Hi, I’m Lisa Mustard, host of Soda City Living. I live in Columbia, South Carolina, where I work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist supporting the military population and their families.
As a longtime podcaster, community builder, and storyteller, I created Soda City Living to highlight the culture, neighborhoods, hidden gems, and local voices that shape life in Columbia and across the Palmetto State. Whether I’m talking with business owners, artists, leaders, or neighbors, my goal is simple: to connect us more deeply to where we live and inspire pride in our community.
When I’m not podcasting, I enjoy discovering new parts of South Carolina, and spending time with my family.
