Listen "009: Why Personal Style is Deeper than the Clothing You Wear with Alayne Lebsack"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode with Alayne Lebsack, we’re talking about why personal style is important, and why it’s so much more than simply the clothing you wear.
Can our style impact our self-expression? Our confidence? Our desire to show up more authentically in our lives, businesses, work, and relationships?
How does knowing our personal style affect our overall joy and fulfillment?
While her work can be categorized within fashion and lifestyle, the core of what Alayne Joy does is about cultivating authentic relationships, based on integrity, respect and openness.
A born and raised Calgarian, Alayne has always had an interest and love for style and fashion - often disregarding trends and rules, but rather focusing on what she loves and loves to wear. With two boys and a hilarious husband of almost 12 years, Alayne believes in living a joy-filled life of intention and following your heart.
Being a Personal Stylist and Personal Shopper was always in the back of her mind, but it took many different career paths until she felt like it was time. Her "just do it - what's the worst that can happen?!" mindset propelled her to start her first style-focused business, Apostle Boutique which she has recently sold. Four years later, Alayne launched her Styling business, and the success was immediate.
Being featured in over six magazines, working on dozens of photoshoots, and styling over 100 clients, Alayne feels so fortunate that she's been able to combine her values & passions into a career that helps men and women see themselves in a new confident & powerful way.
When Alayne works with her clients she wants them to feel comfortable like they are spending time with a friend, and that is exactly how I felt in my conversation with her.
We talk about what is really meant by the term ‘personal style’, finding your personal style, styling tips and tricks, and how relationships are at the core of the work that Alayne does with her clients.
