  • Creating Waves with Marketing Queen, Kaylyn Fudge

    • by

    I’m back with the first guest of the summer, and this is a HOT one, y’all! I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with the dynamic Kaylyn Fudge, founder and CEO of Blk Book Studio. 

    Kaylyn shares her journey from betting on herself to founding a renown creative marketing agency. We discuss navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of self-belief, and the excitement around Kaylyn’s HUGE upcoming  event, Heat Wave, here in Atlanta on July 12th. You’ll be treated to insights on confidence and self-love (our favorite here at The In-Between), building an agency and developing a team, balancing corporate roles with entrepreneurial ambitions, and so much more. This episode is for everyone, no matter where you are in your professional journey!

  • 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!

  • Overstimulated & Finding Your Hype People

    • by

    Giggles, never ending to-do lists, and the chaos of home ownership – I kick things off all over the place. Rest assured, you’ll be laughing with me (and might even be able to relate). 

    On top of the life updates and ridiculousness of my overwhelming to-do list, I also stress the importance of having “hype” people in your life. You never know when you’re going to run into Ryan Seacrest, then your friends tries to give him your podcast Instagram handle. Did she succeed? You’ll have to listen to find out. The main point is no matter where you are on your journey, you need people in your corner hyping you up, believing in you, and rooting you on because it’s hard carrying everything yourself. Those special people deserve a callout because we’d be lost without ya. 

    You have the magic, and it’s ok to let someone put it on spotlight.

  • 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: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

    • by

    In the voice of Molly Weasley, “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!” I know, I know, your girl had to go on a brief hiatus because there have been some major life changes! 

    This episode only touches the tip of the iceberg, but there will be more to come. **wink wink**
     Here’s a look: 

    • Recent adventures like New Orleans, maybe not the food I expected but I had a blast celebrating my girl and dancing the night away on Bourbon Street
      •  The most INCREDIBLE mother-daughter trip to New York City – OMG! I have soooo much more to say about NYC, but i’m saving that for when my mom and I can hop on the mic together. It was truly magical, and I’m officially a NYC girly. 
      • How did the NYC guest pitch go? You have to listen! I delve into the imposter syndrome, new things learned, and all that I gained from the outcome.  
      • Hurry sickness – what’s that? My new self-diagnosis. 
      • What’s TRULY been going on and why I’ve been missing-in-action the past few weeks? I’M BUYING A HOUSE!!!!! *big overwhelm* *major life change*
        • I get a little personal with the not-so-pretty side that this experience has been and how Stan and I are navigating these stressful times (won’t lie, it hasn’t been great, but it WILL be!).
        • When the complexities of family relationships present themselves, what matters the most? 

    Tune in for an honest, authentic, and heartfelt episode full of personal insights and life lessons. Per usual, duh.

  • In-Between: Sexuality is a Spectrum w/ Alex Armijo

    • by

    To close Pride Month out with a bang, I asked my good friend, Alex Armijo, to come back on the pod and discuss a topic that puts me a little out of my comfort zone…. sexuality. Dun dun DUN! One might blame Chappel Roan, but this episode was inspired by the question, what does queer even mean?

    Alex is an artist, DEI thought leader, a disability, LGBTQIA+, and human rights advocate. Basically, one of my favorite people to discuss these types of topics with. We also dive into Inside Out 2 (hehe). 

    Here’s a look at what we discuss:

    • Sexuality is a spectrum
    • Chapell Roan and her ownership of her queer identity and how that inspires others
    • What does queer even mean?
    • Alex and I share our first experiences with “sexuality” 
    • Labels and how they can help or hurt…. 
    • What “coming out” represents
    • Finding your communities – they’re out there! 
    • No matter what, who you love and what you enjoy are perfect and no one should ever take that away <3


    This episode was scary for me to do, but sexuality isn’t something to be ashamed of. This is for anyone who may be scared, confused, or needing a reminder that they are perfect just the way they are. 

    Let your freak flag fly, baby!
