Liz was also the long-time co-host of the award-winning podcast Satellite Sisters with her real-life sisters, so a new podcast seemed like a good way to do it! In Season 1, Liz is a Fellow at Stanford's Distinguished Careers Institute and taking classes all over Stanford. The goal of this year is to reconnect with herself, connect with similarly distinguished fellows (aka late career folks), and connect with Future Liz. In Season 2, Future Liz has to put herself out there. What's the plan? Tune in every other week for new episodes of Lizness School where she explores new choices and keeps her curiosity alive with her millennial mentor Leah Sutherland, who's in the messy middle of her own transitions.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T16:19:45.734356+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lizness-school-7066339"},"episode":{"title":"S2E9: Kira Dales and Stroke Recovery","slug":"s2e9-kira-dales-and-stroke-recovery","published_at":"2025-12-04T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lizness-school-7066339/s2e9-kira-dales-and-stroke-recovery","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lizness-school-7066339","url":"https://mgln.ai/e/211/rss.art19.com/episodes/74ed402d-4a39-42fa-b15c-e97a3d566860.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/211/rss.art19.com/episodes/74ed402d-4a39-42fa-b15c-e97a3d566860.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"Today's episode is inspired by a letter we received from listener Laura Tiberi asking us to consider how life choices can be different for \"those who are faced with significant transitions as a result of medical illness or injury.\" Laura was \"retired by leukemia\", has experienced two stem cell transplants and \"is 3 1/2 years old in transplant years.\" We speak to Kira Dales, a fellow Fellow of Liz's at Stanford last year, who tells us of her life since a brain tumor and stroke.
