    166. Aging & Expectations | Taking Up Space, Busting Myths, and Realizing Love is Logic

    When you imagine your 60s and 70s, do you picture yourself on the couch eating twinkies and watching TV for your final days? Well, Liz thought so too! Turns out, there’s so much more to do than we think. It’s not too late to start a new hobby, change your mind about your values, connect with new people, and so much more. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Let’s get curious about aging as a woman, bust some myths around expectations, and find excitement in what’s to come!    Some key takeaways from this episode include: Stay true to yourself as you age. Aging comes with societal expectations, but embracing your authentic self—rather than conforming—leads to a more fulfilling life in every aspect.  Reflect on your values and politics in our ever-changing American society. Politics, discrimination, and personal integrity all shape how we navigate aging. Regularly evaluating your beliefs and relationships ensures they align with your true purpose. Question standards and take up space! Many women have unconsciously minimized themselves to fit societal norms. Challenging these expectations allows you to live more freely and impact the world in a meaningful way.    MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

    165. The Truth About Cardio | Do These Moves to Improve Your Cardiovascular Health and Decrease Stress

    Cardio is essential for heart health, but do we really need high-impact workouts like running to get the benefits? In this episode, we break down common misconceptions about cardiovascular fitness and share how the Hilliard Studio Method prioritizes heart health without running or intense impact. We also discuss the importance of understanding cortisol levels, how to choose workouts that support your overall well-being, and why movement should be fun and sustainable. Tune in to learn four low-impact exercises that will get your heart pumping—without the stress!    Links mentioned: Join us for an HSM workout online! Watch Liz’s segment on ABC News Live   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Cardiovascular health doesn’t require high-impact workouts—walking and low-impact exercises can be just as effective. It’s getting warm again, so get outside and get your body moving! All that running you’re doing might be causing more harm than good. Understanding cortisol levels is crucial, as certain workouts - like running - can elevate stress and negatively affect your nervous system.  Exercise should be fun and playful—prioritizing joyful movement helps you stay consistent and improve overall well-being. Infuse more fun into your workouts by changing up your environment, playing nostalgic songs, or seeing how long you can hold a tough move.   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

    164. Decluttering Your Home and Your Mind with Anne Steppe from Step by Steppe Professional Organizing

    Anne Steppe is on a mission to simplify spaces so that her clients can live well with less: less clutter, less chaos, and less stress. We could not be more on board with this mission! In this episode, she shares with us the biggest things that make an impact on the amount of clutter in your home and how you can implement those things today. Plus, she shares her own experience of downsizing from a 4,000 square foot home to a 2-bedroom apartment and getting rid of sentimental clutter to do so. If you’re on a decluttering journey yourself, this episode is for you!   As the Owner of Step by Steppe Professional Organizing for over 15 years, Anne has worked with clients in and around the Charlotte area to help them systematize their spaces to enhance their lives and wellbeing. She empowers her clients to live into the vision they have for their homes, lives, and businesses by organizing in ways that create efficiency, fuel productivity and spark creativity.    Connect with Anne: Website Instagram Facebook   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Even if the clutter in your home “doesn’t bother you,” studies show it actually does. Anne dives into studies showing clutter’s immediate impact on your heart rate, breathing, and energy levels. You might’ve heard the “one in, one out rule” for keeping clutter under control, but Anne’s experience shows we have way more stuff than we realize. She actually suggests for every one item you bring into the home, you should get rid of three items to make a dent in your home’s clutter. Deep breaths! Clutter does not just impact your family in the here and now. When we eventually pass on, all of our stuff gets left behind for our kids and grandkids to deal with. Be intentional about the legacy you want to leave behind.   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

    163. What It’s Really Like Working With Your Partner | The Juicy Details of Our Working Relationship

    Working with your partner can be really challenging, but we started out as colleagues before we became a couple, so it feels very second nature to us! In this episode, we share how we balance life and work together, our boundaries around affection at work, and how we think gender impacts our working relationship.   Some key takeaways from this episode include: There aren’t a ton of boundaries that we have to differentiate work “us” from life “us,” but one of them is limiting our physical affection with each other while we’re in the studio.  When it comes to talking about work outside of work, we let that conversation flow freely and don’t feel like we need to limit it. We’re both very passionate about and invested in Hilliard Studio Method, so it’s fun to share our ideas and thoughts as they come up in real time. Even though we are not business partners, we respect each other’s roles in the company and value what each other has to say. If you’re going into business with your romantic partner, it’s crucial that you know your roles in the company and respect that you each bring something great to the table.   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

    162. Healthy Coping Mechanisms for Political Turmoil, Teenage Shenanigans, and Life Lately

    Today we’re sharing our coping mechanisms, the things we’re grateful for, and how we’re going to turn fear into action during this politically tumultuous time we’re all living through. Our focus is on these three words: kindness, compassion, and accountability. No matter what side you’re on, let’s try to implement these into our daily routines a little more so we can all look forward to a brighter and better future!   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

We may not be able to change what we see in the news, but we can change how we react and move in the world and through our community.  Respect where you and your loved ones are when it comes to your relationship with the news. If you or your friends feel overwhelmed, disconnect for a bit and focus on your life. When you’re ready to revisit the news, explore different news outlets so you are exposed to different perspectives. In this political climate, it’s imperative to have more kindness and compassion than we ever have, and it’s not always easy. But to move forward as a country, we must respect opposing viewpoints, and turn our anger and fear into courage.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    161. A Free Man in Paris | Learning French and Seizing the Day

    We just got back from a whirlwind trip to Paris, France to celebrate Liz’s 71st birthday! In this episode, we’re sharing all of our favorite restaurants, destinations, and experiences, and the unexpected moments along the way that made this trip so memorable. We discuss the importance of travel for putting everyday life into perspective, the ups and downs of learning a new language, and so much more!   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Then, make an effort to speak the language when you get there. It can feel intimidating, but it’s usually appreciated and you’ll pick up more as you practice. Be open to magic moments when you’re traveling. Some of the most memorable experiences are totally unplanned, but you’ll only have those opportunities (like having a cat curl up around your feet at dinner) if you’re open to them. Don’t wait to travel or have a new experience, whatever that looks like for you. Go with your partner, friend, or solo. “Someday” might never come, so seize the moment and make those memories now.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.
