That’s So Retrograde began the conversation when they pioneered merging wellness and pop culture back in 2015. Coined the “Ab Fab of the new age," hosts Elizabeth Kott and Stephanie Simbari highlight wellness trends before they hit the zeitgeist. Through speaking with thought leaders in health, beauty, astrology, cannabis and beyond, they offer their listeners a ‘choose your own adventure’ type experience on the path to building their own toolkit and finding the guru within.

AB FAB OF THE NEW AGE.

ELIZABETH

If That’s So Retrograde had a momager, it would be Elizabeth. A creative spirit with a passion for turning ideas into things, this Metro-Detroit native has evolved from her humble beginnings as a Public Relations intern, turned fashion person (hired by Rachel Zoe at 24 to conceptualize and launch The Zoe Report), turned entrepreneur (founder of online consignment concept, Closet Rich), to her current role as podcast creator and host.

Grounded in her Taurean nature, with an unending drive to educate the masses on all things wellness, she makes her mark spreading the hot sauce on self care with her own brand of candid relatability. In her spare time, when not exploring her way around Los Angeles and the Internet, her favorite grounding practice is a Real Housewives binge.
