It’s one thing to talk about style shifts. It’s another to hear someone describe how that shift changed how they walk into every room.

Brooke Janousek felt successful on paper but disconnected from how she was showing up. As CEO of a fractional CMO consultancy, her style was polished, professional, and totally… fine. She was receiving compliments about her outfits, but they didn’t reflect the creative, powerful, elegant badass leader she was evolving into… until we worked together to figure out her personal style.

In this episode of The Visibility Shift, Brooke reveals what it really looks like to step into a bolder, more aligned version of herself, especially in a corporate environment where blending in often feels safer than standing out. Her story is an example of a lived-in, real-world scenario of what visibility can look like when you stop dressing to play small and start feeling confident in what you wear (and the body on which you wear it).
