On Purpose with Elizabeth Pehrson

We’d love to hear from you! Send us a text!

(Part 1 of 2) On today’s episode, Elizabeth invited one of her daughter’s to help answer some questions that only teenagers growing up in this day and age can answer.  Whether or not you have children currently at home, we think you will enjoy this heartfelt conversation between Elizabeth and her daughter.  It wasn’t planned.  It wasn’t scripted.  Just simply a real, vulnerable conversation between a mom and her daughter about what teenagers wish their parents knew and understood about growing up in this generation.  (And it just so happens to be the one most like Elizabeth).

We hit the one year mark of ON PURPOSE and we are so excited!  Thank you to our loyal listeners!  On today’s episode, Elizabeth challenges us to ask ourselves questions like “What Type of Friend Are You”? And also, since we are the average of the five people we spend time with the most, it’s important to take a look at what types of friends those five people are.  Elizabeth shares the six types of friends based on Jennie Allen’s book FIND YOUR PEOPLE.  It’s crucial to know and understand what unique gifts we bring to our relationships and to acknowledge what roles our friends play in our lives.

On today’s episode, Elizabeth has a serious, yet VERY IMPORTANT discussion about how we can be INTENTIONAL in our end of life planning with Michelle Wilson, estate attorney, probate planner and author.  After discovering she has the BRCA gene, Michelle wrote a series of letters to her daughter in the event she died.  These letters were eventually published as a book called, So I Can Love You Longer. Michelle offers very practical insight into planning for our death so that we leave with no regrets and that we make it easy as possible for our loved ones after we are gone.

“Our epidemic of loneliness and isolation has been an underappreciated public health crisis. Our relationships are a source of healing and well-being hiding in plain sight – one that can help us live healthier, more fulfilled, and more productive lives,” said U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. (5/3/23) 

On today’s episode, Dr. Heather Holleman, joins us to discuss this epidemic of loneliness.  We talk about how many people are lonely without even realizing it, the importance of doing things WITH people, not only FOR them… gushing over our accomplishments… and Heather meeting Elizabeth’s children!

We live in such an ALONE culture.  We feel like we should be able to do it all on our own.  With no one’s help.  In America, we perceive asking for help as a weakness instead of a strength.  Why is it so hard for us to ask for help?  Or at the very least, receive help when others offer it?  Elizabeth is currently in a self-professed overwhelmed state, and practiced what she is preaching on this podcast.  She reached out ask asked for help!!!!  Jane McLain is joining her on this episode as a friend and color commentary as they unpack why women have such a hard time asking for/receiving help.  This is a light hearted and casual conversation between friends that believe in the power and value of ONE ANOTHERING each other.

On today’s episode, Elizabeth discusses some insightful points from Nona Jones book KILLING COMPARISON.  You cannot have a conversation about comparison without discussing insecurity.  You will learn that when we are secure in who we are, there is no room for comparison. But on the flip side, insecurity is what drives comparison. Join us as we unpack the most common insecurities among women and offer practical tips to help us kill toxic comparison ON PURPOSE.

Have you ever heard the song 'Friends are Friends Forever?' Albeit a nostalgic tune that many of us remember from our high school graduation ceremony, it might have led us to falsely believe a thing or two about friendship.  In particular, that they should and always will last forever. But the truth is that people CHANGE.  Friendships CHANGE. And that’s a natural part of life. On today’s show, Elizabeth explores some practical diagnostic tools and intentional steps for the next time you find yourself experiencing a change, a shift or loss in a friendship.
