How I Used AI + ChatGPT as My Personal Stylist & Closet Consultant

Send us your feedback about the episode!

Okay… I think I accidentally unlocked the future of shopping and getting dressed as a busy mom and business owner.

In this episode, I’m sharing something that completely changed the way I shop, get dressed, and think about my wardrobe… I used AI (yes, ChatGPT) as my personal stylist.

As a busy mom and business owner, getting dressed had started to feel overwhelming. I had a closet full of clothes but still felt like I had nothing to wear. So instead of continuing to shop randomly, I tried something different.

I started snapping photos of pieces while I was shopping and uploading them into ChatGPT in real time. From there, it helped me figure out my body type, what silhouettes actually flatter me, what colours work best for my skin tone, and how to build a cohesive capsule wardrobe instead of buying random items.

It helped me:

create full outfits from pieces I already own
identify gaps in my wardrobe
avoid impulse purchases
define my personal style
and actually make getting dressed FUN again

This episode isn’t just about clothes — it’s about simplifying your life, reducing decision fatigue, and feeling like yourself again after a season of change.

If you’ve ever stood in your closet feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your style… this one is for you.

Send us your feedback about the episode!

In this episode of Beauty Behind the Brand, Nicole reflects on how far she’s come — both personally and professionally — inspired by the “look how far you’ve come” trend circulating on Instagram.

After 10 years in business, Nicole shares a behind-the-scenes look at refreshing and evolving her spa without overspending. From updating ceiling tiles and fresh paint to simplifying furniture and bringing back a more intentional, pre-COVID layout, this episode is all about creating impact through smart, strategic changes — not massive renovations.

She also dives into how she used feedback from past Google Forms (from both clients and staff) to guide these decisions, ensuring every update aligns with what people truly want and value.

This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t always mean starting over — sometimes it means refining, simplifying, and honoring how far you’ve already come.

If you’re a beauty business owner thinking about a refresh, rebrand, or reset, this conversation will leave you inspired to make meaningful changes with confidence — and without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re building a beauty business from the ground up, preparing for a rebrand, or simply looking to improve what you already have, this episode will show you how structured feedback can create clarity, confidence, and smarter business decisions.

In this exciting episode, Nicole Manion sits down with the visionary founders of Epic Dental to uncover the inspiring journey behind their groundbreaking company. Founded in 2003, Epic Dental emerged from a bold belief that conventional oral care was failing us.

This revelation led to the creation of their first batch of gum in 2003, marking the beginning of a revolutionary approach to oral care.

Send us your feedback about the episode!

With heart eyes for social media, design, and strategy, I started Howdy Studio with services like social media management, & brand/web design.
During my time as a Journalism and Communications student, I began learning the ins and outs of content creation, marketing and entrepreneurship. Throughout my undergraduate degree & internships I gained experience in brand strategy, design, and social media.
Post-grad, I worked full time in marketing roles where I quickly discovered the many hats you wear in the industry. From social media management, strategy, content creation, brand & web design, you name it — I was doing it all. Through these roles, I gained a deep understanding for all things social media, branding & design.
A year ago (spring 2023) I quit my marketing agency job to pursue my own business where I married my passions in the digital space. I spent the first 6 months building my portfolio and officially launched Howdy Studio at the end of 2023. Now, I work with clients from all types of industries & all over the world using my creativity, skill & expertise.

Nicole Manion, The Beauty Behind: Running a Beauty Business in 2023

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 08:00:00 -0400

Send us your feedback about the episode!

Nicole was born and raised in Bracebridge, Ontario where she owns two successful businesses to this day.
Growing up, Nicole was a very driven, athletic individual that did not let any barriers stand in her way. One of those barriers being Dyslexia which deterred her from attending college/university right out of high school. Instead, Nicole took part in many pageants including Miss Universe Canada. It was through pageantry that Nicole realized she could turn that same passion and drive that she had within her to help others.

The beauty industry soon became her main focus.
Nicole attended Rinaldi College Of Aesthetics in Barrie, Ontario where she graduated in November of 2013. Soon after, began Nicole’s biggest leap of faith when she opened her very own spa named Muskoka Aesthetics in 2015. Nicole being the entrepreneur she is, saw a hole in the market for affordable, high quality, Canadian lash extension brands and alas, Muskoka Aesthetics sister company - Miskoka Beauty was born in 2019!

Keep an eye out for Nicole’s enthusiasm, goofy side and/or business-related advice on our social media platforms!

Mintier is a first of its kind product solving a universal problem, bad breath.

When they learned that sugar is the main ingredient in traditional breath mints they questioned what that does to your oral health.

It turns out sugar feeds the oral bacteria in your mouth, making your breath worse and at an accelerated rate.

Mintier created a 100% natural alternative that is the world’s first oil-based breath mint. With 120 servings per bottle, and each serving giving you long-lasting fresh breath, this is the type of breath mint you can feel confident in.

Dr. Kersti Kents, The Beauty Behind: Medical Aesthetics of Muskoka

Tue, 10 Aug 2021 05:00:00 -0400

Send us your feedback about the episode!

Dr. Kersti Kents moved to Muskoka in 2006 and began working full-time in the emergency department. A chance meeting in the ER, in 2009, resulted in a new addition to her career path – aesthetic medicine. After several years of training, Medical Aesthetics of Muskoka was established in 2013.

In 2017, Dr. Kents recognized a dire need for dermatologic medical support in Muskoka. She decided to pursue a postgraduate diploma in practical dermatology, and changed her scope of practice to include Skin Disorders. With 2 daughters under the age of 8, working full-time in the ER, twice a week at her aesthetics practice, bi-weekly at a medical spa in Barrie, as well as travelling out-of-region for multiple weeks to complete her dermatology supervision, it was no easy task. But the ability to grind through adversity and tough challenges is part of what makes an entrepreneur successful. With the support of her husband, family, colleagues and close friends, she was able to persevere and achieve her goals.

Having retired from Emergency Medicine in December 2020, Medical Aesthetics of Muskoka now operates 5 days a week, providing dermatologic care as well as aesthetic medicine treatments. Fostering a business culture that promotes open communication, Kersti attributes much of the clinic’s success to her team of hard-working, supportive and committed staff members. The future of aesthetic medicine and dermatologic care in Muskoka resides at Medical Aesthetics of Muskoka; Kersti and her team look forward to helping the community with their skin care needs.

Like so many others, cancer is something we are all forced to live with, whether it’s in your own body, our siblings, friends, or parents, it’s bound to be close to your heart living in our western world. Jordan graduated with an honours degree in Earth Science and Biology from the University of Guelph and has always seen his surroundings with a lens of curiosity and endless possibilities. The emotional turmoil surrounding the early loss of his eldest sister, Rachel and his brother Aaron’s battle with liver cancer throughout his twenties lead to emotional constriction and a temporary void of his internal intuition. Jordan’s ability to dig deeper into his self understand after his own diagnosis with testicular cancer at 22 has been his guide along a journey to the bridge of his own suffering and the generation of light and presence. Jordan sees everyday as an opportunity to pursue a life full of deep vitality and passion for helping people move consciously toward a life free of restrictions and clouded thought.

The detrimental effects of an industrialized age can be seen around the world; in our soil, water, and air, and these simple truths have lead Jordan to direct his energy toward sharing knowledge in an effort to elevate our global community. Our power lies in the combination of modern medicines and technologies with nature’s natural healing power and our understanding of the masculine - feminine, light and dark, yin and yang toward the balance in our own life and in nature

Originally operating under the name Bébé de Luxe, a brand created by Amanda when her son was a baby, the two friends came together in the Spring of 2017 to discuss a partnership. It seemed a natural fit, since Shylah’s mom, Sue, had been an integral part of the BdL team for well over a year, managing all production and packaging while Amanda handled all other aspects.
