What if the version of you you've been holding back is actually the key to everything you want?
In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Lizzie Siegel, and wow….Just get ready!
Lizzie’s been through it all… trauma, chronic illness, financial rock bottom… and somehow turned it into deep healing, global impact, and a kind of spiritual groundedness that’s truly inspiring.
We talk about what it means to “choose your hard” and how the life you’re living right now might be harder than the one your soul actually wants you to step into.
Lizzie shares her journey of remembering who she really is and how that changed absolutely everything.
We get into:
- Why illness and stuckness often come from ignoring what we know deep down
- What happens when you finally say yes to yourself
- How she helps people rewire beliefs with something called PSYCH-K (and yeah, it works)
- And the wild thing that finally helped her leave a 17-year career and step into the unknown
This is one of those conversations that’s going to stay with you. Lizzie has such a grounded, no-fluff way of explaining really deep stuff in a way that is easy to digest and relate to.
If you’ve been feeling stuck or like you’re meant for more but can’t quite figure out how to get there, you're going to love this conversation!
And trust me, you’ll want to go follow Lizzie and stay in her world.
