Bombshell Beauty Rituals: Recent Episodes
Liz Steffen
The Bombshell Beauty Rituals Podcast is a show about feeling and looking your best. After 20 years of professional experience in the beauty and wellness industry, I, Liz Steffen, will be sharing industry secrets and the science of beauty and being the best version of yourself
In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful shift that’s changed how I approach growth: falling in love with the process—not just the outcome.
So often we wait for the big milestone to feel proud or fulfilled, but what if the joy is actually in the small steps, the quiet wins, and the daily pursuit itself?
I’ll walk you through how I’ve learned to find meaning in the middle and why the “doing” matters just as much as the “getting there.”
If you’ve been feeling stuck or impatient, this one’s for you.
What does it really take to stand out on LinkedIn—and in every room you walk into? In this episode, I sit down with Matt Nelson to talk about building genuine connections, making sales without being pushy, and why being the best-dressed person in the room might be your most underrated networking tool. From cold messages to comment strategy, Matt shares smart, actionable tips that challenge the way we think about professional relationships.
Most people think of discipline as pressure or punishment—but what if it’s actually an act of love?
In this episode, we reframe discipline as a daily devotion to your dreams, your future self, and the life you’re building. From personal growth to business routines, I explore how showing up consistently is one of the most powerful ways to say, “I’m worth it.”
Whether you’re building a brand, breaking old habits, or trying to get unstuck—this episode will remind you: You don’t need motivation. You need discipline.
Most beauty pros rush through the consultation—but what if it’s actually the key to making more money? In this episode, I’ll show you how to turn a quick conversation into long-term client loyalty, higher rebooking rates, and effortless upsells. Whether you're a solo waxer or building a team, this is the strategy that turns first-time visits into profitable relationships.
In this episode, we explore the powerful emotion of desire — not as something negative or selfish, but as a driving force for growth and transformation. Join us as we discuss how to embrace your desires, overcome self-doubt, and push past the fear of failure. From creating daily rituals to reframing your mindset, this episode is filled with actionable steps to help you manifest your dreams. Whether you're working on personal growth or expanding your business, learn how desire, when paired with self-belief, can make you unstoppable. Listen in, and discover how to turn your deepest desires into reality.
In Bombshell Podcast Episode 35, we dive into real, unfiltered conversations about beauty routines like waxing and skincare—from hilarious waxing horror stories to practical tips for glowing skin. They explore how personal grooming routines aren’t just for appearances but play a huge role in self-confidence, empowerment, and self-expression. It’s part beauty talk, part life pep talk—with laughs and wisdom in equal measure.
