The Happy Middle with Suzy Darke27 Touko 2024

Finding Your Style in Midlife with Emma Carr

Do you save your clothes for best? I have to admit that I do and my guest today, personal stylist and image consultant Emma Carr wants us all to stop doing that.

I worked with Emma a few years ago when I felt like I had no idea how I wanted to look anymore after having children and hitting my 40s. I love Emma's approach to helping us navigate changes in our lives and identities through style.

We chatted about the complexities women face in midlife, including transitions like starting businesses, going through divorces, and experiencing menopause, and how these can lead to a loss of personal style and self-identity. Emma generously shared insights from both her professional work with clients and her personal journey highlighting the therapeutic aspect of style and the empowering effect of embracing one’s evolving self and body through all of life's stages.

Episode highlights:

03:39 The Impact of Motherhood and Career on Style

07:15 The Significance of Clothes and Self-Perception

12:28 The Inner Work Behind Style Choices

22:35 Embracing Change and Self-Love in Midlife

30:21 The Power of Midlife and Looking Forward
