How I Got the Advice I Needed — From Someone I Actually Trust

Hey friends 👋

So, I’m not usually the type to write blog posts like this, but I had such a surprisingly great experience recently that I felt like I needed to share.

It started with a dilemma. I had a big networking event coming up for my dream industry — the kind where first impressions really count. I was standing in front of my closet thinking, “What on earth do I wear that’s me, but still says ‘I know what I’m doing’?”

Naturally, I did what any of us would do — I went to Instagram for inspiration. I’d been following this influencer Emma for a while — her fashion sense is always spot-on, and her makeup tutorials are super down-to-earth. But as much as I love her content, I couldn’t exactly DM her like, “Hey can you style me personally for my awkward career moment?”

Except… with YouMentor.Me, I kind of could.

What is YouMentor.Me?

YouMentor.Me is this amazing platform where you can actually ask your favorite influencers personalized questions — and they’ll answer! Like, real, thoughtful answers. Whether it’s about what outfit to wear to an interview, how to start a content channel, which eyeshadow palette to buy, or even whether you should take a job offer — the advice is tailored to you.

It’s like getting big-sister energy from someone who’s already been there and totally gets it.

My Experience

I went to Emma’s page on YouMentor.Me and asked her my question. I included a little about the event, a photo of the two outfits I was torn between, and some vibes I wanted to give off.

The response I got? SO HELPFUL. Like, she pointed out things I hadn’t even thought about — the neckline of one dress being too harsh under fluorescent lights (?!), and how adding a bold lip could make the simpler outfit pop more. She even gave me a pep talk about owning my confidence in rooms that feel intimidating.

Not only did I walk into that event looking amazing, I felt amazing. And spoiler: I made a connection that may actually lead to something big. 👀

Why I’ll Keep Using It

Honestly? I’m hooked. The advice I got from Emma through YouMentor.Me felt way more personal than scrolling comments or googling generic fashion tips. It’s like asking your favorite creator to be your own personal advisor — and they actually say yes.

Next time I’m torn between skincare routines, deciding whether to dye my hair, or trying to figure out if I should take that leap with my side hustle… I know exactly where I’m going.

If you’re like me and sometimes just want someone who gets it to help you make a decision, check it out. It’s such a game-changer.

YouMentor.Me is that bridge between inspiration and action — and I’m so glad I found it. 💫
