Nobody has all the answers, but most people have at least one. The only way to learn what others have to teach us is by talking to one another, listening and connecting. Part of what we're missing in our modern society is a deeper sense of connection and belonging. See the light in yourself, open up, and welcome others in.
This podcast is meant to encourage authenticity, honesty, kindness and love, by sharing the darkness and the light. Sharing the realities of our human experiences will help us feel safe to feel, and then ultimately connect as a byproduct of those shared feelings and experiences.

    Idea Exchange and the If Only Refrain

    Idea Exchange and the If Only Refrain

    Being present (and facing your emotions instead of just numbing) even in the thick of it. Not waiting until next week, next year, the next season of life to be happy, because there will be hardships in that chapter too. Sharing vulnerably, especially when it’s uncomfortable, and how exchanging ideas facilitates us thinking differently. Stop talking to s****y people. Be the light & love yourself, but you gotta put good stuff in your ears, or you become shitty.

    Food, Body, and Connecting Vulnerably

    Food, Body, and Connecting Vulnerably

    How has dieting effected us as a society? "Compulsive eating... is a way we leave our self when life gets hard."
    If we've all hit this pandemic wall, and are still not sure when regular socializing will happen again, how can we connect more deeply within the constraints and activities of what we're already doing?
    Sit with it. Speak it. Feel it.

Refreshing and much needed

Liz talks about all of life’s varieties... she goes through any thing anyone might be going through. And it’s exactly what I needed. She’s extremely vulnerable and authentic, and lets us into her life in a way other self-help podcasts do not. Thank you, Liz!

Changed my life

Liz’s kind words and her verbal truth have gotten me through some hard times. She has a beautiful soul and her easy speaking voice pulls you in and lulls you into a sense of security and comfort. I am an avid listener and I hope you all subscribe to follow along her incredible journey.
