    AI Rewrote Her Breakup It Changed Everything! | Author Liv Maddux
    Apr 23 2025
    Lex sits down with author Liv Maddux (aka Lizzie) a tech exec and debuting author, to discuss her book Eight Days in a World Apart. The book was born of a deeply personal long-distance relationship that ultimately came to an end. Liv, a techie at heart, looked to AI to help her examine 500+ pages of WhatsApp messages. The episode explores how Liv used this process to re-examine the relationship, reconnect with herself, and find healing through creativity.Liv talks openly about authenticity, rejection, and emotional growth. She shares how AI surfaced patterns she hadn’t noticed, how she faced her own self-criticism, and how she decided to show up more grounded and aligned with her values. She also reflects on how being authentic has cost her relationships, but led to deeper self-connection and stronger bonds with people who accept her fully.If you've ever struggled with letting go, faced heartbreak, or felt the fear of showing up as your full self, this conversation will hit home. It's vulnerable, insightful, and filled with real talk about what it means to own your story.Find Liv: Instagram: @ms.olivia.madduxBook: Eight Days in a World Apart available on Amazon https://a.co/d/irowTmuFollow Lex: @the_lexrosa (IG)Follow the BQN Network: @BQNPodcasts (IG/Bluesky)Join FB: The BQN Collective Join Discord: / discord BQN Podcasts are made possible by the generous contributions of listeners like you.

    How Did She Go From Baseball to the Cockpit? (EP 103)
    Apr 23 2025
    From breaking into professional umpiring as a woman to becoming a pilot in a field dominated by young, wealthy men, Ria’s story is about defying expectations, embracing authenticity, and forging her own path.

    Ria spent her life feeling like an outsider—too Greek for America, too American for Greece, and too unconventional for every mold society tried to put her in.

    In this episode, she shares how she stopped trying to fit in, learned to trust herself, and took a leap that changed her life forever.
