Episode 82 | The Hidden Cost of Success: What Matters More Than Achievement?

What will matter most when you look back on your life at 85? I'm joined by Yasmeen Lari, Pakistan's first female architect, for an extraordinary conversation about ambition, motherhood, success, and the things we sometimes sacrifice while trying to prove ourselves. After reaching the top of her profession, Yasmeen shifted her life's work toward humanitarian architecture and empowering women in underserved communities. She shares what she's learned about ego, the cost of career success, raising children, and finding deeper purpose through service. This is a conversation for every woman wondering how to use her gifts without losing sight of what matters most.

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.

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.

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.

Episode 78 | Is Motherhood Worth It?: What I Learned From My Mom

Is motherhood worth it?

In this episode, Lizzy sits down with her mom, Carrie Bestor Henderson, for a deeply personal conversation about motherhood, and how it shapes you as a woman and why it might even make you the best version of yourself.

They talk about how to love motherhood, how to let it change you, and how your perspective about it might mature across generations, seasons, and expectations.
From the hard moments to the sacred ones, this is a raw conversation between mother and daughter about the real beauty that can be found in one of the most important roles on earth.

And make sure you listen to the very end… when Lizzy shares something with her mom that left her, and might leave you, speechless. 👀
