This week, Laurie is excited to be chatting with Liz Hilliard and Lee Kennelly!  Liz and Lee became friends when the two were previously married to other partners. Their bond grew and over time, they changed their lives and became life partners!

Liz and Lee share how meeting each other led to living their authentic lives, and how you can do the same.

Liz Hilliard is an author, motivational speaker, personal & group trainer, and owner &

creator of Hilliard Studio Method (HSM) – an internationally-renowned, core-centric,

Pilates-based workout that uses the latest techniques to get the heart rate pumping and

sweat dripping – uses that mantra daily to empower and encourage women of all

generations and fitness levels to accept themselves as they are and keep moving.

Since 2007, followers around the world have changed the way they look and feel by

using her unique, proven, and unparalleled Method. Described as “Pilates on steroids,”

HSM is a core-centric, total-body workout that is both safe and effective. An

entrepreneur and business owner who established HSM in her 50s, Liz helps women at

any stage of life sculpt strong, healthy, beautiful bodies and minds while inspiring clients

of all ages to chase their dreams by fostering an inclusive, welcoming community.

Available in all 50 states as well as internationally with an online streaming platform, live

Zoom classes, and fully stocked wellness boutique out of the flagship studio in

Charlotte, NC, the HSM brand continues to grow and evolve and now includes the wildly

popular Hilliard Studio Podcast, which she co-hosts with HSM Director of Training, Lee

Kennelly. Liz’s first book, Be Powerful: Find Your Strength at Any Age is not only the story of how she created her signature Method, but also how she found the strength to

overcome one of her most challenging life events and inspires others to find their

authentic and most powerful selves. 

Lee Kennelly is Hilliard Studio Method® certified and Director of Training. Sports, dance and fitness have always been a part of her life, and her first career was as an elementary school teacher and tutor, so it was a natural fit to combine her passions and join Liz and Clary in 2012 as an HSM trainer. As Director of Training, Lee has an innovative and creative approach to designing classes that are motivating, constantly evolving and take into account all levels of fitness. “HSM encompasses overall wellness. The workout is fun, results-oriented and creates a strong body from the inside out. The Lifestyle of healthy eating and of fueling the body provided me with a healthy body image for the first time in my adult life. The value of that is a priceless gift.”
