Episode 5: Intentionally Creating Your Future Self Through Style with Becca Piastrelli

Get Styled

In today’s episode, Elsa welcomes client Becca Piastrelli to the show! Elsa and Becca talk about everything from the striking clarity that Becca has in her personal style (and how it happened), and the ever-looming temptation to copy others’ style (and lose yourself in the process), to how elevating Becca’s style to meet where she was going in life has brought her joy and success in dividends.

Becca Piastrelli is the author of Root & Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect with Land, Lineage, Community & the Self, and is the host of the Belonging podcast. She teaches and speaks on the nature of belonging and what it means to be alive in the Age of Loneliness and holds retreats to help women reconnect with their rooted sense of self. She currently lives in the Hudson Valley of New York with her family where she gardens, cooks, mothers, and gathers with the ebb and flow of the seasons.
