My friend Silvana wore tulle skirts for 100 days straight, today she’s here to tell us how this simple but bold project transformed her life and began a movement.

I met Silvana about 6 years ago at a personal development program. From the moment I met her I was struck by her energy, joy and confidence, but Silvana has not always felt that way. As she will share in the interview before doing her work she saw herself as broken. Back then she thought she had to be fixed and she didn’t want to be herself anymore.

Today she’s a woman that loves herself deeply, she knows who she is and what she stands for. She is now the leader of the tulle tribe, a movement for women to reclaim and find strength in their femininity. She’s also the CEO of The Tulle Project a retail clothing company featuring tulle skirts.

As I was editing this interview I was taking note of the many nuggets of wisdom she shared and I recommend you do the same.

There were three lessons I think are worth highlighting:

1. By getting to know who we are, we increase our self-love and our confidence. That the way to be successful in life is to do the work inside.
2. When I give myself permission to be, say and wear whatever I want, I give other women permission to do the same. I don’t have to get small to fit in and be liked, on the contrary by being myself I get to meet my tribe.
3. I don’t have to do it alone. Cultivating friendships with other women is fundamental. We need friends that will celebrate our wins, stand in the fire with us when things get challenging and lift us up when we are down.
