Well, this week Elizabeth is offering a couple recommendations of how to nudge topics into a safe area when you start to feel it veering out of control. The secret is preparation. Wishing you a drama free Thanksgiving & best of luck!

Elizabeth needed to take a moment and process all the wisdom and inspiration her guests shared the last two episodes. So, today, we’re doing a little debrief in the car, like after you go see a speaker or performer and you spend the drive home talking it over with the people you shared it with. Monica from Soulful Fit Club (Episode 73) and Jade of Maven & Muse Media (Episode 74) brought it – we know you agree because we’ve seen your feedback and see you loved them too. This episode, let’s revisit a few of the gems they dropped during their visits.

Elizabeth’s got a fantastic guest this week – it’s Jade from Maven & Muse Media. Jade’s work as a social media manager and content creator is influenced by her world view and how she champions collaboration over competition and she encourages all of us to find our “zone of genius” to bring the things only we can bring into being. Such a great, inspiring conversation ranging from awkward celebrity sightings to how to endure the messy middle of any transition process and using the ripple effect on social media to increase joy.  And a Runaway Bride reference thrown in, because, why not?

We’re mixing it up a little for this week’s episode – Elizabeth welcomed her favorite (and soon to be yours) Italian Taurus, Monica Peneku of The Soulful Fit Club to talk all things empty nest, feeling sober curious, and their shared love of systems. Tune in for a funny and inspiring conversation that runs the gamut from when it’s a good time to sit in a space of gratitude to the ill health effects of Night Beers and pizza.

It’s spooky season, Friends, and Elizabeth’s embracing her Practical Magic Era. If you’ve neglected to read the 1995 book by Alice Hoffman and haven’t seen the 1998 cinema classic by the same name, that’s a life deficiency you need to correct. ASAP. Once you’ve tasted the life available to you during your crone stage, you won’t ever look back.

Having recently finished Adam Grant’s book, Think Again, Elizabeth is ready to admit a few of the beliefs and opinions she’s reexamined, and may have been wrong about. From Leonard Cohen to matcha tea, the conversation takes a bit of a rambling route through her mind.

What was the first thing Elizabeth did when her nest emptied? Packed her bags and headed to Canada. No kidding. It was just a vacation though, not a relocation. In this episode she recounts how this initial outing was different from trips the last 20+ years and how she’s getting clear on what she actually wants to do and how she’s going to do it.

It’s all been building to this, from the moment Elizabeth’s kids were born, it all leads to the fabled empty nest. And here she finds herself, at least for the moment, no kids at home and retired from the active parenting job that’s consumed so much energy and headspace for the last 20+ years. Time to raise that parenting jersey to the rafters.

From the retirement of tennis icons to the Quiet Quitting phenom to whether we, as a society, have overcommitted to neutral décor in our homes, Elizabeth’s talking about what’s caught her eye in the last couple weeks – outside of the big stuff. Like, are men with two families logistical geniuses? No, Esquire magazine, they are not and Elizabeth's here to set you straight.

It’s all about kings in this week’s episode. From King Charles III to The King (Elvis) performing at Elizabeth’s vow renewal ceremony in Las Vegas, we’re talking royalty. And Sin City.
