In Episode 1 of Season 14, I chat with Helen Rydge — clinical psychologist, vintage enthusiast, and softly defiant dresser - whose wardrobe tells the story of a woman who grew into herself after becoming a mother. While others may have retreated, Helen emerged more fully. No longer dressing to blend in to the crowd, Helen dresses to honour the creative, curious, and caring components of herself.

Through our chat, Helen shares how fashion can be an anchor — for identity, for confidence, and for connection. And how sometimes, the most powerful thing you can wear is something entirely for you.

I hope you can sit back, relax and enjoy listening to Helen's story.

If Helen’s story inspires you to reconnect with your personal style, I’m offering 15 complimentary style consultations for Style Stories listeners. Whether you’re rediscovering who you are or simply ready for a wardrobe refresh, I’d love to help you get dressed with more confidence and intention.
