Description

Slip on your factory apron and dim the lights - this week we’re diving into a glow-up that turned deadly. In Glow Up Gone Wrong, we’re telling the haunting, infuriating, and unbelievably important story of the Radium Girls; the young women who were hired to paint watch dials with luminous paint… and were told it was perfectly safe. Spoiler: it was not. From “lip, dip, paint” to corporate cover-ups, we unpack how these glowing girls lit up more than clock faces, they sparked one of the biggest workplace safety battles in American history. It’s equal parts girl gang resilience, Gilded Age greed, and courtroom drama that will have you yelling at your speakers. It’s glamorous. It’s grim. It glows in the dark. And trust us, this shine comes with a warning label.

Cue the Chaos

In this personal episode, Liz steps into the spotlight to share the layered story behind the mic. From growing up as a military kid constantly redefining “home,” to juggling life as a wife, mom, stage manager, and IT specialist, she unpacks the winding path that shaped her identity. With honesty and grit, she opens up about her journey to sobriety after struggling with painkiller addiction, and what it took to rebuild her life from the inside out. Between school drop-offs, tech troubleshooting, and late-night reality TV binges, she reflects on the tension between ambition and the everyday grind - finding meaning in the mundane while embracing her Sagittarius spirit and runner’s mindset. It’s a story about resilience, reinvention, and learning to laugh (often with a Diet Coke in hand) while keeping up with both real life and reality TV drama.
