She Spent 18 Years Working With High-Risk Offenders — Now She's a Personal Stylist | Tash Insights

Tash Insights continues with a deeply personal conversation with Georgina Davies, also known as Brighton Stylist.

Georgina sits down with Tash Courtenay-Smith to share the remarkable story behind her career, from spending 18 years in the criminal justice system to building a personal styling business that helps women feel visible, confident and like themselves again.

Before becoming a stylist, Georgina worked with high-risk offenders, including men who had served long prison sentences for serious offences. Her role involved assessing people before release, supporting them into semi-independent housing, helping them rebuild their lives, and managing risk as they adjusted back into the community.

That experience shaped the way she works today. Georgina explains how styling is really about people, trust and confidence. Just as her previous role required her to connect quickly, listen closely and understand what was really going on beneath the surface, her work now helps women unpick the internal monologue that stops them wearing what they want and showing up fully in their lives.

This episode explores the real psychology of style. Georgina explains why clothes are never just about clothes, how colour and shape can change the way women feel, and why so many women lose confidence through life transitions such as motherhood, perimenopause, career change or simply years of putting themselves last.

Tash and Georgina also reflect on their 44-year friendship, the moment Brighton Stylist was born, and how personal style has become a powerful part of Tash’s own brand and visibility.

You’ll hear:

• How Georgina spent 18 years working with high-risk offenders
• What her criminal justice career taught her about trust, confidence and human behaviour
• How she moved from rehabilitation work into personal styling

It’s honest, funny and unexpectedly moving, with powerful insight into reinvention, confidence and the everyday impact of feeling good in what you wear.
