Ep 207: Beauty from the Inside Out with ...

Dr. Nicole C. Rankins
About this episode

Society has always been so judgmental of what mothers “should” wear during pregnancy. But celebrities like Rihanna and Beyoncé are showing off their baby bellies and still looking sexy, proving maternity doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style.

Personal stylist Anetra Byrd is here for a fun episode about what to wear while your body goes through changes. If you saw the pictures from my women’s empowerment talk with Tracee Ellis Ross, you know how talented Anetra is. She styled me for that event and made me feel confident and true to myself. You deserve to look good during pregnancy, whatever that might look like to you, and Anetra has a lot of great advice on how to be chic and stay comfortable.


In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

  • What a personal stylist does
  • How Anetra helps clients express themselves authentically
  • Why you need support from both your bra and your loved ones 
  • What some key pieces are that look cute and aren’t restrictive
  • Why you might consider a stylist for a maternity shoot
  • Why you may need several sets of clothes throughout your pregnancy and after baby’s arrival
  • What a capsule wardrobe is and how it could help simplify your life postpartum
