The Nostalgia Persona Release Workbook
The Nostalgia Persona Release Workbook helps you identify what you were actually longing for and find it in the present, in clothes that belong to who you are right now.
he Nostalgia Persona is one of the five phases of the Identity Drift Cycle. It's when you keep returning to a style era from your past — not because you want to live there, but because that's where you felt most like yourself.
The clothes are just the container. What you've been trying to get back is the feeling, the confidence, the freedom, the clarity and the sense of being known. You've been trying to find it in a wardrobe that belongs to a decade that no longer exists.
This workbook separates the feeling from the era. And then we find the feeling again in the life you're actually living.
