This has truly been a whirlwind summer of travel and exciting changes for us, and last week was no exception as we flew to NYC to be on the Tamron Hall Show! In this episode, we're sharing all the details of our experience in the city, from being on the show, to our run-in with a hilarious celebrity and our favorite spots in NYC. We're also sharing our thoughts on the autumnal equinox and embracing the opportunity for balance after a super busy season.

Resources mentioned:

• Watch our segment on the Tamron Hall Show!
• Liz's Huffington Post Article

3 key takeaways from our impromptu NYC trip:

• At times it feels as if we've shared our love story a million times, but as long as it inspires others to live and love as their most authentic selves, we will continue to tell it.
• The entire crew that runs the Tamron Hall show is amazing! Our hair and makeup artists were incredible, the on set crew made us feel so comfortable, and we were in awe watching Tamron herself transition from segment to segment with so much grace. We're so so grateful to have been a small part of the show!
• The autumnal equinox is a time of balance: 12 hours of dark and 12 hours of light per day for a few days. It's a time to rest and reestablish your roots as we get ready for the dark winter season, Liz's favorite season for all the cozy vibes.
