I feel so blessed and grateful to have you as a part of my community.

We’ve just completed an incredible Live Your Life In S.T.Y.L.E. event, and I’m still riding the emotional high, and basking in the afterglow from all of the incredible breakthroughs that happened there. So many people at our event made a commitment to go forth and show up as the BEST version of themselves, even though it may feel uncomfortable.

It truly lights up my soul whenever I see someone’s life transform before my eyes, whether it’s at one of our events, in our membership group, or even when I receive a reply to an email telling me that what I wrote really made a difference in their life.

So today, I celebrate you and thank you for sharing all of who you you are in the world. You may not realize it, but when you show up fully in the world, it inspires ME to bring you more of MY best work.

I could not do what I do without YOU, and know that when you grow, I grow. When you win, we win. When you have the courage to step out and be seen, it brings me such joy.

As part of this celebration and gratitude, I have a special “Lianaism” for you today that is one of my favorite sayings that I bring to the work I do with clients.

Watch the video here and learn all about what it means to  “Claim Your Crown!”

As we approach the holiday season I invite you to take a few minutes to watch the video, and see how you can access and express MORE of what makes you amazing!

You are a gift. You are a masterpiece. So, today, I invite you to own and claim every ounce of that masterpiece.

If you were to look through my eyes when I recorded this video in Mexico, you’d see all the different architectural shapes and sizes, and beautiful gardens that I’m saw at outside my window.

It reminded me of you, my wonderful community.

Each of you is unique, special and brilliant. You are all different shapes and sizes and come from such a variety of backgrounds, and I celebrate you for it. You are all beautiful.

Too often, I think we get caught up in trying to be more like someone else, especially as we work on transforming our lives. While it’s certainly useful to admire someone, and allow other people to be a mirror for us, when we try to become more like someone else, we are depriving ourselves of our greatest asset…our uniqueness.

The strength of being YOU shows up when you gracefully and authentically express your YOU-ness into the world. It takes courage to express yourself, but I want you to know that when you allow yourself to shine, you honor who you are AND inspire others to do the same.

So in this month’s Through Liana’s Eyes video, I invite you to focus on YOUR lane. Be who YOU are, because everyone else is taken. Embrace your own beautiful masterpiece and honor every single piece of it, regardless of your shape, size, talents or background.

I invite you to enjoy the video and see the beauty I see when I look at you through my eyes.

I see you, and you are magnificent.

Let’s Talk About Hair Color!

I’m so excited about this month’s Image Therapy 101 because it’s something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about for a long time.

Let’s talk about the fierceness of hair color, and why I’m passionate about you NOT dying your hair!

I know you might be freaking out right now a little bit.

“Liana, did you just tell me NOT to dye my hair?”

Yes I did! So take a breath, and stick with me for a minute here and watch the Image Therapy 101 Video so I can share why I feel so strongly about this, and what to do when it comes to your hair color.

Here’s a few of the things I’ll share in this month’s video mini-training

1. Some science behind “pigmentation”, and why your hair actually does what it does as you age.
2. The unintended consequences of dying your hair instead of letting it go natural
3. How your hair color works in harmony with your skin tone and eye color, and why dying your hair throws off that harmony
4. Why wearing your hair naturally allows your true essence to show up in the world, and why that’s so powerful.

Enjoy this month’s Image Therapy 101, and when you go out and apply the tips I’m teaching, I invite you to share your experiences on our Facebook page!

Lately, there’s been a lot going through my mind and my heart, and I’ve been trying to triangulate those thoughts and feelings with what’s going on around me in the outside world. I’ve been deeply pondering how I can best bring that awareness to my work and my service to you.

I often speak in this e-zine and in my videos about how truly amazing life is, and share all the wonderful things going on in my life.

Life IS wonderful.

However, as a human being, and as an Image Therapist, it’s important to remain connected to the reality that this journey called life isn’t always perfect. Sometimes we feel hurt. Sometimes we feel disappointment, and sometimes we feel pain.

Just like all of you, I experience tough days, or even tough weeks and months, and in those seasons, I’m so grateful for the amazing people in my life who send me love right when I need it most.

So, in this month’s version of Through Liana’s Eyes I’m bringing that love to YOU. I want to share a powerful reminder with you that I know will make a difference for you the next time things get tough, or the next time it feels like life is stacked against you.

You’ve likely heard me say that Image Therapy is about far more than just clothes. It’s about embracing ALL of who you are so that you can shine your brilliant light in the world.

Enjoy this month’s Through Liana’s Eyes, and know that today I’m sending you my love, wherever you may be, or whatever you may be going through.

I see you, and you are magnificent.

Let’s Talk About Skin Tone!

You may have noticed as you’ve been out shopping this time of year that everyone seems to be talking about or selling this idea of “skin tone.”

I decided to focus this month’s Image Therapy 101 on skin tone so you would not only become aware of it, but also feel so you would get out there and take full advantage of it. Once the season changes over, it won’t be as easy as it is now to buy things that are perfect for you, and I want you to capitalize on the opportunity.

Watch this month’s Image Therapy 101 video where I will share with you:

1. What “skin tone” really means.
2. The specific differences between light and dark skin tone, and the entire spectrum of color that it includes.
3. How to focus in on and select the colors that look amazing on YOUR skin tone. There are some subtle things to watch for that I share in the video
4. Some real life examples of what the different kinds of tones actually look like. I’ll show you specific wardrobe pieces so the next time you shop, you know exactly what to look for.

Enjoy this month’s Image Therapy 101, and when you go out and apply the tips I’m teaching, I invite you to share your experiences on our Facebook page!

This month at Image Therapists International, it’s all about travel!

As summer approaches, many of you are probably planning vacations, getaways to the beach, or maybe even some international trips. That’s why much of the training for my VIP clients and Live Your Life in S.T.Y.L.E. members this month is focused on how to pack, what to pack, and how to make the entire travel process less stressful and more FUN!

I love to travel for many reasons, but perhaps one of my favorite aspects of travel is that it shifts my perspective and offers an opportunity to reflect on not only where I’m going in life, but how far I’ve already come.

As life gets full, it’s easy to always focus on the horizon ahead, and anticipate where we’re headed next. However, In this month’s Through Liana’s Eyes, I invite you to reflect on how far you’ve already traveled, and how much you’ve already accomplished in this world.

You are an amazing human being, and it’s so important to check in with the magnitude of your incredible journey from infant, to adolescent, to adult.

Do you realize how much you’ve grown, both physically and emotionally? Think about that miracle for a moment.

You’ve “traveled” from being an infant who couldn’t speak, to an adult who can read this message, and share it with others. You’ve “traveled” a great distance from where you were just 1 year ago. You’ve learned so much, accomplished so much, and become so much!

So as you enjoy my practical “travel” tips below in the Image Therapy 101 session, I invite you to take in the beautiful perspective of how far you’ve already traveled in this month’s Through Liana’s Eyes.

I see you, and you are magnificent.

How to Travel Lightly and Still Look Your Best

Do you love to travel, but hate packing? Does it sometimes feel like you need 2 extra suitcases every time you leave town? Do you ever say to yourself “Next time I’m packing less stuff!”?

You’re not alone. So many of my clients come to me with this same challenge, so in this month’s Image Therapy 101, I’m going to share my best tips for making your next packing experience much easier and lighter.

Tip 1 – Create a Wardrobe Travel Log

You probably know which of your current, everyday outfits are your favorites right? These are your “staples,”  or the outfits that you seem to pull out again and again because they make you look great and feel great.

Take a photo of these outfits and add them to a travel log. Organize them by season, occasion or dress code.  Then, when you’re getting ready for your next trip, you can check your itinerary, and plan ahead to make sure these items are clean, and ready to pop in the suitcase. If you had a few of these “staple” items for various occasions ready to go, you will likely cut your packing time down significantly.  

Tip #2 – Packing Begins When You Shop!

If you are a frequent traveler, before you purchase any new clothing item, ask yourself how you can use it as a part of your travel outfits. Can you repurpose this for a few different occasions and outfits? Is it easy to pack? Can you use this item with different accessories and shoe combinations?

Of course if you love the item, you can still buy it even if it doesn’t fit into your travel plans, but if you want to make the packing process easier and more fun, I highly recommend thinking ahead the next time you’re in the store!

Tip #3 – Always Have a “Column of Color”

If you’ve been around my campus for a while, you’ve heard me talk about “column of color” a lot. It’s a basic necessity of any outstanding wardrobe, and refers to having color on the top that matches color on the bottom.

Whether that means choosing a blouse with matching pants, or having a blue blazer that closely matches the blue in your eyes, you want to create this consistent “column of color” and pack accordingly. By doing so, you will always have a solid base of options to build around. If it’s a formal occasion, you can wear a layer on top of your base “column” to give the outfit some glitz. If you’re headed to a casual affair, perhaps you can layer a scarf or shawl on top of your base “column.”

Bonus Tip!!

Play! Have fun!

Packing and travel can be enjoyable experiences, especially if you implement the three tips above. Instead of dreading the experience or waiting until the last minute, try approaching this process with the same level of play as I always recommend you use in your closet.

Enjoy the journey of travel from the moment you shop, to the moment you unpack your suitcase after returning from the airport.

Until next time, happy travels!

Spring is in the air!

This time of year often brings about new ideas, fresh starts, and new beginnings, and here at Image Therapists International we are definitely feeling the excitement! We just started our newest Virtual S.T.Y.L.E. Academy course, and welcomed so many wonderful souls into our community who are ready to uplevel their wardrobe and lives overall.

I’m also receiving daily inspiration from watching our Live Your Life in S.T.Y.L.E. members stretch their comfort zones, and allow their magnificence to truly shine in the world. I’m truly filled with gratitude about what I get to do every day with wonderful people like you from all over the world.

Speaking of allowing your magnificence to shine, this month we’ve been talking about hair around here. Specifically, I’ve been teaching many of our clients how to easily work with their hair so their natural, authentic beauty just radiates from their body.

So many women freak out about creating the perfect hair color and style, and convince themselves that the entire process needs to be hard. The key to looking and feeling our best is to use and accentuate the wonderful qualities we already have.

Authenticity is beautiful and attractive. Embracing our quirks and our differences allows us to be free, and completely present to everything the Universe has to offer. Instead of working so hard to hide our imperfections, let’s celebrate them!

This month, I invite you to allow things to be easy and simple. Whether it’s your wardrobe, your hair, or your business, give yourself permission to be imperfect. Grant yourself the gift of allowing your natural amazing brilliance to stand out and be seen. Don’t “try” too hard.

I share more on this topic in the video and article below, but for now, have a wonderful month, and enjoy the spring season!

I love you and have an amazing month!

Perfectly Imperfect

We are all masterpieces exactly the way we are. We are perfectly imperfect, and we have an opportunity every day to show the world who we really are. Our imperfections are what make us beautiful and unique, if we choose to embrace them instead of hide from them or pretend they don’t exist.

It’s human to be imperfect. In fact, life would be pretty boring if we all were perfect wouldn’t it?

I see you. I see your beauty, your radiance, and your wonderful uniqueness. I see your gorgeous soul without the makeup, the jewelry, and the expensive hairdo. I see what makes you amazing just by witnessing the authenticity of your masterpiece.

The question is, do YOU see this in you?

It can be scary to really look at ourselves and see the realness of who we are. That’s why I invite you to practice what I call “The Mirror Exercise.”

Each day, I encourage you to stand in front of the mirror completely naked, stripped down, without your second skin of clothing, jewelry and makeup. Really take in all of your brilliance and bear witness to the masterpiece that you are.

The same life force that created rivers, mountains, oceans and stunning sunsets also created YOU. Allow that to sink into your being as you stand in front of that mirror every day. Allow it without judgment or criticism. If you see a new curve on your body, embrace it and welcome it. If you see an imperfection, approach it with gratitude and amazement.

Instead of looking for what we don’t love or what we want to change, what would be possible if we just stood there at the mirror and accepted how fantastic we are, in all our glory?

When you give yourself the gift of seeing that beauty in the mirror every day, can you imagine the impact that would have on how you feel every day, and what kind of impact that would have on everyone you meet?

Allow yourself to show the world ALL of who you are. Honor it. Bask in it. Own it.

It’s my honor and blessing to guide you on this transformational journey.

“You Love the Outfit But Does It Love You.”

The Extraordinary Love Series

Ready to find love?

In all the years of doing my Image Therapy work, I know that attracting love into our lives begins on the inside.

This process takes time, care, and a willingness to be honest with ourselves, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the work I do. If you’ve ever struggled to find the right partner, or it seems like you just don’t have success in the love department, my friend and colleague, Orchid Tao has a brand new free resource that is a perfect compliment to my work.

Orchid is one of the most passionate and dedicated Love Coaches I know, and I’m confident you’ll gain a lot from her work.

She has created a brand new, complimentary resource called “THE EXTRAORDINARY LOVE SERIES: How to Love Yourself Deeply and Release Fears of Intimacy, So You Can FINALLY Have the Love You Want!”

It started on Monday and brings together 30+ experts (including me!) to show you how to break through your blocks and find lasting love.
