In this episode of Glow Up & Show Up, Mary Lacey Banks sits down with content creator Elizabeth Kennington for a real, honest conversation about shopping addiction, self-worth, confidence, and starting over after rock bottom.

Elizabeth opens up about the period of her life where spending and “retail therapy” became a coping mechanism, the shame that followed, and the humbling turning point that forced her to rebuild from the ground up. Together, Mary and Elizabeth talk about gratitude, personal growth, and the power of taking one small action a day to change your life.

They also dive into how fashion, thrifting, and style can become tools for confidence, why looking good isn’t shallow when you’re rebuilding your identity, and what it’s like to chase big dreams while living in a small town. This episode blends vulnerability, humor, and practical mindset shifts for any woman who feels behind, stuck, or ready for a glow up.

If you’re navigating starting over, rebuilding confidence, healing shame, or redefining your self-worth, this conversation will remind you that transformation doesn’t happen overnight — it happens through gratitude, courage, and consistent micro-steps.
