    La Dolce Vita: Honest Reflections from an Italian Road Trip

    In this episode, Elizabeth and Kayla share a conversation that is as winding as an Italian road trip! Back from a wine tour in Italy, Kayla shares her reflections, imperfectly honest moments, and sweet intention for the year ahead. As you listen, ask yourself what you’d like to invite more of in 2026—is there room for you to slow down and savor more of life’s pleasures?  Show Notes: “La dolce vita” is an Italian phrase that translates as “the sweet life” and refers to living fully in the moment, slowing down to savor life’s pleasures rather than rushing or letting stress rule.  Learn more about the wine importer Kayla referenced at https://tanarowineimports.com/.  Connect with Elizabeth’s Imperfectly Honest perspective at www.imperfectlyhonest.com.

    Imperfect Truths of the American Economy | The Evolution of Capitalism with Seth Levine

    In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Seth Levine, co-author of the new book Capital Evolution: The New American Economy. Seth explains how and why the American economy is changing and what the future could look like. Given the major realignment America is in, visible in our divided politics, fractured media, reshaped labor markets, and more, Seth shares his belief that businesses hold most of the power—and some responsibility—to shape the future. This thought-provoking episode, and book, is for anyone who buys things—which is EVERYONE. Show Notes: You can order your copy of Capital Evolution at TheCapitalEvolution.com. And, in the spirit of dynamic capitalism and the holidays, consider ordering one for a friend, local school, or library through Seth and his co-author Elizabeth MacBride’s Worthy Books program. For my listeners who prefer to shop local, check out Seth’s wife’s independent book store, Composition Shop, in Longmont, Colorado.

    Preparing for Wildfires: Getting Honest About Climate Change and Imperfect Advocacy

    In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Lizzie Peyton, Director of Big Sky SNO (Sustainability Network Organization), to talk about wildfire preparedness, living with wildfire risk, and what it means to be an imperfect advocate for climate change. If you or someone you love lives in an area prone to wildfires or natural disasters, this conversation offers practical steps for preparing your home, creating a safety plan, and reducing anxiety around fire season. Even if wildfire season feels far away, it’s never too early to understand your risks and build confidence through preparation.  Elizabeth and Lizzie also speak candidly about the emotional side of climate change––how to show up, take meaningful action, and make lifestyle choices that align with your values, without needing to be perfect. This is a grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone wanting to care for the planet while also caring for themselves. Show Notes: The Big Sky Sustainability Network Organization, or “SNO,” is making its mountain town more sustainable by focusing on waste reduction, resource protection, energy management, transportation solutions, sustainable education, tourism, and more.  To learn more about Lizzie, get involved with Big Sky SNO, or discover resources to use in your own community, visit https://www.bigskysno.org/ or reach out directly at hello@bigskysno.org.
