Permission with Jamie Scrimgeour

This week, I'm chatting with wardrobe stylist Chellie Carlson, and we get into a lot more than what jeans to buy. We talk about the psychology behind getting dressed, the piece of self-care so many women are missing, and the connection Chellie makes between your wardrobe, your confidence, and your earning potential. Because whether we like it or not, how we represent ourselves to the world affects how we're treated. In this episode, we talk about: How what you put on in the morning can affect how you feel, how you show up, and what you're willing to put yourself out there for.  Why Chellie thinks most women need to buy bigger jeans.  What needs to go from your closet before you buy anything else.  Her thoughts on skinny jeans coming back  What a boy said to me on the basketball court in grade seven that has haunted me ever since. Whether I really need to get out of my Lululemons when I'm working from home, and how to feel put together while still being comfortable.  There's practical style advice in here, but also a lot that might make you think differently about getting dressed tomorrow morning. https://www.chelliecarlson.com/ Permission on Substack: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/substack SPONSORS: OSEA www.oseamalibu.com use code PERMISSION for 10% off Cozy Earth www.cozyearth.com use code COZYJAMIE for 20% off LMNT www.drinklmnt.com/permission

Colleen helps high-achieving women change their relationship with alcohol without shame, surrender or the idea that the only option is to never drink again. In this episode, we talk about: Mommy wine culture back in the covid days Using alcohol as a way to cope Why cutting back isn't just about willpower Mindful and responsible drinking Emotional regulation and paying attention to what you actually need Colleen's strategies for hangovers The pressure women are under What Colleen learned from AA and why she began questioning the disease model of alcoholism What changing your relationship with alcohol can look like without necessarily cutting it out completely This was such an honest, eye-opening conversation, and I think a lot of women will see themselves in parts of it.

What if nothing is actually wrong with your life… but you still know you want something different? In the first episode of Permission, I'm talking about reinvention, starting over at 40, and what it really looks like to walk away from a successful business and identity you've outgrown. I'm sharing why I left the stepmom niche after almost a decade, the financial and ego hit that came with changing direction, and what this season is teaching me about money, work, getting older and figuring out what comes next. Because you don't need to hate your life to want to change it. And you don't need to have the entire next chapter figured out to start. Welcome to Permission. I'm so glad you're here.   Subscribe to the Permission Newsletter www.jamiescrimgeour.com/substack Cozy Earth www.cozyearth.com code COZYJAMIE for 20% off The ChatGPT Setup Every Woman Needs www.jamiescrimgeour.com/chatsetup The Stepmom Summit www.thestepmomsummit.com
