  Beyond the Reflection: Transforming How You See Yourself | Gregory James Thelian

  Oct 1, 20261h 4mS7

  TEATIME WITH MISS LIZ October 1st | 7 PM EST BEYOND THE REFLECTION: TRANSFORMING HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF Guest: Gregory James Thelian Award-Winning Boudoir Photographer • Speaker on Self-Perception • Gregory James Photography What if the person you need to learn to see differently is yourself? Grab your cup and join Miss Liz for a powerful and deeply personal conversation with award-winning boudoir photographer and self-perception speaker Gregory James Thelian. For more than a decade, Gregory has helped people look beyond their reflection and confront something deeper—the way they see themselves. Through his **3-Day Transcendent Boudoir Experience**, Gregory works with women navigating challenges surrounding self-confidence, body image, past abuse, vulnerability, and feelings of unworthiness. His work is about creating an environment where people can begin to feel seen, celebrated, empowered, and whole. But tonight's Teatime goes far beyond photography. Gregory believes that lasting change cannot come from motivational words alone. It begins when we are willing to transform our **self-perception. His T-E-E brings three powerful words to the table: TRANSFORM • EMPOWER • AFFIRM ✨ Transform how you see yourself. ✨ Empower what makes you unique. ✨ Affirm that you are already worthy of being seen. Born and raised in Queens, New York, Gregory discovered that his camera could become much more than a tool for creating beautiful photographs. It could become a doorway into conversations about confidence, body image, vulnerability, resilience, healing, worth, and the stories we carry with us. Gregory describes himself with one word: Loving His favourite colour: Blue. And the question at the heart of tonight's conversation is one we may all need to ask ourselves: When you look at yourself, are you seeing who you truly are—or everything life has taught you to believe about yourself? FOOD FOR THOUGHT Mirrors show reflections. Cameras capture images. But neither determines our worth. Sometimes we spend years looking at ourselves through the eyes of someone who hurt us, rejected us, criticized us, compared us, or made us believe we weren't enough. Eventually, those voices can begin to sound like our own. So what if healing isn't about becoming worthy? What if it is about finally seeing the worth that was there all along? Transform the way you see yourself. Empower what makes you different. Affirm the person looking back at you. Be seen. Be celebrated. And remember that you are already whole. Thank you, Gregory James Thelian, for bringing vulnerability, compassion, humour, and a very different lens to the Teatime table. Until next time, keep making a difference—one cup at a time. YOU are all the TEA. Add me, and together we become a TEAM OF CHANGE. ☕ Miss Liz Do Different. MAKE a Difference.

  UNBRIDLED: What Horses Can Teach Us About Human Leadership | Marlene Armstrong & Maureen Donoghue

  Sep 30, 20261 hourS7

  TEATIME WITH MISS LIZ September 30th, 2026 | 3 PM EST Unbridled Coaching • Certified Equus Coaches • Leadership & Connection Friendship • Partnership • Trust • Connection • Presence • Relationship What can a horse teach us about leadership? More than you might think. On this episode of Teatime with Miss Liz , we welcome Marlene Armstrong and Maureen Donoghue , co-founders and certified Equus coaches with Unbridled Coaching at Foxview Stables in Osgoode, Ontario, Canada . Together, Marlene and Maureen bring decades of experience in leadership, education, psychology, public service, management, friendship and life experience into a very different kind of classroom. One where the teachers have four legs . Marlene spent 35 years in public-service leadership before transforming her passion for horses into Foxview Stables. With an Honours Bachelor of Commerce, extensive project-management experience and certification as an Equus coach, Marlene combines her professional leadership experience with intuition and equine-facilitated learning. Favourite Colour: Green ✨ One Word: Courageous Maureen brings a background in psychology, a Master’s in Education, and a career spanning teaching, training and management with the Canadian federal government. Today, as a certified Equus coach, she explores how trust, self-awareness and connection influence our personal relationships and the way we lead. Favourite Colour: Burgundy ✨ One Word: Connected Friendship • Partnership • Trust And their T-E-E: Connection • Presence • Relationship Together, Marlene and Maureen invite people to look at leadership and relationships through a different lens—one where horses become partners in learning. A horse doesn't care about your job title. A horse doesn't need your carefully prepared presentation. A horse responds to what is happening right now . That creates a fascinating opportunity to explore how we communicate, build trust, show up, and how our presence affects another living being. What happens when we stop trying to control everything around us and start paying attention to the relationship we're creating? What can a horse reveal about us that another human being sometimes cannot? And what can those lessons teach us about leadership? Miss Liz, Marlene, and Maureen explore: Equine-facilitated learning Friendship, partnership and trust Presence and self-awareness Communication and connection ✨ Leadership through relationship ❤️ Understanding how we show up What horses can reflect back to us Personal growth and transformation Leadership isn't always about being the loudest person in the room. Sometimes leadership begins in silence. In presence. In awareness. In trust. And in understanding the effect we're having on another living being. Marlene and Maureen's work invites us to consider whether some of our most important leadership lessons might come from simply slowing down, paying attention and being willing to see ourselves through another's response. “Sometimes the greatest teacher doesn’t give us the answer. It quietly reflects back how we’re showing up, until we’re courageous enough to see ourselves.” — Miss Liz Join Miss Liz, Marlene Armstrong and Maureen Donoghue at the Teatime table for a conversation about horses, leadership, trust, connection and the relationships that teach us who we are. Grab your cup—and let's dig deep. ☕ September 30th • 3 PM EST UNBRIDLED COACHING UNBRIDLED: What Horses Can Teach Us About Human Leadership Friendship • Partnership • Trust #TeatimeWithMissLiz #UnbridledCoaching #EquineCoaching #EquusCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment #ConnectionMatters #HorseWisdom #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Trust #Communication #Presence #Relationship #FoxviewStables

  From True Crime to Murder, Mystery & Mayhem with Pepper Anne

  Sep 29, 20261h 1mS7

  TEATIME WITH MISS LIZ September 29th, 2026 | 7 PM EST True Crime Author • Crime Fiction Writer • Storyteller Truth • Reinvention • Justice • Fiction • A Touch of Comedy Some guests return to the Teatime table with another chapter. Pepper Anne is back—and this time, she's bringing a whole new direction. Known for her passion for true crime and uncovering the fuller stories behind real cases, Pepper is expanding her writing into the world of murder, mystery, thriller, and comedy with her upcoming fiction project: Penny Pearl Mysteries: Mayhem in a Small Town She's currently developing the manuscript with her editor while exploring both traditional publishing and self-publishing. So this conversation isn't only about where Pepper has been. It's about what changed, why she changed direction, and what she's creating next. Favourite Colour: Blue One Word: Passionate T — Tranquil E — Ease A — Accepting A fascinating combination for a storyteller whose work takes us into murder, crime, mystery, and mayhem. Pepper's true-crime work has focused on looking beyond the stories audiences may already know and exploring the fuller picture—giving people the opportunity to consider different perspectives and make their own judgments about right, wrong, and justice. Her first book, The Notorious Texas Swindler , brought readers into a true-crime story rooted in Texas. Now Pepper is opening a new creative door. With Penny Pearl Mysteries: Mayhem in a Small Town , she's creating her own fictional world where murder, mystery, suspense, and comedy can collide. And she's facing a question many writers encounter: What comes next? Does she pursue literary agents and traditional publishing? Does she self-publish? Or does the right path reveal itself along the way? There's something special about welcoming a returning guest. We get to see what has changed. Because people evolve. Writers evolve. Interests change. Voices become stronger. And sometimes the next chapter looks completely different from the one before it. Pepper's journey from true-crime storytelling into crime fiction doesn't erase where she began. Instead, it gives her another space to explore her love of storytelling. Tonight, Miss Liz and Pepper talk about: True crime and storytelling Moving from nonfiction into fiction ️ Murder, mystery and thriller writing Bringing comedy into crime fiction ✍️ Working with an editor Traditional publishing vs. self-publishing Reinventing yourself as a writer Finding the courage to change direction ☕ The evolution of a storyteller A writer is probably listening who has already established themselves in one genre. But another story keeps calling. They're afraid readers won't follow. They're afraid they'll confuse their brand. They're afraid they're starting over. What would you tell the writer who knows they're ready to change—but is afraid to step outside the box everyone already knows them for? “Changing direction doesn’t erase the road you’ve already travelled. Sometimes everything we’ve learned on the old road is exactly what prepares us to write—and live—the next chapter.” — Miss Liz So grab your cup and join Miss Liz and returning guest Pepper Anne for a conversation about truth, fiction, reinvention, publishing, and the wonderful mayhem that can happen when a storyteller decides to try something new. ☕ September 29th • 7 PM EST PEPPER ANNE From True Crime to Murder, Mystery & Mayhem #TeatimeWithMissLiz #PepperAnne #TrueCrimeAuthor #MysteryWriter #CrimeFiction #PennyPearlMysteries #MayhemInASmallTown #WritingCommunity #Storytelling #CrimeWriter #MurderMystery #Authors #Publishing #SelfPublishing #TraditionalPublishing

  Reclaiming Your Third Act: Power, Clarity & Passion with Naomi Simpson

  Sep 29, 20261 hourS7

  Naomi Simpson September 29th, 2026 | 3 PM EST Professional Astrologer • Coach • Yoga Teacher • Entrepreneur • Guide & Confidante Power • Clarity • Passion • Relationships • Reinvention What happens when a woman reaches a point in life and realizes she doesn’t want to keep living the life she's always lived? She wants to choose what comes next. On this episode of Teatime with Miss Liz , we welcome Naomi Simpson , a Toronto-based professional astrologer and coach who works with confident, independent women navigating relationships, personal growth, and what she calls the Third Act of Life . Naomi’s own journey is a powerful story of reinvention. Her path has taken her from corporate HR to entrepreneurship, where she built a six-figure pet-services business. She became a yoga teacher, discovered astrology, walked the Camino de Santiago, raised a child as a single mother, managed an 85-acre farm, and eventually created another professional chapter as an astrologer and coach. Her experiences bring three powerful words to the Teatime table: POWER — Reclaiming ownership of your choices and direction. CLARITY — Understanding yourself, your relationships, and what you truly want. PASSION — Creating a life that feels vibrant rather than simply comfortable. Naomi left corporate HR in 2003 and stepped into entrepreneurship, building The Kennel Club , a pet-services business that grew into a six-figure success. In 2009, she became a yoga teacher. In 2015, she discovered her passion for astrology. In 2019, she walked the Camino de Santiago. And in 2020, she began another entrepreneurial chapter as a professional astrologer and coach. Today, Naomi works with women navigating relationships, personal growth, and the possibilities of their Third Act. Her approach brings together coaching with practices including astrology, yoga, and somatic exercises. Her story also includes the realities of independence, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and managing an 85-acre farm. This isn't simply a conversation about starting over. It's about asking: Who am I now? What do I really want? And what might be possible if I give myself permission to choose differently? A woman may be listening who has spent years showing up for everybody else. Her children. Her partner. Her career. Her family. Her responsibilities. And now she is looking toward the next chapter, thinking: “I don’t even know what I want anymore.” Naomi explores the questions that can help us begin finding our way back to ourselves. Because reinvention doesn't belong only to the young. No single age is when we're allowed to discover ourselves. No one career is required forever. And no one definition of love, connection, independence, or success does everyone have to follow. Perhaps the Third Act isn't about becoming younger again. Perhaps it's about becoming more fully ourselves . Join Miss Liz and Naomi Simpson for an honest and thoughtful conversation about: ✨ Reinvention and new beginnings ✨ Relationships and personal growth ✨ Finding clarity about what you want ✨ Women and the Third Act of Life ✨ Independence and entrepreneurship ✨ Astrology and self-discovery ✨ The courage to make changes ✨ Moving from comfort toward passion ✨ Understanding who we are in different chapters of life Naomi brings her experiences, energy, wisdom, and perspective to the Teatime table. So grab your cup, settle in, and join us for a conversation about reclaiming your Third Act . “A new chapter doesn’t ask us to erase the woman we were. It asks us to carry forward her wisdom, release what no longer belongs, and give ourselves permission to choose what comes next.” — Miss Liz ☕ September 29th • 3 PM EST NAOMI SIMPSON Professional Astrologer • Coach • Entrepreneur RECLAIMING YOUR THIRD ACT Power • Clarity • Passion #TeatimeWithMissLiz #NaomiSimpson #ThirdActOfLife #WomenEmpowerment #PersonalGrowth #Reinvention #SelfDiscovery #Relationships #Astrology #Coaching #Entrepreneurship #NewBeginnings #LifeTransitions
