2020 was horrible. We all know that. But it definitely made me take a step back and look at my life and who I am as a person. In this episode, I chat about what lessons I learned from 2020, because it was a formative year for everybody.
CHECK OUT MY FRIENDS!

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, this is a *slightly taboo/awkward* episode because I recorded it with my ex-boyfriend, Jesse. We chat about what we learned from being together, recap some of our favorite dates, and give a little bit of long-distance relationship advice. It's a fun one! Grab a glass of wine (or, honestly, a shot of Titos) and hang out with me so I'm not as uncomfortable. And remember to NOT text your ex tonight ;)

IT'S PART 2 OF MY DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM ROOMMATE SERIES! Today, my bestie Kendall and I talk about our experience as film majors and how that came to be the reason we became roommates in Florida. Both of us experienced some heartbreaks while on our internship, as well as struggled with things like confidence, homesickness, and realizing that post-Disney life isn't a life that we enjoy. So grab a Disney mug and put some coffee in it because this episode is a long one, but I hope it's one that you enjoy!

*TRIGGER WARNING* This episode contains content about anxiety, depression, miscarriage, teen pregnancy, sex, and childbirth. If any of these topics are hard for you to listen to, go ahead and skip this one and I will catch you next week!
This is an episode that is so special to me. Hannah is my childhood best friend (meaning like, we met in preschool type of childhood best friend) and she was trusting enough to come on the podcast and chat with me about her experience being a teen mom. She got pregnant when she was only a sophomore in high school, and she recaps things like how she was treated by classmates, how she told her parents, and what her birthing experience was like. This conversation is raw, real, and truthful and I am so humbled she chose to share with me. She is absolutely incredible and I am in awe of her every single day. I hope you enjoy!
By now, you should know that Lizz did a Disney College Program in 2019. While she was in Florida, she was a Photopass Photographer in Magic Kingdom. She met Hannah at Photopass training and they quickly became fast friends. In this episode, they recap some of their favorite magic moments that they made and explain some backstage secrets of how Photopass operates. This hour long episode is full of fun Disney magic and giggles from the two gals. Thanks for stopping by and join The Bright Sides next Tuesday at 7am MST!

Lizz sits down to catch up with one of her best friends and sorority sisters, Abby! Abby was a political science major who was involved in all sorts of leadership groups and honors societies on campus. The two sisters chat about what their experiences were with Greek Life at the University of Montana, and how they felt identifying themselves as feminists in such a society. In addition, they give some quick pieces of advice for anyone in college who wants to see change on their campus. This is a fun episode, so grab your sister (biological or chosen) and hang out with them.

In this episode, Lizz takes the reigns with her old roommate from Florida - Sarah!

Lizz is rebranding her website and her business, so today Rosie and Lizz decide to talk about BRANDING! Establishing your brand can be daunting if you haven't thought about it before, but it's absolutely essential in creating a solid foundation for your product or service. So today the ladies talk through the choices Lizz is making in her current rebranding on her website to sell herself as the professional wedding videographer that she is while maintaining individuality. It's a hard balance to strike, but it's the goal! Rosie and Lizz also talk about some of the branding choices Rosie has made for herself as a professional musician, and both of the ladies give tips on how to create your brand if you're not sure where to start.

This week, Rosie and Lizz make Autumn Resolutions! They're similar to New Year's resolutions, but why wait until the New Year when you can assess your life and make goals any time of the year? The girls talk through their goals which include being more financially stable, growing their businesses in the fields of songwriting and wedding videography, and continuing healthy habits. But they also talk about a key step when goal setting: listing out steps it actually takes to achieve that goal and make it a reality. And, of course, we hear about some Disney news, a new music release, and a couple of "Songs of the Week"!
Let us know what your Autumn Resolutions are on Instagram! @thebrightsidespodcast
Welcome back, Bright Siders! Rosie and Lizz introduce you to some inspirational women within their respective fields of music and film, and take time to acknowledge what they have done for those fields.

Of course, you'll also hear the usual best-friend catchup about the last week, find out a few "digs" of the week, and hear some Disney news about just how successful "Mulan" was on Disney+ and a new music release (guess what? Rosie plays on it!)

Rosie and Lizz graduated from college this last spring! Meaning they are now able to give EXPERT guidance on all things college related!!! Okay maybe not *expert* advice, but they have plenty of experiences from the last four years as active, involved college students to pull from. So they gathered their best reminders and tricks to talk about in today's episode! Rosie and Lizz round things off with some new music releases about quarantine and some exciting updates to one of the tropical areas of Disney World.

The girls discuss their career aspirations and how they are approaching their first year post-grad. They finish up with some good old fashioned songs-of-the-week, Lizz shares some spooky Disney news, and Rosie shares her controversial opinion of Taylor Swift's new album release!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZ!!! Today is Lizz’s birthday, and to celebrate we’re doing another birthday episode special. Rosie prepared 22 questions (because Lizz is feeling twenty two-ooooo!) all about Disney, film, friendship, and memories to celebrate the special day. It's a fun way to celebrate such a special day!
Make sure to head on over to our instagram @thebrightsidespodcast to wish Lizz a happy happy birthday!
Today, Rosie and Lizz are finally back together on the podcast! Lizz had a big week with moving into a new apartment, so today Rosie and Lizz decided to keep it chill and found a fun list of unexpected questions to ask each other. Ranging all the way from what their dream jobs were as kids (hint: it's not what you would expect) to horoscopes to how they both feel about the idea of joining a church. The girls know you'll learn a lot about them through this episode, but what's MORE surprising is how much they learned about each other even though they've been friends for six years!! Of course there is a return to Disney News, New Music Releases, and Songs-of-the-Week to round this episode off.

Lizz was away this week, so today's episode is a solo episode with Rosie! Her main project right now is her album called "the how and the why," so today she dove into a little more about the title, the organization of the album, and some of her thoughts behind the album in general. Rosie reflects on her reasoning of why the album came to be: the time we spend learning "how" to do things in our lives, and then the harder steps (or really more like entire lifetimes) of learning "why" we do what we do it and why it matters. Confusing, deep, passionate, and relatable topics all around in this episode! Rosie was excited to get the chance to talk about her emotions by the album as it's something that's so meaningful and pivotal for her.

In today's episode, Rosie and Lizz dive into a very important topic in both of their lives: anxiety! Mental health topics like this have been more normalized in media over the last few years, and Rosie and Lizz want to continue that work by talking about their respective experiences with anxiety and how it has played a role in their lives. They both have different ways it shows up in their day to day, and different strategies for dealing with it. While no two people have the same experiences with anxiety, Rosie and Lizz hope this a helpful episode in reminding you that you're not alone in life, even with your heavier emotions.

Rosie is back on the podcast this week, fresh off of a weekend of recording for her DEBUT ALBUM!!! Both Lizz and Rosie are no strangers to undertaking personal creative projects and seeing them through start to finish. But as creatives in both the media arts (Lizz) and music/audio (Rosie) worlds, sometimes staying motivated or even just STARTING a creative project can be daunting, let alone balancing it with work for paid/hired jobs. It's a tough balance that ALL creatives have to figure out for themselves, but Rosie and Lizz discuss what keeps them inspired to continue their own creative projects. And in the even tougher times, why the keep creating even when they think they AREN'T inspired.
