Welcome back to Busy House, Happy Home.

Today I’m joined by Charlotte Clark, a personal stylist and coach, for a really enjoyable and honest conversation about style, confidence, and dressing for real life.

Charlotte shares how her work combines personal styling and coaching, and why the two are so closely linked. We talk about how what we wear can influence how confident we feel, how we carry ourselves, and how we show up, whether that’s at work, at home, or simply going about our day.

We discuss wardrobe edits and why they are not about throwing everything away and starting again, but about understanding what suits you, what you actually wear, and how to make the most of what you already have. Charlotte talks about buying once and buying well, avoiding overwhelm, and how accessories, colour and a few thoughtful pieces can completely change how an outfit feels.

We also talk about dressing through different stages of life, including returning to work, menopause, changing bodies, and the reality of busy days where comfort and practicality matter just as much as style.

Charlotte shares stories from her work that show how deeply personal clothing can be, and how confidence is often tied to life experiences, not trends.

Charlotte also opens up about her own journey, including her experience with breast cancer at a young age, and how that shaped her outlook, her career path, and her desire to help others feel confident, supported and seen. We talk about vulnerability, empathy, and how helping people feel good in themselves often goes far beyond clothes alone.

This episode is a gentle, thoughtful conversation about confidence, self-belief, and finding what works for you, now, not who you used to be or who you think you should be.
