Overstimulated & Finding Your Hype People 32:55

לפני 21 ימים32:55

32:55

Giggles, never ending to-do lists, and the chaos of home ownership - I kick things off all over the place. Rest assured, you'll be laughing with me (and might even be able to relate). On top of the life updates and ridiculousness of my overwhelming to-do list, I also stress the importance of having "hype" people in your life. You never know when you're going to run into Ryan Seacrest, then your friends tries to give him your podcast Instagram handle. Did she succeed? You'll have to listen to find out. The main point is no matter where you are on your journey, you need people in your corner hyping you up, believing in you, and rooting you on because it's hard carrying everything yourself. Those special people deserve a callout because we'd be lost without ya. You have the magic, and it's ok to let someone put it on spotlight.

Sometimes It's The Hope That Carries You Through 31:05

לפני 5 weeks31:05

31:05

Good things come to those that wait, and we're is BACK with an episode that will leave you giggling and loving yourself a little bit more. This is one of first episodes in a while where I felt like myself again. From Goodwill dopamine rushes, the house finally coming together, teases about me and Ashleighanna's Norway episode (and our next European vacay), and the most hilarious single girl hijinks video to date, there is quite a lot to giggle over. We also get into my favorite past time, musings on living as your authentic self, embracing your vulnerability, and why hope is the most powerful thing you can hold on to at times. This episode made me smile - I feel like myself again, but this time better, more capable, more sure, more me. I hope (see what I did there) you enjoy it as much as I did.

Hey hey hey! I'm back feeling more like myself than I have in months. What a fabulous feeling! This week, I'm hoping to make you giggle about my life as a cartoon character, and also empower you that no matter how tough the journey gets, you will make it out. It's been a difficult past few months and my journey towards healing continues to remind me of the magic of what it means to truly live. Recorded on the spring equinox, I discuss the significance of new beginnings, the importance of community, and the sheer wonder of that we get to exist at all. I share a little bit about my Norway trip, but I'm saving that for a full recap episode - all I will say is I got the biggest sign I'm on the right path. What great reassurance can you ask for? I'm also talking about my amusing challenges as a single, independence-driven woman. Ahem, I almost didn't make it hanging a curtain rod. HA! This week's episode is all about the importance of choosing oneself, seeking joy in the small and big moments, and always betting on yourself. I mean, what better person than yourself? 00:00 Welcome Back and Life Updates 00:59 Embracing the Spring Equinox 04:38 Community and Support Systems 06:44 Travel Goals and New Adventures 14:45 Home Improvement Challenges 21:54 Finding Magic in Life 30:42 Conclusion and Future Plans Connect with me: https://in-between.co @in.betweenpod on Instagram @elizabethcheney_ on Instagram @theinbetweenpodcast on TikTok The In-Between Podcast on YouTube…

In-Between: Winter Wonderlands 18:00

It’s snowing in Georgia again! My inner child can’t contain itself, so that’s the reason the episode is late. I am who I am! Speaking of snow, we’re still in the thick of winter. Animals are still hibernating. Crops haven’t begun to sprout. It got me thinking, sometimes we need to hibernate too. When we enter a slower season, where there’s only so much we can deal with, sometimes we need to “hibernate.” Handle what you can handle. Focus on what you can focus on. I share more of my musings on this in the episode, as well as the importance of prioritizing your own happiness is the most important thing you can do for yourself. (Sometimes choosing you means hibernating. Now you’re starting to get my point!) That’s the deep stuff…I’m also sharing my personal goals for this year, my neighborhood hero escapade in the snow, and my upcoming trip to Norway.

We close the episode out with catching-up on pop culture moments, including my thoughts on the Luigi United Healthcare incident, Martha Stewart's documentary, the drama surrounding 'It Ends With Us,' and a glowing review of the 'Wicked' movie.

Happy July! Thank you for the holiday break, but I'm back baby. Your girl also needs that good juju, so send some my way. (more on that later) Here's looking at this week's episode: Where I've been and where I'm going NEW MUSIC!

Ahem, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, and Kesha!!! Health updates! I have kept this mum, but I had a little scare but everything is good! I recap what was going on, what led me there (lol), and the outcome! Also, the story on how we even got here is worth the listen. HA!

In-Between: Sexuality is a Spectrum 55:34

לפני 46 weeks55:34

55:34

To close Pride Month out with a bang, I asked my good friend, Alex Armijo, to come back on the pod and discuss a topic that puts me a little out of my comfort zone.... sexuality. Dun dun DUN! One might blame Chappel Roan, but this episode was inspired by the question, what does queer even mean? Alex is an artist, DEI thought leader, a disability, LGBTQIA+, and human rights advocate. Basically, one of my favorite people to discuss these types of topics with. We also dive into Inside Out 2 (hehe). Here's a look at what we discuss: Sexuality is a spectrum Chapell Roan and her ownership of her queer identity and how that inspires others What does queer even mean? Alex and I share our first experiences with "sexuality" Labels and how they can help or hurt.... What "coming out" represents Finding your communities - they're out there! No matter what, who you love and what you enjoy are perfect and no one should ever take that away <3 This episode was scary for me to do, but sexuality isn't something to be ashamed of. This is for anyone who may be scared, confused, or needing a reminder that they are perfect just the way they are. Let your freak flag fly, baby!
