Multitasking In Heels

Dr. Lauren Beitelspacher, Professor of Marketing at Babson College, talks about what it's like to influence - and be inspired by - Generation Z. This unique generation was born around the time of 9/11, has never experienced life without technology, and faces the highest levels of anxiety we've ever seen. We discuss the importance of raising critical thinkers and making sure our kids have the tools they need to be successful - in the real world. We also get into some stars, like are not like us!

In order to prove their commitment to their careers, women often feel forced to downplay their childcare obligations. In this episode, Liz and Lindsey discuss the unspoken, but inherent biases against working mothers and how corporate America is still very much structured to support men. They offer up their personal perspectives on this topic and also share what unexpected packages arrived in the mail.

We all deal with them, even if we don't want to. The Judgey-Mcjudgerson's who have nominated themselves to poke their nose in your proverbial business. Just like the PTA Mom's on "Bad Mom's", Liz and Lindsey delve into; the mean mom stories they've dealt with, how moms should be supporting one another, not tearing each other down, and to remember it takes a village. Joining Liz and Lindsey on this week's episode is Rachel Sobel, the hilarious mastermind behind the blog Whine and Cheez(its). Rachel shares her perspective on Mommy Mean Girls, raising daughters in the world of social media, and the Amazon purchase that changed her life. 

In this episode, Liz and Lindsey are joined by Henry Ward, a recovering addict whose inspirational road to recovery is detailed in his new book, Running Without the Devil. Henry shares his battle with addiction, what finally led him to get help, and how he is using his experience and platform as an ultra marathon runner to help other addicts get the treatment they so desperately need.

Liz and Lindsey discuss body positivity and the importance of raising kids with body confidence and a healthy relationship with food. They share the messages they were given around body image growing up and Liz shares her very personal struggle with disordered eating. You'll also find out how Lindsey almost ruined Christmas!

That might have been the "rule" for our grandmothers but the roles of both moms and dads have evolved quite a bit over the decades. In this episode, we revisit the traditional expectations of men and women and their respective roles in the household, discuss how we were raised, and share how we partner with our husbands to manage kids, house, careers, etc. And drive safely! You don't want to swerve off the road when we talk about "make sure you are pretty for your man when they get home". 

Nope, it's not a heart attack, just a panic attack! Whether you meditate, medicate, or are just white knuckle your way through this rollercoaster of life, we want you to know you are not alone. During this episode, we share our personal struggles with anxiety, what helps us navigate our frenzied lives while trying to maintain a modicum of fabulousness, and the importance of removing the stigma surrounding mental health. You'll also learn what personal hygiene product Facebook thinks Liz desperately needs!

In Episode 9, Liz and Lindsey talk about what some would consider you only do during a mid-life crisis, but not Julie.  Do you know it's more common to change jobs during your 40's (and it's not just because of COVID)? "Take risks. Say yes. Explore what fulfills you." Those are the words of wisdom from this week's guest, Julie Dereshinsky. After spending 20+ years in corporate America, Julie left the rat race to become a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach. She discusses what it was like to pursue her dream in her 40s, what she has personally gotten out of being a coach, and how she balances all of that with being a wife and a mother. She also dishes on why her daughter doesn't think all Rudy's should be considered Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. This is an episode not to miss!! 

Episode 8 is all about everyone initially embracing the "Covid Comfy" of working from home in sweatpants and messy buns to people finally coming around and realizing throwing on some lipgloss and skinny jeans might actually make you more productive. We also share our best pandemic beauty purchases and talk about our favorite celebrity that everyone loves to hate.

This week Liz and Lindsey talk about "lit Thanksgivings", grocery shopping (love it or hate it), and what it's like from a Dad's perspective with the great Voice Over Actor, and TikTok star, Joe Gaudet (@Iamjoegaudet). With Multitasking in Heel's listenership at 20% men, this episode will be even more relatable, because you too, are in the pandemic with us. Joe talks about following your passion, which is relatable to all, and dishes out so many great life lessons, along with a few amazing impressions on the side. You don't want to miss this!
