Description

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 Cost of Playing Small: Money, Confidence, and Building a Powerful Brand
2026/03/16
Money changes things. And when women start making more of it, everything shifts — how we lead, how we show up, and the power we hold in business. In this episode, Tannya sits down with Ashli Pollard, founder of The Do-ers, who previously worked with some of the biggest names in fashion, including Gucci, Prada, and Oscar de la Renta. After seeing firsthand what makes brands scale (and what makes them fail), Ashli now helps women build profitable, sustainable businesses without burning themselves out. This conversation goes beyond traditional business advice. We talk about the mindset shifts, branding clarity, and bold decisions required to grow something that truly reflects who you are. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why shame — not failure — is the real reason businesses shut down • The branding mistake many entrepreneurs make when trying to look “luxury” • How your personal style and identity influence your brand success If you’re building a brand, growing a business, or stepping into bigger rooms, this episode will challenge the way you think about success.
