Woman often find themselves living each day by default after a major life transition like changing careers, ending a relationship, becoming a mother, facing an empty nest, losing a loved one, etc. wondering who they have become.
Many caregivers, achievers or survivors lose confidence in the process and opening up the wardrobe doors reveal the evidence!
Refining who you are and how you want the world to see you, reminds of the Aladdin story – when you rub and polish the lamp, your inner genie (read genius) is revealed! Confident women makes wishes come true...it's called the ripple effect!
• Do not believe in the look better, feel better mantra, because nothing in your closet excites you;
• Experience that looking good takes extra time which you do not have;
• Get overwhelmed when you start sorting that overflowing wardrobe, you stop and just close the doors;
• You feel emotionally attached to the items in your wardrobe and can’t let go;
• Feel frustrated changing outfits multiple times when getting dressed in the morning; show up uncomfortable and self-conscious;
• Dislike shopping and hate spending huge amounts of money on clothes;
• Dread meeting up with girlfriends because you feel awkward and not so well put together as they do;
• Lost a spark in your relationship because the lounge wear trend took over and you seriously need to get your sexy back;
• Successful in your career but your image needs to level up, you notice people responding differently to female peers looking the part;
• Been stuck in a style rut so long you don’t know what to buy for your shape, age or lifestyle;
• Want your children to proudly say “Mommy looks pretty” but you feel too overwhelmed or depleted to even make the effort;
• You crave support, kindness and a reminder that you are important;
• You are curious and committed to being the best version of YOURSELF and prepared to put in the work.
YOU are the mom arriving at school on time, admired by all others thinking "How does she manage it all?"
The point of difference being YOUR casual outfit flatters your shape, the clothing colours suit your skin tone and the accessories bring the outfit together perfectly. You are greeted with smiles and friends compliment your appearance. Your day is off to a fabulous start and you excitedly look forward to meeting your partner for an evening of dining and connecting, dressed in a sizzling ensemble.
YOU step into the meeting room and people look up and pause for a second, sensing your dynamic presence.
Your outfit conveys your personality perfectly. You are seen and when you voice your opinion, you are heard. The straight leg pants makes your short frame look taller and jacket ends just below the widest part of your hip, hiding a rounded tummy. The soft blouse underneath has a lovely draping effect disguising this figure concern. Your style allows you to focus on being brilliant and productive, because you own your look.
I can sense you nodding along.
Lovely to meet you, I am Willene Sieberhagen, caregiver and confidence catalyst and this is my style story...
My story continues....I truly felt I had no presence, no voice and suddenly no style inspiration. My go-to uniform became comfy jeans, nursing wrap tops, ballerina pumps and a mom bun. How exciting.
Time went by where I tried to wear “’what was”’ only to discover it did not suit my lifestyle or shape anymore and the remainder of my wardrobe held no excitement. I started spending on things I thought I should like, trying hard to make a comeback to society but also career wise as makeover specialist, workshop presenter and stylist. I felt pressurized to compete with gorgeous influencers and young moms at school who flaunted the latest trends with ease.
Ironically I was never a firm fashion follower, I always had a classic style, so the more fashion items I bought and tried, the less I recognized myself in the mirror.
I felt scattered, ungrounded, invisible and superfluous but holding on to outfits that I spent a ton of money on. Removing it from my wardrobe would be embarrassing, meaning I was wrong – not as in oopsie, but career wrong! My confidence level plunged as I struggled to relaunch my identity and my business, and at home I would become easily overwhelmed and feel out of control. This lead to the title of the second book:
Life is not a McDonalds drive-through - you can’t just order what you want and get it exactly as expected!
It hit me. I AM EVOLVING. I AM BECOMING. I am not in the McDonalds drive-through queue. This was my journey and I had to do the inner work to reveal who I had become and then define a style that was the true me. I cleared my head of all the sneaky gremlins, shouting that I am not deserving of having a purposeful career AND raise beautiful, confident children, AND have an amazing, supportive husband AND have spare capacity to embrace life as it happens, and, and, and…
The gremlins were also in my wardrobe - I had beautiful outfits, textures and prints but often reached for jeans and tees, wanting to keep myself small to make others feel bigger. But not anymore. I gave myself to permission to have it all, eliminating all blocks that’s been there for ages. I completely stepped into my feminine power and my elevated effortless elegant style - and have never felt so in control before. Never felt so deserving to receive before - in the past it was all about me giving. YOU CAN HAVE THIS TOO!

“I feel so special, got my oomph back , because someone took care of ME for a change. Willene showed me that I have a shape with many assets, not just problem areas. She made a daunting task of clearing my old clothes so much easier. She made me feel very comfortable and gave excellent advice. Some of my old clothes feel like new items now that I have different items to where them with. Her program is for anyone who needs to up level. I immediately implemented her advice regarding my make-up and it made a huge difference. "
— Julyanne 38, Mom &
Migration Consultant
“Willene assisted me with a new wardrobe with clothes that actually fit, colours accentuating my strengths and styles hiding my body’s weak points. She knew how to match the articles to get multiple outfits. Her talent transformed my life. I was still fat but when I looked in the mirror, I felt more accepting of myself.
Since, I have been on a journey of self-discovery, healing, weight loss and learning how to love myself. My mind shifted to bettering myself for me. I realised I didn’t have to hide until I reached my goal weight. She showed me that as a plus size, I could still make heads turn."
