Episode 43: Midlife, Identity & Confidence: How Your Style Impacts Your Energy, Body & Self-Worth with Alex Standley

There’s a point in midlife where so many women quietly think:“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”Not just in their body… but in how they show up, how they dress, and how they move through the world.In this episode, I’m joined by style and identity strategist Alex Standley, and we dive into something that doesn’t get talked about enough — the powerful connection between your style, your confidence, your body, and your wellbeing.Because this isn’t just about clothes.It’s about identity. It’s about self-trust. It’s about how you feel when you walk into a room.We talk about: Why so many women feel disconnected from themselves in midlife  How hormonal changes, body changes and life transitions impact confidence  The psychology of what you wear (and why it matters more than you think)  Why “hiding” in safe outfits can keep you stuck  The link between strength training, mindset and identity  Rebuilding confidence in small, realistic steps (not overhauls)  Sustainable fashion, intention, and breaking the fast-fashion cycle  The power of community when it comes to staying consistent Alex also shares her personal journey — from a complicated relationship with food and exercise, to building strength, energy and confidence in a way that actually fits her life.This conversation is honest, empowering and incredibly relatable.If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost your spark, your style, or your sense of self… this one will land.🔗 Links & ResourcesFind Alex here:Website: https://www.alexandrastandley.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexandrastandleyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-standley-personal-stylistListen to Alex’s podcast – A Styled Life: www.alexandrastandley.co.uk/astyledlifepodcastDownload the Elevated Sustainable Style Guide: https://www.alexandrastandley.co.uk/elevatedsustainablestyleguideStart your SHE journey today with a 7 Day Free Trial https://www.theshecollective.co.uk
