Welcome to Be Powerful with Liz & Lee! Making a big change and claiming something different for your life can be scary, vulnerable, and just plain tough. Trust us, we know! From starting Hilliard Studio Method to falling in love with each other to pushing ourselves in a workout, we've made lots of changes in pursuit of incredible joy and fulfillment. In this episode, we're sharing how you can embrace change and hold space for yourself to thrive through it.

A few powerful reminders to help you thrive through change:

• Find things to keep you grounded when you're going through changes. Everyone has something that makes them feel calm, safe, and powerful. For Lee and her son, they take three deep breaths together before bedtime, for Lee it's quality time and cuddling with Liz, and for Liz it's connection with her loved ones.
• Use movement to cope with change. Not only are you training your body to take on physical challenges and build strength, you're also allowing your mind to release the stress and tension that comes with tough seasons of life.
• Don't avoid change. Change is inevitable, and it challenges us to grow in ways we never thought were possible for us. It can be scary, but there can also be so much joy and fulfillment on the other side.

She is happy to be living life unabashedly with Liz and adores her teenage children who have probably never listened to the podcast! Lee is passionate about movement and teaching and loves being on the sports fields watching her children, making her line of Love Sauce salads, or going out to dinner for date night with Liz. While behind the mic and on the screen aren't necessarily her comfort zone, she loves podcasting with Liz and has enjoyed the opportunity to share her story with the hope of inspiring others to live more joyfully.
