20. If You Called Me Asking About a Life Change, This Is What I'd Say

Sometimes finding yourself in adulthood looks a lot like getting back to who you were as a child…

Welcome to the Napkin Notes Podcast! Hosted by me! Elizabeth Evans. 

I want to help us pick back up the pieces of who we used to be, the pieces of ourselves we really loved and cherished, that somehow were left behind along the way. Helping to remind us all who we once were before the world told us who to be. And not necessarily through hard conversations or deep therapy (albeit, I'm a big fan of both). But simply through things like: 

- Reminding ourselves how to be in community, 
- Sharing our non-linear stories of stumbling into unexpected passions,
- Re-learning our favorite recipes, 
- Chatting about our most-loved family traditions, and 
- Throwing memorable, yet effortless girl’s nights.

And who am I you ask? I’m Elizabeth :) Owner+Founder of Elizabeth Evans Media. I began my agency in 2018 and have produced dozens of top podcasts from world renowned musicians, impactful content creators, and best selling authors.

One thing has remained true throughout this entrepreneurship journey: I love the feeling of connection through storytelling - with a little flair of southern hospitality.

So in that spirit, I’ll be inviting on guests that have a passion for connection, generosity, and of course, great taste, to keep us inspired to write out our own story well - while obviously giggling along the way.

You’ll hear from women like:
- Olivia Adriance about the tenacity of building a dream community of over 1 million likeminded food lovers and how a mother’s influence at a young age can bring about a tradition of making tasty meals.

- And from Cortney LaCorte of Cheesegal on her own Napkin Note moment that started her brand (that will soon materialize into a cookbook!) - and how an unexpected family friend cultivated her love of gatherings.

- And from Mallory Ervin about how growing up with 22 first cousins crafted her familial loyalty and how that support encouraged her to pursue big dreams from Miss America to the Amazing Race.

Essentially, if you love handwritten letters, flower arrangements, family traditions, intentional questions, and a good cocktail – I think you'll quickly find your place here.

I want to bring us back to ourselves, and I believe we can do that through inviting small Notes of Nostalgia into each of our days.

And I’m just so glad you’re here.
