In this heartfelt solo episode of By Chance, Elizabeth opens up about the tender reality of being in an emotional in-between space. She had a different topic planned—but instead, she chose to show up exactly as she is. No sugarcoating. No pretending. Just real talk about the loneliness, the inner questioning, and the quiet doubts that surface in the messy middle of life. If you’ve been feeling a little off lately or wondering if you’re doing enough, this episode is here to remind you: you are not alone.

You’ll hear:

• Why life doesn’t always feel like sunshine and joy, even after beautiful experiences
• What it means to let things be messy instead of trying to fix them
• How emotional fog and creative burnout show up (and how to name it)
• The reality of working from home, running a business, and feeling isolated
• What small rituals can ground you during tough seasons
• Why rest, prayer, and gentle self-compassion matter more than ever
• A loving reminder that this, too, shall pass

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.
