E15: Fashion and Confidence: How a Closet Clean-Out Can Change Your Life

Look, we LOVE a good Target run and a spicy Amazon two-piece set as much as the next gal. But if you’re waking up, reaching for the same leggings-and-tee combo, and feeling meh before you’ve even had coffee—girl, it might be time for a closet intervention.

Enter: Betsy Beaman, personal stylist, fashion therapist, and your new hype girl. In this RAW Edit Podcast episode, Betsy dishes the real tea on how fashion and confidence are totally intertwined. Spoiler: it’s not about trends or wearing what influencers push. It’s about showing up as YOU—bold, beautiful, and dressed for joy.


Why your clothes aren’t the problem (your habits might be)

You’ve built a habit around how you get dressed—yep, it’s not just a routine, it’s a habit. And like any habit, you can shift it. Betsy doesn’t just hand you a Pinterest board and send you shopping. She walks through what’s in your closet (yes, you will try stuff on), helps you figure out why you bought that weird tunic, and guides you to build a wardrobe that reflects who you are NOW.Fashion and confidence starts with understanding your proportions, body shape, and what actually makes you feel good—not what should make you feel good. Like she says, she’s not here to change your style, she’s here to help you turn it up to 11.


Let’s talk about body types (without the shame spiral)

Betsy’s approach to body types is pure gold. It’s not about labels or sticking you in a “pear-shaped box.” She’s about full-body understanding, proportion over perfection, and giving you the tools to dress with purpose.

And she’s not afraid to get real: your body changes (hellooo, hormones, kids, aging, and gluten-induced bloat). So give yourself grace and start where you are. The goal isn’t to fit into a trend—it’s to feel strong and hot in what you wear TODAY.


From overstuffed chaos to curated confidence

Betsy’s biggest style tip? Know what’s in your dang closet. Most of us are impulse-shopping cute stuff we’ll never wear again. (She calls this the “cute trap,” and wow, it’s real.) Before you buy one more “$10 steal,” ask: Do I love it? Can I wear it 3 ways? Will it last?Closet clean-outs aren’t just about space. They’re about clarity. Betsy helps you take out the noise (looking at you, 20 graphic tees) and make room for the pieces that light you up and actually fit. It’s like therapy, but with better jeans.
