The Gal Matrix

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.

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 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.

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, 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.
