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.

The Cost of Playing Small: Money, Confidence, and Building a Powerful Brand
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Money changes things. And when women start making more of it, everything shifts — how we lead, how we show up, and the power we hold in business.
In this episode, Tannya sits down with Ashli Pollard, founder of The Do-ers, who previously worked with some of the biggest names in fashion, including Gucci, Prada, and Oscar de la Renta.
After seeing firsthand what makes brands scale (and what makes them fail), Ashli now helps women build profitable, sustainable businesses without burning themselves out.
This conversation goes beyond traditional business advice. We talk about the mindset shifts, branding clarity, and bold decisions required to grow something that truly reflects who you are.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why shame — not failure — is the real reason businesses shut down
• The branding mistake many entrepreneurs make when trying to look “luxury”
• How your personal style and identity influence your brand success
If you’re building a brand, growing a business, or stepping into bigger rooms, this episode will challenge the way you think about success.
