113. Building a Minimalist-Ish Wardrobe and Finding Your Style with Christina Mychas

In this episode of Don’t Depend on Daddy, Michela is joined by Christina Mychas—pharmacist turned YouTuber and stylist—to talk all things intentional living, personal style, and Christina’s signature concept: minimalist-ish. Together, they unpack how to shift from chronic overspending and shame-driven “no buys” to curating a wardrobe (and lifestyle) that feels aligned, elevated, and joyful. Expect a deep dive into capsule wardrobes, finding your outfit formula, buying better, and the behavioral science behind why we shop—and how to stop. If you’ve ever looked at a closet full of clothes and felt like you had nothing to wear, this episode will change your perspective.
