Topics Covered About 3D PR Marketing:Dina introduces her full-service PR agency, specializing in beauty, wellness, hospitality, and lifestyle brands.

Episode SummaryLiz welcomes Ellie Steinbrink, a personal stylist who helps women leaders move from blending in to truly standing out by aligning style with brand and personal presence. Ellie emphasizes the importance of authenticity—on the inside and out—and shares why she pivoted from a 20+ year marketing career to follow her passion for styling and empowering women.
The conversation dives deep into how personal style transforms as women evolve in leadership roles, how to dress authentically (even when there's pressure to conform), and why self-leadership and self-trust are central to both style and business.
Key Topics Covered Ellie’s Career Journey:From 20+ years in marketing to starting her business in personal styling during the pandemic. * The Truth About “Authenticity”:How brands talk about it, but what it’s really like to embody authenticity in your look and presence. * Dressing for Yourself, Not the Room:How Ellie learned (the hard way!) not to dress only to impress others, but to align her wardrobe with her true personality and energy—even when everyone else chose to wear pink to an event, and she didn’t. * Style Transitions & Closet Clarity:Why transitions in life and career often mean your closet needs refreshing—and how shopping impulsively isn’t always the answer. * Letting Go of Style “Shoulds” and Rules:The power of questioning long-held rules about what you “should” wear, whether it’s color analysis, classic blazers, or body type limitations. * Color Analysis – Use It, Don’t Let It Rule You:What to do when your favorite color (like black or purple!) isn’t on your palette—and why it’s OK to break those rules. * Body Type and Influencers:Why strict adherence to “body type dressing” or comparing yourself to influencers can be unhelpful, and how to use that information as just one tool, not the law. * The Energetic Shift of Clothes:How wearing clothes that truly feel like “you” can impact your mood, productivity, and confidence—at home, on Zoom, or out networking. * Simple Tip for Listeners:Check in with how you feel* in your clothes, not just how you think you “should” look.

They candidly discuss the importance of human connection, the challenges of standing out in a crowded inbox, and why a personal, authentic approach still trumps automation.

- Embracing Emotional Check-ins: Learn the value of regular emotional check-ins and expanding your feelings vocabulary. Feeling and processing emotion is essential for regaining access to authentic joy.
- Joy Planning: Dr. Peggy shares her “joy plan” idea—making lists of activities that bring joy, grouped by the time they require, and planning ahead to ensure you integrate these moments into your life.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Liz Theresa welcomes Mary Ellen Lundy, the dynamic founder behind An Eco Organized Approach—a company that helps homes and businesses declutter while ensuring unwanted items find new life within the local community. Mary Ellen shares how her eco-conscious organizing service goes beyond traditional decluttering by responsibly redistributing, recycling, and repurposing items to benefit others and reduce landfill waste.
Download Episode Transcript
Key Topics Discussed The Origin Story:Mary Ellen launched her business to solve clutter challenges in her own 1,400-square-foot home with five people. Facing the stress of excess stuff, she was inspired to develop community-based solutions to recycling and donating. * Eco-Friendly Decluttering:Unlike many organizers, Mary Ellen prioritizes giving unwanted items a second home—connecting with local schools, shelters, libraries, and art teachers to maximize reuse and support those in need. The business even recycles the unrecyclable, from textiles and shoes to license plates and art supplies. * Mental Load & Women Entrepreneurs:The conversation highlights how clutter creates decision fatigue (with Liz noting women make around 36,000 decisions a day!) and how organizing support can relieve mental stress and create space for growth. * No Judgment, Only Help:Mary Ellen assures listeners that her services are for everyone—no matter the size of the mess—and that it’s always okay to seek help. She also discusses how every home and business accumulates excess, and that decluttering leads to less anxiety and more balance. * Sustainable, Personalized Solutions:From binding love letters to recycling textiles and finding new homes for LEGO sets, Mary Ellen provides creative, personalized solutions. She underscores that everything brought into a home has a lifecycle, and her mission is to extend it meaningfully. * Impact on Community:*An Eco Organized Approach not only helps individuals, but also strengthens the community by supporting underfunded programs and those in need, creating win-win scenarios for both donors and recipients.
Notable Quotes* “Change is hard, no matter what you're doing in your personal or professional business. It's OK to get help.” * “Most people want to do the right thing—they just don't have the time or resources to do it themselves.” * “Everything we create has a lifecycle, even physical things, and it’s beautiful to think about contributing to that cycle.”

Final ThoughtsIf your stuff is weighing you down, you don’t have to tackle it alone.

Episode OverviewIn this heart-filled and candid episode, Liz welcomes her dear friend Roxy Rocker, a gifted healer, advocate, and business owner. Roxy dives into her dual passions: Embracing Wellness by Roxy (focusing on restorative, medical, and nervous system-supportive therapies) and Embracing Disability, her empowerment and advocacy initiative. Together, Liz and Roxy discuss personal trauma, staying resilient, and the power of community celebration—plus, why Roxy was named the “Fairy Godmother of Boston Businesswoman.”

Key Topics & TakeawaysSurviving Trauma and Finding Purpose:Roxy recounts her severe car accident in December 2021 and how surviving and healing from trauma catalyzed her drive to become an even more empowered advocate for people with disabilities. She and Liz bond over how health crises can be transformative, with Roxy sharing how hers rewired her outlook for positivity and activism.
The Power of Community & Celebration:Roxy speaks about her role as a supportive “fairy godmother” in business communities, emphasizing the need for women (and everyone!) to celebrate both big milestones and small steps in their journeys. She urges listeners not to downplay their dreams and to find people who will root for them.
Embracing Wellness & Holistic Healing:Roxy explains her approach to wellness, preferring deep, medically informed healing work over superficial treatments. She discusses modalities like manual lymphatic drainage (and distinguishes it from more aesthetic-focused approaches), nervous system resets, and the value of somatic healing—caring for both emotional and physical well-being.
Mythbusting “Somatic Work”:Roxy defines somatic work as more than just bodywork—it’s about holding space for deep emotional releases, connection, and authentic support, going past traditional therapy models.
Disability Empowerment and Advocacy:With Embracing Disability, Roxy's focus is on accessibility awareness, education, empowerment, and social change. She discusses her mission to make society more inclusive—whether via direct advocacy, creative clothing solutions, or storytelling.
Inclusive Fashion as Advocacy:Roxy announces a new adaptive clothing initiative to foster inclusivity and dialogues around disability, using wearable items as a conversation starter and community bridge.
