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.

Throwback: How To Grow Your Business with Focus and Faith with Desiree Hartsock
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today's throwback episode was such an exciting one for me! Desiree Hartsock's whole career has revolved around the industry of love beginning with helping brides find their perfect dress as a bridal stylist. You might also know her as the girl next door Bachelorette from season 9 but she's also an author of wedding planning book ‘My fairytale wedding’. Her business - Desiree Hartsock Bridal - was a huge success but she eventually closed it's doors in 2023 to focus on home educating her children and focus more on her calling to Ministry and speaking.
What really made this interview special is the fact that Desiree had her little one with her. Zander was only a few months old at the time and he was ready to get in on our conversation too! Having him present really tied into our conversation about growing your business in the midst of change. I was also pregnant with my first baby so it was super motivating being around moms that continue moving towards their vision. It becomes more of accomplishing more in little spurts of time and using any free time wisely. You can't see but during the interview she had to breastfeed the baby and take care of her dog. It's reassuring to see that moms have super powers to run businesses and take care of life at home.
Let me know if you enjoyed this episode, it was super fun for me!
