We are on the eve of the Love, Lizzy podcast release and it is hard to explain what is going on in my heart as I wait to see how you receive this collaborative work of art.

In anticipation of the release,I felt compelled to write my own love letter to all of you to attempt to share the layers of context of who Love, Lizzy is and what she is here to do. Then with excitement, I recorded it as a long-form bonus episode for you today before we officially launch our first episode tomorrow!

I am much more a poet than anything else and brevity is not my style—but still I hope my story moves you and inspires you to stick around, tune in for the podcast, or come see us on the farm.

This all really began seventeen years ago when my sisters and I stood grief stricken in front of microphones as we sang Martina McBride to our loved ones and said goodbye to our mother, Lizzy. Because of that, June typically reminds me of sad things, but just the other day my mom came to me and asked me to find joy in her non physical presence.

The best way I can think to honor her request is to share this dream and the beautiful and difficult moments that led to the creation of Love, Lizzy with all of you.

Thanks for tuning in!
