What does it actually take to reinvent yourself without losing who you are? Meredith Duxbury joins Bailey for a conversation about reinvention, confidence, beauty, fashion, and learning how to evolve in a way that still feels authentic.

Meredith also shares what she’s learned about building confidence, creating a strong community, knowing your value in business, and pushing past the fear of embarrassment or failure.
