The Hidden Cost of Doing It All: Ashley Chang on Why You Deserve Support

Ashley Chang built Sundays, an executive assistant service for working parents and founders, after watching her own mother feel forced to choose between career and family. She joins us to talk about the real cost of doing it all yourself, the "mom tax," and why asking for help is actually the strategy. Ashley shares her 15-minute time and energy audit, how to delegate without guilt, and what it looks like to build a life where ambition and family don't have to compete.

Why Helping Women Helps Everyone: The Love, Lizzy Mission

You are not alone. When I was 19 years old I found myself alone and scared in a hospital in a strange city. One human made one of the hardest days of my life a little bit easier with four words: you are not alone. That particular serendipitous encounter was the first Love, Lizzy light bulb that turned on in my mind.  In this episode I am opening the door and inviting you into our little workshop. I am sharing the full origin story of this brand, the vision we are building toward, and why I believe that helping women does not just help women. It helps everyone. Share space with me as I tell the founding story of Love, Lizzy and why it started with a hospital visit at 19 that led to a merch shop, which leads to the companion hotline vision, and the Love Lizzy sacred houses. We explore (even though we think it is so obvious) why helping women is good for men, families, and entire communities, what it really looks like to build something meaningful from the bottom of the mountain, and a peek at what is coming next on the podcast. It takes $50 a night to house a woman at a safe house in Florida. You can donate to the safe house in Love, Lizzy's neighborhood if you feel called to make a donation to help women and girls.  https://www.micahsplace.org/

Healing After Miscarriage: How to Find Lightness in Your Heaviest Moments

Visit the Love, Lizzy Shop! www.lovelizzy.co/shop [www.lovelizzy.co./shop] This week I sit down with Danielle Ireland, host of Cut Your Own Bangs, for a conversation that felt like the therapy I didn't even know I needed. Danielle shares her personal experience with miscarriage and the unexpected moment of levity that found her in the hardest days of her life, and how that experience shaped the way she shows up for herself and her kids. We dig into real tools for anxiety regulation, the difference between nice and kind, how to set boundaries with yourself and your children, and how to pause before you say the thing you might regret. This one is warm, honest, and full of the kind of wisdom that sticks with you. If you have experienced pregnancy loss, please know we hold this topic with so much care. Tune in when you feel ready.

How to Choose What You Believe: Women, Rage, and the Propaganda We Were Sold

What images and narratives are we sold that have the power to shape our belief system? In this solo cast, Love, Lizzy Founder Teresa Sabatine dives into the connection between perfectionism, anxiety, and propaganda. She asks the question we don't ask enough: who built the mental movies we are living inside, and do we actually want to keep watching them? When the movie playing in your brain hijacks your nervous system, elicits an emotion, and then influences your behavior, the imagery you are using matters. A lot. In this episode we explore how propaganda from the news to television to the stories we were told about who we are supposed to be has been shaping our self-image, our value system, and our life experience, often without our awareness or consent. If you have been wrestling with anger, wanting to make decisions from your own inner knowing, or desiring to be the one who chooses her own belief system, this one is for you.

Building Strong Communities: Parenting, Leadership, and Showing Up for Your People with Sarah Wall

The Power of the Matriarch Conference: www.lovelizzy.co [www.lovelizzy.co] In this episode of the Love, Lizzy Podcast we meet up with Sarah Wall. She is an educator in Portland, Oregon, a mamma of two boys, and an all-around special human. What I thought would be a discussion on our education system turned into a deep dive on vulnerability, how the smallest actions you take today can build the strongest communities, and ways we can bring the men with us into the ever-changing landscape that is leadership in our homes. I think this might be one of our most value-packed episodes yet. If you have been feeling like you are alone carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, or that you are stuck trying to parent your kids in a social media-driven reality, there is so much wisdom in the lessons Sarah shares about working with students and parenting her own children. We paint a picture of what a flexible, resilient world, and education system can look like and ponder the necessity for values-centric, resource-sharing, compassionate communities. No matter what is happening around us, this conversation will leave you feeling like you have what you need to be an incredible human and show up for your people, even when you fumble and make mistakes. There is no perfect parent, teacher, or human. So let's lay down the pressure to be perfect and embrace the attributes that actually connect us. If you have been looking for a respite from the chaos in the world, grab a tea or put on your walking shoes and let us take you to a beautiful place of possibility and hope.
