F&E: Through your work with The Cool Mom Co., have you rediscovered many personal passions, such as cooking or motherhood, that now shape the content and direction of your platform?

LIZZY: Cooking has always filled my soul; it is truly the heart of my home and my love language to my family and friends. Leaning into the food and home spaces just feels natural and authentic to the phase of life I’m in. I’m excited to share more of my passions with my audience—it's the best feeling when someone comments saying they’ve tried a recipe I posted!

F&E: Cooking plays an important role in your life, even with your busy schedule. How do you find the time, and what does cooking mean to you in terms of healthy, intentional meals for your family? Do you have any tips for juggling it all while making meals a meaningful part of family life?

LIZZY: I’ve always been a creative person, and over time, it has surfaced in various ways—writing, creating shows, acting, art—but cooking has always been my greatest passion. I find a sense of peace in the kitchen that I don’t always get in other parts of my day. Weekdays can be hectic with my husband’s, my own, and our kids’ busy schedules, but meal prepping helps a lot. I usually have a loose plan for the week’s meals and spend Sundays chopping, dicing, and prepping. Another hack is growing many of my own herbs, lettuces, and peppers in a hydroponic farming stand—I snip or harvest right before dinner. On weekends, I have more time to explore and test recipes, which I love since the slower pace makes me feel less rushed.

F&E: Raising daughters while being a modern mom must come with its own set of joys and challenges. How has motherhood influenced your approach to both personal and professional life?

LIZZY: The saying “all eyes on me” has never felt more true than when raising daughters. They truly are a reflection of me in such different ways. Motherhood accentuated a space in me that allowed me to feel fully empowered as a woman, mother, wife, and within my career. Every decision matters. I believe that how I choose to show up in the world directly impacts how my daughters may see the potential of their possibilities. My goal is to make sure they always know their potential is limitless.

F&E: Los Angeles is such a creative hub with its own unique aesthetic. How has the city’s style influenced your approach to interior design and how you style your own space?

LIZZY: I love a mix of a Cali-cool vibe with organic and modern design elements infused. I feel most at ease blending the clean lines and minimalist approach of modern design with warm, earthy accents like cozy textiles, natural materials, and a ton of greenery in a relaxed aesthetic that effortlessly results in light, airy, welcoming, and livable spaces. I love the idea of a space feeling aesthetically pleasing but also lived in, where family or friends can take over and enjoy. Living in California really allows me to utilize the outdoors as well and truly have the indoor/outdoor living experience.

F&E: How would you describe your personal style, and what are some of the most treasured pieces in your wardrobe you reach for again and again?

LIZZY: I like to keep it casual chic on most weekdays. I love pieces that can go from school drop-off to on set to a dinner meeting. For me, that may be a classic pair of jeans, a pointy-toed flat, a classic Frank & Eileen button-up, and a staple F&E sweater nearby for layering. On weekends, you can find me at the farmers market or running errands in the Frank & Eileen one-piece jumpsuits (that I get endless compliments on!).
