The In-Between with Elizabeth Cheney

First person POV show notes: Now that I'm back from Italy and recapped the trip on last week's episode, let's jump into how our world got turned upside down with our pup. I'm giving you all the deets on what went down with Luna - it was pretty traumatic, but in the word's of Kelly Clarkson - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. *nervous laughter* With that happening, ya girl needed to ground herself. Life has literally been flipped since we got back into town, and I finally decided to do this mid-year goal check in. Well, in typical Liz fashion, I kept the tab opened and finally did it 3 months later LOL. So I'm calling it my 3/4 year check in. Jokes aside, this exercise really helped me, and i'm spilling all the tea in today's episode. Don't forget to rate this show, review, and follow wherever you listen to podcasts. Ooh!

Ciao! Elizabeth is BACK from Italy and is ready to talk about it. Her husband, Stan, joins on another vacation recap. It's a bit of a longer episode, but Liz and Stan are giving you the 4-1-1 on everything they did, the highs, the lows, and the inside scoop to an Italian vacation. From gondola rides in Venice and the San Marco square, to the art museum marathon in Florence (and the best steak around), to a slower change of pace in the Amalfi Coast (and a quick trip to Pompeii), and the grand finale of exploring Rome, they're covering it all. They're also detailing their favorite parts, as well as some not so favorite parts. Sit back and enjoy the Italian country with The In-Between.

Hi, hello, did you miss me? The In-Between is back from vacation, and Elizabeth's favorite person to introspect with is back on this week's episode, none other than Joshua Dairen! Liz pulls out a card game and starts asking Josh a series of "introspective hot seat" questions - lol. Giggles aside, today's episode is filled with wisdom and advice to pretty much everyone, but especially those on their own creative, entrepreneurial, or passion project journeys (aka everyone! and if this isn't you, then today's episode might inspire you). If you'd like to see this episode in person, check out The In-Between's Youtube channel! Don't forget to leave a review and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform.

So apparently Venus is in retrograde, and that's gotta be the reason Liz's life the past two weeks has felt like chaos (hellooooo - triple taurus over here!) Either way, we are adulting our way through our to-do list.  Liz is catching you up on all the hilarious hi-jinks that she's been through the past week. Hey - this just means Italy is going to be THAT more amazing! *nervous laughter*

MAYDAY! We are allll over the place in this week's in-between, but at least Liz is offering you prime hilarity as she goes through it. This week's episode is bringing you a few updates in Liz's world, some funny, some adulting, but entertaining nonetheless. Liz is also talking about a new book she just finished - Drama Free! So a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  From expensive dental visits, to the fact that we're leaving for ITALY IN A WEEK, this episode is full of energy (that BIG LIZ ENERGY BLE) that will leave you giggling.

Elizabeth is back and sweatier than ever in this week's in-between.  This episode is a little more laid back, as Liz gives some life updates, a few interesting tidbits in the news cycle (hey - ya never know when you need a current event to drop at a happy hour or hangout), and how making small changes in your habits really do add up overtime. Time to enjoy the fruits of the labor. What's your current in-between?

This week's in-between may be titled advice to my younger self, but everything I say relates to any walk of life. So whether you're a twenty something navigating what I call "second puberty", or a thirty-something pivoting in their career, or a forty-something looking to love themself, this episode offers something to everyone. 

In a nutshell, Elizabeth's advice to her younger self includes:
Overall, stop comparing yourself to others. 

Relationships – 

• You cannot change someone. Repeat - you cannot change someone
• You’re not responsible for anyone else's feelings 
• Don’t waste your time on people who don’t treat you how you deserve
• Communication most often leads to discourse
• You’re going to meet so many people in your life; some will come in and some will leave
• Empathy and understanding will get you far but don’t be a people pleaser

Work – 

• If you’re first job ends up being your dream job, good for you. For others, we might end up all over the place before we find what drives us. No one’s path is wrong or right more than someone else's, as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other
• If you're not learning or getting some sort of fullfilment from it, release it
• Write thank you emails
• NETWORK 

Self – 

• Remember how important it is to keep your identity separate – you can be a mother, employee, manager, sibling, daughter, podcaster, soccer player, but these things make up YOU; one role doesn’t’ solely define you nor limit you 
• Don’t apologize for being you or speaking up for yourself
• Enjoy life – appreciate the small moments, the silly the sad, the high and low, don’t fall into the rat race trap of where you need to be, where you should be, and instead realize you’re where you need to be
• You are going to make mistakes, heck you might even fail, but there is value in those lessons. It’s not that failing is SUPER COOL, but we need to view failing less as the worst case scenario because it does happen, it happens often, and there is learning and self development that comes from it
• Find hobbies and interests and EXPLORE them 
• Prioritize your mental health, especially if you have past trauma
• Don’t forget how much power you have. You have the strength to overcome any obstacle and drive to make your dreams come true. No one said it would be easy
• Fall in love with yourself.

I'll see you fabulous, beautiful people next week for an all new in-between!

In this week's In-Between, Elizabeth wants you to get out of your own way. Sometimes we have to do hard things, make difficult choices, make sacrifices, and stick up for ourselves by having tough conversations. Today's episode offers you the tools to be able to make those same hard decisions for yourself. You could say this week's in-between's mantra could be "you are your own competition", so why not bet on you? You have the power to go after your dreams and goals. Don't let anxiety or insecurities win by holding you back. The more you believe in yourself, the easier the hard things will be, and the closer you get to your goals. Everyone deserves a place at the table, regardless of what that table is, and Elizabeth is here to remind you of that.

This week's in-between brings special guest, Meagan Thomas of Meagan O Photography, to the pod with an episode that will quiet possibly move mountains. After leaving a toxic marriage of 10+ years, Meagan took an 100-day trip around the world in her own "Eat Pray Love"-type journey. Along the way she learned what it meant to truly love yourself, inside and out. Meagan offers incredible wisdom and guidance on how you can love yourself, no matter where you are in the self-love journey. We have the most enlightening, yet sensitive conversation around your relationship to yourself and why it's the most important you will ever prioritize. It's my hope to leave you inspired to love yourself a little harder and know your worth after this episode.
