Make It You
Make It You is the podcast for ambitious professionals and entrepreneurs 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 — this show sits at the intersection of personal style, career transitions, and confidence. Each week, Tannya talks with clients navigating major career pivots and life transitions, unpacking how their image strategy evolved alongside their inner reinvention. Solo episodes dive into style principles, personal branding, and lessons from the front lines of personal styling.
Because intelligence and beauty aren't opposites — and women don't have to choose between being taken seriously and being fully expressed. This show helps you simplify decision fatigue, elevate your presence, and lead with clarity.
Because how you show up matters.
