You Care, I Care
WHEN WE LOOK GOOD WE FEEL GOOD WITH OLWEN SHAW
On today’s episode of ‘You Care, I Care’ Janet is joined by Olwen Shaw of Olwen Shaw Style. Olwen and Janet have been friends for nearly 20 years and with Olwen’s interesting career journey it was a no brainer to have her as today’s guest!
Olwen started off as a physiotherapist who worked mainly in the respiratory sector moving onto other areas including palliative care which she absolutely loved. She then changed career paths leaving physiotherapy to do personal style.
It might seem like quite the change of career but it’s actually still a form of care because when we look good, we feel good! Personal styling is caring about people and supporting them with their self esteem and increasing their confidence to feel better about themselves.
Throughout the episode Olwen explains what it is that made her change careers, what her friends thought when she started incorporating some different colour into her wardrobe and about some of her interesting client experiences.
Olwen also works with a wonderful charity called ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ which has been set up for ladies who are having treatment for cancer and want to be able to feel good in the way they dress and in the way they feel about themselves.
