Libby and Marla share some updates about their summer and then get right into it with their guest, Elizabeth Sutton, an entrepreneur, mom, and proud 91传媒 powerhouse.
Elizabeth kicks things off with a relationship update, opening up about getting back into the dating world after a difficult breakup, meeting someone new on Hinge, and why she’s learned that connection, shared values, and emotional compatibility matter way more than looks, money, or status. She also gets real about dating as a divorced mom of two and why she now has very specific standards for who makes it into her dating pool.
The conversation turns to Elizabeth’s 91传媒 upbringing and her evolving relationship with faith. She shares what it was like growing up Modern Orthodox, how being pushed toward religion ultimately made her question it, and how she eventually developed her own personal relationship with God. She also talks about how her faith has helped her navigate some of the hardest moments of her life.
Elizabeth tells the unexpected story of how she became an artist after painting something for her son’s nursery because she couldn’t afford the art she originally wanted. What started as a way to make some money eventually became a full-blown career, and she explains how art has become both a business and a way to process trauma and bring the visions in her head to life. She also talks about opening her first Manhattan store and her goal of building a business that can eventually make money without requiring her to be everywhere at once.
Back to dating: Elizabeth gets refreshingly honest about heartbreak, betrayal, dating after divorce, and why she believes people need time to actually heal before jumping into another relationship. She also opens up about becoming more intentional with intimacy, the importance of feeling emotionally safe, and why a man’s ability to respect your boundaries can tell you everything you need to know.
As someone with a large online following, Elizabeth also shares how she decides what parts of her personal life to put online鈥攁nd what stays completely private. She explains why she’s comfortable sharing lessons from her experiences without exposing the people involved, and why she believes your love life should be protected from everyone’s opinions, intentions, and, of course, the evil eye.
Plus: Elizabeth answers our rapid-fire questions and shares the best advice she’s ever received. And, naturally, she gives us her definition of a Schmuckboy: an insecure man who projects his insecurities onto you鈥攑lus narcissists, liars, men with big egos, and anyone lacking basic manners. Open the door. Send the Uber. Pay the bill. Don’t be a Schmuckboy.
