Swan Song
I’m a little bit scared to write this, but these things are going to have to be said at some point, and I don’t want to wish I had done it sooner.
Inside my style business, things are changing. Uncomfortable, painful changes I’ve been obsessing over since the start of 2026.
But they’ve been many years in the making. Really since the beginning. See, I started with one struggle: creating a capsule wardrobe built out of just dresses.
And as I started blogging about my journey, I fell in love with color analysis, and spent 4 months creating twelve sensational articles about the color seasons. The heavens opened, Google discovered my color wisdom, I started offering virtual color analysis and a DIY course (first of it’s kind I might say), and things ran away.
But I kept coming back to the first goal, and the solution that I inadvertently discovered: Youniforms.
Because color was never the end goal for me.
So I kept building and pushing to teach this framework.
Simplify Your Style in 2022. Radiant Woman Intensive in 2023. Radiant Youniform System in 2023. Radiant Woman Adventure in 2024. A whole entire book in 2025. And now One Great Oufit in 2026.
And this is the hard truth: every single time, I have struggled to sell it. I have scraped and clawed and rode the launching rollercoaster of elated/depressed more times than I care to count.Â
And every new mentor and coach I’ve worked with I’ve told the same story: color analysis is what sells, Youniform is my passion.
And the booming color business has allowed me to follow my heart and enjoy the process. Until AI entered the scene.
I saw the writing on the wall back in 2024, and that’s why I started a book. In 2025 I saw it crashing harder, and finally offered certification services based on my years of experience. That launch killed it in a way I’ve never experienced.
And in 2026, I have had to contract the business and cut expenses to stay afloat. I have skipped paying myself twice so far as well.
Now comes the really painful part…
If I look at the data, the decision is clear.
But data doesn’t cover people. And it’s the people that I really love. The women who have said YES to this process over the last 4 years. The ones that are still here, and still transforming. The ones that sit on my Zoom calls month after month, loyal and lovely, lifting my spirits as much (or more) as I provide answers to their questions.Â
Feelings make things complicated, sad, and hard. But data doesn’t care about my feelings.
And I have prayed…
Early in 2026 when revenue fell below expenses, I prayed for help, and got a new color certification student.Â
Even through the painful algorithm shifts, the thing keeping me afloat is color analysis.
And I know that if I want to survive this coming AI slop-pocalypse, I’m going to have to follow what the data has been telling me for 6 years.
At this point in time, One Great Oufit is my Swan Song on personal style coaching. Throughout the rest of 2026, I am going to show up fully for the women already invested, and those that join us for this last offer.
After this summer, I will be turning my attention to Color Analysis Certification as the future (and lifeboat) of this business.
I have built a massive product library, and our DIY options will remain available for those who want them. And I hope to officially publish some off our workbooks and jornals moving forward. But direct access to me as a style mentor is coming to a close for the foreseeable future.Â
I can’t tell the future, so I’ll never say never. My heart hurts every time I think about this decision. And I spend hours every week wrestling with how to hold on to the transformation side that I love. But every time I faced with raw numbers, the story holds…
Like the fact that over 70% of my consumer audience opens every email, but less than 1% click buttons, and barely any purchase. While on the certification side, over 5% are clicking into offers and they don’t even know me very well.
And the old me would just keep pushing, but the other truth is that I don’t have the same kind of energy I used to.
A string of health challenges, followed by being thrown off a cliff into perimenopause, has highlighted my human limitations.
I am not the same person I was in 2020. I don’t have the same resilience, and I can’t keep running two full divisions.
Many of you won’t ever see this. The ones that I already love and spend time with, we will continue to provide a space for you and some level of support.
For those on the fence about One Great Oufit, I don’t know that I can say it any plainer…this is your last chance to work with me for the foreseeable future. This isn’t scarcity or a gimmick; it’s a very painful reality I am facing.
And the truth is that the whole world is changing due to AI and the economy is kinda crap right now. We all have to make choices about what matters and where to focus with limited energy and resources.
So this summer I am pouring my energy into the last Youniform cohort. And I’m overwhelmed at the excitement and response of our existing community, and can’t wait to serve them.
In September (hopefully) I will be publishing the completed version of the immersive study guide we are building this summer.
Our first week is 99% complete and I am excited to see how this crystal clear focus takes shape.
And I am committed to holding every moment with this community in my heart and treasuring it .
So if you’re ready, don’t wait. Join us. This is my Swan Song, and I hopefully have saved the best for last.
