This week I talk with personal wardrobe stylist Elsa Isaac about how show up in our work so that we present ourselves as a reflection of who we are on the inside.
“There comes a point when that misalignment becomes too much. It just feels like you’re not showing up as who you know you are on the inside. So we do all this work, all this self-development, to heal and elevate that inner version of ourselves. But for some reason we completely negate the outer appearance.” — Elsa IsaacThis week on the Do It With Intention Podcast:

And how the experience taught her that she could do her job but in a wholly different way, ultimately inspiring women to live and work as their true selves.
