The Gal Matrix
Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a wife, mom, transition coach, and recovering HR executive with ADHD who survived corporate America despite not fitting into the mold. I’m goofy, irreverent, and impulsive. Join me as I connect with my network of gals to share stories of coping in a culture of perfectionism and help me build resilience through humor, wisdom, and self-compassion.

My long-time friend and HR professional, Kelly, joins me to discuss hiring mistakes and stories from our experiences.
One of my stories was when I accidentally added the wrong dial-in number for a global conference meeting, which ended up being a sex hotline number. Oops!
Kelly and I have a vault of stories to share, and we share some good ones in this episode.
I have ADHD, and I recently became a certified ADHD coach... then, I lost my wallet less than 30 minutes after getting certified - classic!
Kelly joins me in another episode of The Gal Matrix to ask me questions about this new venture I'm on. I can’t wait to put this training to work!
World Health Day (today) is kicking off a year-long campaign on maternal and newborn health titled, “Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures.” It urges governments and the health community to ramp up efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths, and to prioritize women’s longer-term health and well-being.
80% of maternal deaths are preventable.
I was invited to be on my friend's podcast, Instigating Women + Friends, to discus...
One of my best friends, Marian, joins me to talk about a very real and fresh experience... her fear of flying. It's so real that she recently asked her ex-husband to take her place on a trip to Hawaii with her kids.
I helped Marian decide her best outcome, and we discussed it in this episode.
Reminder: You are not defined by your fears, and you are not broken because of them.
My friend, Gwen, joins me again for another episode of The Gal Matrix. She just became a licensed Psilocybin Facilitator by the Oregon Health Authority, which means:
Gwen can now care for an individual or group ingesting Psilocybin (AKA Magic Mushrooms) to improve hard-to-treat disorders, such as addiction, PTSD, sexual trauma, depression, chronic anxiety, and more.
Gwen answers all of my questions and more about what this means a...
My long-time friend and HR professional, Kelly, joins me again to reminisce about a few funny and cringe-worthy stories from when we worked together. Together, we attended the annual sales kickoff event to "babysit" team members, which is funny to think about as I'm the most impulsive, inappropriate and up-for-anything person.
I invited my friend, Gwen, back to the podcast to discuss things that we can start, stop, and continue doing to show up for ourselves and each other.
I invited my long-time friend and HR professional, Kelly, to join me on this episode. If you've recently lost a job or are currently experiencing extreme insecurity at your job, this episode is for you!
We discuss coping strategies that'll help change your mindset.
My friend, Gwen, joins me to discuss all things imposter syndrome. Everyone suffers from it, and it's completely normal.
One way I try to counteract my thoughts that try to keep me small is by surrounding myself with quotes. I have many quotes on my desk, and this is a great one relating to imposter syndrome: "When you feel doubt (which you will), just show up and see what happens."
Cheers to showing up and seeing what happens!
...I invited my friend Heather to join me to discuss how we've coped with stress individually and together. Reminder: Nobody should cope alone.
I invited the HOEs to be on their first episode of many. We lived in a house during our senior year of college 30 years ago, and our guy friends called us the House Of Estrogen (HOE). We celebrate Galentine's Day in this episode by sharing how we've witnessed each other's lives without judgment for over three decades.
I invited my friend, Gwen Sandefur, to speak with me about the concept of gamechangers. I met Gwen 5 years ago when going through the Hudson School of Coaching, and we clicked immediately. She has a devious, playful sparkle about her... always encouraging me, pushing me, and accepting me. Gwen is my gamechanger. We dive into all of this and way more in this episode.
My husband, Ian, joins me on this episode to discuss the pluses and minuses of partnering with your complete opposite. Ian Williams, a noted introvert is subjected to some particularly challenging choices for someone who hates being in the spotlight.
Millie joins me to discuss how our ADHD causes us to lose things.

Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
