What if the moment that looked like the end of everything was actually the moment your real life finally began? Not the life you planned, not the one that looked good on paper — but the one you were always meant to be living.
That's not inspiration. That's Liz Prochaska's actual story.
Liz spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder in recruiting and HR leadership, quietly burning out while checking every box the world told her to check. Then on a snow day in January 2025, one accident changed everything — her job, her identity, her freedom, and her future. What she built from the rubble? A woman-owned landscaping company, a sober and present life, and a story she's finally ready to tell. This episode is raw, real, and the kind of conversation that reminds you that good people go through hard things — and that a moment in time does not have to define the rest of your life.
Inside the Episode:
- The Snow Day That Changed Everything: The golf cart accident that resulted in nine criminal charges, a hospital stay, and CPS at her door — and why Liz says it could have happened to literally anyone
- The Corporate Burnout Nobody Talks About: How 15 years of climbing, hustling, and people-pleasing left Liz hollowed out long before the accident ever happened
- Sink or Swim: What it actually looks like to wake up with no job, no income, pending criminal charges, two boys to feed, and a mortgage — and choose to keep going anyway
- The $30 Lawn: How a neighbor's overgrown grass, a borrowed truck, and a push mower became the unexpected foundation of Liz B Mowing — a thriving, woman-owned business
- Sobriety as a Superpower: What Liz discovered when she stopped drinking the day of the accident and never looked back — and why she says she's experiencing life for the very first time
- The Tattoo, The Bracelet, and The Legacy: The daily reminders Liz carries with her that say keep going — and what she hopes to pass on to her boys and the strangers who need to hear it most
