Here is My Story:

A question to start.

Do you ever get the feeling that you were meant for more?

You’re not alone. I’ve been there. Imagine your life-long dream coming true and within a blink of an eye, your whole world comes crashing down.

This was me.

At age 26, I was named “Fashion Designer to watch” across the south.

There I was working out of a beautiful studio in downtown Dallas, with ambitions to spread my wings as a global fashion designer. But one phone call alerting me to the repossession of my car, shattered my dream.

The truth was that I was drowning in $100K of debt. It wasn’t from student loans or business expenses, it was ALL from purchasing clothes!

I was a Fashion Addict, with over 300 shoes, hooked on the high of shopping till I dropped! What once was my source of happiness and validation had nearly destroyed me both financially and mentally.

“I loved clothing! I loved shopping! Fashion was my perfect drug.”

— Isabel Varela

I believe that….

We are all meant for more and capable of changing our life for the better.

Seven years later, I not only paid off my debt, but turned my life towards a new direction. I became a force for good as a speaker, life coach, and sustainability consultant of major fashion brands. I was even named “Changemaker of the Year” for my award-winning short documentary “Fashion Addict.”
