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.
The Visibility Shift with Ellie Steinbrink
Your Wardrobe Feels Wrong Because You’ve Outgrown Who You Used to Be
I underwent a deeply personal evolution this year. It required me to release clothes, mindsets, expectations, and versions of myself that simply couldn’t come with me as I move into my next chapter. The transformation was, at times, painful.
When the shift you feel on the inside becomes too loud to ignore, your wardrobe is often the very first place that shift shows up. What looks like a routine closet clean-out is actually a profound moment of recognition that becoming the woman you’re meant to be requires shedding the pieces that kept you anchored to an older identity.
In this episode of The Visibility Shift, I'm revealing how doing the inner work to create that shift has influenced my style, vision, and sense of self. You’ll learn why women often seek styling help at moments of transition, why external change feels so vulnerable, and why dressing for the woman you’re becoming is one of the most liberating choices you can make.
1:00 – How a seemingly simple decluttering moment revealed a deeper internal shift waiting to be acknowledged
2:36 – Questions around identity, rest, approval, intuition, and self-trust that this pivotal year sparked for me
4:14 – How this difficult year has helped me hone in on what’s really true for me
6:55 – Why women come to stylists like me in times of transition
8:48 – Your sign to step into a new level of visibility as the woman you already are
9:40 – Encounter that shows how internal change naturally radiates outward (and catches others’ attention)
11:39 – Style as a doorway to deeper self-trust and freedom and where true style work begins
13:51 – Questions to ponder that really helped me assess all the changes I went through in 2025
15:43 – The scary, but liberating, action of taking the next step to be fully seen as your true self
