Teatime with Miss Liz Serves: Monica DuBeau Title You Might Be a Zebra: When Refusing to Give Up Becomes the Diagnosis Tagline Sometimes the hardest battle is being believed. Description On June 5th at 3 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Monica DuBeau — entrepreneur, former IBM executive, AI compliance leader, author, advocate, and survivor whose extraordinary journey transformed personal crisis into purposeful impact. After spending 25 years building a successful corporate career that included leadership roles at JPMorgan Chase, IBM, and co-founding an AI compliance company, Monica's life took an unexpected turn when mysterious symptoms began disrupting her daily life. Despite years of seeking answers, she was repeatedly dismissed, misdiagnosed, and told her symptoms were stress-related. Refusing to accept uncertainty, Monica applied the same investigative mindset that fueled her professional success. After tracking 111 medical appointments across 26 providers, she ultimately uncovered the truth: she was living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Craniocervical Instability (CCI), a rare condition requiring highly specialized brain and spinal surgery. Now in recovery, Monica is turning her experience into advocacy through her memoir, You Might Be a Zebra, and a growing patient resource platform dedicated to helping others navigate rare disease journeys and find answers sooner. This Teatime is about self-advocacy, perseverance, identity, healing, and life's most unexpected challenges. Opening Teatime with Miss Liz, where we serve real-life T-E-A through stories that educate, inspire, and remind us of the strength that lives within each of us. Today, we welcome someone whose journey is a powerful reminder that sometimes we know our own story better than anyone else. Monica DuBeau spent years searching for answers while facing symptoms that few understood and many dismissed. Yet she never stopped advocating for herself, never stopped asking questions, and never stopped seeking the truth. Her story is one of courage, resilience, determination, and transformation — proving that even in our darkest chapters, purpose can emerge. Monica, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. ”Closing Today's conversation reminds us of the importance of listening—to our bodies, our instincts, and our own inner voice. Monica DuBeau's journey shows us that perseverance can uncover answers, that advocacy can create change, and that our greatest struggles can often become our greatest purpose.Through resilience, courage, and unwavering determination, she transformed a deeply challenging experience into a mission to help others feel seen, heard, and believed. As we leave today's Teatime, consider this: What would happen if you trusted your own voice enough to keep searching for answers when others told you to stop? Because sometimes the breakthrough begins when we refuse to give up. Monica DuBeau is a former IBM executive, entrepreneur, AI compliance leader, author, and advocate. After years of searching for answers, she uncovered her own diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Craniocervical Instability.

Merch - https://nonmembersshop.com/Happy National Wine Day! We are trying out a new podcast intro and struggling through this episode as Erin nurses a massive hangover after drinking a little too much at a surprise 50th birthday party at her sister's B&B. She also recaps the struggle of trying to leave the party while her 7-year-old decided to become a "party girl" and perform magic tricks with doorway streamers.We then dive into a heated rant about the disrespect of neighbors blasting bass music late at night when you have sleeping kids, and Erin reveals her passive aggressive revenge tactic: sending the kids outside early in the morning to aggressively ring their bicycle bells. In fitness news, Erin gives an exciting week six update on her "Pull-Up Revolution." She finally felt the right muscles activate, got her head to the bar, and used her newfound strength to casually lift a heavy shelving system into Dan's truck at Lowe's. We also review a brilliant new ASICS marketing campaign that shows "before and after" photos of runners taken just 15 minutes apart, highlighting that the mental sanity you get from a workout is the real transformation.For "Tea Time," we unpack the messy internet feud between a runner/musician named Zach and DJ Diplo. Diplo sparked massive outrage by claiming he no longer needs to pay human artists because he can just use AI, leading to a bizarre comment section war where Diplo punched down and insulted musicians as "degenerate alcoholics". We also debate a hilarious act of spite at a major PGA golf tournament in Philly, where a homeowner built a massive platform in their backyard just to peer over the privacy fence and watch the event with their friends.We also tease our upcoming trip to the Enhanced Games in Vegas. We get a terrifying update on the local black bear that has been destroying Erin's trash cans (and ripping off the metal pins).In pop culture, we review the 42 step daily routine of Bryan Johnson, longevity guy. Finally, we cover a disastrous Houston Astros 5K/10K where runners were backed up for over an hour just trying to cross the finish line on the field, and celebrate Canada hosting their very first National Women's Wheelchair Rugby Championship!

2026 is an exceptionally potent year and the middle of the year–the four months between the mutable seasons of Gemini and Virgo–is bringing specifically pivotal provocations and change. Throughout this period, the outer planets–Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto–are perfecting major aspects that describe collective transformation at foundational levels of culture, identity, technology, governance, imagination, and survival. These long-wave planetary dynamics will be repeatedly activated and amplified by the movements of the personal planets, the nodal axis, and eclipse cycles. The result is a season of mass mutability, acceleration, revelation, disruption, reorientation, and immense creative possibility.After recording readings for every sign through this upcoming period, I found myself wanting to offer a further collective message, so I created a special overview episode exploring the astrology from this mutable season to the next, and from the midpoint between eclipses to the next eclipse season. In it, I share some of the themes, patterns, cautions, and opportunities I'm seeing emerge across the collective field and within our personal lives.For a more personal breakdown of current astrology, make sure to listen to my season-ahead readings for your sign.⁠⁠⁠
