| 0:04.1 | Good morning, or whenever you are listening to this episode, I am so excited to share with |
| 0:09.4 | you this conversation I had with one of my favorite new follows, Lizzie Mathes. |
| 0:15.1 | Lizzie is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Cool Mom Co, which is an all-inclusive |
| 0:19.9 | diversity-driven resource brand on food, style, living and beauty for moms, and she is also |
| 0:27.0 | the host of The Cool Mom podcast. |
| 0:29.6 | She's originally from Detroit, Michigan, and she began modeling and acting at the age |

| 1:37.1 | You can watch now on Roku, which we have linked in the show notes. |
