S3 E6 | For The Women Who Build: Why Meaning Matters More Than Success

This episode is a reset—a reminder of why this podcast exists and who it’s really for.

Lizzy shares a personal reflection on the women she feels called to serve: the builders. The ones quietly creating meaningful lives through family, faith, work, and service.

She also introduces a new initiative, “Share Good, Do Good,” where every podcast download contributes $1 to a cause that supports women, along with a new way for listeners to call in and shape future episodes.

This episode ends with a heartfelt Easter message about love, sacrifice, and seeing your life—and your work—through a more meaningful lens.

If you’ve been wondering if what you’re doing matters… this one is for you.

Season 3 Episode 5 | The Science of Satisfaction (And Why You Rarely Feel It)

Have you ever finished a full day… and still felt like something was missing?

In this episode, Lizzy shares a realization she’s been sitting with for months: that so much of what we’re feeling—numbness, overwhelm, even anxiety—might come from something simple we’ve lost… natural pauses.

She reflects on how life used to have built-in rhythms—times to stop, reflect, and feel satisfaction—and how today, everything is always available, always on, always moving. And without those natural endings, we rarely take time to actually feel the life we’re living.

Lizzy shares what she’s been doing to change that—simple practices like seasonal resets, monthly focus, and capturing the moments that matter most.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, look back, and start creating a life that you don’t just live—but actually feel.

This episode wraps up Lizzy’s three-part series on preparing for missionary service.

In this conversation, Lizzy shares the realities of missionary life and the lessons she wishes she had understood before serving. Drawing from the experiences of hundreds of returned missionaries, she explores the four challenges that come up most often: navigating companionships, feeling like you’re not good enough, dealing with emotional and physical exhaustion, and learning how to connect with people.

Along the way, Lizzy shares personal stories from her mission, practical preparation ideas, and reflections on the deeper purpose of missionary work.

She also opens up about one of her biggest realizations looking back on her mission: how much joy God intended for that season of discipleship. From small miracles to simple moments of laughter and connection, Lizzy encourages future missionaries to notice the joy that exists alongside the challenges of serving the Lord.

This episode is Part Two of Lizzy’s series about serving an LDS mission.

Last week, Lizzy talked about how to know whether you should serve. In this episode, she turns to the next question: how do you actually prepare?

Lizzy shares the spiritual frameworks that shaped her own mission experience and continue to shape her discipleship today. Through scripture stories, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, she explores why God qualifies those He calls, how Jesus Christ modeled the pattern for spiritual growth, and how missionaries can learn to become instruments in God’s hands.

If you’re preparing for a mission, considering serving, or simply trying to grow closer to God, this episode offers perspective, reassurance, and a reminder that discipleship is a lifelong journey—not just an 18-month assignment.

How do you know if you should serve an LDS mission? And how do you know what God wants you to do with your life?

In this episode, I share my personal story of wrestling through the decision to serve, the spiritual principles that helped me receive personal revelation, and what I believe is the more important question everyone must answer first: To whom or to what will you give your life?

We talk about trusting God’s timing, overcoming fear and outside pressure, starting down a path even when you don’t have perfect clarity, and learning how to hear the still small voice. Whether you’re considering serving a mission, supporting someone who is, or navigating a completely different life decision, these principles apply far beyond 18 months of service.

Ultimately, this episode isn’t just about whether to go. It’s about building a relationship with God strong enough to guide every decision you’ll ever face, and trusting that when you turn your life over to Him, He will lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Four years ago, I said yes to working inside a small, innovative school... and it changed me.

In this episode, I sit down with director Matt Clayton to share what I’ve learned about mastery-based learning, closing academic gaps, math confidence, growth mindset, and raising capable, self-directed kids in a rapidly changing world.

We talk about what’s really happening in modern education, and what actually works.

If you’ve ever felt like school could be more for your child, this conversation is for you.

This conversation stayed with me.

Sharon Eubank has spent decades working in humanitarian spaces most of us will never see—and yet what she kept coming back to wasn’t scale, strategy, or perfection.

It was presence.

Trust.

Showing up with what you actually have.

We talked about how God guides us—not loudly, not all at once—but through quiet impressions that ask us to partner with Him.

We talked about rest, and why it’s not optional.

And we talked about service that doesn’t require more money, more time, or a better version of yourself—just honesty and love.

One of the most grounding reminders from this episode:

It’s really hard to mess up presence.

If you’ve been wondering what God wants from you right now…

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the idea of “doing more” or “doing it right”…

If you’re craving clarity without pressure—

This conversation is for you.

Some seasons feel like nothing is happening.

You’re showing up. You’re trying. You’re praying.

And still—it feels quiet.

The older I get, the more I’m convinced those years aren’t wasted.

They’re formative.

They’re the foundation.

In this conversation with Emily Snyder, we talk about a life that didn’t unfold the way it was supposed to—and somehow became richer because of it.

The years of waiting.

The unexpected pivots.

The moments where no one else could walk the road with her, and it became a sacred space between her and God.

Emily has worked alongside some of the most influential leaders of our time—but what moved me most was her trust in the unseen work.

The kind God does underground.

The kind that makes you steady when everything else shifts.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your years of becoming are leading anywhere…

If you’re in a season that feels quiet, slow, or misunderstood…

This episode is for you.

Nothing in God’s timing is wasted.

Not the waiting.

Not the detours.

Not you.

What does it really mean to live with faith and ambition in a world that glorifies hustle?

In this heartfelt conversation, Lizzy sits down with Julie Taylor, a writer, mom of five, and soon-to-be author, to talk about the tension between purpose and peace, control and surrender, faith and doubt. Together they unpack what it means to stay faithful while walking an unpaved path, how to build instead of burn, and why satisfaction isn’t found in achievements—but in the quiet moments when you finally let go.

You’ll learn: how to stop chasing validation, why sharing from your scars matters, and how to find beauty in the middle of the climb.

Some stories are written in quiet moments.

Others are forged in the middle of exhaustion, loss, and showing up anyway.

In this conversation with Tiffany Rosenhaun, we talk about womanhood in its truest form—

the seasons where you are holding everything together,

the nights you’re parenting alone,

the moments when life changes in ways you never planned for.

We talk about friendship that becomes a lifeline.

About faith that holds when answers don’t come quickly.

About creativity born in the margins of motherhood and grief.

And about the way women rise—again and again—when life asks more than feels fair.

This episode is a reminder that the hardest chapters often shape the most meaningful stories.

That community matters.

That vulnerability is not weakness.

And that becoming is almost always born in the unseen places.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, changed by loss, or strengthened by the women around you—

this one is for you.
