The In-Between with Elizabeth Cheney

Liz is back solo this week on the pod! We're giving life updates, holiday shenanigans, vision boards, and what it means to be an essentialist. Today's episode inspiration comes from Greg McKeown's Essentialism, a book exploring the idea of the disciplined pursuit of less. Since we're getting closer to the end of the year, this idea of quieting the noise so you can focus on what's important really resonates.

In the pursuit of more, we should pursue less. Does that sound right? According to Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism, that is exactly the idea. This week's Lizdom is a mindset shift from priorities to priority (yes, we're slimming our to-do's down to one). It's about "the pursuit of success can be a catalyst for failure" if we don't take back control of what we spend our time on.

We're getting closer to the end of the year, so maybe you're thinking about your goals for next year. Maybe you're thinking about how to close up the last few remaining goals you had set for this year. Either way, today's Lizdom will help ground yourself in your pursuit for more while doing less.

We're back this week with special guest, Noah Daniels of the Real Hauntings Podcast! For those who don't know, Noah has his own spooky podcast, which I've been a guest on, as well as co-hosted several times. It's a great show with the largest audio library of first count experiences with the paranormal.

Noah and I talk about what got him started in podcasting, which opened a deep conversation about figuring out who you are while embracing the unknown.  It's about being the main character in your story. This episode is full of wisdom, perseverance, combating our good ole' friend Imposter Syndrome, and never holding back on your dreams.

Oh, and we definitely hear a spooky ghost story or two. ;)

It's Thanksgiving Week, and I'm going through my list of things I'm grateful and thankful for (with a side of humor and sarcasm). Get in the holiday spirit with me and think about the things that you're grateful for - from pets, family, friends, to all the things in-between, I'm covering it all. 

Oh, and a friendly holiday PSA - please be careful on the roads.

Alright everyone, this week, we're feeling testy. We're feeling frustrated. We're feeling negative af. How do we combat that? How do we reset our expectations when things aren't working out quite how we imagined? Today's In-Between is about regulating our emotions and never giving up.

C'mon everyone - we do NOT give up on ourselves! No matter how much we may want to, no matter how stressful things may seem, always bet on yourself.

This week's In-Between is about Liz's Tips & Tricks to Self-Care. Feel free to take a tip or trick (or all of them!) and add it to your toolkit for next time you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed af. 

• Remember, you are a work in progress. You're human! There is beauty in the mistakes because how else do you learn?! Accepting that will make mistakes is a great first step in letting go of pressure you put on yourself. "Mistakes mean you're trying."
• Feeling overwhelmed? Anxious? Get some movement! Jump around, shake your hands, hop up and down - something to get the juice moving. Sitting or being still can add to your stress/anxiety. Move around!
• And on that note, if you are able to, go outside. Even if only for a few minutes, you'd be surprised at how much being outdoors can adjust your mood and energy. 
• Eat! Don't forget to eat! Protein - it's important! 
• .....and that also goes for drinking water. I personally use a water bottle that has time stamps on how much water I should have already drank by a certain time. Yes, one may think my bottle is bossing me around, but maybe I like it! Plus, I'm refreshed ;) 
• The only supplement/vitamin advice I'm going to give: don't forget to take your Vitamin B (energy and happy feelings!) and Vitamin D (we get it from the sun! helps with bones!)
• Wash your face - take care of yourself in general. You are worth the few minutes it will take  to wash up, and you'll feel better (even if just a little bit) knowing that you did.
• Talk to someone - maybe you're talking to a therapist, a friend, a parent, sibling, co-worker, someone. Opening up is so important.
• Journaling - even if it's listing  3 things you're grateful for, taking that time to focus  on the good/positive/hopeful can make all the difference.
• Breathing & Stretching - this is a big one that I often forget (the breathing - HA!). Especially in those moments of intense stress or anxiety, taking a DEEP breathe in -1 - 2- 3 and DEEP breathe out -1 - 2- 3 can make all the difference. You can feel your body swell with the breath - that's what your'e going for. Feel it from the top of your head all the way down to your toes. It's extremely grounding and will help bring your heart rate down which helps with your stress response. 
  
  

You are worth taking care of yourself! What sort of things do you do when you're feeling overwhelmed?

Your Lizdom is BACK this week!

This week's Lizdom is inspired by a quote by Lena Horne, actress, dancer, and activist:  "It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it."

Happy to be back, y'all. <3

**Correction, Aristotle said "Patience in bitter, but the fruit is sweet." I mistakenly credit that to the wrong person. This is why you should always check your notes!**

 Welcome back to an all new episode of The in-Between Podcast! Today's topic is on the more sensitive side. I've been wanting to talk about this for a while but haven't had the courage.

In life, we experience seasons of waiting. Waiting for the next chapter, next milestone, next life accomplishment. We don't talk about the emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual toll these chapters in life have on us, not even including how lonely it feels.

Today's episode is about these seasons of waiting. About banding together to feel supported during these uncertain times. I may not have the answers,  but I hope I can offer support and validation.

You are not alone. <3

We're catching up and talking future plans on The In-Between Podcast. This week's episode is on the funnier side, as I ramble on about my intro, this, that, and everything in-between. (See what I did there?) Anywho, I share a little insight into what I've got cooking for the pod, as well as my plans for next year.

Let's catch up and giggle!
