Erin Walsh on Styling Anne Hathaway, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and the Real-Life Andy Sachs Arc

What if the way you get dressed every day is shaping more than your appearance? In this episode of Question Everything, Danielle speaks with celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, known for shaping the iconic looks of Anne Hathaway, to explore the deeper psychology of style, identity, and intentional living.
