Episode 81 | Your Efforts Matter: How to Make a Difference Where You Are

What if you don't need to change the world to make a meaningful difference? As Season 3 begins, I'm sharing why I questioned whether to return to the podcast, what I've been thinking about the choices facing women today, and why I believe it's time to move beyond talking about our problems and start building something better. Through the remarkable story of Antonina Żabińska, who helped rescue hundreds of people during World War II, we'll explore what it means to use the resources, relationships, and opportunities already in front of us. Whether you're a student, a mother, or entering an entirely new season of life, this episode is an invitation to stop feeling powerless and start making a difference right where you are.

Episode 80 | If This Was My Last Episode: The Three Things I'd Want You to Know

As we close out Season 2, Lizzy shares one of her most personal episodes yet.

From opening up about her pregnancy journey and IVF at 42 to sharing the three truths she hopes every listener carries with them, this episode feels like a love letter to this community.

If there’s one thing Lizzy hopes you remember, it’s this: God is active in your life, your small acts matter more than you think, and turning toward Him daily will always lead you somewhere more fruitful.

This is a conversation about miracles, motherhood, legacy, and the things that matter most.

Episode 79 | Why People Are Choosing Not to Have Kids: What the Research Says About Family, Happiness, and Meaning

What if one of the biggest ideas modern culture has sold us about happiness is actually wrong?

In this episode, Lizzy sits down with Jenet Erickson to unpack one of the biggest cultural shifts happening right now: fewer people are getting married, fewer people are having children, and more people feel lonely, disconnected, and unsure of their purpose.

But here’s the surprising part: the research tells a very different story than what we’re hearing online.

They talk about:

– Why birth rates are declining around the world

– Why you can’t simply pay people to have kids (and why it hasn’t worked)

– What actually predicts long-term happiness and fulfillment

– Why modern culture may be leading women away from what they want most

– The real impact of marriage and motherhood on women

– Why relationships, not independence, are at the center of a meaningful life

This isn’t a surface-level conversation. It’s a deep, honest look at what we’ve been told… and what might actually be true.

Have you ever finished a full day… and still felt like something was missing?

In this episode, Lizzy shares a realization she’s been sitting with for months: that so much of what we’re feeling—numbness, overwhelm, even anxiety—might come from something simple we’ve lost… natural pauses.

She reflects on how life used to have built-in rhythms—times to stop, reflect, and feel satisfaction—and how today, everything is always available, always on, always moving. And without those natural endings, we rarely take time to actually feel the life we’re living.

Lizzy shares what she’s been doing to change that—simple practices like seasonal resets, monthly focus, and capturing the moments that matter most.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, look back, and start creating a life that you don’t just live—but actually feel.

Episode 67 | Preparing for the Realities of Missionary Life

This episode wraps up Lizzy’s three-part series on preparing for missionary service.

In this conversation, Lizzy shares the realities of missionary life and the lessons she wishes she had understood before serving. Drawing from the experiences of hundreds of returned missionaries, she explores the four challenges that come up most often: navigating companionships, feeling like you’re not good enough, dealing with emotional and physical exhaustion, and learning how to connect with people.

Along the way, Lizzy shares personal stories from her mission, practical preparation ideas, and reflections on the deeper purpose of missionary work.

She also opens up about one of her biggest realizations looking back on her mission: how much joy God intended for that season of discipleship. From small miracles to simple moments of laughter and connection, Lizzy encourages future missionaries to notice the joy that exists alongside the challenges of serving the Lord.

Episode 66 | Preparing for an LDS Mission: Faith, Readiness, and Discipleship

This episode is Part Two of Lizzy’s series about serving an LDS mission.

Last week, Lizzy talked about how to know whether you should serve. In this episode, she turns to the next question: how do you actually prepare?

Lizzy shares the spiritual frameworks that shaped her own mission experience and continue to shape her discipleship today. Through scripture stories, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, she explores why God qualifies those He calls, how Jesus Christ modeled the pattern for spiritual growth, and how missionaries can learn to become instruments in God’s hands.

If you’re preparing for a mission, considering serving, or simply trying to grow closer to God, this episode offers perspective, reassurance, and a reminder that discipleship is a lifelong journey—not just an 18-month assignment.

Episode 65 | How to Know If You Should Serve a Mission 

How do you know if you should serve an LDS mission? And how do you know what God wants you to do with your life?

In this episode, I share my personal story of wrestling through the decision to serve, the spiritual principles that helped me receive personal revelation, and what I believe is the more important question everyone must answer first: To whom or to what will you give your life?

We talk about trusting God’s timing, overcoming fear and outside pressure, starting down a path even when you don’t have perfect clarity, and learning how to hear the still small voice. Whether you’re considering serving a mission, supporting someone who is, or navigating a completely different life decision, these principles apply far beyond 18 months of service.

Ultimately, this episode isn’t just about whether to go. It’s about building a relationship with God strong enough to guide every decision you’ll ever face, and trusting that when you turn your life over to Him, He will lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Episode 53 | Doing It Afraid: Faith, Fear & Finding Your Voice

Hello friends. It’s your friend Lizzy, and today’s episode is Holy Ground.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, insecurity, imposter syndrome, or wondered if God still sees you—this conversation will feel like a deep breath.

Today I sit down with the incredible artist and songwriter Ashley Hess.

Her music has moved so many of us, but what I loved most about this conversation is how honest and unpolished it was in the best possible way.

We talk about:

• The surprising truth about fear and calling

• Why your insecurities might actually be pointing toward your purpose

• The story behind her song Yet—born in a moment of deep questioning

• How God meets us in our honesty, not our perfection

• Why vulnerability builds the kind of community our souls crave

• And what it means to follow Jesus when you don’t feel qualified

This episode is an invitation to stop waiting until you feel ready and start trusting that God can use you exactly where you are—questions and all.

If you haven't listened to Ashley’s song Yet yet, go play it after this. Let it meet you right where you’re standing today.

I’m so glad you’re here. 💛

Episode 52 | Creating Joy at Home: Small Shifts, Lasting Impact

There are some conversations you walk into knowing they’re going to shift something in you—and this was one of them.

Sitting across from Ralphie Jacobs of @simplyonpurpose felt like sitting with quiet, steady, heaven-backed royalty. In this conversation we talk about gentle parenting, how to make the holidays magical without spending a dime, and why motherhood—even in the mess—is one of God’s greatest gifts.

We dive into:

• How to actually enjoy your kids more
• Why looking for what’s going right changes their behavior (and your heart)
• Simple, free ideas to make the holidays feel special
• Social media, callings from God, and knowing when “enough” is enough
• How to teach your children Jesus by being more like Him in your home

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or worried you’re “ruining your kids,” this episode will feel like a deep breath and a gentle reset.

I’m so glad you’re here. 💛

Welcome back to a Sunday Sermon. Today we’re talking about something that has the power to reshape your entire life: your true identity.

Through scripture and stories—from Moses to Mary to Paul—we explore how God names us by who we eternally are, while the adversary tries to pull us down into labels rooted in weakness, fear, or temporary struggle.

If you’ve ever wondered who you really are in God’s eyes, or if you’ve been carrying labels that shrink you, this episode will speak right to your heart.

Together we’ll walk through six simple practices to help you hear Him more clearly, release false identities, and step into the divine strength already inside you.

Listen, take a breath, and let God remind you who you’ve always been.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Episode 50 | Rethinking Women’s Health: Simplicity, Stress, and Sustainable Change

If you’re a woman who is doing all the things—working, parenting, serving, trying to stay “healthy”—but still feels exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or “off,” this episode is for you.

Today I’m joined by a powerhouse panel from Ampelis Health to talk about the real state of women’s health and what’s actually working:

• Dr. Jessica Jones – Psychiatrist & Medical Director at Ampelis Health
• Tanna Fox – Internationally Certified nutritionist
• Robbie Harmon – President of Ampelis and co-creator of their new Core7 supplement

We talk honestly about why women are more stressed than ever, how that stress shows up in our bodies and brains, and why so much of the advice we’ve been given (hello, intermittent fasting) was built on research that didn’t even include women.

Episode 49 | The Heart God Wants: Why Perfection Was Never Required: Sunday Sermon #3

Welcome back to Lizzy's Sunday Sermon series.💛

What if the only thing God needs from you… is your heart?

In this Sunday Sermon, Lizzy reflects on the story of David and the truth that God doesn’t measure us the way the world does. He isn’t looking for perfection, performance, or qualifications—He’s looking for willingness.

Through personal experience and spiritual insight, this episode is an invitation to stop striving to “be enough” and instead bring what you have—even if it feels broken.

Because that’s all He’s ever asked for.

Episode 48 | Why Your Child’s Anxiety Isn’t the Problem

What if anxiety isn’t something to avoid… but something to understand?

In this powerful conversation, Lizzy sits down with researcher Melanie Jensen to unpack one of the biggest lies many of us grew up believing—that some people just “aren’t math people.” And why that belief may be holding you (and your kids) back more than you realize.

Together, they explore:

Why anxiety isn’t the problem—but a signal

The truth about “math brains” (and why they don’t exist)

How low performance actually creates anxiety—not the other way around

What to do when your child (or you) feels stuck, overwhelmed, or avoidant

Simple, practical ways to build confidence by doing hard things

This episode will completely shift how you see learning, parenting, and your own potential.

If you’ve ever thought “I’m just not good at that”—this conversation might change everything.

Quotes:

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words. Victor Hugo

Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. Khalil Gibran

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks, and invents. Ludwig van Beethoven

Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue. Plato

Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself. Henry Ward Beecher

Music has the power to provide spiritual nourishment. It has healing power. It has the power to facilitate worship; it allows us to contemplate the [Savior’s] Atonement…Music provides power for us to express prayerful thoughts and bear testimony of sacred truths. Russell M. Nelson

Children can learn the doctrine when they’re learning to sing just as much as they can learn the doctrine in a class. Russell M. Nelson

Primary songs are not simply a nice part of our religious tradition. They are sermons for disciples of Jesus Christ, testimonies to the truthfulness of the restored gospel, and prayers set to music. Sacred music can shine the Light of Christ on the hearer and can pour into the heart of the singer. Tracy Y. Browning

Episode 46 | Why You Feel Exhausted Trying to Be “Good Enough”

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you do… Is it still not enough?

In this honest and faith-filled conversation, Amber Dawn Pierce shares her journey from striving and self-doubt to peace, purpose, and a deeper relationship with God. After years of trying to “earn” her worth—and a season of anxiety and physical collapse—she discovered a life-changing truth: we were never meant to do this alone.

This episode is a gentle invitation to let go of the pressure, release the checklist, and come back to a relationship with Christ that is rooted in grace, not performance. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or spiritually stuck—this one is for you.

Episode 45 | Sunday Sermon #1: What It Really Means to Be a Peacemaker

This episode marks the beginning of Lizzy’s new Sunday Sermon series—a short, intentional space to reconnect with God and reflect on what matters most.

In this first message, Lizzy explores the idea of peacemaking—not just as avoiding conflict, but as something deeper and more transformative. She shares how the concept of shalom has expanded her understanding of peace into something more whole, more healing, and more Christlike.

Through personal reflection, spiritual insight, and ideas inspired by recent study, Lizzy invites you to consider where you’re holding onto resentment, where you feel justified in your hurt, and what it might look like to choose a different way.

This episode is an invitation to soften your heart, seek reconciliation, and step into a deeper kind of peace.

You’ll get: simple prompts, scriptures to study, and a fresh lens for tricky relationships.

Episode 44 | How to Trust Yourself (Even When You Feel Unsure)

I didn’t like the idea that my life was being ruled by something that happened to me. Then I met Slade Combs—a former Madison Avenue creative who spent 20+ years decoding fear to move billion-dollar markets—and this conversation flipped everything. Slade explains how one unconscious childhood fear quietly drives our choices…and how inverting it reveals a lifelong, portable purpose that fuels clarity, courage, and real momentum.

In this episode, I share why I delayed my season launch to apply this work, how it’s changing my home and my work, and simple ways you can start activating your purpose today.

What you’ll learn

• The single fear that hijacks decisions (and why it doesn’t feel like fear)

• How “inversion” exposes a neurological pathway to your purpose

• Why purpose is a virtue that travels with you through every role

• How to spot self-sabotage as a safety mechanism

• Small daily reps to build a purpose-driven life

If this helped you, subscribe, leave a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share it with a friend who’s in a season of transition. 💛

Season 2 Episode 1 | When the World Feels Heavy: A Conversation on Faith and Clarity

Season 2 is here—and Lizzy is starting with a deeply personal “State of the Union.”

In this episode, she reflects on the past few months and the sense that something in the world—and in all of us—has shifted. She shares why reflection has become such a powerful practice in her life, how it brings clarity in uncertain seasons, and what it’s taught her about moving forward with intention.

Lizzy also opens up about the heaviness so many are feeling right now, the importance of knowing where you stand, and how to stay grounded in truth, faith, and purpose when things feel chaotic.

More than anything, this episode is a reminder that you’re not here by accident. You’re allowed to feel the weight of what’s happening—and still move forward with courage, clarity, and hope.

Season 2, Episode 43 | When Should Kids Get a Phone? (And How to Set Boundaries That Work)

Technology isn’t going anywhere—but that doesn’t mean it gets to take over your family.

In this episode, Lizzy is joined by Andrea Davis of Better Screen Time for a practical and honest conversation about parenting in a world of phones, social media, and constant access. Andrea shares her own experience of getting it wrong at first, and what it looked like to reset, repair, and move forward with intention.

Together, they talk about how to set boundaries with your kids without damaging the relationship, how to know when your child is actually ready for a device, and what red flags to watch for along the way.

This episode is full of simple, actionable ideas—but more than anything, it’s a reminder that you are still the parent, you still have a voice, and it’s never too late to lead with clarity and confidence.

In this season one finale of Lean In With Lizzy, Lizzy steps back to reflect on the journey that built a top 100 podcast—without a single dollar spent on ads. Forty episodes in, this show has become more than a podcast. It’s a movement of women choosing purpose over performance, presence over pressure, and truth over noise.

She opens up about what worked, what surprised her, and what’s coming next. This episode is packed with clarity, conviction, and a vision for where we go from here.

Plus, Lizzy introduces a simple summer challenge designed to help you reconnect with what matters most. Season two launches in August. Until then, this finale is your reminder that tiny choices shape big lives, and that you’re more ready than you think.

In this solo episode of Lean In With Lizzy, Lizzy opens up her personal “Lizzy’s Library” to share the books that have shaped how she thinks, leads, and lives. As the second-to-last episode of season one, it’s a heartfelt conversation that blends inspiration with practical wisdom on how stories can guide a bold, meaningful life.

Lizzy highlights Ishmael, or In the Depths by E.D.E.N. Southworth — a forgotten classic about courage and perseverance — alongside The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, a powerful invitation to slow down and reclaim what matters most. She also dives into the Emma M. Lion series by Beth Brower, celebrating humor, authenticity, and rich friendships, before rounding out the list with the 1828 edition of Noah Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language, exploring how words can anchor truth and faith in a noisy world.

Through personal stories of reading alone in a childhood treehouse to simplifying her modern life, Lizzy reflects on why these books still spark courage, curiosity, and purpose. She reminds listeners that growth is never a quick chapter — but a story built page by page.

Whether you’re a lifelong reader or just looking for more depth, this episode is for anyone seeking inspiration to live with greater intention and meaning.

In this solo episode of Lean In With Lizzy, Lizzy kicks off her first ever “Ask Me Anything” segment by responding to a vulnerable question from a listener named Julie, who shares, “I’m 57. I feel called to photography. I bought an expensive camera, and I haven’t touched it. Why am I so scared?”

What follows is one of Lizzy’s most empowering episodes to date - a masterclass on how to work with fear rather than against it. She breaks down why fear always shows up when you’re stepping into growth, and why it isn’t a stop sign, but a signal that something important is stirring.

Lizzy shares a practical decision making checklist to help listeners clarify their next steps, along with personal stories of her own moments of uncertainty; from starting a faith-based blog after law school to re-entering the public space after years away. Through it all, she offers powerful reminders: fear means you care, perfection is not the goal, and momentum only comes after you act.

Whether you’re starting a business, a creative pursuit, or a new chapter in your life, this episode is for anyone standing at the edge of something meaningful and wondering if they’re ready.

In this solo episode of Lean In With Lizzy, Lizzy opens up about a humbling experience at a women’s conference that left her feeling small, unseen, and on the outside looking in. What started as a moment of quiet insecurity turned into one of the most powerful personal lessons she’s learned this year: you are meant to be a vessel, not a VIP.

With her perfect blend of honesty and encouragement, Lizzy explores the difference between seeking validation and living with purpose. She offers practical steps for becoming a vessel; someone who carries light, serves with intention, and pours into others without needing applause. Drawing on stories of faith, motherhood, and everyday wisdom (including a one-liner from her daughter that might just change your mindset), Lizzy reminds listeners that true impact doesn’t come from being seen, but from being available.

This episode is for any woman who has ever felt left out, invisible, or overlooked — and needs a gentle reminder that heaven rewards availability, not visibility.

In this episode of Lean In With Lizzy, Lizzy sits down with educator, speaker, and belonging advocate Scharman Grimmer for a powerful conversation about parenting, mentorship, and healing the epidemic of loneliness in today’s rising generation.

Drawing from personal experiences and research-backed insights, Scharman shares why every child needs a “Trusted Five” network of adults and how these relationships shape resilience, confidence, and emotional health. Together, they explore how to recognize early signs of relational struggles, why cross-generational connection matters more than ever, and simple ways to create authentic belonging at home, at school, and in the community.
