Stasia Savasuk on Dressing for Confidence and Joy
2 RecommendationsStasia Savasuk is an amazing style coach, has an outstanding Tedx Talk, and is the founder of Stasia’s Style School. She’s joining me on the show, and I’m delighted to share this interview. We giggled our way through our discussion, and had a hilarious time talking about style, what lights us up, how to find what kinds of styles fit YOU, and, all about Stasia’s inspiring story of becoming an entrepreneur.
In this episode, Stasia and I talk about:
- Her early entrepreneurial work as a child, collecting and selling worms
- How she broke up with style, and wore very bland clothing for many years
- That one size fits all is bullshit
- How to discover style that works for you and reflects who you really are
- How to get in touch with who you really are
- What it looks like to belong to yourself
- How her differently abled child has taught her so much about inside out congruency
- Her thoughts on how to jumpstart your joy: asking yourself how you want to show up, don’t participate in body shaming, and getting outside

Intentional Comfort and Joy (Jump Start Your Joy Season 7 Kick Off)
Comfort and Joy is the new theme for Season 7 and I'm thrilled to sharing all about "intentional comfort." After spending time in the messy middle, over the last 18 months our nervous system needs a pause and a reset and some intentional comfort. So that's what we're looking at in this episode.
Here's what you'll find:
1. Intentional Comfort: It's the mindful activity of embracing comfort, and finding down time for yourself. It's important because we're all been in a "trauma vortex" since early 2020. (hat tip Ilene Smith)
2. What's the messy middle? (it's this weird undefined time we've been in, where we don't fully know when this pandemic will end, and know that we can't get back to where we were.)
3. It's time drop the idea that we should embrace "courage over comfort" or "living your big bold life" without balance of intentional comfort.
4. Introverts and highly sensitive people need to slow down and embrace comfort to be in a good place in their lives.
5. That we need comfort for comfort's sake. We need to rest for the sake of resting and wellness. (And not so that we can go do anything else. Just because.)
6. Finding intentional comforts, and the difference between comfort and numbing out. Comfort is affirming, nurturing and is taking care of oneself. Numbing out is doing something to an extreme, and losing oneself in the activity. Comfort is making space for life. Numbing out is usually an activity that takes over one's life.
7. Inspiration for the idea of Intentional Comfort:
