More Everything

In this bonus episode, we dive into Martha Stewart's journey from embodying perfection to embracing a more relatable, imperfect life. Known for her high standards, Stewart built an empire around flawless living—yet faced sharp criticism and even jail time, fueling public opinion against her. But the twist? Her time away only made her more human, more accessible, and unapologetically authentic. This episode highlights the unexpected power of imperfection.

Have you ever found yourself chasing perfection, only to realize it’s completely unattainable? Or maybe you've had one of those moments where everything seemed to go “wrong,” but somehow turned out exactly “right”? In this episode, I open up to share my own “mess,” the unexpected twists and turns that, in hindsight, made life more meaningful and way more fun. We’ll dig into why aiming for an imperfect life may actually be the key to happiness, creativity, and a little more peace. Tune in for an honest conversation that challenges the idea of perfection and celebrates the beauty of life's unpredictable path.

In this bonus episode, we explore the importance of aligning your personal values with your job and career goals. Elizabeth discusses practical ways to evaluate your core values, how to recognize misalignment, and what to do if your current situation isn’t working. The episode also touches on managing the emotional impact of leaving a job, whether by choice or not, and how to move forward with confidence.

Have you ever felt a misalignment between your work and your values? On this week’s episode of More Everything, I sit down with Wendy Bernero, a remarkable leader and friend, to explore the power of recognizing when it’s time to move on. Wendy shares pivotal moments in her career—when making bold, sometimes scary decisions led her to greater alignment and fulfillment. We discuss how to navigate tough transitions, knowing when to step away, and the personal rewards that come from daring to make big changes. Wendy's impressive career has spanned roles like Global CMO of Baker McKenzie, and other leading international companies. Today, she is launching her own business, one that is filling her with purpose and alignment. Tune in to hear how Wendy found her path, and how you can, too.

In this bonus episode, Elizabeth reflects on the New York Times article "The Magic of Your First Work Friends" by Emma Goldberg, using it as a springboard to share stories from her early career. She discusses the electric energy of forming close friendships at work, from late-night pranks to navigating life’s ups and downs together. Drawing from personal experience, Elizabeth highlights how these friendships shaped her career and created lasting bonds that brought support and joy during those formative years.

Do you remember your first work friend? That person who made you laugh in the face of chaos, helped you navigate those “What am I doing?” moments, and somehow made the job feel less like work? I do, and I’m thrilled to share that my guest on this week’s episode of More Everything is one of my very first work friends – Jill Braff.

Together, we reflect on the magic of those early work friendships - the unique blend of work and play, how they shaped our careers, and the value of having friends who have witnessed your journey from the beginning. We also discuss the importance of mentorship, navigating male-dominated industries, and maintaining work-life balance.

Jill’s career has been remarkable, spanning companies like Nintendo, Ancestry.com, HSN, and Ellen Digital Ventures. Today, she’s the VP, Bethesda/ZeniMax Studios.

Tune in to hear more about our shared experiences, and why first work friends are truly lifelong friends.
