  • It’s All For The Plot

    • by

    Let’s catch up on what the last month has entailed! Taurus season was good to me – from celebrating my birthday in New York, being surrounded by some of the best people in the world, and reflecting on the THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of The In-Between – there’s a lot to yap about and get deep. This episode covers what’s been going on in my life, the next big major plot twist in the Movie of Liz, and a few hilarious life choices I’ve made recently, ahem, Invisalign *face palm*.  

    Nothing in my life is the same as it was a year ago. Liz a few years ago wouldn’t be able to handle that… but Liz now? She’s thriving. If there’s anyone I’d bet on it’s me because if you can’t bet on yourself, who will? And I hope you can find that self belief here at The In-Between too. Now, let’s chat!

  • Sometimes It’s The Hope That Carries You Through

    • by

    Good things come to those that wait, and we’re is BACK with an episode that will leave you giggling and loving yourself a little bit more. This is one of first episodes in a while where I felt like myself again. 

    From Goodwill dopamine rushes, the house finally coming together, teases about me and Ashleighanna’s Norway episode (and our next European vacay), and the most hilarious single girl hijinks video to date, there is quite a lot to giggle over. 

    We also get into my favorite past time, musings on living as your authentic self, embracing your vulnerability, and why hope is the most powerful thing you can hold on to at times. 

    This episode made me smile – I feel like myself again, but this time better, more capable, more sure, more me. I hope (see what I did there) you enjoy it as much as I did. 

  • We’re So Back, Magic Included

    • by

    Hey hey hey! I’m back feeling more like myself than I have in months. What a fabulous feeling! 

    This week, I’m hoping to make you giggle about my life as a cartoon character, and also empower you that no matter how tough the journey gets, you will make it out.  It’s been a difficult past few months and my journey towards healing continues to remind me of the magic of what it means to truly live. 

    Recorded on the spring equinox, I discuss the significance of new beginnings, the importance of community, and the sheer wonder of that we get to exist at all. 

    I share a little bit about my Norway trip, but I’m saving that for a full recap episode – all I will say is I got the biggest sign I’m on the right path. What great reassurance can you ask for? I’m also talking about my amusing challenges as a single, independence-driven woman. Ahem, I almost didn’t make it hanging a curtain rod. HA! 

    This week’s episode is all about the importance of choosing oneself, seeking joy in the small and big moments, and always betting on yourself. I mean, what better person than yourself?

  • The Update You’ve Been Waiting For

    • by

    I’m BACK! And I’m here to talk about what’s been going on and share some major updates from my life. 

    First off, I leave for Norway this week, and I share some of the challenges with last-minute flight changes. *She’s anxious girly LOL* 

    I also open up about my divorce, emphasizing the journey of self-love and choosing personal happiness. This Norway trip marks a significant chapter in my healing and self-discovery process. Life is magical.

     Join me as I share my experiences and insights on resilience, community, and the courage to forge a new path forward. Community is key when navigating a tough in-between. I’m happy you’re here for mine. 

  • In-Between: Winter Wonderlands

    • by

    It’s snowing in Georgia again! My inner child can’t contain itself, so that’s the reason the episode is late. I am who I am! 

     

    Speaking of snow, we’re still in the thick of winter. Animals are still hibernating. Crops haven’t begun to sprout. It got me thinking, sometimes we need to hibernate too. When we enter a slower season, where there’s only so much we can deal with, sometimes we need to “hibernate.”  Handle what you can handle. Focus on what you can focus on. I share more of my musings on this in the episode, as well as the importance of prioritizing your own happiness is the most important thing you can do for yourself. (Sometimes choosing you means hibernating. Now you’re starting to get my point!)

     

    That’s the deep stuff…I’m also sharing my personal goals for this year, my neighborhood hero escapade in the snow, and my upcoming trip to Norway. 

  • In-Between: New Year New Me

    • by

    I’m back baby! Yes, I’ve returned to my podcast, addressing my impromptu hiatus and sharing the life changes I’ve been navigating. When your life implodes, you give up control (for the time being). I speak candidly about emotional turmoil, the importance of letting go of control, and how I’ve managed my mental health through the process. We close the episode out with catching-up on pop culture moments, including my thoughts on the Luigi United Healthcare incident, Martha Stewart’s documentary, the drama surrounding ‘It Ends With Us,’ and a glowing review of the ‘Wicked’ movie. Spoiler alert: Ariana SLAYED!

    I’m so happy to be back. Here’s to 2025!

    Navigating the Lost Girl Era: Rejection, Resilience, and Rediscovery

    I’m back! Hi, did you miss me? Don’t worry, I’m diving into everything that’s been going on in my world and catching you up about my recent bout with depression (which I’m redefining as my ‘Lost Girl Era’). 

    Here’s a look at this week’s episode:

    • Depression? Nah, we’re calling it our Lost Girl Era
    • I share the emotional journey of job searching, overcoming multiple rejections, and what happens when it doesn’t work out. 
    • Better yet, how I’m not giving up and how I inadvertently found small wins when I felt numb. Sometimes sitting with the uncomfortable feelings leads to new perspectives and observations. 
    • LOVE ISLAND USA SEASON 6 – CAN I GET A HELL YES? I go into my binge-watching experience, offering a humorous and heartfelt take on reality TV. 
    • My house-hunting adventure and how you can’t bamboozle me.
    • EMF Waves – wtf – my peculiar revelation about the impact of wearing an Apple Watch and my chronic pain. 
    • New York City pitch emails – holy level of imposter syndrome!

    No matter what, embrace your resilience, don’t forget your self-belief, and remember the power of redirection.
