In this joyful and intimate episode of I Want Her Shoes Podcast, host Anna Anisin sits down with best friends Samantha and Steven — a dynamic duo who bring the magic of friendship and fashion to life.

Steven isn’t just Samantha’s stylist — he’s her confidant, her mirror, and her partner in bold self-expression. Together, they open up about what it’s really like to work with a stylist, how it reshapes confidence from the inside out, and why personal style is so much more than just what you wear.

With a background in creative storytelling and an eye for detail, Steven approaches styling as both an art and a relationship — one that requires trust, vulnerability, and play. Samantha shares the emotional journey of being styled by someone who sees her fully — body, energy, and essence — and how that changed the way she carries herself in the world.

From outfit meltdowns to breakthrough moments, this episode is a peek behind the curtain of the stylist-client relationship — and a celebration of the joy, humor, and empowerment that can come from being truly seen.
