Do you open your closet and feel overwhelmed, uninspired, or disconnected from yourself? In this episode, Alicia and Nicole dive into the powerful connection between your wardrobe, your nervous system, and your identity—especially in midlife.

This is more than a closet cleanout. It’s a midlife closet reset—an act of self-care that helps you release old identities, reduce stress, and reconnect with who you are now. The hosts walk you through a compassionate, step-by-step framework for decluttering your closet without guilt, perfectionism, or overwhelm.

If you’re navigating perimenopause, body changes, career shifts, or an evolving sense of self—and you’re tired of staring at a closet full of clothes with “nothing to wear”—this episode is your sign to let go and realign.
