We are kicking off this podcast by explaining Lee’s IG stories last week of shattered glass in our bathroom, plus some more hilarious stories and updates. Then, we dive into how Liz and Lee are different from each other, how we’ve dealt with the hate and negativity sent our way. Plus, we debunk some misconceptions about Hilliard Studio Method.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Follow-up to Liz’s multitasking goal: the first day went great! Rest of the week… work in progress. It’s all about the baby steps, y’all. Overall, Liz’s weekly screen time went down, which is a win!

• We (Liz and Lee) are pretty different from each other, but those differences make our relationship so much fun. We balance each other out and celebrate those differences instead of trying to change each other.

• When people speak negatively about you, it’s not really about you. It’s 100% about them. Their insecurities, their life story, and what they’ve been told is right and wrong is why they’re coming for you instead of looking at themselves.

We’ve only got about 4,000 weeks in our lifetime (not 40,000 like Liz says at the end of this episode - ha!), so do you want to spend those weeks halfway enjoying your experiences, or fully enjoying them? We’re talking about multitasking, where we avoid focusing or being present by trying to do several things at once. In this episode, Liz is sharing how she’s challenging herself to avoid multitasking in August to feel more present and in the moment than ever.

Resources mentioned:

• New York Times: The High Price of Multitasking

• Bloomberg: A Typical American Life Week By Week

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• So much of multitasking is avoiding being present in the moment. When you’re going on a walk or doing household tasks, are you listening to music or a podcast? Try doing these without any noise and see how much more focused and present you feel.

• Another way we multitask is watching TV while eating or enjoying a drink with our loved ones. We can’t fully enjoy our meal, our drink or our favorite TV show when our brain is trying to focus on all these things at once. 

• When you have a demanding job, it can also be difficult to leave your phone behind or turn off notifications. Odds are, whatever is going on at work can wait until you’re finished with your workout, your meal, or whatever you’re focusing on at the moment.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• The Barbie movie is SO much deeper than just hot pink nostalgia. There are so many themes that had us crying in the theater, and we feel this movie is appropriate for pretty much everyone, so bring your kids, your husband, and your friends!

• When you see fitness influencers posting a “full body” workout that’s only five short moves… that’s not a full body workout. At HSM we are hitting every muscle group to train your body to thrive through all of life’s ups and downs.

• Feminism is not about bashing men or putting men down, it’s about getting people of all genders and backgrounds on an even playing field so we all have a chance to succeed.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• There are lots of perceptions that Europeans have about Americans, and it’s really interesting to engage in conversation and hear about them! Some of them are surprising and others are pretty spot on.

• We left during intermission of a musical because Lee just wasn’t feeling it and Liz had seen it a hundred times. We fully embrace flexibility on vacation, and that’s the beauty of traveling with a partner who gets you.

• Most people we saw in Europe were in great shape, even though they enjoyed wine with lunch and dinner and had great food all around. Everything is walkable, so people are really active, and the markets are full of fresh, whole foods instead of processed foods.

We are currently living our best life on our European adventure, so this week we are bringing back this incredible interview with Erin McDermott! We’ll be back soon with new content and a recap of our trip!

Is perfectionism holding you back? You might not think so at first, but so much of our headspace can be consumed by what others think of us, and the fears of others can seep into our own thoughts. But what if you were unapologetically fearless? Erin McDermott, the Owner & Designer of Erin McDermott Jewelry in Charlotte, is on the podcast this week to share her fearless and free upbringing that inspired her creativity and spirit to do incredible work and live a full life. Follow her advice and your life could feel just as free!

Some key takeaways from one of our favorite people:

• Surround yourself with people who love and embrace you for all your quirks and the things that make you YOU! The people who try to shame you for it are not your people.

• Live every day like Erin rolling up to carpool with ice cream all over herself: confident, unapologetic, and positively upbeat.

• Don’t let perfection hold you back from starting or showing up. Who cares if you wear the wrong outfit or don’t have all the answers? Start anyway. It’s the only way to get the momentum going so you can move forward.

Some key takeaways of this episode include:

• It can be tricky to find common interests to bond with your kids over, especially when they’re teenagers! If your teen is into a particular musical artist (especially T-Swift!), even if you’re not super into them, attend a concert with them and make a whole weekend of it.

• Planning your travel excursions is a great way to make sure you fit all your destinations into the schedule, but try our rule of not having to do anything on your itinerary when the time comes if you don’t feel like it. 

• When you can, go on trips with just your spouse. It’s such a romantic and fun way to connect with each other and make some memories you can reminisce about for years to come.

• PinkNews Interview: Coming out later in life

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• It is never too late to follow your dreams. No matter how old you are or what you perceive to be a setback in your life, take one step towards the dream you have in your heart and make it happen for yourself!

• Sometimes when we’re going through difficult times or a big transition, we can feel really lonely and isolated, even when we’re surrounded by people who love us. Try to get outside of your own head and change your environment, do something nice for someone else.

• Telling your truth might be bloody and raw and difficult, but it can also be more simple and beautiful than you ever imagined. It gives your family and friends permission to tell their own truths as well.

This is a super fun and lighthearted episode, but some key takeaways include:

• We’ve got two tiers of celebrity crushes: beer buddies and hall passes. Beer buddies are people we’d love to have a long conversation with, and hall passes are for… well, more than talking! 

• You don’t need to put a label on who you’re attracted to. Sexuality exists on a spectrum, and you can’t help who you’re attracted to! If there’s not one single label that describes you, don’t sweat it. Just be unapologetically yourself.

• The bans against the LGBT+ community are embarrassing. Putting legal limits on love, creativity, and expression is a huge loss for everyone.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Hydration is so important in the summertime. Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water, plus a little more if you’re active and sweating during the day. Water makes your skin look amazing, supports joint health, and keeps you feeling energized.

• Don’t drive yourself crazy trying to look swimsuit ready for the summer. Focus on eating well and exercising all year round and avoid the “summer body” pressure at the beginning of the summer.

• Keep up with your workout routine on the go! Hilliard Studio Method has live streamed classes and on-demand workouts that you can do while traveling! Challenge your family to do the workout with you or invite your friends to a virtual class no matter where they are!
