In this episode of Kale in My Teeth, Rivki welcomes Liz Kapran for a deep dive into self-expression, confidence, and the magic of personal style. Liz opens up about her journey from fitness-focused content creator to a full-fledged fashion powerhouse, how dropping out of university changed everything, and why she believes getting dressed is an act of self-care.

Together, they break down the philosophy behind her iconic Wake Up & Wear It mindset, why dressing up isn’t just about fashion, but about reclaiming your confidence and showing up for yourself. Liz shares the impact of her Soviet-immigrant mother’s fashion influence, the importance of breaking out of societal boxes, and how she finally gave herself permission to live authentically.

From layering tips to embracing maximalism, this episode is packed with takeaways for anyone looking to redefine their relationship with fashion and self-worth. Whether you’re looking for a creative spark, struggling with imposter syndrome, or just need permission to wear that “too nice” outfit today, Liz and Rivki have you covered.
