Chez NENEN Episode 4 - Living Out Legacy: How Much Good Can Happen When Family Steps into the Postpartum Journey with You? (w/ Elizabeth “Liz” Johnson)

In this episode of Chez NENEN, Liz and I explore the often-unspoken realities of postpartum life, the challenges of balancing motherhood and ambition, and the profound journey of building a lasting legacy. 

Liz - a wife, a mother of four, and a successful financial and tax advisor - shares her personal struggles with postpartum depression after her youngest, and the pivotal moment when she realized the importance of self-care. She recounts how her mother-in-law's unwavering support became her lifeline, allowing her to not only recover after giving birth but also to launch her own business.

Our conversation delves into the unique ways by which Liz has integrated her children into her entrepreneurial journey, teaching them invaluable lessons about hard work, finances, and the power of family. As living proof of the saying “More is caught than what is taught,” Liz's children are actively building on the legacy she's created. The episode highlights the importance of intentional parenting, prioritizing family time, and the deep, multi-generational bonds that provide strength and support. Liz emphasizes that true legacy isn't just about financial inheritance, but about the memories, life lessons, and the ability to "pass the torch" of wisdom and good hard work to the next generation. 

This episode is a powerful testament to the resilience of mothers, the transformative impact of support systems, and the enduring power of family.
