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.

The Connection Crisis: How to Create Deeper Relationships in a Busy World
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Connection starts with you. Everything else grows from there.
In this episode of Make It You, I sit down with Shari Leid, connection expert, keynote speaker, five-time author, and creator of Flip the Box®, to talk about why so many people feel disconnected from themselves, their relationships, and their communities—and how to reconnect in meaningful ways.
We discuss:
• Why modern life is making connection harder, even though we're more connected than ever
• Shari's 4-step Flip the Box® method for creating authentic connection in 60 seconds or less
• The difference between living a good life and creating a truly aligned life
• How to recognize when you're disconnected from yourself
• Why embracing your "weirdness" is often the key to deeper confidence and belonging
• The surprising connection between self-expression, personal style, and authentic relationships
This conversation is about reconnecting with yourself, building meaningful relationships, and creating a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
