This special Fourth of July episode of It's Bizzy celebrates the spirit of the American Dream with one of my oldest friends and one of the most successful female entrepreneurs I know, Lisi Lerch.

For more than 25 years, Lisi has built a nationally recognized accessories brand from the ground up—starting with affordable Kentucky Derby hats and growing into a thriving business featuring jewelry, handbags, apparel, and boutiques across Pennsylvania and beyond. After leaving a career connected to Wall Street and launching her company in 2001 while her husband attended business school, Lisi turned a dream into a business empire while raising three children and staying grounded in her Catholic faith.

In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, we discuss:

✨ How Lisi built her business from scratch and never gave up
✨ The role faith, family, and friendship have played throughout her journey
✨ Growing a company for 25 years while raising a family
✨ Why resilience and grit matter more than perfection
✨ Navigating anxiety, depression, and business setbacks
✨ Raising a daughter with Type 1 diabetes and finding strength through adversity
✨ Why supporting other women is more important than ever
✨ Entrepreneurship, motherhood, marriage, and the courage to keep going
✨ Why it's okay to not be okay—and how to find your way back

We also talk about the importance of affordable fashion, the rise of her iconic accessories brand, her beloved LibbyKat clothing line, and why she believes every challenge in life can become your greatest superpower.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a parent, navigating a difficult season of life, or simply looking for encouragement this Fourth of July weekend, this conversation will remind you that resilience, faith, and love can carry you through almost anything.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, I found myself asking a difficult but important question:

Can I allow this moment to be exactly as it is, even if I wish it were different?

In this deeply personal solo episode of It's Bizzy, I reflect on acceptance, faith, forgiveness, family, recovery, and learning to love imperfect things—including ourselves. From my own experiences with divorce, estrangement, recovery, and trusting God's plan, to reflections on our country and our shared humanity, this episode is about finding peace when life doesn't look the way we hoped it would.

We explore:

• How to practice acceptance when life feels painful
• Why forgiveness is essential for healing
• Learning to trust God when we don't understand the plan
• Loving our families, our country, and ourselves despite imperfections
• Letting go of control and choosing action over resentment
• Finding joy, gratitude, and hope in the present moment

As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, perhaps the real question isn't whether life is perfect—but whether we can learn to love it anyway.

✨ Can you love something, even when you wish it were different?

In Episode 652 of It's Bizzy, I sit down with author Elli Rose Cikovic to discuss her memoir, The Diary of a Twenty-Five-Year-Old Alcoholic, and her powerful journey through addiction, recovery, and self-discovery.

Elli shares how she began drinking at 13, experienced blackouts by 14, and spent years navigating family dysfunction, divorce, shame, and the emotional challenges that often accompany alcoholism. Together, we explore what recovery looks like for younger generations, the impact of social media on mental health, the role family dynamics play in addiction, and the courage it takes to rebuild a life after alcohol.

What I loved most about this conversation is Elli's honesty. She openly shares her struggles, her recovery journey, and the lessons she's learned along the way. We also discuss the differences between generations when it comes to drinking, sobriety, technology, and healing.

In this episode we discuss:
• Growing up with alcoholism in the family
• Blackout drinking and alcohol dependency
• Recovery in your twenties
• Social media, anxiety, and mental health
• Family dysfunction, divorce, and healing
• California sobriety and personal growth
• Writing as a tool for recovery and transformation
• Finding purpose after addiction

Elli Rose Cikovic is a writer, speaker, and author of The Diary of a Twenty-Five-Year-Old Alcoholic. Her work explores addiction, recovery, identity, healing, and the realities of getting sober as a young adult.

If you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol addiction, please know that recovery is possible and you are never alone.

As always, thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting It's Bizzy. I am grateful you're here.
