Liz’s podcasts focuses on well being and growth. She shares vulnerably but still holds a quiet confidence. She makes you feel like a big sister you never had.

In her episode “Does Everything Happen for a Reason?” She explores how we can frame our thinking when making big, scary decisions.

She reflects when you ask the universe for something, its usually one of these 3 responses: “yes”, “later” or “something better is coming your way”.

Another quote that resonated with me is “rejection is redirection”. What we can do is to be “ready to receive it.”
