The Glow Code: Style Your Life

Maren Swensonwww.buzzsprout.com

As a Life and Fashion Coach, I've learned that the thing we're all searching for is life is freedom. Freedom to be our true selves, and to love it.

Prone to conformity, suppression, and just trying to be the "good girl," I quieted my voice and outsourced my wholeness, hoping someone or something else would make me happy. 


It was only when I allowed ALL the parts of me to surface—the messy, different, and wild parts—that I felt whole in my body. I was done searching externally for self-love and peace, knowing that I had all the power and love I ever needed right inside of me. I just had to be willing to find it, and most importantly, express it.


Style is an external expression of your inner radiance and truth. So before we go out, come inward with me!

From Self-Doubt to Self-Possessed: My Real Confidence Glow-Up

A year ago, I was right on the edge. Smiling. Hopeful. Nervous as hell. I had just started my business. My marriage was shifting in big, uncomfortable ways.

I’ve said yes to the wildest invitations life had for me. I’ve walked through sacred plant medicine journeys that cracked me open in ways I can’t unsee. I’ve sat with...
