1312: Feel Like You're Drowning? You Still Have to Swim

Episode Summary: In this powerful solo episode, Elizabeth gets real about what it means to feel like you're drowning—in grief, in overwhelm, in apathy—and why that doesn't mean you get to stop. With raw stories from parenting, business, and everyday life, she dismantles the lies we believe when we're stuck and reminds us that swimming doesn't require strength—it just requires movement.

Whether you're spiraling in "I don't care" or paralyzed by "I don't know what to do," this episode will call you up—not out—and show you exactly what it looks like to keep going when you're not sure you can.
