Aging with Intention: More Than Just a Wardrobe Shift

 

 

Why Your Closet Might Be Holding You Back

What happens when the life you’ve carefully built suddenly no longer fits… and neither does your clothing?

That’s the question Hardie Cobbs found herself facing after a breast cancer diagnosis, a full hysterectomy, and the whirlwind of midlife changes that followed. In this episode of Late Bloomer Living, Hardie shares how that life-altering moment gave her the clarity to stop playing small—and start living with intention.

She went on to blend her lifelong love of style with her desire to serve, becoming a certified style coach and founder of A Year in Style. Now, she helps women navigate aging with more joy, confidence, and self-expression.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever:

  • Looked in the mirror and thought, “Who even is that?”

  • Felt stuck in old patterns that no longer reflect who you are

  • Wondered how to embrace aging without trying to fight it

Hardie shares practical tips for refreshing your wardrobe, letting go of the shame that often creeps in during midlife, and reconnecting with the essence of who you are now—not who you used to be.

It’s not just about what you wear—it’s about how you show up for your life.
