199: Breaking the trend cycle and building style with substance with Christina Mychas

If you’ve ever found yourself with a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear—or wondering why your latest haul still leaves you feeling unsatisfied—this episode is for you. This week on the podcast I'm joined by Christina Mychas, a second-time guest on the show and the founder of Minimalist-ish. Christina is a YouTuber, author, wardrobe stylist and pharmacist who specializes in exploring the intersection between intentional living, intentional spending and intentional personal style. In this conversation, Christina and I explore the deeper layers of personal style, spending, and identity with a fresh lens. Together we unpack why a passion for style isn’t frivolous or superficial but rather foundational when done with intention. Christina and I cover: Why investing in your style isn’t a waste—it’s a mirror of who you are becoming How to uncover your personal style without getting swept up in seasonal trends What to consider before adding a new piece to your wardrobe The phases your closet goes through—and how to navigate them without overspending How strategic spending upfront can reduce impulse buys and save you thousands Tips for extending the life, value, and joy of the pieces you already love This episode is a guide for the woman ready to move beyond fast fashion and quick fixes—and into clarity, confidence, and embodied wealth through what she wears.
