If you’re exhausted from trying to “fix” your body, overthinking every spiritual tool, or chasing some elusive state of perfection—pause and breathe. I see you. That feeling of being stuck in patterns that no affirmation, meditation, or juice cleanse seems to touch? You’re not crazy. You’re smack-dab in the human experience—a place Liz (our guest and soul-voice for this episode) and I refuse to sugarcoat.

Today, we rip into the shiny promise of transformation culture. From my own brutal honesty about postpartum weight, perimenopause, and learning to actually inhabit my life, to Liz’s wild, embodied journey into surrender, partnership, and real-deal presence. This isn’t about bypassing your struggle or escaping it via the next retreat. We’re talking functional healing, messy feelings, hormone hell, joy, relationships, spiritual escapism—AND radical self-acceptance.

If you’re tired of “just think positive” advice, burned out on spiritual hustle, or grappling with body changes that make you want to crawl out of your skin, this episode is a safe, fierce, heart-led permission slip. We name the hard stuff, laugh anyway, and remind you: you don't have to fix yourself before you enjoy your own damn life.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why relying on manifestation or energy work alone can leave you more stuck and frustrated
• The reality of perimenopause, weight gain, and women’s hormonal changes (unfiltered and unashamed)
• How spiritual tools—meditation, hypnosis, Tantra—can blur into avoidance and escapism
• The difference between discipline and rigid self-punishment, and how to actually listen to your body
• What grounded healing looks like: combining earthly support (yes, the doctor, yes, the tests) with spiritual practices, without bypassing either
• Why presence isn’t just a buzzword, but the real source of joy, gratitude, and healing when you finally claim your own life

✨ Key Takeaway

You don’t have to “fix” your body or escape your mess to be deserving of joy—sometimes the bravest thing you can do is be wildly, fully present with your own life, as it is, right now.
