Are you waiting to feel "ready" before you make that big life pivot? Spoiler alert: "Ready" is a myth.

In this episode of It's Bizzy, I’m peeling back the layers on the one thing that actually moves the needle in your life: Willingness. We often want things to be different—we want the debt gone, the relationship healed, or the anxiety to quiet down—but are we willing to do the uncomfortable work to get there?

I’m sharing the raw truth about how I’ve navigated my own "uncomfortable quiet" lately and why building a routine is the life-raft you didn't know you needed. If you’ve been twirling in circles of self-doubt, this is your sign to stop the sprint and start the pivot.

In this episode, we discuss:

· Why "willingness" is the secret engine behind personal transformation.

· How to use routines to outrun your fear and self-doubt.

· The power of taking action when you still feel 100% afraid.

· Why seeking help isn't a weakness—it's a high-level strategy for success.

Stop doing this alone. If you are ready to put on your own oxygen mask and design a 2026 that feels like YOURS, I’m here to walk with you.

I am officially accepting new coaching clients! Let’s turn your "willingness" into a concrete plan. Visit ElizabethChance.com or DM me "READY" to book your clarity call.

Live Loud. Love Big.

As the whirlwind of December fades and we step into the quiet of January, I’m reconnecting with my dear friend Becky Shipos to talk about a "super habit" we both lean on: finding stillness. In this episode, we open up about our personal journeys through sobriety and the realization that while we can’t control the chaos of life, we can control how we sit with it.

We dive deep into the messy parts of parenting and the sting we feel when relationships don't go the way we envisioned. I share my thoughts on the vital difference between fleeting happiness and the permanent, deep-rooted joy that carries us through the hard times. From the evolution of 12-step programs and the power of community to the "compare and despair" trap of social media, Becky and I discuss the tools we use to stay grounded. Join us as we explore why letting go isn't about giving up—it’s about making room for the peace and personal growth we actually deserve.

Takeaways

• Stillness is a Strategy: Why I believe pausing is the only way to hear your own truth amidst the noise.
• The Joy Shift: Realizing that joy is an internal anchor that stays, even when happiness feels far away.
• Parenting in the Real World: Navigating the heartbreak and "knots" of family dynamics with grace.
• Modern Recovery: How community support and 12-step tools have changed over the years to meet us where we are.

Happy 2026, everyone! I’m Elizabeth “Bizzy” Chance. In this episode, we are drawing a line in the sand: we are not taking fear with us into this new year.

As a coach, I see so many people held back by the weight of the past. That’s why I’m diving deep into why it is so vital to stop letting shame dictate your choices and how you can finally start living in the present moment. I know how easy it is to get lost in the noise of a busy world, but I’ve found that the real magic happens in those quiet moments of reflection where we find self-love.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

· Why self-care isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity for your mental health.

· The secret to pivoting and staying flexible when life shifts.

· How to improve your communication to build deeper, more meaningful connections.

· My personal journey in finding a sense of peace and belonging.

Life is fleeting, and I want us all to cherish the time we have.

Work With Me: I am officially taking on new coaching clients for 2026! If you are ready to let go of fear, address the shame that's been holding you back, and learn how to pivot with purpose, I would love to support you on your journey.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

In Episode 562, I am joined by the wonderful Rosanne Terzian. We go way back as mothers and friends, and our conversation explores our shared backgrounds—comparing the beautiful traditions of Armenian and Italian Catholicism—and how those cultural roots shaped the women we are today.

As a Certified Wholeness Coach and RN, self-taught in the writings and practices of St. Hildegard of Bingen, Rosanne blends her healthcare background with a passion for helping individuals achieve holistic wellness of body, mind, and soul. She believes, like St. Hildegard, that God has provided everything we need for wellness, and that self-knowledge and scripture-based prayer are the first steps to mitigate disease and live a balanced life.

Rosanne shares her incredible journey from the front lines of nursing to her current calling in spiritual coaching. We talk about the deep, vulnerable connections made at the bedside and how she was inspired by the mystic St. Hildegard to help women find wellness through faith and virtue.

We don’t shy away from the hard stuff, either. We tackle the "modern addictions" that sneak into our lives—like the endless scrolling on social media and the trap of consumerism—and how we can use prayer, chanting, and stillness to break free. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, this episode is your permission to slow down, breathe, and remember that you are a child of God.

"We are God's children, and sometimes the best thing we can do is just be still and listen."

· The Vocation of Nursing: The sacred moments of connecting with patients in their most vulnerable states.

· St. Hildegard of Bingen: How this pioneer's ancient teachings on wellness and virtue still matter today.

· Breaking Modern Addictions: Moving away from the noise of shopping and social media toward true stillness.

I can hardly believe I’m saying this, but we have officially crossed the 600-episode mark! As I step into Episode 601, my heart is just overflowing with gratitude for you. Whether you’ve been with me since day one or you just found the show, thank you for allowing me into your ears and your lives.

In this episode, I’m getting very real about where I am right now. I’m reflecting on the beauty of this milestone, but also the complexities of the holiday season. I’m sharing the raw truth about the loneliness that can creep in when children grow up and family dynamics shift, leaving us feeling a bit disconnected. We also dive into the heavy atmosphere of the world today—the anger and division we see everywhere—and why I believe our greatest mission is to lift each other up instead of tearing each other down.

I also want to talk to you about the "new." I’m leaning into my creative side and using vision boards to map out my intentional growth for the coming year. I’ll walk you through how self-care, forgiveness, and reflection aren’t just buzzwords—they are survival tools. Most importantly, I want to remind you of the one thing I know to be true: you are not alone.

Join me for a heartfelt conversation about looking back with gratitude and looking forward with purpose.

Key Takeaways

• A Milestone of Gratitude: Celebrating 600 episodes and the community that made it possible.
• The Changing Table: A candid look at the loneliness of the holidays when family dynamics evolve.
• Healing the Divide: Choosing to lift others up in a society filled with anger and division.
• The Power of "New": Using creativity and vision boards to shape your 2026 goals.
• The Trinity of Peace: Why self-care, reflection, and forgiveness are essential for personal growth.
• You Are Never Alone: A vital reminder for anyone struggling during this season.

SIX HUNDRED EPISODES! Can you believe it?! I am absolutely over the moon to be celebrating this massive milestone with all of you today. For Episode 600, I wanted to bring you something truly special, high-energy, and a reminder that life is meant to be lived out loud—and yes, you can have the absolute best time ever while sober or just choosing not to drink!

Joining me for this diamond anniversary episode is the incredible Kari Long. We are diving deep into my latest obsession: Mahjong! 🎲

Kari and I pull back the curtain on this beautiful game, from its fascinating 1920s American roots to the way it is taking over the modern social scene. But this isn't just about tiles and racks; it’s about the magic of connection. We get real about how tough it can be to make friends as an adult and how Mahjong acts as the perfect, low-pressure bridge to build a community that actually sticks.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

· The Adult Friendship Hack: How to find your "tribe" without a cocktail in hand.

· Mental Health Wins: Why Mahjong is basically a workout for your brain and a hug for your soul.

· Inclusivity & Growth: Why this isn't just "your grandma’s game" anymore (men are joining the fun, too!).

· The Power of Faith: How leaning into faith helps us navigate the bumpy parts of life’s journey.

· Teaching the Game: Kari shares her secrets to mastering the strategy and why "Mahjong is here to stay!"

Whether you’re a Mahjong pro or you’ve never seen a tile in your life, this episode is a celebration of community, mental wellness, and the joy of showing up as your authentic self. Thank you for being part of these 600 episodes—we’re just getting started! Happy Holidays!
