Make It You
Make It You is the podcast for ambitious professionals and entrepreneurs who are ready to align who they are with who they’re becoming.
Hosted by Tannya Bernadette — Founder & CEO of The Closet Edit, a Seattle-based luxury personal styling agency serving clients nationwide — this show explores the intersection of personal style, leadership, identity, and visibility.
With over 17 years in business and features in Real Simple, KOMO 4, Seattle Magazine, Bustle, and Buy Side WSJ, Tannya brings real-world experience to conversations about confidence, reinvention, and building a life that feels as powerful as it looks.
Through Make It You, she champions a new narrative: that intelligence and beauty are not opposites, that clarity and femininity coexist, and that personal presence is a strategic advantage. Because women don’t have to choose between being taken seriously and being fully expressed.
From image strategy and decision fatigue to networking, money mindset, and stepping into bigger rooms — this podcast helps you simplify, elevate, and lead with clarity.
Because how you show up matters.

Have you felt self-conscious about your body? Like everyone can see all your insecurities? It's totally common and as a stylist, I work with clients daily on dressing for their body. Yesterday, I worked with a couple that realized they needed new clothes. They were getting ready to pack for their 10 year anniversary trip and found that their closet didn’t have anything new or exciting that really fit them anymore. In the process of shopping for each of them, they opened up about what they felt uncomfortable with. There is nothing more
In this episode I unpack the big topics we talked about in our styling session yesterday including:
- Men’s body and insecurities - I mean, this is a very important topic. It’s never really talked about, a lot of the focus is on women but men have insecurities too. They are less vocal about it but working with men, I get to hear all the things and also have to work through finding pieces that fit their body well.
- What we might find uncomfortable, might actually be an asset - In this case it’s not about clothing that is uncomfortable, but parts of ourselves we are uncomfortable with. Changing your story about your body and identifying new ways to see yourself are helpful.
- No ones looking - This isn’t to say that the way we feel in something doesn’t count because it definitely does! If a piece of clothing feels too tight, or doesn’t lay right on your body, you will be fidgeting and thinking about it the whole time you have it on. But there is something to keep in mind when shopping or trying on clothes. It’s not for other people, it’s for you.
I want you to walk into a room and feel lit up, to share your gifts with the world.
