  • In-Between: Finding Your Inner Mad Scientist and Opening a Brewery with Chad & Ryan

    • by

    What happens when you take passion, creativity, community, and nerdiness and throw it all together? You get Elixir Brew Co, a new brewery opening in Buford, GA. I had the privilege to interview Chad David and Ryan Keysar, the co-founders of Elixir Brew Co,  on this week’s episode. 

    Elixir’s tagline is “Finding Your Inner Mad Scientist”. Both Ryan and Chad say they’re in the business of people. They wanted to create a space to foster creativity and to build a  community where others feel safe and have a sense of belonging. These themes are deeply rooted in everything Ryan and Chad believe in and who they are as people. 

    In this episode, we discus:

    • Where a love for board games fits into Elixir Brew Co
    • Why community is the most important thing & how it helped Chad and Ryan reach this point in their journeys
    • What inspired their idea to start a brewery
    • What goes into opening a business (yea, we’re talking about that red tape)
    • “Shower thoughts” – the best ideas sometimes come from the shower 
    • The magic that happens when you’re following your path
    • Live taste test of four of their core beers! 
    • What’s to come for Elixir Brew Co

  • In-Between: It’s My Birthdayyy & Lessons Learned

    • by

    It’s your favorite TRIPLE TAURUS’ BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! Ayeeeee! It’s also the TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of The In-Between – How!?!  I’m full of energy (and glam) on this week’s episode. 

    Here’s a quick look:

    • It’s my birthday, boo! Weekend getaway to the mountains 
    • Newly “discovered” childhood trauma aka Liz’s need to be accepted by anxiety – fun times!
    • Angry AF, an app to help men with their emotional intelligence *scratches head*
    • The new Dua Lipa album (I’m a Dua STAN)
    • Current icks: Not being able to split checks, the fact that it’s an election year, and misleading headlines. 
    • The anniversary of the podcast & what I’ve learned so far:
      • 1. Starting is the hardest part; that doesn’t mean this journey isn’t free of challenges but getting over the initial hump is/was the hardest part.
      • 2. Constantly being pushed out of my comfort zone (but finding out that’s where the magic happens)
      • 3. How to truly believe in and have confidence in ME; not seeking external validation


    We’re a little all over the place, but when are we not? You’ll be giggling and feeling empowered no matter what. 😉 

  • In-Between: A Podcaster’s Journey & Jurassic Park with Logan Lewis

    • by

    I’ve got a special guest on the podcast this week. Welcome fellow podcaster, Logan Lewis, of Your Morning Drive!

    Sometimes you let the conversation lead and see where it takes you. For me and Logan, our conversation took us on a journey through podcasting. Logan has been podcasting for a few years now as a hobby. He goes through all the different variations of his podcasting, from the different names and themes, multiple rebrandings, and how he evolved his show to Your Morning Drive and the inspiration for it.

    I love an origin story and appreciate Logan sharing his non-linear path and all the pivots that followed. This is a great episode for anyone interested in starting a podcast or personal brand, especially if they have the resistance to start. You don’t have to have it all figured out! Heck, you can change the name one, two, even six times if you want! Just start. This episode is a great reminder that you do not have to have it all figured out.

    Oh, and we’re also talking about pop culture, specifically Jurassic Park (fun fact: one of my favorite movies!).

    Hold on to your butts (JPark reference LOL) and enjoy my chat with Logan! & be on the lookout for our live podcast show – ETA 2025 😉

      • What are examples?
    •  Why suppressing or avoiding extreme or intense emotions over time can really affect your emotional,  mental, and physical health

    Long time no solo sesh! How is everyone doing?! I’m back for a solo pod this week after back-to-back special guests and it’s time to debrief! FYI – I’m HYPE today. It’s only cause I missed you so much. 

    In today’s episode we’re catching up on:

    • My Women’s Wellness Series conclusion – what did we think? What did we take away? 
      • Your girl got to record in a podcast studio and it was SO cool. I definitely learned some things, like, you should never film with your phone vertically because then 16:9 ratios don’t work. *nervous laughter*
    • The website is live! Wow – it’s only been almost a year but she’s live and beautiful! 
    • Collabs on collabs on collabs! Listen to see what I’ve got working for Autism Awareness Month. I’m recording an episode about neurodiversity.
