A community of doers & dreamers.

Let's face it, nobody has it all figured out. But a little bit of uncertainty never stops us doers from creating the life of our dreams. Inspired by Nancy Meyers' 2006 romantic comedy, The Holiday, this podcast is your ultimate guide to becoming the main character of your own life (and having a blast while doing it).

Hosted by the ever-adventurous Lily O’Brien a.k.a. Lil, we are on a quest to bring stories of gumption from the world, right to you. Spanning from the silly to the vulnerable, we are here to inspire action, make you laugh, and learn a lot about ourselves and the world around us.

  • Gumption is available anywhere you get your podcasts. Follow us on Spotify or Apple!

  • Our Instagram, @GumptionPod, shares real-time updates, new guests, merch info, giveaways and behind the scenes content. Not to mention, it’s adorable and fun… as seen below ;)

Meet the Host

Hi, I’m Lil.

I’m a gal who has always loved storytelling. Whether it be through writing, making art, or interpersonal connections. I created Gumption to continue the conversations that were inspiring me, and share them with YOU.

I love color, adventure, rom-coms, funky fashion, spooky books, sunshine and my friends. I love capturing my life through pictures, videos, voice recordings and doodles. I love collecting vintage trinkets, giving handmade gifts, and being a manic pixie dream girl. And I love reminding you that you ARE the main character of your own story. Live like it. 💕
