Homegirl Nation
Being a woman has never been easy and when the going gets tough, we can all use a homegirl to lean on. Join entertainment host Brigitte Truong each week as she meets with courageous guests who have found their lane despite the odds. From business failures to mental health, sex to hate crimes, the candid discussions you hear will give you a new perspective on how freeing and empowering it can be when you own your story. Let’s make it easier to talk about tough things when it comes to womanhood because when we do, we’ll see that we’re more alike and connected than we think.

#60 Julianne Costigan | How to Turn Your Wardrobe into a Career Asset
Joining us this week is celebrated fashion stylist from right here in Toronto, Julianne Costigan, who’s the founder of COSTIGAN, a newly rebranded personal branding studio helping ambitious women define their style and lead with clarity and confidence.
Julianne’s team recently shared stats that stopped me in my tracks:
- 93% of women leaders say their appearance directly affects how others perceive their confidence.
- Nearly half have missed out on opportunities because of their image.
- 92% say that when they feel good about how they show up, they perform better.
So today, we’re diving into the power of intentional style: What does personal brand mean in 2025? How can you align your image with your inner strength?
And how do you avoid the trap of trends and actually build a wardrobe that’s real and authentic to you?
Let’s hang out!
