More Everything

Dr. Ann Spencer returns for a bonus episode where she shares her thoughts on travel, aging, personal agency and how to make room for the life you still want while staying connected to the people you love.

Have you ever heard a word meant as encouragement somehow land like an accusation?

Capable can be one of those words.

For students with learning differences, being called “capable” often comes with a darker inference: why aren’t you living up to your potential?

Dr. Ann Spencer has built her career working with neurodivergent students and young adults to help them navigate expectations and unlock the power of their unique brains.

This is a deeply personal conversation about ADHD, slow processing, anxious learners, and what changes when we stop mistaking struggle for laziness or lack of effort.

This week’s song...

celebrates all the beautiful brains that work in their own original way and help keep this world more unexpected and joyful.

Praise You |  Fatboy Slim

Patricia Goodwin-Peters had one more piece of her story to share and it connects back to everything we talked about in rediscover.A quick, playful conversation about duality, why we don’t always have to choose left brain vs right brain, and how the stars have played a role in Patricia's success.

Have you ever looked at someone and realized there was so much more to their story than you imagined?

Dr. Patricia Goodwin-Peters spent decades helping other people recognize their potential, understand themselves, and figure out where they might go next. As a Chief Human Resources Officer, she led people and culture at companies including Ralph Lauren, Aeropostale, and Kate Spade—and earned her doctorate along the way.

But that’s only the résumé version of Patricia.

In this episode, Elizabeth and Patricia talk about identity, creativity, curiosity, AI, and what happens when someone who has spent a career helping others find their way starts asking some of those same questions of herself.

There’s also one completely unexpected experiment that somehow connects all of it.

This week’s song…
Reminds us that sometimes the past isn't gone, it's just waiting to be rediscovered.

The Ghost in You | The Psychedelic Furs

After Knowing, Courtney McMahon came back for One More Thing — the question I didn’t know enough to ask.

Her answer took less than four minutes.

It may make you reconsider something in your own life.

Have you ever known something wasn’t quite right… before you were ready to admit what that might mean?

A job. A relationship. A habit. Even a life you worked incredibly hard to build.

Courtney McMahon has faced that question more than once. In his conversation, we talk about how she challenged herself to ask deeper questions about her work, her relationship with alcohol, her sense of home, and the relationships that shaped her life.

Because sometimes the questions that keep showing up aren’t asking us for an immediate answer.

They’re asking us to pay attention.

This week’s song feels like it was written expressly for Courtney: “Icing on the Cake” by Grace Ives.

Have you ever found yourself at a loss for words? Not just any words… your words. Your voice.

I thought I was stepping away from More Everything for a month. Instead, I disappeared for almost a year.

In this Season Two premiere, I'm sharing why. And what changed while I was gone.

Sometimes, when you stop forcing answers and let life unfold, it leads you exactly where you're meant to be.

This week’s song is a bit of an anthem for me. On repeat this week... The Middle by Jimmy Eat World.

Welcome to Season Two of More Everything.

A few years ago, my life began looking very different than I thought it would. The questions that followed changed the way I see people, stories, and even myself.

This season is built around those questions.

Every week, I'll sit down with someone who has a story.

And once they've told it...

We'll keep talking.

Welcome to More Everything.

Season one closes with a chat about transitions – the kind that used to thrill me, but now come laced with fear. I share why I’m determined to flip it back, using my daughter’s launch into her college career and Alisia Gill’s “rearview mirror” wisdom as guides. I have some small, practical nudges for empty nesters ready to get over their fears and re-enter the work force. And, we talk about how even in this Era of Enough, we still deserve more… not more stuff, but more love. Not more money, but more dreams.

While I prepare for season two, I leave you with a PLAYLIST filled with the songs inspired by our season one episodes, an eclectic mix of music and messages. 

Thank you for a wonderful first season and may your days be filled with more of everything that brings you joy!

What if the career you’ve built no longer fits the life you want? Alisia Gill, founder and CEO of Era of Enough™, helps Gen X women realign their careers with who they are today, NOT who they were told to be decades ago. We talk about why our generation followed the “rules” of success, how the workplace changed around us, and why it’s never too late to reinvent ourselves.

Alisia shares her “rear view mirror” framework, the double meaning of enough – “I’ve HAD enough” and “I AM enough” – and how to take action without waiting for the “right” moment to arrive (spoiler – there isn’t one).

If you’ve been feeling undervalued, or misaligned, you are ready to step into your own Era of Enough.

This week's song is a reminder that Enough is Enough!
