</a></p> <p>Connect with me, Ariel Vaughan:</p> <p>Instagram: @beyoutifulchick</p> <p>Instagram: @itstimetobeyoupodcast</p> <p>For more, visit: itstimetobeyou.com</p>
