Summary
In this episode, I’m joined by Liz Woods to talk about love, long-term relationships, and what it’s really like to grow up with your partner instead of dating around. We get into meeting your person young, navigating years of long distance, and how friendships shift when you’re the only one not in the dating trenches. Liz shares what she’s learned watching her single friends date, why being “chosen” matters more than chemistry, and what actually makes a relationship last. Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this conversation will make you rethink how we define relationship success.

| 0:00.0 | Liz Woods and welcome to seeing other people. Thank you for having me. I'm sopping around. I was laughing because I was like, what sop? Like when I got the calendar invitation, then I saw and I was like, oh, seeing other people. Yeah. That's funny because that's what I send it like to everyone. Yeah. And I've never thought that it could be interpreted as like, huh? Yeah. No. But that makes sense. Yeah. |
| 0:20.6 | Because SOP to me is SOP is seeing other people. |
| 0:23.2 | Yeah. |
| 0:23.7 | Yeah. |
| 0:24.2 | So I'm so thrilled to be here back in Manhattan and in your beautiful home. Thank you for having me. Thank you so much for being here. I've been thinking a lot about how to introduce you. And it's funny because in so many ways, we are very, very different. Yeah. You are like the queen of pop culture. Yeah. Thank you. I live under a rock. Okay. Which thank you for your service, by the way, because anytime I feel like I'm extra living under a rock, I'm like, oh, let me just see what Liz is posting about because that is how I learn every single thing that I know. Sure. Happy to do it. |
| 0:54.5 | Guys, if you're not following at Liz P. Woods, what, no, go follow. She's everyone's favorite |
| 0:59.6 | follow. Thank you. Nobody works harder than you. Thank you. I agree. It's like an easy, hard job |
| 1:05.6 | because it's all on my phone. It's all Instagram. There's people who like get up and go to coal mines. |
| 1:09.9 | So I would never suggest that what I do is particularly challenging in like a physical way. But it's definitely like being on all the time and like trying to to keep track of all the all the e-news and page six stuff. So I'm happy to do it. It's fun. You gave birth and didn't miss a beat. No. That was like, it was partially intentional because I realized I'm |
| 1:28.4 | always posting and I, when I got pregnant, I was like, oh, that'll be something. Like, people |
| 1:32.9 | will know when I give birth. And I wanted that sense of privacy, but also, and labor is so different |
| 1:38.0 | for everybody. But for me, there was like a lot of downtime when I really wasn't doing anything. |
| 1:41.9 | And it happened to be the day that the New York |
| 1:45.4 | Times article and lawsuit dropped between Justin Baldoni and Blake lively. That's like your Super Bowl. |
| 1:51.0 | Exactly. And so it actually was like a great distraction. I mean, it's a whole saga of that story. |
| 1:56.2 | But for me on that day, it happened to be great. And yeah, you get a lot of time when you're not, like, actually doing that much when you're a new parent. Like, it's very overwhelming, but there's also like the baby sleeps a lot. So it was good, it was good for my business, if I'm being honest. Great. I'm thrilled to hear that. Yeah. I'm thrilled to hear that. So guys, follow Liz. Another way we are very different. You have the cutest clothes. You have the best style. |
| 2:18.7 | This outfit. I'm wearing a black sweater and jeans. This took me a lot of thought and effort. |
| 2:23.5 | Well, you look great. I am not good at at the curating a look that's chill. Like, you look chill. And |
| 2:31.2 | I believe you that it took you time to think about it. But like, I'm good at the, like I have these two friends who they're sisters. And they always look like so cool. And they just like pull off that relaxed cheek look so well. And like I'm most comfortable in tights because I think it's like, okay, if I put tights on, then like the whole outfit looks elevated when in reality it's just just a white sweater, black skirt. It would take me so much effort and thought and so many different |
| 2:55.1 | consults from friends to put together the outfit that you have on. Well, thank you. I look great, |
| 3:00.4 | but I appreciate your compliment. Thank you very much. Yeah. |
| 3:13.7 | But despite all of our differences, we have one very big thing in common. |
