Elizabeth’s queued up all the vintage holiday specials for a necessary nostalgia trip and found that there were more than a few things in those precious Rankin Bass stories that raised a few questions.

Elizabeth needed to take a moment and process all the wisdom and inspiration her guests shared the last two episodes. So, today, we’re doing a little debrief in the car, like after you go see a speaker or performer and you spend the drive home talking it over with the people you shared it with. Monica from Soulful Fit Club (Episode 73) and Jade of Maven & Muse Media (Episode 74) brought it – we kn...

Elizabeth’s got a fantastic guest this week – it’s Jade from Maven & Muse Media.

Such a great, inspiring conversation ranging from awkward celebrity...

What was the first thing Elizabeth did when her nest emptied? Packed her bags and headed to Canada. No kidding. It was just a vacation though, not a relocation.

It’s all been building to this, from the moment Elizabeth’s kids were born, it all leads to the fabled empty nest. And here she finds herself, at least for the moment, no kids at home and retired from the active parenting job that’s consumed so much energy and headspace for the last 20+ years. Time to raise that parenting jersey to the rafters. Radiant Badass Chris Martin, Creativity Coach   Radia...

It’s always fun to take a little run through those zero risk parasocial relationships, isn’t it? A little palate cleanser for our overwhelmed brains.
