From Hiding to Healing and Celebration

Tali Katav • August 10, 2024

For the past twenty years, I've had the privilege of working with incredible men and women, connecting with thousands of beautiful souls. My love for styling was never rooted in a passion for fashion or trends. Instead, it was always about people! About igniting a new, deeper spark of beauty and self-love within them.

Over the years, I've worked with countless women. My youngest client was just 13 years old, and the oldest was 68, and I know there's more to come. As a woman, each encounter has added another layer of healing and acceptance to my sense of femininity.

Body image has been a significant focus of mine for years. How we speak to ourselves and treat our bodies when no one is watching or listening is crucial. From the moment we are born, we're bombarded with messages and expectations - messages from everyone in our lives. But today, I want to focus on the messages we've received from the women in our lives.

The first and most powerful message we receive comes from our mothers. It's not about what they tell us directly; it's in how they behave and speak to themselves. How much love, compassion, and even admiration they show towards themselves. This is one of the strongest messages each of us receives, embedded within us from the moment we, as little girls, watch our mothers gaze into the mirror.

Then, of course, there are the societal and media-driven standards that have been ingrained in us. I meet many women, especially mothers, who are on incredible journeys of healing and self-love - not just for themselves, but because they understand the responsibility and power they hold in passing these messages on to their daughters.


So, what am I really saying? What you say or do for your daughters is incredibly important. But remember, what they see is even more powerful when you think they aren't looking!

Do you wear pants at the beach to hide cellulite? Are you focused on dieting to lose weight or on eating healthily? Do you wear clothes to conceal or to celebrate self-love?


There are no magic pills here. Every day, we all take another step on the path to self-love. And the truth is, it's a lifelong journey. But let's commit to being a little more aware and a little more willing to love ourselves each day just a bit more.

Moving into a new house is exciting, but let’s face it—setting up the kitchen can feel overwhelming. Recently, I had the pleasure of helping a client organize their brand-new kitchen, turning it into a space that’s not only functional but also a joy to use.

As parents, we want the best for our teenagers—especially when it comes to creating a space where they feel calm, inspired, and empowered. Recently, I had the privilege of working with a 17-year-old girl to transform her room and closet. It was more than just tidying up; it was about redefining her space to reflect her personality and support her growth. Why isn’t this a project to tackle with Mom or Dad? Here’s the thing: our teens see their rooms as an extension of their identity, and working with a neutral, non-judgmental third party creates a safe space to explore what they truly want to keep, let go of, or display. With parents, emotions can get tangled in the process, making it harder to create a space that is truly theirs.

Leni, her wardrobe, and I are moving to a new home. It’s a monumental, thrilling, and slightly nerve-wracking event all at once.

This is a subtitle for your new postAs a seasoned events manager, I've often found myself wearing multiple hats to ensure an event's success. Three years ago, I took on the challenge of executing a major event, handling both the event management and operations management roles. This experience taught me that the devil is in the details and reinforced the importance of meticulous planning and flawless execution.

When we moved to the US 12 years ago, it was clear that I had to find a way to maintain my clients in Israel. Two months into settling into a new country, I had already built an online process for my overseas clients. Over the years, the process developed, and clients joined from Europe and across the US. As you already know, I love sharing stories about my clients, so this time, meet Susanna.

Two years ago, I visited a gallery in Soho, NYC, and saw an exhibition by Ragnar Kjartansson about guilt and fear. Kjartansson, a renowned Icelandic artist known for his performance art and video installations, explores deep emotional themes through his work. This exhibition was a profound moment that clicked, connecting these emotions with our relationship to clothes and how we dress.

I am often asked why I love organizing different spaces in my clients' homes. My most accurate answer is that I love freeing people from stagnation and weakening energies. What is the connection between organizing a kitchen or storage room and energy? It's really simple: The space we live in stores various energies, and sometimes, these energies need help being released. How do you know? Just close your eyes and sit quietly for ten minutes. Breathe and think about your home. Imagine walking through it. Some areas will bring a smile and calm, while others might evoke a sense of tightness, suffocation, or anxiety. These feelings usually indicate stagnation. If you look factually at the room or space you thought of during the meditation, it will often be messy, cluttered, and filled with things you last touched a long time ago. Meet the fantastic King family. I have been working with them for years, organizing different areas in their home. Sometimes, I return to reinforce an area I've already organized. The King family greatly appreciates beauty, aesthetics, and order. But life, being what it is, only sometimes allows them to maintain that order and organization. This time, we decided to organize their storage room. It had been on our radar for two years. It was clear that order needed to be restored there. When organizing a new space, I must involve the homeowners in sorting. It's a challenging process and requires a lot of mental and physical energy from them. There are three points in the process that I particularly love: the initial stage when we open the room door and say, "Oh my God, where do we start?"; the second point, when we finish emptying everything of the room and look at the space saying, "Wow, how will everything fit back in here?"; and the final point, when the room is ready, taking a deep breath and enjoying all the items that were stuck there, feeling the released energies and the stagnation that no longer exists, opening the door and enjoying the order, knowing where everything is. If you need help organizing, resetting, and building a system for any area of your home, you are welcome to schedule a free video call with me. Send me a private message, and we'll schedule it. Have a fantastic week 🦋
