The Friend Lab
The Friend Lab is a curious, candid, and sometimes chaotic exploration of what it means to be human together.
Hosted by Liz McKean: coach, hypnotist, yoga teacher, and professional untangler of shame, and Bryce The Third: performing artist, recovery advocate, speaker, author, and all-around creative force; this show lives at the intersection of friendship, growth, and real-life transformation.
Liz and Bryce come from different worlds, but their chemistry is undeniable. Their creative partnership is rooted in honesty, humor, and a shared obsession with understanding why we connect the way we do.
Each episode is a deep dive into the messy, magical terrain of being a person:
•friendships that evolve
•identities that shift
•coping tools that help (and sometimes don’t)
•recovery and what it looks like beyond the clichés
•personal growth that feels exciting one day and overwhelming the next
•the courage it takes to stay authentic, even when it’s uncomfortable
They’ll talk about the things people think about but rarely say out loud: the awkwardness, the misunderstandings, the breakthroughs, the belly laughs, the spiritual moments, the self-awareness spirals, and the quiet truths that change us.
This is not a show about having it all figured out.
It’s a show about experimenting with what it means to belong to yourself and to each other, one honest conversation at a time.
Whether you’re navigating recovery, building healthier relationships, reimagining your life, or just craving a podcast that feels like sitting on the couch with two friends who are delighted to be spending time with you, welcome to The Friend Lab.
