The Psychology of Getting Dressed: A Conversation With Samantha Harman

In this episode I'm joined by Samantha Harman; award-winning editor turned style strategist for ambitious women, and author of the upcoming book Just Get Dressed: Why You Have Nothing to Wear and What to Do About It (out May 1st, 2026). Samantha's work isn't really about clothes. It's about identity, psychology, and the stories we're carrying every time we open the wardrobe - and this conversation went deep fast.

In this episode we'll cover;

• Why most personal styling advice only does half the job
• What "I have nothing to wear" is actually telling you
• Why female martyrdom shows up in a 12-pound supermarket blouse
• What Samantha starts with when a client books her in (it's not what you'd think)

Reflect on this: When you opened your wardrobe this morning, who were you really asking yourself to be?
