The Visibility Shift with Ellie Steinbrink
Welcome to The Visibility Shift, the podcast where style becomes your most powerful strategy for being seen, standing out, and leading boldly. I'm Ellie Steinbrink, stylist and personal brand coach, and if you've ever thought, "My style just isn't working anymore," take this as your sign. You're ready for your next level.
Instead of launching into a panicked shopping spree, what you really need is a strategy. A style strategy that reflects where you're headed, not who you used to be or who you think you need to be to fit in.
I'm here for the ambitious woman who's evolving. Maybe you're a founder, a speaker, a leader, or someone who's becoming more visible in your role. The opportunities are getting more exciting, the stages are getting bigger, but when you walk into your closet, you suddenly feel off, like you've outgrown it, like it represents a past version of you.
We go beyond outfits and dive into the real strategies that elevate your presence, so your outer image reflects your inner power. Style from the inside out. Self-leadership through style. What it takes to create a strategy that's unique to you without losing yourself along the way.
When your style aligns with your brand and your vision, everything shifts. You lead with more presence, you attract the right opportunities and clients, and you fully step into the woman you're becoming. Showing up as yourself is the most strategic thing you can do.
New episodes drop twice weekly. Ready to stop second-guessing and start showing up as the leader you are? Let's get visible.

How to Create a Style Strategy That Aligns with Your Personal Brand
You might have this misconception that stylists always have it figured out when deciding what to wear. But as a stylist, I’ve had plenty of panic moments, too. Recently, I attended a high-profile event: a dinner with seven- and eight-figure-earning female business owners. I started spiraling almost immediately upon signing up for it. (Oh, and we were also going to be photographed and filmed in case we wanted to use it for social media, so no added pressure)!
Thankfully, I managed to get back on track thanks to my three-pillar style strategy framework. It’s a strategy that both I and my clients use. So, if you’ve ever felt “off” when deciding what to wear at an event or like your choice didn’t reflect the real you, try this grounded approach (one you can return to again and again) to match your outward style with your inner identity.
In this episode of The Visibility Shift, you’ll learn the three pillars to creating a signature style that aligns with who you really are. I’ll discuss defining your style vision, choosing style guardrails as guidelines that empower you, and uncovering hidden beliefs that might be holding you back from showing up as your authentic self.
