The final episode of the season is here and it is a doozy. I found myself doubling down on our mission to create sacred spaces for women to prosper on this one. 

The week leading up to the recording of this episode several in-person chats were held on the farm with women who had just overcome or were on their way to overcoming mistreatment. This cycle perpetuating is infuriating. I feel fire in my body as I listen to them bravely share their stories. 

So when I took to the recording studio to answer a lovely listeners question; “How do I know the difference between following my heart and playing the fool” my own heart took over and the Lizzy magic led to a discussion about the clear line between beautiful difficulty of manifesting your dreams, and the dangerous compromise of accepting less than you deserve. 

You'll learn to recognize when struggle is part of growth versus when it's a sign you're on the wrong path entirely. We talk about values alignment, the trap of immediate gratification, and why your safety and respect are never negotiable; not for love, not for money, not for opportunity.

It has been the greatest pleasure of my life to receive your questions on our hotline and hold space for you this season. I hope if you have something on your heart or mind you will share it with Lizzy so we can meet you with love and compassion and share wisdom that moves you forward.

What are you to do when you are swimming in an ocean of emotions but the world is asking you to get up and move forward?  

In this episode we hear from a grief-stricken sister who needs help giving herself permission to feel her loss and some love and wisdom for how to carry on through her sadness. 

Here's what nobody tells you about grief: you don't get better at it, you just get more familiar with it. Like hello, old friend, this is what it feels like when we lose something we love. In this episode, we hold space for the magnitude of loss, just allowing grief to take up some dang space because here at Love, Lizzy we know that after loss, the world moves on just a little too fast.

We explore how to honor yourself, your loved one, and the way their presence and their absence has shaped you into someone new. We talk about the wild truth that you can feel joy and despair in the same breath, why comedy can hold us when nothing else can, and how to normalize our beautiful weirdness in this magical experiment we call life.

If you're facing loss or change and it feels like the world is spinning while you're desperate for an anchor, this episode is our attempt at helping you find a little steadiness. Come for the permission to grieve fully, stay for the reminder that your capacity to love so deeply is what makes you courageously, beautifully human.

When you spend 50-75% of your waking hours working, shouldn't that time feel worthy of your one wild life?

This week on the podcast we explore the intersection of faith and fear. A listener calls in torn between exciting career opportunities that align with her vision and "practical" options that feel like settling but are seemingly more “safe”.

We dive into why a little delusion goes a long way, how to trust yourself when the stakes feel high, and what happens when you choose faith over fear—even when there's no roadmap. Whether you're considering a career change, launching something new, or wondering if you deserve to do work you actually love, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Yes, you need to handle the pragmatic stuff. But as Lizzy points out, you probably have several pro and con lists lying around. Perhaps you have the logic covered and it is time to follow that dream.

We believe you deserve to spend your time in worthy pursuit of something that lights you up, challenges you, and makes you feel alive. This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered if they should swallow their dreams for security—spoiler alert: your dreams are calling for a reason.

Time is finite. The world is vast. Your faith in yourself is the best bet you'll ever make.

Who are you to want this? If you've ever felt like something is calling to you...but you don't know if you have what it takes, this conversation is for you.

A dear listener calls in feeling like an imposter in her own scaling business; drowning in systems, wondering if she needs a month off. But underneath the overwhelm is something deeper: her questioning whether if she goes for what she wants she will lose a part of her she loves.

What emerged in our conversation might resonate with anyone who's ever felt caught between who they used to be and who they're becoming. Sometimes the very thing that feels like imposter syndrome is actually you growing into your power. When you start honoring your needs, protecting your energy and creating from your center it can feel unfamiliar. Even uncomfortable.

But maybe that discomfort isn't a sign you're being fake. Maybe it's a sign you're being more real than you've ever been. This episode is perfect for entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone building something meaningful who's ever wondered if they're pretending to be someone they're not.

We explore that tender space where growth meets fear, where becoming more yourself somehow feels like "faking it til you make it", and why stepping into your power can feel both exciting and terrifying.

We contain multitudes; moods, desires, dreams that shift and change. Yet guilt traps us in black-and-white thinking about self-care vs. caring for others.

In this episode, Teresa responds to a listener struggling with guilt around self-care and introduces the "Perspective Wheel"—a powerful tool for reframing limiting beliefs. Through personal stories about her mother Lizzy's multifaceted life, Teresa demonstrates how honoring all parts of yourself actually benefits everyone around you.

Whether you're a parent, partner, professional, or simply a human trying to navigate life's contradictions, this episode offers practical wisdom for moving beyond guilt and into empowered decision-making. You'll learn to identify your non-negotiables, embrace the "sprinkles" mentality, and discover why what's good for you truly is good for all.
Perfect for anyone who's ever felt torn between their various roles and desires, this conversation will help you give yourself permission to be fully, beautifully, authentically human.

In this first episode,  we have chosen to answer a voicemail from a woman who had the courage to call the hotline because she needed a place to leave a message.  I felt that so many of us right now can relate to feeling alone, scared, or tired, and wondering where to turn.  We talk through small ways to carry on when maybe you aren't sure how to make it through the night and the power of the courage to reach out to one person to tell them how you're feeling, even when you think you are all alone.

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!

For lightworkers, sensitive souls, and anyone seeking wisdom wrapped in love.
