Podcast Episode 347: Your Chic Wardrobe is Actually Hiding in Your Closet with Erika Cartledge
Ever stood in front of your closet, staring at a sea of clothes, and thought, I have nothing to wear—even though the evidence suggests otherwise? Or worse, pulled out an outfit that looked amazing in the store but now makes you resemble a sleep-deprived muppet? If so, you’re not alone, and we’ve got the perfect guest to help you escape the fashion struggle!
Meet Erika Cartledge, a professional stylist, image architect, and the powerhouse CEO of Your Chic Is Showing. We first met Erika at the Mom 2.0 Conference, where she wowed us with her vibrant style and actually made fashion feel fun (yes, even for busy moms). She’s also one of the incredible expert speakers at the 2025 Happy Mom Summit, sharing her best style secrets to help moms feel confident and put-together—without needing a celebrity budget (get your FREE ticket HERE!). Lucky for you, she’s spilling those same game-changing tips in this episode!
Erika breaks down the real reasons we get stuck in a style rut and how to snap out of it without spending hours curating the “perfect” outfit. She shares the must-have wardrobe staples that instantly upgrade your look, the biggest shopping mistakes to avoid, and why fashion should be about feeling good—not following random trends from TikTok teens. Plus, she’s got budget-friendly hacks that make shopping actually enjoyable (yes, really). Spoiler: Your style isn’t “bad”—you just need a few tweaks to make it work for you!
