Lately, I’ve been thinking about peace and realizing how terrible I am at it. Christmas is supposed to be joyful, but I’m stressed out, overwhelmed, and turning into a version of myself I don’t even like. We’re obsessed with being busy and perfect, and it’s messing everything up. I caught myself being completely un-peaceful more times than I want to admit and had to call my own bullshit on it. So sorry, this episode isn’t some feel-good pep talk. It’s me being real about where I’m at, what I’...

Christmas is supposed to be joyful, but I’m stressed out, overwhelmed, and turning into a version of myself I don’t even like.

97. War, Leadership, and Today’s America: Part Four of My Conversation with Major General "Max" Haston

If you haven't heard the first three conversations I recorded with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, go listen to those now! In Part 4 of my conversation with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, we pick up right where we left off: Pushing past the polite version of leadership and getting into the messy, uncomfortable truth. We talk about what really happens behind the scenes when someone climbs the ranks in the military… the jealousy, the backstabbing, the politics, and the weight of responsibi...

96. Why Motherhood Still Matters (and What My Kids Are Teaching Me)

It’s just me this week and I am here to admit a couple hard truths I’d rather not, but here we are. After skipping out on Career Day at Mac's school I realized I’ve somehow started to think that being “just a mom” isn’t enough, even though I get on this podcast all the time talking about how motherhood is literally the most important job out there. I’m also diving into the hilarious (and slightly alarming) differences between raising boys and girls especially now that Charlie has cracke...

If you haven't heard the first two conversations I recorded with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, go listen to those now! In this third part of my conversation with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, we are not pulling punches. I’m done with surface-level takes and polite conversations. This episode gets into the real, uncomfortable truths about the U.S. military, global power, and what’s actually happening behind the headlines. Max shares stories that sound unreal, like hitting golf balls ne...

94. Let Kids Be Kids: Rethinking Early Childhood Education

This one’s probably going to ruffle some feathers, but when do they not? I want to revisit my earlier episode about why we chose not to do my son’s summer packet and clarify what I actually meant. It’s not about being anti-school. It’s about kids being kids, following their interests, and parents having a real voice in their child’s education. I’m sharing what happened after that episode aired, including my meeting with my child's school, why I stand by what I said (yes, including the F word)...

93. Behind the Uniform: Part Two of My Conversation with Major General "Max" Haston

If you haven’t listened to part one of this conversation, do that now! In this second part of my conversation with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, I sit down ready to ask the questions most people tiptoe around. I’ve always believed you can support the troops and still challenge the story we’ve been told about military service, and Max meets me there with honesty, grit, and zero sugarcoating. We get into what deployment really feels like and Max breaks down what it’s like to bounce between ...

92. Uncovering a Soldier's Story: Part One of My Conversation with Major General Terry "Max" Haston

In part one of my conversation with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, we go back to where it all began. Max grew up in small-town Middle Tennessee, surrounded by family, faith, and a deep sense of duty. He opens up about what life was like in the 1970s, how the Vietnam War shaped his generation, and what drew him to ROTC and a lifetime of service. What struck me most was how clear his purpose was, even early on. From those small beginnings to his first military assignments, you can see the th...

91. Rethinking Education with Michelle Compton

This week I sit down with Michelle Compton, one of the most impactful teachers in my kids’ lives, for a conversation every parent needs to hear. Michelle opens up about her journey from public schools to private education, the mentors who shaped her, and why she believes childhood should be full of curiosity, play, and joy. We talk about what’s broken in our schools, from standardized testing to one-size-fits-all curriculums, and how she’s built a classroom that looks and feels completely dif...

90. Parenting Different, Even When It’s Hard

Ya'll...I’ve been in a funk. No sleep, kids in my bed, the AC went out, I quit breastfeeding, and somehow those last 10–12 pounds are still hanging on no matter how hard I work. I’m frustrated, I’m tired, and I’m just talking it out. I also get into why I tossed my son’s summer packet in the trash and what we did instead. I know the school system has its reasons, but I want my kids to love learning, not just check boxes. If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or annoyed with the way things are “supp...

89. Questioning Power: Tim Burchett on Israel, Epstein, and Accountability

This week I sit down with Congressman Tim Burchett for a real, unfiltered conversation about some of the biggest issues facing our country. We talk about America’s relationship with Israel, the role of AIPAC, and why billions keep flowing overseas while our own nation drowns in debt. I press Tim on where Congress really stands, and we don’t shy away from calling out the hypocrisy. We also dig into the Epstein case a topic that continues to frustrate me and so many of you. Tim shares his persp...

88. Things Keeping Me Up at Night: Cribs, Corruption, and Calling B.S.

Back-to-school is here, and let me tell you - we are not thriving. Early mornings, cranky kids and zero sleep makes me miss our slow, sunshine-filled summer so much it hurts. In the middle of all that chaos, life smacked us with something heavier, losing my father-in-law, one of the best men I’ve ever known. Walking through his last days made me think a lot about how we deal (or don’t deal) with death in this country, and how broken our medical system really is. And because I still can’t keep...

87. Sight Words, Disney Lies, and Why It All Matters

It’s just me this week, and I’m covering a lot from Mac learning how to read (spoiler: we’re sticking with phonics) to why I think Disney is feeding our kids more harmful messages than magical ones. I talk about the challenges of finding safe, meaningful content for my kids, especially on YouTube, and why I’m so cautious about what’s getting into their minds. I also open up about a scene from the show Ginny & Georgia that really shook me because it made abortion look easy, casual, and con...

Michael “Cheez” Brown has lived a life most of us couldn’t imagine—growing up between chaos and comfort, chasing punk rock dreams in California, and managing some of the biggest names in music. In this episode, we talk about his rise from a turbulent childhood to a career shaped by grit, intuition, and raw honesty—and how he’s stayed grounded through it all. - - - - - - - - - - - Liz Durham Instagram | Website Subscribe Apple Podcast | Spotify Being Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree P...

85. Motherhood Unfiltered

Y'all better buckle up because this episode is a rollercoaster... We’re covering it all, from shattered dishes before the first day of swim team, to overpriced Mickey waffles, and my very strong opinions on Disney World (spoiler alert: we won't be going back). I’m recapping our first ever trip to Disney, why it was chaos from start to finish, and how it confirmed I’m just not a “Disney mom.” I also share some real talk on letting our kids try hard things, even when it makes a mess, and my con...

84. Questioning the System, Vaccine Decisions, and Why Moms Deserve Better Conversations

Here’s the thing—just because someone’s wearing a white coat doesn’t mean they have all the answers. In Part 2, Jill and I pick up where we left off and dive straight into the deep end. We talk about the pushy vaccine talk, why tongue tie revisions might be a total scam (yep, I said it), and how even the “crunchy” holistic world can be just as profit-driven as Big Pharma. We also get into COVID, fear tactics, and how moms are expected to make huge decisions with zero real support—while also k...

83. The First Year of Motherhood, Tongue Ties, and Learning to Trust Yourself

Let’s be real—the first year of motherhood is basically a blur of leaking boobs, zero sleep, and wondering if you’ve totally lost yourself. In Part 1 of my convo with Jill Wright (a fellow mom and chiropractor I met on Instagram, because social media does occasionally do something right), we get into all of it. We talk about why that first year feels like you got hit by a hormonal freight train, how Jill’s background in holistic health influenced the choices she made as a mom, and why plannin...

82. Working Moms vs SAHM

Welcome back y'all. This solo episode of Being Different is going to be about problems AND solutions. I've been thinking about the differences between stay at home moms versus working moms. And I'm going to share my ideas for a new outdoor play program at my son's school. Look, I've been on both sides of the situation. I have worked 60-70 hour weeks, closing high pressure deals and now I'm a stay at home mom with three kids. I don't like that people make that distinction because being a stay ...

81. Dissolving Illusions: Polio, Propaganda, and the Problem with Modern Medicine with Roman Bystrianyk, Part 2

In this episode, I’m back with Roman Bystrianyk, co-author of Dissolving Illusions, and y’all—we go deep. We break down the story behind polio, and spoiler alert: it’s not what we were taught. From DDT and lead arsenate to the shifting definitions of polio cases post-vaccine rollout, Roman shows how much of what we “know” has been shaped by fear, not facts. We talk about how public health declined when we started relying on meds instead of nutrition, and how the obsession with vaccination ove...

Today’s episode is a real eye-opener. I’m sitting down with Roman Bystrianyk, co-author of Dissolving Illusions, and we’re diving into some seriously uncomfortable truths about the Industrial Revolution. We’ve all heard about how vaccines saved the day, right? Well, Roman’s here to flip that narrative. We talk about the grim reality of life back then—think poor sanitation, awful working conditions, and unhealthy living. Roman breaks it down: it wasn’t vaccines that dropped those mortality ra...

Y'all, buckle up because this episode is WILD! I sat down with Meredith Oke and learned more about light in one hour than I have in my entire life. We're talking about how those stupid blue lights and screens are basically destroying our health, why sunglasses might be the enemy, and how something as simple as morning sunlight can totally transform your body. If you're tired of feeling like garbage and popping supplements like candy, this episode is gonna blow your mind. Trust me, I went from...
