Christina Elezaj is a fashion and beauty creator who made the leap from a full-time corporate job at LinkedIn to building her own platform and brand, including a capsule collection with Revolve.
In this episode, she and Rivki talk about her winding path from a biology major and medical career track to marketing at LinkedIn to full-time content creation, why persistence and work ethic have been the throughline across every job she’s held, and the reality of burnout and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into being a creator. They also discuss finding a personal style that’s authentically yours instead of chasing trends, how she uses AI as a tool but never for anything personal, and what it really means to build a loyal community instead of just growing a following.

We get into:
Why anxiously attached people are actually covert avoiders, and how the fear of abandonment causes you to unconsciously choose partners who can never give you real intimacy
What self-sabotage actually is: a younger, wounded part of you that does not want what you consciously say you want, and what it takes to talk to that part
Why understanding your patterns is not the same as healing them, and why real change has to happen in the body not just the mind
The specific reasons so many people are lonelier than ever: technology removing the need for human contact, lost social skills, and a self-first culture quietly costing us our closest relationships
Why the de-centering movement and hyper-rigid boundaries might be reinforcing the very patterns they are trying to heal
If you have ever felt like you want deep connections but cannot seem to hold on to them, this episode is for you.
