The Style Project: a podcast about body love, self esteem and personal style

The queen of footwear, Cushla Reed, is NZ fashion royalty. She’s been in the industry for over 20 years, and has seen it all, but is one of THE most down to earth people you will ever meet.

She is the heart and sole (see what I did there?) oh her business, she still fronts her retail space and is in constant contact with her customers and retailers, often listening to women complain about and put down their bodies when trying on clothes.

She uses the valuable information sh gains from chatting with customers about their insecurities to thoughtfully design both her shoes and her more recent clothing line (C.Reed clothing).

I always love a chat with Cushla, and I”m so excited to have her join me on this episode - happy listening.

Amber Peebles is a former Miss New Zealand, TV and radio host, New Zealand style icon (well in my humble opinion anyway) and an all-round lovely lady!
I'm so excited to have her as a guest on The Style Project, have a listen as we chat about being kind to yourself, changing your mindset for the better, and why jeans are the best thing ever!

Brooke Falvey is Brisbane's very own Carrie Bradshaw. She's a journalist, turned fashion blogger / instagram star, turned stylist and model.
This blond bombshell is the OG dopamine dresser, and she makes me miss my home state of Queensland with all the amazing colour and print she wears on her Instagram page, but you'll also be surprised at the clothing item she feels the MOST herself in.
Learn how a conversation as a teenager with her mum in a mall about all of the 'normal women' set her on a path to accepting her (gorgeous) body how it is, and gave her the confidence to step into a modelling career even though she doesn't have the 'traditional model frame" that we were programmed to be the "only model body" growing up in the 90's.
We talk about how wearing your togs in public might be bold, but please don't call it brave, and I learn about how protective Brooke is over her own sense of style (don't mess with her gold boots please!)

Cassie Roma has that enviable ability to make you feel like you are the only person in the room every time she talks to you.
Cassie's trademark look, with her amazing mane of curls, hats and double denim is one of her most distinct calling cards, but she didn't always have the confidence to be her true self...
Self-described storytelling, public-speaking, social media + digital marketing OG with a penchant for data, creativity, strategy, & community advocacy, her kindness and joy are infectious, but life hasn't always been smooth sailing for this California girl living in NZ.
In this episode, Cassie and I chat about everything from why she loves her grandfathers style, how growing up in the 90's in California wasn't amazing for her self esteem, and why we just all need to be a little bit kinder to ourselves, and each other.
You can find Cassie Roma on Instagram, LinkedIn and on her website.

Content creator and body diversity advocate Jess Quinn is one of the most positive, inspiring people I know. And she's just a joy to be around.
Her outlook on life is inspiring, considering she lost her right leg to cancer aged 9.
Jess is showing others how to overcome adversity and insecurity using her own incredible experiences, including a TED talk in Auckland in 2018
Last year, she took a petition to the NZ government, asking that all photoshopping on magazine images be disclosed, after a personal experience with her body being manipulated for a magazine.
