| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:03.0 | Good morning or whenever you are listening to this episode, I am so excited to share with you |
| 0:08.6 | this conversation I had with one of my favorite new follows, Lizzie Mathis. |
| 0:13.8 | Lizzie is the founder and editor-in-chief of the Cool Mom Co, which is an all-inclusive, |
| 0:18.9 | diversity-driven resource brand on food, style, living, and beauty |
| 0:23.5 | for moms. And she is also the host of the Cool Mom podcast. She's originally from Detroit, |
| 0:29.4 | Michigan, and she began modeling and acting at the age of 17. And then later on, after she became a |
| 0:35.6 | mother, she found it was a major shift to her lifestyle, |
| 0:38.8 | which I'm sure many of us can agree with and her career and mindset. |
| 0:43.3 | And she says that she leaned heavily into motherhood and at the same time pushed aside |
| 0:48.0 | many of the passions that she had grown to love, which I also heavily relate to. |
| 0:53.0 | So the cool mom co was born out of a need for Lizzie to |
| 0:55.9 | remind all mothers to put themselves first, reignite the passions they may have left behind, |
| 1:01.1 | and how dope they are as women, and to keep bringing that cool to motherhood, which I fucking |
| 1:05.9 | love. I actually was just featured by them, which is a true honor. Lizzie's latest project is a home |
| 1:12.2 | renovation show in partnership with her close friend, Jessica Alba, called Honest Renovations. |
| 1:18.1 | They are surprising parents with renovations to take their homes from cluttered and chaotic |
| 1:22.4 | to functional and fabulous, but it is not your average home reno show because they get very honest about the pain |
| 1:28.5 | points of parenting and the pressure points of a family home. And there are tons of heartwarming |
| 1:33.6 | moments and plenty of laughter along the way. You can watch now on Roku, which we have linked |
| 1:38.8 | in the show notes. So make sure you check out the show after this. I love this conversation |
| 1:43.4 | so freaking much. |
