EP70: How to Let Go and Move Forward From Past Relationships Jan 20, 2016

Show notes

Today's Ask Elizabeth question is something most of us have dealt with at some point or another in our lives whether it's in a romantic relationship or any other kind of relationship with a friend, family member, or even co-worker.

In this episode, I answer the following question:

On letting go - I need some more help in this territory, and saying goodbye to my previous relationship, help putting it in its place. I need some mental cues to get me out of downward spirals about it, the memories and feelings are haunting and simply unproductive.

EP69: Ezzie Spencer on Lunar Abundance, Yearnings, and Honoring Your Own Pace Jan 15, 2016

Show notes

I forget how long ago someone recommended I check out Ezzie Spencer's work around astrology and the moon, but I instantly loved her vibe and simple yet powerful way of teaching. Ezzie is someone, like a lot of our show guests who I've orbited around online for a while but hadn't connected with one on one until our interview, which makes it extra fun and special to be able to share that with you.

Since we get questions about the lunar cycle and how to connect with and work with lunar energy all the time, I hope you enjoy today's deep dive with someone who specializes in the subject.

About Ezzie Spencer:

Dr. Ezzie Spencer trained as a lawyer and did her PhD in women's wellbeing after sexual violence. She now teaches her personal practice called "Lunar Abundance" – how to cultivate inner peace and prosperity by following the moon's cycle.

EP68: How To Be A More Loving, Effective and Compassionate Communicator Jan 13, 2016

Show notes

I tried something new in this episode based on some feedback I've received and some requests. An audio book for Untame Yourself is in the works for later this year as we've had several requests from people for one and I'm excited to produce it, too. For today's episode, I'm reading chapter ten from the book on Transparent Communication to you. Back in December when I did the 12 Days of Untame Yourself free video course, this was one of the most popular chapter to ask questions on. I can't wait to see how everything lands for you in this format today.

EP67: Margaret Nichols on Grounded Spirituality and Urban Oneness Jan 10, 2016

Show notes

Last month my friend Margaret Nichols interviewed me for her website and I enjoyed the conversation so much, I had to have her on the podcast ASAP. In today's episode we talk about navigating big life transitions, acting out as an adult, spiritual kryptonite and the areas of yoga that most people miss out on.

About Margaret Nichols:

A writer and consciousness cheerleader in Manhattan, Margaret Nichols is a recognized leader + trainer in the Oneness Movement. Having been involved since 2006, she trained with monks in India and Fiji and now teaches in New York and as well as mentoring other trainers nationally. The goal of "Oneness" is to "help set humanity free." They let Margaret do this with high heels and great hair, so she is very pleased about that.

Although teachers, influences and studies are too numerative to list here, in addition to her vast Oneness fam, and the ongoing Ultimate grace of Sri AmmaBhagavan, in 2006 she lived in India while studying with the late contemporary yogi master Sri K Pattabhi Jois, and had a continued Ashtanga practice with master teacher Eddie Stern and his awesome crew of teachers in New York.

They and many others get mad gratitude for any grounding she might have. Om!

On the artistic front, Margaret has been a professional, award-winning actress in New York City and internationally for a decade and a half. Since 2001 she's been a member of the prestigious off-Broadway company: TACT (The Actor's Company Theatre). www.tactnyc.org

…and any bio would be remiss to not include her alma mater, the more than terrific:

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

In this episode, Margaret shares:

1. Navigating big life transitions 2. Acting out as an adult 3. Spiritual kryptonite and the areas of yoga that most people miss out on

EP66: Energy Tools and Practices for Empaths and HSPs Jan 06, 2016

Show notes

This week's question is something I've explored intensely myself since the summer of 2012 when I first started noticing how sensitive I was to other people's feelings and emotions. I love the way the question was asked too, because none of us want to feel super guarded all the time, but we also don't want to feel drained or depleted. In this episode I'm sharing my best tools and practices for you along with some extra resources in the show notes below. If you have any of your own practices you'd like to share, please let us know in the comments!

EP65: Jill Coleman on How to be #AntiFragile and Build Emotional Strength Jan 04, 2016

Show notes

With the New Year upon us and the pressure of resolutions, I'm excited to share today's guest with you, my good friend Jill Coleman. In this episode we talk about developing emotional strength, self-trust, how to make moderation a lifestyle (it's way less boring than it sounds!) and how to be #AntiFragile. It's a great follow up to my conversation with Jessi Kneeland from last week. Love you, wild souls!

EP64: A Riff on Guidance and How To Ring in the New Year Dec 30, 2015

Show notes

It's that time of year, when everyone and their mom is sharing up ways to ring in the new year, so a handful of people have asked me how I like to do it. My answers are in today's podcast episode.

EP63: Jessi Kneeland on Fitness, the Media, and Your Previous Body Dec 28, 2015

Show notes

Today on the podcast Jessi Kneeland and I get into the many ways people choose their mentors, a behind-the-scenes view at fitness in the media, and recognizing avoidance as fear.

About Jessi Kneeland:

Jessi Kneeland is a certified personal trainer, fitness expert, and blogger. She's a NYC dweller, a lover of Scotch on the rocks, and she believes in the magic of birthdays and full moons. She rhymes often, she prefers savory to sweet, and she can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than reading good fiction in the sunshine.

Jessi is tough, and sarcastic, and she's afraid of elevator doors. She loves deadlifting because it makes her feel like one of those little anime characters who power-up and then BURST into space! She loves sprinting because it makes her feel like a cheetah. She uses a lot of imagery, she's a feminist, and she cries so easily it's embarrassing.

Jessi is the creator of Remodel Fitness because it is her deepest wish that she may be able to help women everywhere harness the inherent power that they either don't know is inside of them, or don't feel they deserve to tap into.

It is incredibly empowering to put in the work and then actually see and feel the results in your body. It's rewarding and astonishing to realize that you are stronger and better this week than you were last week. She uses fitness to encourage a strong sense of self-worth, and foster body-positivity and self-acceptance along the way. She wants to help you achieve the body you deserve, while loving the body you have. She wants to create an army of women who feel empowered through fitness to dream bigger and live triumphantly, because she believes our world needs you.

In this episode, Jessi shares:

1. The many ways people choose their mentors 2. A behind-the-scenes view at fitness in the media 3. Recognizing avoidance as fear

EP62: What To Do When Things Aren't Going The Way You Wanted Them To Dec 22, 2015

Show notes

Today's Question: "I would love an "Ask Elizabeth" episode to be something along the lines of "What do you do when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed/let a conversation go somewhere you don't want it to/become overwhelmed with self doubt and/or the need for external validation?

I think those of us who work with you or just read your stuff harbor a somewhat delusional fantasy that you have managed to find a way to suppress all of these destructive feelings, when in reality, I suspect that your humanity gets the best of you sometimes and you don't cope as well as you might."

EP61: Justine Musk on How Women Experience The Hero's Journey Dec 20, 2015

Show notes

Today on the podcast Justine Musk and I get into the feminine role in the hero's journey, masculine and feminine as yin and yang, and our culture's treatment of young girls. I've known Justine for years and anytime I get to read her blog, hear her speak or have a conversation with her feels like mind-expanding delight. She's a deep thinker and provocative creator - listen closely to this one!

About Justine Musk:

Justine Musk writes about creativity, culture and self-discovery. I met Justine back in 2011 when we were in a mastermind together with Marie Forleo and just like her written word, her spoken words of feedback, creativity and ideas always blew me away. She is a deep thinker and someone you want to pay close attention to. Prepare to have your mind stimulated and your perspectives expanded. For more Justine, visit her blog.
