Ep.8 Stop Chasing Trends: Lisa Newport on Why Personal Style is About YOU, Not Fashion

Jenna Dale Season 1 Episode 9

I’m joined by the unapologetically bold Lisa Newport, a personal style and brand mentor who is here to turn the fashion world upside down. Lisa’s mission? To help women break free from the chains of fast fashion, trends, and societal expectations, and instead, dress in a way that fully expresses who they are.

Lisa shares her journey from the fashion industry to personal styling, revealing how the industry has led us all to believe that we need to conform to trends in order to feel good. But here’s the truth: style is about you, not what’s “in” right now.

We talk about the impact clothing has on our mindset and how it affects our confidence—how what we wear can change how we feel about ourselves and how others perceive us. Lisa also opens up about her personal mission to help women move beyond “making do” with their wardrobes and into a space where they can fully express themselves through fashion, regardless of trends.

This episode isn’t just about clothes—it’s about identity, self-worth, and empowerment. Lisa challenges the idea that fashion is just for the rich and famous or that it’s a shallow pursuit. Instead, it’s about owning your style, regardless of what others think.

If you’ve ever felt lost in a sea of trends, stuck with a wardrobe full of “meh” clothes, or felt like you’re not dressing to your fullest potential, this episode is for you. It’s time to step into your true style, stop worrying about the judgments of others, and start wearing what makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
