70. Messy, Raw, and Real: Digging into Divorce, Raising Teenagers, and Relationships

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everyone is going through a lot these days and it takes courage to bring it to the surface and start to dig through it.  Sometimes this untangling of thoughts and feelings is just what we need to find clarity and strength. In a departure from our usual episodes, Lee and I sit down to have an honest, hard conversation about the struggles of raising teenagers, navigating life as a single mom and finding acceptance in unconventional relationships. Tune in as we get vulnerable discussing fears, strong feelings, and shedding a few tears along the way. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3 Key takeaways from this podcast include:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Being a parent is an emotional time. You’ll have worries and doubts at every stage, but all you can do is be the best parent you can.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Be authentic. It is easy to doubt yourself. Choose to engage with the hard work that comes from sifting through your thoughts and feelings to find your true self. Use courage to live as your true self. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">A good cry goes a long way. Never underestimate the power of letting those emotions out in order to find the way forward. </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be Powerful with Liz & Lee, formerly Hilliard Studio Podcast, is focused on helping you find your inner power and for us to share our thoughts on society, culture, and current events.
