Who Are You Wearing It For?

In recent days, I’ve seen a lot of content circulating about luxury handbags, replicas, excessive

consumption, status, and trends.

And while the topic may seem superficial at first glance, it carries something much deeper:

the way we choose to present ourselves to the world.

This isn’t about fashion.

It’s about intention.

Do you buy because you genuinely like it—or because you want to be seen?

We live in an era where appearances speak loudly.

What you wear, carry, or display often shouts before you even open your mouth.

But who is truly in control of your choices?

You, or others’ expectations?

Brands are symbols—but what are they saying about you?

It’s important to remember:

Your journey is unique.

And because it’s unique, your desires and reasons are too.

• What motivates you to desire a specific branded item?

• Does it speak to your story?

• Does it have genuine symbolic value for you?

Or is it because, somehow, you feel you “need to be seen” with it?

There’s no right or wrong here.

But there is awareness.

And awareness is always the first step towards freedom.

Freedom isn’t about having everything—it’s about knowing what truly represents you.

If your choice is an original item, let it be out of pleasure, meaning, and true connection with who

you really are today—your moment, your identity, your REALITY, your soulful aesthetic.

Not because it’s trendy, but because it aligns with your current self—recognizing that you change,

and it’s okay to change.

In the Mastery Program, I share this vision with those who join me on the journey.

Mentoring my students, we definitely cover technique, yes.

But we also discuss professional identity.

We talk about seeing oneself as unique—and seeing each client uniquely as well.

Because no one is like anyone else.

You can’t fit everyone into the same mold—neither as a person nor as a professional.

That’s why I sleep well at night.

Because the professionals who complete my programs aren’t just skilled—they are awakened.

Awakened to choose with freedom.

Awakened to live more authentically.

Awakened to be whole both inside and outside their professional spaces.

And you, have you been choosing for yourself—or for others’ perceptions?

• Does what you wear speak of you… or what others expect of you?

• Does what you buy fulfill you… or just momentarily validate you?

• Does your drive come from within… or from the feed of someone you secretly admire more

than you admit?

These questions don’t have ready-made answers.

But just allowing yourself to reflect on them takes you off autopilot.

And stepping off autopilot is always a step toward freedom.

If you’re going to wear something, let it be authentic. Let it resonate with who you truly are, aligned with your values and guiding principles.

It’s not about the showcase.

It’s about your essence.

Because when you make aligned choices, even what you carry on your shoulder or feet takes on a

different weight:

Meaning.

With presence,
