The Surprising Link Between What You Wear and How You Show Up in Midlife (Ep. 27)

Ever wonder if what you wear at home really makes a difference? Imagine if your outfit—even your soft pants—could shape your mindset, productivity, and confidence for the entire day.

In this episode, I dive into the science and psychology behind what we wear and how it impacts the way we feel and function, especially in midlife. Whether you work from home, head into an office, or are somewhere in between, this conversation is about more than clothes—it’s about identity, intention, and how we want to show up in our own lives.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

✔ What “enclothed cognition” is and how your brain responds to what you’re wearing
✔ Why getting dressed can actually change your mindset and boost confidence
✔ How to use clothing as a tool to signal the mood, energy, and focus you want to have
✔ Why it’s time to clean out anything in your closet that makes you feel less than your best

🎯 OMG Moment: What you wear isn’t just about style—it’s a signal to your brain that says, “I’m ready. Let’s go.”

Take Action
Ask yourself each morning: How do I want to feel today? Then get dressed in a way that reflects that intention. Your clothes aren’t just an outfit—they’re your energy.

Mind Your Midlife: Confidence and Success, One Thought at a Time, with Cheryl Fischer

Did you wake up one morning and realize that you’ve hit midlife? Your forties (or fifties!) are here. You thought by now you’d have six figures in your retirement fund, have the confidence to speak up at work and in your relationships, and would have learned to love your body by now. You’ve read and listened to all the self help and taken the experts’ advice, whether it’s thinking positively, joining the 5am club, or posting notes to yourself around the house. With every next attempt, though, you’re left with even more frustration - or wanting to numb the pain with wine and Netflix.But what if personal development could actually work? Have you ever considered that it’s not what you do, but it’s how you think and the emotions you feel that create real change? What if you could wake up each morning looking forward to the day instead of hitting snooze four times? What if you could feel confident and beautiful in your body instead of comparing yourself to others? What if you could spend each day doing work that matters and brings you success instead of trudging through and wishing for the weekend?As an award-winning Life Coach, teacher, and trainer, Cheryl Fischer has helped hundreds of women in midlife find success and confidence. This transformation does not have to be about adding more tasks and habits to your day; change comes from inside and you can start now.Join us each week as Cheryl, her guests, and her clients share with you how to feel confident in your body, your decisions, and your goals - and create a midlife that you love.(Formerly OMG Teach Me podcast)
