Sent to Oprah:
As a firm believer of energy profiling and Dressing Your Truth, I was horrified to discover in your most recent issue of O magazine that advice had been given to women who did not feel that they “met the bar” to think of the ugliest thing they could think of and then they wouldn’t feel so poorly about themselves. What kind of advice is that? What happened to the “uplifting, positive-thinking, everyone is beautiful message” from Oprah? This issue should be pulled from the shelves with a statement like that. Literally. It is appalling. Give some real, helpful advice from Carol Tuttle and learn about her Dressing Your Truth program. Your readers, viewers, and fans will thank you because it will change their lives.

It sounds like Valerie Monroe is in desperate need of a Carol Tuttle DYT makeover! She needs to see for herself what is possible.
January 20th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
You go MOM!!! I honestly still can’t believe that “advice!” More like a dead-end solution.
I agree with Krsitine – there should be a recall on all January’s O Magazines. Pathetic.
I thought it was so classic when Tanner and I bought that magazine – read the tips and had to read it over and over again to make sure those words were really on the page. Then of course we rushed it over to your house. I am so grateful we have real beauty advice to share with the women of the world.

Recently I’ve been interested in the Dressing Your Truth information and have purchased the book and online assessment. I haven’t visited the Carol Blog recently, but came over to this post through a friend’s link on Facebook. Honestly, I feel defeated and I despair when I hear DYT advice. Before finding DYT, I recognized that I didn’t follow standard fashion/beauty advice, but I still felt that I was beautiful. Since finding DYT, I feel like I’m not good enough and that I have to fit into a very narrowly defined range based on what Carol thinks looks good. Obviously this is not the goal of DYT; what went wrong?
January 21st, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Dear Katie, Without knowing how far you are in the Dressing Your Truth experience it is hard to know how to help you. Dressing Your Truth is an emotional journey for most women. If you have not gone through the program it would be hard for you to understand how “freeing” learning to Dress Your Truth is. Even though it may look like a narrow range based on 4 Types, the world within each of those Types is very expansive.
Dressing Your Truth is a system that first honors your inner beauty. That is one of the biggest benefits to learning it. You know who you are on the inside and naturally feel good in what looks best on you on the outside. If you are having some emotions stirred by what you are hearing, that is perfect, you want to dredge up any long repressed feelings of not pretty enough, not thin enough, not good enough that most likely settled in when you were a young teen. Take the next step and learn to Dress Your Truth for your Type and experience for yourself how freeing it is. If it is not right for you we offer a great money back guarantee so there is no risk! Thanks for sharing your feelings. Love, Carol
PS – Possibly what is coming up for you is the feeling of “I felt good about what I was doing with my beauty! What if what I am doing isn’t right for my Type and what Carol teaches? Maybe I am doing it all wrong and I don’t feel so beautiful anymore, now I am feeling insecure, so I don’t want to know!!!”

Congratulations on recognizing that the feelings you are having about not being good enough is definitely not the goal of DYT! In fact, I believe it to be completely the opposite. *Ü*
You don’t mention whether or not you have established which type is your dominant type and whether or not you are dressing your truth. I like to remind my Type 2 daughter that DYT is fun and not a swear all, be all, do all requirement. If she wants to wear black, then by all means she should. She just needs to know how it affects her and her appearance. That’s all. I also explain that by wearing your inner truth you are more comfortable being you on the outside because your appearance is sending a message that you know who you are i.e. you aren’t dressing different than your natural personality so they aren’t clashing and you are more confidant in being yourself; you aren’t trying to be a different personality.
When my family challenges the program “not everyone can be one of these 4 types because everyone is so different”, I say, “Right! There are type 1’s with a strong 2, 3, or 4 secondary type. There are type 1’s with secondary type 2, 3, 4 being fairly equal. Do that with all 4 types at all 4 levels and you have quite a diverse group of people. ”
My family tease me and say things like, “We are glad you are having fun with it.” I am, and so are they. They just don’t want to admit it!
Sorry this got so long. I want to encourage you to simply enjoy and embrace the dominant type you are. There is absolutely no reason you shouldn’t still feel BEAUTIFUL because YOU ARE!

Combining engergy profiling with dressing your truth is the ultimate answer to meddling your inner beauty and outer beauty to present your best self to the world and to re-discover the person you always knew you could be…the fun is in the becoming !
At first I felt as if I was being boxed in to certain colors and styles but as I seriously took a look at how I had dressed over the years I realized that Innately I had always been drawn to my type 2ness…once I accepted being a type 2 and honoring it in my behavior as well as how I dressed complimenting it with the correct colors for my makeup,jewelry etc…I began to feel preety once again. It is not always easy to change when one is 61…but this change is worth the time and effort for me my husband, my daughters and my grandchildren.
I still have many challenges (like to call them lessons that need to be learned) but over all taking both courses on line has been one of the best decisions of my life.

I will admit I too felt despair after reading It’s Just My Nature and completing the online assessment. My was a little different. I stressed over which type I was, am I being true to myself, how to I reach my full potential and so forth. I decided to “test” what I was reading and put my Type 1 nature into practice. I was AMAZED at the difference in my life. I felt happier and more at peace. I felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. I finally found a “personality theory” that gave me permission to be ME… not the me I created overtime based on criticism and adult feedback, but the ME I was as a child–animated, bubbly, fun. When my “test” came back with super results I began looking to DYT for the full solution.
Despair once again befriended me (or maybe I should say latched on to my soul and sucked the happiness right out of me). From the little I could see from the few clips online and from the few monthly DYT nights I watched, I felt that Type 1s had limited options for dressing their truth. I was suffocating myself and my wardrobe based on what I thought was right. Becoming frustrated, I decided to put the online course to the test. You know what I discovered? I was WRONG! Type 1s had a million different options. Things I assumed were off limits (like v-neck shirts or certain colors) were actually perfect for my type! I was amazed how understanding the FULL course changed my perspective once again.
Maybe DYT isn’t for everyone (although that thought makes me sad because it’s been a godsend for my life), but I can say that when you understand the FULL principles of energy profiling and DYT, your options become almost limitless. Was I sad I wouldn’t be able to wear black anymore (my fav color before)? Absolutely! But now, dressing in colors that enhance my natural energy, I receive several comments daily on how great I look. Friends, family and even strangers are saying, “Wow! You look radiant!” Radiant! I look natural and I feel awesome! I love myself… as-is. Or, at least I’m getting better at it. I’m still on the journey.
Anyway, sorry for the long comment. I’m just so grateful for a system that teaches that each woman is unique and beautiful, and that as we live true to ourselves we’ll find a greater fulfillment than via anything the fashion world can offer.
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I’m particularly shocked by Valerie’s advice…
Imagining somebody horrible so that you can say “Well, after all I’m not so bad…”
That’s disgusting… not only for beauty…
In general, whatever the topic is, imagining those who are/feel worse than you so you feel better is horrible, according to me!
Hugs,
Ale

I love this program. Bless you Carol. I pray with all my heart you receive everything you desire. You are doing great and profound things. This has blessed my life tremendously. We love you.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Thank you so much Vanessa. God Bless you also!

What a pity that women feel so bad about them selves that they take advice from womens fashion magazines. Then they still feel bad about them selves. You are terrific Carol – you need to get onto Opra.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:11 am
You go girl!!! You are so right and Oprah should know better!
January 25th, 2010 at 9:15 am
Rudyard Kipling said it best in his poem “If”, “If all men count with you, but none too much;”
Oprah is a fantastic person who has done so much good in this world that she does deserve our admiration. Should we listen to her and blindly follow her advise? NO!! Think for yourself. Does it work for you?
January 25th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
I love it when people get mad at bad advice! Thank you for being so bold. One of my personal rules is not to have ANY magazines at all that are not uplifting. Most magazines are filled with lies and stupid things that I don’t want to focus on. I haven’t had one for about 15 years. Not even Oprah’s magazine (and I do love Oprah). As a teenager, my friends and I read fashion magazines as if they were our “Bible” for life. It was incredibly dis-empowering and depressing. I also stay away from most TV. There is so much uplifting and empowering stuff out there that you just don’t need the garbage. I am a personal trainer and one thing I make sure I tell my clients is to dump the magazines. Just dump ‘em! We aren’t trying to be someone else! We want to be ourselves- our best selves! Thanks Carol for helping us do this!
January 25th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Wow! Would Oprah follow this advice? This type of advice is akin to telling a person who experiences chronic migraine headaches to imagine a person without limbs & then “see” themselves as being better off. The author of this article in “O” demonstrates a lack of knowledge about modern mind psychology as well as the nature of energy: 1) the subconscious mind does not process a negative, i.e. if you tell someone NOT to think of a blue tree, the person WILL think of a blue tree; 2) Energy flows where attention goes, so if a person thinks of something gross & ugly, they will attract an energy that resonates with this thought.
More importantly, this article in the “O” magazine is encouraging women to play the “I am better than you are” ego game. By imagining a horrid creature & then positioning the self as “better than”, we are being told that “beauty” is a competition, a prize to be won or a position to be vied for. This shifts the focus away from our internal selves, i.e. knowing our own inner truth, as competitions rely on judges. When we rely on external judges to validate our “beauty”, then we are giving away our power.
I find that Carol’s DYT system provides the tools for any woman to honor her inner beauty. This system is great as it provides guidelines, not absolutes, for what works for your energy type. As Carol says, each one of us must find our own expression & style. That style needs to serve ME and be an expression of ME, rather than the fashion industry (or even Carol Tuttle!)
Bless you & thank you Carol for your work!
January 25th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Thanks Carolyn, I love how you expressed how we need to each find our own personal style and how Dressing Your Truth gives us guidelines, not absolutes. Well said, I think I am going to include it, with your name of course in my new book. Perfect timing!
January 26th, 2010 at 10:51 am
Hi Carol,
I was listening to your radio show on Monday night when you were receiving inappropriate comments in the chat room and on the phone. I admire the way you were able to keep talking while dealing with the interruption. You also asked the question, multiple times, “what am I doing to create this?” I have a suggestion, from my type 2 point of view, and I hope you will hear me out.
I felt that your video about Oprah’s magazine was harsh. There was personal criticism of Oprah and the two women who were quoted in the article. I think it was this video that brought on the odd events during the radio show.
I can understand that you don’t agree with the advice in the article, but it could have been stated in a more positive way. For example, the type 1 woman who said she ignores what the fashion industry says and had developed her own fun style has a couple valid points. Maybe a more appropriate comment would have been to say that your DYT program helps women do just that, plus a whole lot more, along with a couple suggestions about how the DYT elements would better bring out the woman’s beauty. As for the woman who said to imagine certain unappealing features, I don’t think anyone would take that advice seriously. It really wasn’t worth your reaction unless you pointed out that even what fashion magazines consider an undesirable feature can be beautiful if we dress our truth.
Sometimes a visceral reaction like in your video needs to be run past someone else before it sees the light of day. My husband discovered this truth many years ago in our 29-year marriage, long before energy profiling explained why it was such an effective strategy. You are surrounded with family who are there to help you so you don’t attract people like on Monday night. Don’t forget to use their gifts.
Thank you for hearing me out. I hope it came across in the same gentle way in which I intend to offer it.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Dear Carol, First off I am grateful that you care enough to make a comment. Thank you. I can see how as a Type 2 you would perceive my comments as harsh and in your Type 2 world would seem inappropriate. As a Type 2 of course you think I should be appropriate according to what you deem as appropriate. How I operate is I speak what is on my mind in a manner that is true for me. Of all the 4 Types, I only hear from Type 2′s who think they need to coach me on how to be more appropriate, all the other Types thank me for being direct, bold, and emotionally honest.
My nature is to be fiery, direct, bold, even aggressive at times, that is what is appropriate for me. My goal is to go on National TV so I can reach more women and if I subdue myself to be Type 2 appropriate, I am going to be one boring lady to watch – because that is not my true self!
You might be interested in knowing that my son Chris, Type 2, and my daughter Anne, Type 2, and my husband Jon Type 2, all told me they thought that was one of the most emotionally honest blogs I had created yet. And, I even asked my husband how I might respond to you so that you would understand how different Type 3′s are from Type 2′s. I have tried my hardest to be “appropriate” in this reply. As far as your theory of why I attracted the interference on my radio show, I have a different opinion of that, but choose not to share it. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Wow. Oprah really doesn’t get it on so many levels. A woman tried to ‘Live Oprah’ for a year and it drove her crazy. She wrote a book about it and was on Bonnie Hunt last week.
Carol, I totally agree with what you blogged and onward and upward, Girl!
Thanks for doing this program and interesting, I’m being attacked by die-hard, ‘macho’ (a legend in their own mind types) men since DYT’g. They really cannot stand true femininity as it totally threatens them and their world.
Keep up the good work!
January 28th, 2010 at 11:16 am
Carol-
Wow, I appreciate you bringing this up. I have stopped reading magazine beauty advice, because I always end up feeling depressed or looking really strange! I have been following your DYT blogs for a while now, and look forward to the day when I begin my own DYT learning. I have always had trouble with online courses- I’m kind of an in-person hands-on personality, and I am hoping to come out and do a session at your center. Unless you’re planning a road trip anytime soon…hint, hint, hopeful smile!
Wow, that was a lot of tangent and excuse. What I’m trying to say is, I really appreciate that your advice is real. You try to help each of us be the best “me” there is, rather than a fashion clone. Thank you for what you are doing!
January 28th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Hi Carol. I found you somehow through an EFT website recently and like what you have to say. Particularly when you said you are ‘pissed off’!
I guess Oprah has many, many viewers, and that is why so many people are excited when someone says, “It was on Oprah..” It seems so many in the energy healing fields talk this way, too. I do not watch the show because even if someone has millions of viewers and dollars, what matters to God, I believe,is to have a healthy and happy marriage, raise children to be pure and honest, these kinds of issues. So I would never see her as a role model. While I just found out about you last week, I already like the fact that you have a husband and was it 5 children? and you found something you love to do. To me, that makes more of an impact because you already raised a family and now are doing this with your life. I look forward to finding out what my type is and am glad I found you.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:03 pm
I tried to find the issue of Oprah where these articles appeared, so as to read them for myself, but it seems to be off the newssstands by now. I want to say first that these particular two viewpoints appear to be aimed more at stirring up controversy than offering real beauty advice. The woman with the ‘offbeat’ style does have a valid point – i.e. ignore other people’s advice and please yourself – although the other one seems just downright depressing. I don’t think this is really typical of the fashion advice in Oprah (the magazine), maybe just offered up as an alternative point of view and to be taken with a grain of salt.
However, given Oprah’s influence, I believe Carol too makes a valid point, particularly as she does have something to offer that is so much more realistic and beneficial for so many women (and men). Carol, I think your point was well made, and I hope Oprah sits up and takes notice
February 10th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Wow, Carol. You are so right. I can’t believe what was written in Oprah! I try to not read that stuff because it usually makes me feel inadequate and angry.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:46 am
God Bless you Carol!
You are like the Dr. Phil of the fashion industry because you tell it like it is and you call a spade a spade. And, you know what you are talking about.
Have you heard form Oprah yet?
June 21st, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Carol,
I am glad you are who you are because there are some people that just need to say it like it is and there are those who enjoy hearing it even if it is taken as harsh by others! I know I would rather have someone be blunt and to the point with me than pussy footing around the issue! For me, your way of handling it showed me that you are very passionate about what you do and to me it shows just how much you care about what women are being taught about what to think of themselves! We have been trying to live up to standards that we cant for too many years and it is high time we take back our power and right to beautiful as the women God created us to be! Dressing Your Truth allows for everyone to realize who they are as individuals and how to look beautiful with what we have and Im very grateful I found your site and have gone through the course! I just started going through it a couple weeks ago but it has been an amazing journey to get back to the real me and I have had so many compliments since I have been true to who I am! It is sooo worth it and I want every woman and young lady to be able to learn this! Thank you Carol from the bottom of my heart!
