In this episode, Elizabeth shares how she is navigating life after the hard parts—the grief, the waiting, the heaviness. She opens up about the subtle, messy, and deeply personal process of moving forward, not through radical reinvention, but by embracing curiosity, rest, joy, and simplicity. Elizabeth offers a gentle, encouraging reminder that healing doesn't have to be linear, and the next chapter doesn't need a title yet.

What you'll learn:

• Why moving forward doesn’t have to be a grand transformation
• How to embrace joy without guilt after seasons of grief or waiting
• The power of curiosity in rediscovering yourself
• Why redefining yourself is a continuous, evolving process
• Simple, meaningful ways to reconnect with your authentic self
• How to find peace in the “in-between” seasons of life

Questions answered in this episode:

• What does it mean to move forward when you’re no longer in survival mode?
• How can we navigate the “waiting room” phase of life without losing ourselves?
• What does joy look like when it's no longer tied to achievement or productivity?
• How can we build a life that acknowledges loss without being defined by it?
• What if we don’t know what the next big chapter looks like yet?

After the amazing response to our fireside chat around Mother’s Day, I'm doing a summer series, and I am so excited for this! The theme for this first Fireside Chat is "Life Pivots." I'm hosting this conversation on Friday, July 11th 5pm Pacific Time, with two special guests who've navigated this terrain. We'll discuss the identity challenges that come with childlessness and how to rebuild a life that feels meaningful when Plan A falls through…And I think it’s conversations like this that our community needs.
