Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!
Why “The Slow Pour”?
Drinking coffee is one of the very best parts of life. I go to bed excited about my cup the next morning and count down the minutes to my afternoon latte. And there is absolutely nothing—zero things I can think of—better than that first, slow pour into your favorite mug: your little boost of serotonin to help you survive the day.
My Substack is kind of like that. Except … without the hot liquid and caffeine. I’d love for this to be a place where you find a boost of joy, hope, or value. Honestly even just a giggle will do. Consider it my slow pour of love into your favorite mug. Too much? Sorry 😅
About Me
I’m Liz! I’m an IVF mom to a wild and delicious two-year-old, Bennett. I was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago, and lived IN my favorite city for nearly 10 years, before moving with my husband, David, to his hometown of St. Louis. (P.S. As a transplant, I can tell you with good authority that this is a seriously underrated Midwestern gem.)
I have my *dream* job as the marketing director for Simplified. I get to work with some of my very best friends, play with beautiful products, and connect with women all over the world.
My goal for this space is to share thoughts, lessons, and perspectives I’ve gained as a woman navigating motherhood, infertility, anxiety, and life as a person with big feelings.
