More Everything

Season one closes with a chat about transitions – the kind that used to thrill me, but now come laced with fear. I share why I’m determined to flip it back, using my daughter’s launch into her college career and Alisia Gill’s “rearview mirror” wisdom as guides. I have some small, practical nudges for empty nesters ready to get over their fears and re-enter the work force. And, we talk about how even in this Era of Enough, we still deserve more… not more stuff, but more love. Not more money, but more dreams.While I prepare for season two, I leave you with a PLAYLIST filled with the songs inspired by our season one episodes, an eclectic mix of music and messages. Thank you for a wonderful first season and may your days be filled with more of everything that brings you joy!

What if the career you’ve built no longer fits the life you want? Alisia Gill, founder and CEO of Era of Enough™, helps Gen X women realign their careers with who they are today, NOT who they were told to be decades ago. We talk about why our generation followed the “rules” of success, how the workplace changed around us, and why it’s never too late to reinvent ourselves.Alisia shares her “rear view mirror” framework, the double meaning of enough – “I’ve HAD enough” and “I AM enough” – and how to take action without waiting for the “right” moment to arrive (spoiler – there isn’t one).If you’ve been feeling undervalued, or misaligned, you are ready to step into your own Era of Enough.This week's song is a reminder that Enough is Enough!

What makes a place feel like home? In this episode, we talk about our personal spaces and how they evolve with us as we move through our life journeys. They hold our memories, reflect who we are in this moment and give us a place to escape from the outside world. It’s a conversation about creating comfort in the chaos and why “home” isn’t always about square footage or ownership, but rather about how you feel when you walk through the door. Whether you’re rooted, uprooted, or somewhere in between, we all deserve to be “home for now.”When you're done listening, crank up this week's song, No Roots by Alice Merton, and celebrate your home, wherever (and whatever) it may be.

Ever feel like you’re not exactly burned out, but definitely not thriving either? You might be languishing – stuck in that murky middle space where you’re going through the motions without  purpose. In this bonus episode, we talk about this very real state and some tips to help you climb back toward getting more of what matters - a life filled with joy.

What if you didn’t feel the pressure of having to be a SuperStar every day? Liv Allen built her career across continents, clients, and career resets and she’s learned how to lead with both guts and grace. In this episode, we unpack her “rockstar/superstar/northstar” framework, why slow growth is still growth, and how to stay more human in a results-obsessed world.This week, a song for all you Rock Stars and SuperStars out there: Superstar by Lupe Fiasco

Are you a Sex and the City fan? I found that the show always seemed to get it right when they explored the ups and downs of dating and relationships. All these years later, it still resonates. In this bonus episode, we’re chatting more about relationship misalignment and the critical mistake so many of us make when we are working for love and not with it. Grab a cosmo and tune in!

What is the secret to relationships that endure? We often think that deep connection and shared affection are the foundations of lasting love, but what if we're missing something more fundamental? What if love isn’t enough? This week, I’m joined by Nick Brancato, author of Prioritize Us, who believes that alignment, not just emotion, may be the key to keeping our relationships strong through life’s many changes. Together, we talk about practical tools, real-life misalignments, and how to reconnect with intention.Tune into this week's song, one of my favorites to celebrate love that endures!

What happens when you actually give a sh!t at work – about people, not just performance? In this bonus episode, I talk about why relationships matter, especially during big transitions. Inspired by The Relationship-Driven Leader, I share how emotional intelligence, connection and real care have shaped my leadership and how all of it is showing up now as I navigate my own career transition.

When we think about work, we often think about deadlines, deliverables, and KPIs. But what about relationships?In this episode with workplace psychologist and author Dr. Karen Bridbord, we discuss what it really takes to build strong, healthy connections at work and why those connections matter more than we think. Drawing from her book The Relationship-Driven Leader, we explore the role emotions play in the workplace and how to communicate with care, but without crossing a line.We also talk about managing up and down, how to “fight fair” with coworkers and why appreciation is more than a feel-good gesture, it’s a business imperative.When you're done, give a listen to this week’s song: 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton

Do you ever find yourself saying, “It’s not that bad… other people have it worse”?In this bonus episode, we explore why we’re so quick to downplay our own struggles and how that instinct can actually hold us back. Struggle isn’t a competition and pain doesn’t need to be ranked to be real. This is a reflection on why YOUR hard is still hard and why giving yourself permission to feel it might be the most powerful thing you can do.

What does it really take to survive and thrive when the system is stacked against you? This week, I’m talking with Dr. Gena V, a force of nature whose life is a testament to persistence and purpose. From being forced out of her all-Black high school in the 1970s, to becoming a teenage mother, to earning her doctorate and publishing 14 books, she has kept going, with dignity, clarity and fight. Her story will remind you that survival isn’t just about getting through, it’s about making meaning out of what tried to break you.This week's song, Life Will Be by Cleo Sol, feels as if it was written for specifically for Dr. Gena V.

After my cancer scare, I’m now living what I call my “yellow-light” life and I’m deeply grateful for it. Yes, it’s filled with the stress of insurance complications and the mental, physical and emotional load so many of us carry as we hold our lives (and everyone else's) together. But it also is also filled with making time for myself, time that I fiercely protect. I’m here to remind you that you don’t need a health scare to understand that we are all doing the best we can and to encourage you to get comfortable in your beautiful, imperfect life.

Have you had a moment that split your life into “before” and “after”? This week, I share my own - an unexpected health crisis that began with a genetic surprise and led to a life-altering diagnosis. From family history to frantic decisions, this is the story of how everything changed overnight and what it means to truly live the life you want for yourself.This week's song, Superwoman is my North Star reminder of the strength we all hold inside of us.

Money talk doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, but it does need to happen. This bonus episode is about claiming your financial freedom, building a trusted community and getting smart about investing, even when the market’s doing somersaults. I’m sharing a personal story of how I took charge of my own future and the painful reminder that even the best plans need backup. We’re chatting about the highs of ringing the Nasdaq bell, the lows of facing personal loss and why knowing your value and protecting it – legally, financially and emotionally – matters more than ever.

Inspired by last week’s conversation with Jill Bazos, who spoke about Myth-Information, we are busting more everyday myths. Does eating before swimming really cause cramps? Will wet hair in the cold make you sick? Does cracking your knuckles lead to arthritis? And do you really have just five senses?

Sometimes, the universe sends you a sign when you need it most. This bonus episode is about those symbolic moments that remind you to trust yourself, even when the path ahead feels uncertain. Following last week’s episode on feeling trapped and searching for freedom, I had an experience that stopped me in my tracks – one that reminded me that there are greater forces at work.

Are you feeling trapped in some aspect of your life? Whether it is finances, relationships, obligations or your career, we all find ourselves stuck at different points in our lives. In this episode, I’m sharing some of my own experiences of being trapped and offer ideas about how to begin untangling yourself from the situations and beliefs that are holding you back. Together, we can shift our internal narratives to move toward living our lives in a way that gives us more freedom, agency and meaning.

Losing someone you love changes everything. Grief isn’t something to fix – it’s something to live with. In this bonus episode, I reflect on the reality of loss, the way it reshapes our world, and why sometimes the only thing to say is, “It sucks.” If you’re grieving or know someone who is, you are not alone.

Are we overthinking Valentine’s Day? Maybe. But it’s hard not to when the holiday often feels like a performance rather than a celebration. Somewhere along the way, love became something to prove rather than something to experience. But real love, the kind that lasts beyond a single day, isn’t about comparison or extravagance. It’s the small, quiet moments where we express love and appreciation for our partners, friends, family, pets and, most importantly, ourselves, that make the biggest impact. What if we reclaim Valentine’s Day and focus on those moments instead?Our song of the week, inspired by this week’s episode:Say Hey (I Love You)

In this bonus episode, Elizabeth dives into what it means to clean out your "life closet" – sorting "yes," "no," and "maybe" piles to make room for the new things, people and experiences that are coming. Inspired by her recent appearance on the Untrained Podcast, Elizabeth explores how letting go of the old can open space for growth, self-discovery and the more everything we're all seeking.

Last week, I had the privilege of switching roles - from host to guest - on the Untrained Podcast with Whitney Otto and Iris Zimmerman.

After months of anxious buildup, today is a day to regroup and figure out how to release the tension.
