Napkin Notes with Elizabeth Evans – Détails, épisodes et analyse

If you’re looking to make a change - whether it’s to transition your career, step away from your 9-5, or spend more time on your passion, this episode is your tangible and emotional blueprint!

Today, I’m sitting down with Olivia Adriance: Recipe Developer and Content Creator with a loyal community of 1.3 million healthy, food lovers. Her flavorful recipes that are gluten, refined sugar, and dairy free are a go-to of mine on weeknights when I don’t feel like dealing with a lot of dishes, because most of her recipes are a one-pot meal! What more can you ask for!

In this episode, Olivia and I mostly focus on her journey from corporate to entrepreneurship. After quitting her job as an Accountant with a Big Four Firm to pursue content creation, she was met with a lot of identity and external pressure challenges. Tune in to find out how she overcame these obstacles to ultimately create her own lane in the digital media space.

We chat about:

• How she got the guts to quit her accounting job and start creating what she calls her initial ‘cringe’ content 
• What is a ‘Case of the Delulu’ and why YOU need it, too
• Find out what your Quit Style is (Are you more like me or more like Olivia?!)
• Why her viral moments turned into an actual community 
• Why her diet is her secret behind her mermaid hair

Olivia is an inspiration to go for your dreams - and maybe make a healthy + tasty meal along the way :)

Welcome to the Napkin Notes Podcast! I’m Elizabeth, and I’m so glad you’re here!! 

In this inaugural episode, we’re touching on the heartbeat of the show: Finding yourself in adulthood looks a lot like getting back to who we were as a child - and what two things can really hinder us from going for those dreams.

You’ll hear a little bit about how I started my podcast production agency in 2019, what apple trees can teach us about time well spent, and why my mom’s foyer in 1988 made a ‘remarkable impression.’

This space is all about reflecting back so we can move forward … boldly. And sharing the stories of those who have gone before us. I hope you find your place here quickly, because I’m so glad to have you. 

We don’t know today what yesterday’s childhood dream may turn into for our reality tomorrow. But what do you say we find out?

If you’ve followed Cleere Reaves, who you probably know as CleerelyStated, on Instagram for even just 5 minutes, you know she has the gift of putting into words what God is laying on our hearts. From almost a collective, societal perspective! I don’t know how, but she does. It is a miraculous thing.

And my conversation with her felt like her writing coming to life. If you’re ready for a girl’s girl kind of conversation, wrapped with God’s Truth about who HE says you are, and also feels kind of like a calming hug because someone GETS you, then signed, sealed delivered - this episode is yours.

In my chat with Cleere, we cover:

• Why obedience is really an invitation and privilege in who you get to become
• Why it’s important to be courageous twice
• Why anger can be a hard emotion for women to access
• The difference between a peacemaker and a peacekeeper
• How our biggest regrets are not seeking out our full potential of our giftings 

I hope you have a big smile on your face after listening to this. Because I know I sure did after having this conversation.

If you are feeling stuck in the middle of a season of TRANSITION, this episode is about to be your best friend.

I had the privilege of sitting down with pastor, author, and writer: Craig Cooney. But you probably know him as DailyProphetic on Instagram!

Craig has a gift to bring God’s Word into our present day lives - and delivers this through Scripturally backed encouragement and Spirit led insights (and oh yeah, he’s from Ireland!). In this episode, we focus on 4 things that keep us feeling *stuck* in our current position, and what exactly to do about it. 

From Scripture to personal stories, this episode is truly a moving conversation. 

Tune in to hear how to take your next, best step - and get unstuck in your life.

Ready for some decorating tips, funny wedding planning stories, and advice on perfecting the art of the pivot - well you're in the right place. Today on the podcast is Mary Hollis Huddleston, previously known on Instagram as Mrs Southern Social.

Mary Hollis is a Nashville native, previous owner of the event rental company, Please Be Seated, and author of 2 books: Without a Hitch and Piece of Cake. Her brand is all about hosting and entertaining without the hassle. 

What I love about Mary Hollis and this conversation is that it lays out how someone can take a passion for something, in this case: hosting, and turn it into so many different creative avenues. 

From being a wedding planner, to owning an event rental business, to now authoring fiction books based on her funny life experiences - Mary Hollis is the epitome of creating your own lane with your creativity.
