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.
