Somewhere, you got quiet.
A job that ended. A move. A body that changed. Kids who grew up. Life happened, and somewhere along the way, you started feeling a little less like yourself. Maybe you’ve lost touch with old friends, or maybe you just miss having women in your life you can talk to about the things you’re actually going through. Not small talk. The real stuff.
A space amongst friends to be unapologetically you.
This is our private place to show up before we feel ready.
Post the outfit (if you want to).
No trolls.
No algorithm.
No Greg from HR.
No intimidating mom from school drop-off.
A safe, nonjudgemental space where women are being brave together - talking about our body stuff, getting all the therapeutic benefits of showing up online, and posting the outfit along the way.
So what happens in The Changing Room?
I am so glad you asked.
The outfit is the daily ritual. What keeps us here is each other.
Somewhere to be seen
We are posting daily outfits and getting comfortable with being seen. Sometimes we talk about how they make us feel, and sometimes we ask for styling tips. But one thing we always do is cheer each other on. These ladies are an amazing hype crew.
Life, out loud
Body image, big life transitions, aging, and womaning in the current hellscape. The body stuff we have carried for years. Spontaneous but meaningful conversations.
Challenge your own story
Say “yes” to something you might usually say “no” to. Sleeveless tops aren’t for me? Never eat out alone? Challenge the narrative that you have created about yourself.
The rest of who you are
Sewing, knitting, music, paper craft, canning, cooking, flower arranging, our witchy ways, books we are reading…
Figuring it out, together
We are experimenting with tucking, lipstick, “the 7-point outfit” method… We are figuring it out together.
Something kind for yourself
Sometimes having a space to be accountable gets you out of a funk and into a routine of doing something kind for yourself. I truly believe dressing with intention is a profound form of self-love.
Here is what The Changing Room members are saying…
I’m so glad that someone started a vulnerable conversation… Being away from all my friends, having moved away, means that I really lack any sort of deep conversation that involves real vulnerability.
I feel like all the women who are participating are becoming friends that I want to have in my life!
I joined here… expecting to exchange tips on styling and full stop. I am astonished at how free and unbothered I feel when on here, and how that reflects into my daily.
In the Changing Room I’ve found a community of encouragers of authenticity. … It’s less about perfectly filming a style post and more about getting comfortable with my whole person taking up the space I deserve.
I am so happy to be here with all of you. I am very fortunate and grateful for all of you. Women are fierce and powerful.
Somehow The Changing Room has made me feel more joyful and excited about clothes - NEVER thought that would happen! … it’s the supportive, badass, persevering, vulnerable, hilarious kind women. I actually think it’s that.
Small shifts can make a big impact.
For the past 8 months I have been on a getting-dressed-with-intention and “be seen” journey on Instagram. There have been moments where I wanted to scrap the whole thing when it felt too messy, too spastic, or too changing. But I didn’t.
Posting my outfits online has shifted the way I see myself. I get regular DMs from women saying how inspired they are to show up for themselves, and how they wish they felt brave enough to post online but (understandably) don’t want to open their lives up to the scrutiny of the entire internet.
So I got to thinking: could women experience the same positive effects if they could photograph and “post” themselves in a more controlled environment? So out of this fever dream, The Changing Room was born.

February vs. now.
Sound like you?
- You’ve felt peripheral and want to find a place to belong.
- You’re a woman in midlife, ready for visibility, community, and to show up for yourself.
- You wish you felt brave enough to post online, but (understandably) don’t want to open your life up to the scrutiny of the entire internet.
- You’re messy and changing. AND THAT IS THE POINT!
A few things you might be wondering
Who sees my photos?
Only the women inside. It’s a private community: no trolls, no algorithm, a safe, nonjudgemental space.
Do I need to be into fashion?
No. This is about showing up, being seen, and finding women who get it. Getting dressed is just the daily excuse - post the outfit if you want to, or don’t.
