Be the glitch and other ramblings from a feverish mind. 

I am sick and wasn't going to put out an episode. 

I decided 5 minutes before I started to record that I was going to put this out.

Each small step, no matter how small, is bringing us closer to where we are meant to be. 

Don't get distracted.

This episode is taking it back to my roots. This is recorded on my phone, partially. 

In a world that is polished and AI generated, this is me, in my imperfectness, showing up raw. 

Life has been lifing for me, just as it has for everyone around me. 

I still want to show up and if that means I need to pivot then that is what I do. 

This is life. It is not a polished and perfect social media feed. That shit isn't real. While it may look pretty, it also makes us feel alone in our struggles, and with the thought that we have no idea what we are doing while everyone we see does. 

None of us know what we are doing. We are just doing our best to exist in a world where systems have been built that don't serve us on any level of our human being and making the best out of it and making life as beautiful as we can. 

I will always do my best to stay as transparent and real as possible (while maintaining my privacy). I will show you the nitty gritty of life and how I am moving through it with the tools I have. 

Our emotions do not dictate who we are. Our past is not who we are. Its how we show up despite all of the things. It's how we use what we are shown and keep moving forward. It's resting when necessary and not waiting until we are forced into it. It is realizing patterns and not intellectualizing them to bypass them. 

We cannot bypass and ignore signs and symptoms, and hope things get better. We have to be responsible for our minds, bodies, souls and lives. 

In a society build for compliance, be a rebel. Be so you that and so free that the system fractures just a little bit. 

Be authentic. Be in integrity. Be Sovereign. 

Dance, play, write, create, get into nature, love fiercely, just live!

Thank you for being here rebel souls. 

You are worthy. You are enough. I am proud of you. You are loved. 

Keep going alchemists. 

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. 

With Love, 

Lizzie

Sometimes the alchemy is hiding in what we call rambling. Most people don't understand that in the rambling are "ah-ha" moments. People will send me voice messages and then apologize for rambling, and I tell them not to. Some of the best gold is hidden in these seemingly meaningless conversations. 

I have so many great conversations that had so many codes and keys for myself and others and all we did was ramble and allow the conversation to lead where it would naturally go. 

In this episode I just take you through a few things I have been noticing as a theme within myself and others in terms or integration and what it feels like, parenting a magical and self-aware teenager and other small thoughts in my head. 

Thank you for being patient with my in my messiness. Messy alchemy is just part of who I am.

Episode 75 | The Alchemy of Pressure, Softness, and Becoming Gold

You’re not behind. You’re under pressure — and that pressure is shaping you into gold.

What if the pressure you’re feeling right now isn’t a sign you’re failing…
but a sign you’re in the midst of transformation?

In this episode, I explore the deeper alchemy of pressure — not as something that forces us to hustle harder or prove our worth, but as something that shapes us slowly, gently, and powerfully over time.

Diamonds are not made by rushing.
Gold is not created by panic in the fire.
And neither are you.

We talk about:
• The difference between force and true transformation
• Why growth can feel heavy even when you’re aligned
• Transformation, presence, and trusting your timing
• Softness as strength in the alchemical process
• How pressure can shape you without breaking you

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re behind, unseen, or transforming quietly while the world keeps moving.

You are not failing.
You are becoming gold.

There is a bonus Visualization in a new playlist because I want things to be easier for you to access and come back to. 

Thank you for being here for 75 episodes!

This is the beginning….small sustainable steps.

This is where alchemy really begins — not with changing the world around you, but with becoming more aware of what is already happening within you and who you are. 

As you grow, shift and evolve, the reality around you shifts. 

Internal matches external. (More on this in another episode)

This is the small beginnings of magic and alchemy. 

I tried to bring things as close to the beginning as I could because I am asked a bout this a lot. 

Magic and alchemy aren’t always easy and it will take lots of iterations of potions and mixtures to find what you are looking for. 

Be patient and please know everyone’s path is different. Yours won’t look like mine and mine won’t look like someone else’s. We can still use similar tools, but the path will look different and that it okay. We are all finding our unique magic. 

I really hope that this helps and lands as I intended. 

If you have questions, please feel free to find our private group on Facebook, where we go deeper into these discussions. 

I hope you learn how magical you are. 

I hope you know that you are loved and worthy just as you are in this moment. 

The future is human and as we all begin to find ourselves the human collective shifts and evolves. 

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy

With love,

Friday the 13th has a way of making us confront the things we’re secretly afraid of…and for many of us, love is one of them. With Valentine's Day being tomorrow, I thought this may the perfect time to cover this subject. 

Love is not something that can be quantified. 

It exists within us and all around us and who we are as human beings at our core. 

Society wants to place conditions on what love is and I call BS. 

This episode is about love, but not in the way you may think. 

This is a longer episode with a visualization at the end. If you choose the do the visualization at the end, please make sure you are in a place you feel supported and safe. 

Love doesn’t always look the way we were taught it should.
It isn’t always loud, passionate, or permanent in one expression.
Sometimes it transforms into friendship.
Sometimes it becomes distance with care.
Sometimes it remains quietly in the background as a sincere wish for someone to live a beautiful life.

I tried to take care when prepping and recording this one because I wanted to cover everything about the topic that I could in a short period of time.  

I go over everything from my perspectives, to loving as a mom, what society tries to tell us, the different types of love, intimacy and safety, the messy, very human nature of loving others while still learning to love ourselves, and everything in--between. 

Thank you for being here with me. 

Please know you are enough. You are loved. You are worthy of love in every version of you. I believe in you. 

Keep going. 

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. 

With Love, 

Lizzie

This episode came to me when I woke up at 2 something in the morning. I was like " I need to write this down". 

I sleepily thought "Are you serious?", as I wrote down the title and a couple of notes. 

Thresholds are being passed daily as I find the balance between staying present and geeking out with what is going on within me and around me. 

We have the choice to freeze our asses off and be uncomfortable, or, we can turn on the heat and decide to stop being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. 

Life doesn't have to be a struggle or hard just because it always has been. 

Maybe turning on the heat instead of freezing will allow you the focus and allow the space for you to do what you need to, with more ease and less struggle. 

Each small sustainable step and inspired action, no matter how messy, is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. 

Let me know if I need to go more unhinged in these episodes. 

Keep creating alchemy.

Lizzie

I don't have a long drawn out write up. 

I did have a long write up planned but simplicity is needed. 

This is a story of hope. 

A story that humanity isn't broken no matter what they show you. 

While it seems like the world is burning, there are humans out there doing good. If you can't find those humans, be that human. 

I wanted to share hope in a time where people are quickly losing it. 

Sending love to all those in need.

TRIGGER WARNING

Please always trust yourself. 

This episode touches on a heavier experience, but it is shared through the lens of safety, embodiment, and regulation — not shock or detail.

If you choose to listen, you are invited to do so at your own pace. You are welcome to pause, skip sections, or come back another time. Nothing in this episode requires you to relive anything or go deeper than your body is ready for.

The intention of this conversation is to explore how the body holds and releases experiences, how nervous systems move through moments of shock or overwhelm, and how regulation can happen gently, over time, and without force.

This episode is for you if:

you want to understand your body’s responses with more compassion

you’ve ever felt confused by delayed emotional or physical reactions

you’re learning how to listen to your body instead of overriding it

you want reassurance that your pace is valid

There is no instruction here to “fix” yourself.
No demand to heal faster.
No expectation that anything needs to happen while you listen.

This is an episode about trusting your body’s intelligence, honoring your own timing, and remembering that safety, support, and regulation are possible — even after something unsettling.

Simply listening is enough.

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy.

Lizzie

UPDATE: My friend reached out to re-explain the universe part of expansion. While I understood, my brain kind of sees things as they are in a constant state of expansion and contraction. While I understand the Universe is always expanding, according to the current scientific models, I explained it from my perspective. What I see is something like, what is in theory, the Big Bounce, which proposes many big bangs and big crunches. This makes the most sense to me personally because of how we expand and contract as energetic beings. If we are the universe experiencing itself, then it makes the most sense that if we are expanding and contracting, then the universe must be as well. I could absolutely be wrong and that is okay, but it is how I see things. That is the beauty of being human.  What my friend was explaining is more of what science says is true which is the Big Bang happened and now there is constant expansion. I wanted to clarify for any science nerds out there as I love science. This time I mixed science, theory and metaphysics. I misquoted and wanted to clarify. As always, question everything and find your truth.

This episode started with me rambling, as always. Then it lead to me talking about my car stereo being reset to neutral — and turned into a reflection on how often we live our lives tuned to other people’s settings.

When everything was restored back to baseline, the music sounded completely different. Clearer. Truer. More mine. And it made me realize how often we try to copy how others live, create, or move through the world — instead of honoring our own frequency.

You weren’t meant to live your life on someone else’s settings.
Your frequency matters — and it sounds best when it’s yours.

This episode is about the kind of resistance you don’t recognize until it’s already loosening its grip.

I share how joining group coaching felt different this time—not because it wasn’t aligned, but because I was already at capacity. Emotionally. Energetically. Financially. And yet, something made it clear that this was still in my best and highest good.

We talk about:

~the resistance that comes before expansion

~trusting your body when things are foggy

~saying yes even when it stretches you

~the difference between pushing and consenting

~and the collective intensity so many are feeling right now

I’m scared—but not in a wrong way.
In the way that says: something is growing.
I didn't even realize this until after I said "Yes."

This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of expansion, learning to trust themselves and the timing of their life.

You are safe. 

You aren't alone.

This episode is a reflection on what happens when you stop resisting and start moving — even in the smallest ways.

I share how going to the gym sparked inspiration for a new structure within Inspired Alchemy, how choosing embodiment over resistance creates momentum, and why real change doesn’t need to be loud or grand to matter.

We talk about:

-What happens when you get sick of your own sh*t

-Being the change you want to see in the world

-How small actions (even a smile) create ripples

-How sharing your story can help someone feel less alone

-Noticing the subtle shifts that quietly transform everything

This episode is about alignment in motion — not perfection, not force, just presence and choice.

Because sometimes the smallest shifts are the ones that change everything.

Polyvagal funsies and some Inspired Alchemy updates: 

As we come upon the holidays, here is another invitation to pause. 

If everything feels like it’s moving too fast…
If your mind can’t keep up…
If your body can't keep up...
If you feel stuck, scattered, or unable to find the right words —

Nothing is wrong.

This episode is an invitation to pause and let your body catch up to the changes already in motion. When life is shifting rapidly, the nervous system needs space to integrate before clarity arrives.

Instead of analysis or answers, this episode offers a gentle, polyvagal-informed visualization to help regulate, ground, and return to center.

You don’t need to push.
You don’t need to fix anything.
You don’t need to know what’s next yet.

Please sit with me and just lay it all down for a few minutes.

You deserve this time for yourself. 

You are worthy of this pause. 

All of this is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy.

*Whispers in a soft tone. "Stop trying to hold it all. You don't have to. Put it down."

We’ve been conditioned to believe that strength means silence…
that independence means isolation…
that asking for help somehow subtracts from our worth.

But here’s the truth:
You don’t get bonus points for carrying the entire world by yourself.

In this episode, we explore the alchemy of asking for help —
why it feels so hard,
what it reveals in your shadow,
and how letting yourself be supported is actually part of your transformation.

Because even the strongest alchemists need a hand to hold the heat.
And sometimes the bravest thing you can do…
is let someone show up for you.

This episode is… messy. Like messy messy. 
Chaotic.
Weird.
And I kind of just let it make its own way. 

I talk about my trip through the Appalachian mountains — the hikes, the waterfalls, the strange encounters, the thorn that pricked my finger, and the moments that felt like reality glitched.

Nothing was linear.
Nothing made perfect sense.
But everything felt meaningful in a way I’m still processing.

Sometimes alchemy isn’t clean or poetic — sometimes it’s strange, blurry, and way out of order… just like life.

This episode is me trying to make sense of the things that didn’t make sense.

Welcome to the weird side.

Not everyone has somewhere to go for the holidays.
Not everyone feels held, seen, or welcomed this time of year.
And for many, the quiet becomes loud, the memories become heavy, and the loneliness sinks in deeper than usual.

This episode is for them.
For you.
For anyone whose heart aches a little harder during the season when the world expects joy.

Inside this special holiday message, I invite you into the warmth of Black Cathedral — a place where no one is left outside in the cold.
A place where there is always a seat at the table.
Where the candles glow softly, the air hums with belonging, and the energy of community wraps itself around you.

You are not broken for feeling how you feel.
You are not invisible.
You are not forgotten.
And you are never alone on this path — not in Black Cathedral, not in this community, and not in the alchemy of your becoming.

Come sit at the table.
There’s room for you here.

You are enough and loved just as you are. 

With love,

Society is broken and it doesn't get to choose who you are or how you live your life— and yet somehow we let it tell us who to be, how to live, and what our happiness is supposed to look like.
This episode is your reminder that choosing yourself is the real rebellion.
No more shrinking.
No more excuses.
No more waiting for permission.

We’re done pretending that “normal” is working.
That burnout is normal.
That disconnection from self and others is normal. 
That division is normal 
That self loathing is normal. 
That being in survival mode or constant shut down is normal. 
That having a nervous system that doesn't know if you are being chased by a bear or talking to the check out clerk is normal. 

It’s time to say "nah, this doesn't work for me" and choosing a life that’s actually yours.
Your joy is rebellion and finding it internally means no one can take it. 
Your truth is revolution. 
Your sovereignty changes the collective.
Step into your becoming.
Authenticity is alchemy.
Step into freedom. 

Reclaim your fire. 
Honor your cathedral. 
Its time to rise. 

The system wasn’t built for your soul —
so stop molding yourself to fit it.

Alchemy is choosing authenticity in a world that profits off your numbness.

This is a very quick and messy video explaining a couple of changes coming until I can assess everything moving forward. I will continue with 1 episode per week until after the first of the year with possible bonus content. 

As we grow, evolve and navigate life, pivots are necessary and so is change.  

I am hoping to be less awkward on camera as I go forward. I don't edit things so, it will just be messy.

As you are aware, my life is burning to the ground, and I am slowly rebuilding from the rubble. 

I am a mess. I will never lie about what I am growing through. I will never pretend everything is okay for the sake of image. 

Alchemy is real and it is raw and if I lied about my journey, I wouldn't be helping anyone, not even myself. 

I am raw, honest, and as open as I can without compromising my privacy. 

To many, my growth and rebirth looks like insanity and it will probably continue to look insane to people. That is okay. I am not here for people everyone to understand. I am here for those ready to walk in the fire of Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. 

Alchemy looks like chaos before it looks like clarity.

This episode explores:

~why transformation feels like insanity,

~why chaos is part of the alchemical process,

~why people who aren’t doing the work will always misunderstand those who are.

~a couple of things you can do to help yourself through the process

We talk about the emotional and energetic turbulence that happens as we shed identities, patterns, relationships, and versions of ourselves that no longer fit.

You’re not losing your mind.
You’re losing what you were never meant to carry.

Only those on the path understand.

Remove the masks. 

You aren't broke. 

Keep creating alchemy.

Last night was heavy… and this morning, nature answered in a way I didn’t expect.

Sometimes the universe answers you through symbols — not words.

After a night of deep emotional heaviness, I woke to two messengers:
a crow that landed beside me as I asked, “Am I still in alignment?”
and a twig ant that stung me, returned a second time, and offered a lesson in grounded perseverance and compassion. I had the choice of how to react and I chose love and compassion, even for an ant. 

In this episode, we explore:

The crow as an alchemist of shadow, intuition, truth, and confirmation

The twig ant as a symbol of groundedness, resilience, patience, and persistence

The moment we realize that all beings — even the smallest ones — have a right to exist as they are

The difference between reacting from pain and responding from presence

How nature mirrors what we need to see in ourselves

The crow brought validation.
The ant brought embodiment.

Together, they showed me that even in moments of uncertainty, chaos and pain, we are guided — not by logic, but by the language of the natural world, awareness and intuition. 

“Alchemy is not escaping life. It is learning from everything life sends to you.”

As we move through messy layers, give yourself grace and understanding. 

You are allowed to exist as you are and to take up space. 

Be a rebel soul. Be consistent in Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. 

Learn to surrender and trust (this is very challenging). 

Love yourself. This is where alchemy starts and ripples out into the world. 

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. 

Keep going.

Thank you for being patient with my messy. 

My intention is to always show up and give you all I have, even if my all id different each time. Even messy and imperfect I show up. 

This episode is for the days when nothing feels right.
When the energy is off. 
When the inspiration isn’t there.
When there is lack of motivation. 
When you don’t want to show up… but you know you need to.

Alchemy isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect feeling.
Alchemy is what happens when you choose to show up anyway — messy, tired, uninspired and just human.

In this episode I talk about: 

~the myth that inspiration must come first

~how to keep moving forward even when nothing feels aligned

~how to alchemize overwhelm, stagnancy, and doubt into presence

~why integration seasons feel like “nothing is happening” (even when everything is shifting)

You don’t have to feel inspired to be in your purpose or to be in alignment. 
You don’t have to feel ready to take the next step, you just keep taking the small steps.

Sometimes the most powerful transformation is simply not abandoning yourself.

In this episode, like I mentioned in the last episode, we will explore the witch and the werewolf within. 

I will then do my best to blend the witch, scientist and werewolf and explain as I myself process these ideas. 

There werewolf is a newer idea for me, so this episode is messier then the last. While I have always been a magical and science minded, this new raw and primal werewolf is something I am working on and discovering and seeing how all of this relates to the alchemical process. 

In this episode I give a small visual and it relates to a very messy sharing of something I wrote, called the witch and the werewolf, of course. 

Again, i am having to reverse engineer and research to explain my process, especially for things I have always just done. 

Thanks for being here in the messiness.

In part 1 of this, right now, 2-part series, we discuss the first two parts of a triad I am working on. 

I have always been witchy and in love with science. I even got accepted to a prestigious science program, and sorority, when I was going into high school. I was unable to attend because  I was moving. I will continue to work to meld the two worlds as I learn and grow. Magic is just science that hasn't been discovered, yet. 

Part two will come out Friday where I talk about the witch and the werewolf and how the witch, scientist and werewolf are all part of your inner alchemist. 

Alchemy lives at the crossroads of intuition and logic — it’s the sacred marriage of the witch and the scientist.

Both the witch and the scientist are essential for transformation. The witch trusts the unseen, the rhythms, the energies, and the cycles. The scientist observes, experiments, and seeks evidence. Together, they forma powerful bond for the alchemical process. Beliefs grounded in awareness, intuition guided by observation, and mystery supported by method.

I go over: 

-Some personal stories.

-The Witch as a symbol of intuition, ritual, and surrender to the unseen.

-The Scientist as a symbol of curiosity, experimentation, and understanding through structure.

-How you can blend magic and method in your own life — using both intuition and critical thought.

-I also take you through a guided visualization where my cat decides to chime in on the visual. lol

This balance is so needed right now because collective energy is craving both mystery and reason. In part 2, I will blend these two with the primal side of the werewolf, which is very new to me in my embodiment process, so part 2 is definitely messy.

This is for anyone who’s ever felt “too magical for logic” or “too logical for the magic.” You don’t have to choose — you can be both. This is powerful embodiment.

Are you haunting yourself with the ghost of "not ready yet" or allowing the fear monster to guide you instead of your intuition? 

Ready is not a feeling it is a choice. While intuition does play into it, there is something deeper at work here. 

If we wait until we "feel" ready, we may never chose or move forward, staying stuck in the web of delay. 

In this Halloween-inspired episode, I explore how spooky archetypes remind us that readiness is an alchemical act. Ghosts haunt us when we don’t release the past, the idea of monsters in our room or closet grow until we open the door and decide to face them, and werewolves transform whether they feel ready or not but change gets easier when they stop resisting. 

Ready is a choice and every choice we make is alchemy and a step on our path. As we move in uncertainty and take action, the path is illuminated. 

I also take you on a short visual journey to find your readiness key. 

Thank you for being here with me.

Every ghost is a memory, every monster is hidden power, and every trick carries the seed of a treat.

Halloween is costumes, candy, and spooky stories — BUT it’s also a mirror for the alchemical process we all go through. Yes, i said it. It's also about alchemy. The archetypes of this season — ghosts, witches, skeletons, monsters, and more — are fun but can also be related to alchemy. They reflect the shadows we carry, the parts of ourselves we fear, and the lessons waiting to be alchemized.

In this playful yet powerful episode, I explore:

The archetypes of Halloween and how they reveal our shadows (ghosts as the past that haunts us, skeletons as the bare bones of truth, monsters as repressed power, witches as intuition, and more).

Haunted houses & Graveyards — how unresolved patterns or grief can feel like hauntings, and how to transform them through awareness. How Graveyards can also mean new beginnings. 

Trick or treat alchemy — how life’s challenges and joys both act as teachers, showing us that every trick can hold the seed of a treat.

This episode is a reminder that shadow work doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Sometimes it’s spooky, playful, and magical — and Halloween is the perfect time to remember that your shadows are not curses, but invitations to transformation.

I have almost 41 years of spooky stories to tell of weird things that have happened to me. 

In this episode, I talk about the latest occurrence.  

It actually happened this week. 

I am someone who tries hard to stay skeptical yet open minded, especially with the nature of my work, but things are proven time and time again. 

If you like Spooky Story Time, please let me know and I can tell more stories.

If you are thinking does this relate to alchemy, yes, yes it does. Everything along our path can be alchemized, It can be transmuted and it can hold keys and codes. Story telling, art, self expression, dance and everything that is a part of your journey is part of your alchemical solution or mixture. Sometimes it happens to include spooky things. 

If you want to know more about the different types of clairs or anything else that relates to mediumship or the paranormal, please let me know!

I hope you enjoy my spooky but not too spooky story.

Alchemy isn’t only about fire and shadow — it’s also about creation. In this episode, I explore how art and creative expression are essential tools for alchemy, whether your art is sculpting, dancing, coloring, music, writing, or simply moving your body. Creativity helps us break free from stagnancy, and stagnancy is not the same as integration.

This is soul alchemy. 

I share how:

Art is alchemy — and why expression matters for moving through mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks and how those around me are doing this. 

Music like the Twenty One Pilots albums storytelling and even how artists like Ghost’s Tobias Forge carry the alchemical process within their art.

Parenting and connection thrive when we allow space for conversation, even about things like Stranger Things, music or anything else my daughter find interesting or important. She is always teaching me. 

Our kids are always listening, watching, and reflecting their own alchemy back to us and acting as a mirror for own own alchemy. 

Small moments of courage — like sharing energy work with my doctor — can open doors to unexpected opportunities

This episode is a reminder that even when things feel scattered or unclear, creativity is a compass. Keep creating, keep expressing, keep asking the universe to show you what’s next — even the smallest steps forward matter.

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy.

As seasons change, so do we. Growth, release, alignment — all of it has a rhythm that mirrors the turning of the leaves, the cycles of the earth, and the quiet transitions we often overlook.

In this episode, I share my own journey through a recent somatic emotional release session and how it helped me shed layers I didn’t even realize I was holding. I talk about the grief and release that followed, the unexpected peace that came with it, and how those shifts opened me up to serve my clients in deeper ways.

I also explore how conversations, synchronicities, and even the simple act of sitting in my backyard — watching the falling leaves, listening to birds, noticing the movement of squirrels — reminded me of something powerful: everything has its season.

This is an episode about seasonal alchemy:

How our bodies, emotions, and energy shift like the seasons

Why release creates space for alignment (even when things don’t make sense)

The magic of finding peace in simple, everyday moments

Allowing ourselves to trust the cycles of grief, release, rebirth and joy.

Holding a deep gratitude for this journey. 

Please remember you are not walking this path alone. 

Sometimes alchemy looks like fire and ashes. Other times, it looks like the quiet fall of leaves reminding us to let go.

Sending love.

In this episode, inspired by my daughter, I shift gears. 

I share a couple of my stories and a guided visualization that will help you get into the energy of alchemical play. 

We often think of shadow work, personal development and growth as painful and heavy. It doesn't always have to be this way. We can choose to shift into a more lighthearted space. I'm not saying this is always possible, but even just recording this, I felt a shift in my energy. 

We often forget how important play is. I speak about it often, but I also forget myself as I get caught up in my own heaviness and growth and life itself. 

Play is often overlooked in the growth and alchemical process because we have been taught play doesn't exist past being a child and this is wrong. Its how we learn and grow and it is an extremely important part of alchemy. 

Play isn’t a distraction — it’s integration. It opens the body, moves stagnant energy, resets the nervous system, and makes space for creativity and freedom. Without play, transformation gets heavy. With play, we remember why we’re here in the first place.

This episode is your reminder: becoming doesn’t have to be all fire and ashes. Sometimes it’s dancing in your kitchen, laughing until your belly hurts, or finding wonder in something small and silly. Play is not just fun — it’s medicine for the mind, body and soul. 

As always, thank you for being here with me. 

Keep going. Keep creating alchemy. Stand sovereign. Play.

First, thank you for being here for 50 episodes! Thank you for your time, your support and your belief or even non-belief in me. Not everyone will resonate and that's okay. It fuels me to become better each and every day, one small step at a time. This may seem like a small milestone to some, but for me, it is huge, and I am so grateful for this journey. 

The belief, the tough love, the passion and the energy those around me have propelled me forward and for that I will be forever grateful. 

I could have given myself a thousand reasons to not keep going but I did and now, here we are. 

Do I know where this path leads, no. But I will continue to do everything with intention. I will continue to create Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. I will keep creating alchemy with each inspired action. I will keep going. 

This episode is exactly what it sounds like. 

This was such a scary episode for me to release. I didn't even know this was going to be the topic until it was. I wasn't planning on releasing things yet, but we all know what happens to plans sometimes...

While it may seem silly since this is "just" a brief introduction, this is also a part of my soul. This is something I have been working towards my entire life, even before it had a name. 

I have no idea where this path will lead or in what time frame, but I do know this seemingly small step is the step I need to take now. 

Keep going alchemists. 

Welcome to the sanctuary. 
Your shadows belong here. 
Your becoming begins here.
Welcome to The Black Cathedral.

Alchemy doesn’t just happen in the mind and soul— it happens in the body as well. Every day we are working toward alchemy on every level of our being. 

In this episode, I talk about why we can’t leave the physical body behind in the process of alchemical transformation. Just as we face energetic and mental blockages, the body holds its own — and when left unaddressed, those blockages ripple outward into our mental, emotional, and energetic fields. We hold so much in our bodies. Even if we have processed it in our heads, our body still holds on until we process these things. 

I explore how practices like lymphatic drainage, movement, and physical self-care can create more space in the body, allowing energy to flow more freely. Because when body and energy align, transformation deepens.

When we create space in our body for flow, we 

This is a reminder that healing isn’t only about shadow work or energy work — it’s about honoring the body as the temple, the vessel, and the foundation of your alchemical fire.

Shadows, Connection and Becoming The Vessel

In this episode I am messy and scattered and feeling all of the things. 

Everything is heavy and everyone can feel it. 

Now is the time for real alchemy. Real integration. Radical self honesty. Radical transformation. 

Now is the time for connection in a world that tells you to disconnect and further divide yourself from others. 

I share inspiration from some of the conversations I've had this week and how they have illuminated things for me in a way I wasn't expecting. 

A few points I touch on:
~Chaos as a catalyst
~Connection
~The sacred act of pausing
~The collective of humanity and what that means on an individual level
~A very short visualization for becoming the vessel (Black Cathedral) 
~An invitation to connect to yourself and others
 and more ramblings of a scattered alchemist's mind. 

Thank you for being here with me. 

Thank you for walking beside me on this messy journey. 

Sending love to all of those in need.

In this episode I go over the very beginning basics of understanding your energy and the energy around you. I know I may have gone over these things before, but I felt that with everything floating around there, I felt called to speak on it again. 

I also talk about growth can sometimes change the energy in your relationship dynamics and it doesn't mean anything about you or the other person. 

This is a simple episode and a bit messy. 

I give you a couple things to think about. If you feel called start a conversation in the comments or feel free to reach out to me. 

Don't dim your light. 

Don't shrink to fit into the box society built for you. 

We have seen society, and we are not here to fit in. 

We are here to shake things up. To alchemize and to become. 

Thank you for being here.

We are alchemists and we will rise with each step, no matter how small. 

I know things are challenging but I also know you're capable. 

Be careful with your words as they are spells and be careful with your thoughts as they create your reality. 

I appreciate each and every one of you and your time.

Sometimes the world feels unbearably heavy, and this is when we can alchemize. In this episode, I let my heart bleed a little as I reflect on the words of Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings:

“There’s some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.”

With tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, I talk about why I wake up each day, why I choose to keep going, and how every one of us has a choice and we must decide how we want to show up in this world. We must decide the legacy we want to leave for those who come after us. We must choose to change. 

We explore:

~Why change needs to start within us and how things change one choice at a time
~How I personally choose Inspired Perpetual Alchemy and how it is woven into daily action and intention
~Turning away distraction and hate and choosing instead connection with our fellow humans
~Alchemizing the heaviness of the world into purpose, presence, and hope

This is a heavy episode, but also one filled with fire. My soul burns. Because no matter how dark things get, there is still good in this world. And it’s worth alchemizing ourselves to protect it.

I know things feel heavy, but I have hope and I will continue to hold on to that each and every day. Not just for me, but for my daughter and for those around me. Even in the shadows, I choose to love. 

You can't control the darkness, but you can choose to light a candle. 

Every day you have a choice to feed the fear or fight for the light. 

Remember that all the choices you make are alchemical. 

You aren't alone.

Lizzie

This episode is a little different. Over the past few days, I’ve had several conversations about my work as an alchemical facilitator — what I do, why I do it, and why the how matters. I also talk a little bit about my why. 

My goal has always been simple: to hold space where people leave feeling more empowered, more connected to themselves, and with tools they can carry forward on their journey. I’ll never claim to know everything. I won't be right for everyone, period and I won't pretend to be. That's okay. Safety is always key for me. 

I also talk about something equally important but only briefly: how to choose the right guide for you. In the coaching, spiritual, and self-development spaces, there are beautiful teachers doing incredible work… but there are also red flags worth noticing. I share a few insights to help you navigate these choices, trust your discernment, and honor your own path of becoming. Something I did forget to mention when choosing a guide/facilitator is how it feels within your body. If that is something you would like me to go into, let me know.

This episode is for anyone curious about my work, searching for their next mentor, or simply wanting to better understand the alchemical spaces.

There is no order to my story. 

It is messy just like me. 

While my trauma may not be as bad as some, and I will tell the story as things come up. 

I have lived in garages, slept under air hockey tables, lived with family and was raised by family, I have raised myself, my mother and my brother.  I have been a*used and I have witnessed it. I have been in homes where dr*gs and alc*hol were abused heavily. I was reminded every single day how lucky I was to exist when I could have been snuffed out easily. 

Little by little I will talk about the things that make me, me. 

I will open up as I remember things and relate them to how I grow and love now as a woman and a mother. 

I will show my story and what it means to alchemize your past and choose who you want to become. 

Pleas be patient while I unravel my story.

This journey is about taking the train into the unknown shadows and finding out that its taking you to the most beautiful places 

In this episode, I explore the metaphor of transformation as a journey: sometimes the train speeds forward, sometimes it slows down, and sometimes it stops completely — forcing us to sit with what’s uncomfortable. Growth asks us to trust the process, even when we can’t see the next station/stop, even when the scenery feels unfamiliar, and especially when life invites us to pause. Its asking you to take your fear and transmute it to see the beauty in the journey. 

I weave together themes of energy shifts, sovereignty, changes within relationships and life in general, and deep inner work, touching on:

The connection between alchemy, shadow integration, and embodiment

Learning to release control and surrender to your timing

How the nervous system and intuition guide us through the unknown

Strengthening your connection to yourself and others

Why slowing down is sometimes the most powerful transformation of all

This is an episode about trusting the ride and integration of the journey— about letting yourself feel, integrate, and grow while honoring your own pace. You are becoming, and the train is already moving and taking you home to self. 

While there are times we need to do the work alone, we aren't really alone. We weren't meant to do this alone. 

Thank you for being here with me. For witnessing this messy alchemy and supporting me.

You can’t build a solid foundation by covering cracks with pretty wallpaper.

In this episode, I dive into the hard truth of alchemy: there are no shortcuts. Just like renovating a home, you can’t bypass the structural work and expect the walls to stand. You can paint, you can decorate, you can make it look beautiful on the surface — but if the foundation is unstable, it will all eventually crumble.

We have to work in way that is sustainable. In a way that the work we do will stick. If we try to move too fast it may not be sustainable. It may also cause more harm than good. 

Build your foundation so that whatever comes next will have a safe and solid place to land and build from. 

Healing works the same way. Band-Aids can’t hold forever. Affirmations won’t hide avoidance. Spiritual bypassing isn’t freedom — it’s delay. The work of becoming who you’re meant to be isn’t always easy. It requires honesty, pain, patience, and radical self-compassion. But the reward? True freedom.

In this episode, we explore:

Why fast doesn’t always mean forward

The possible issues of bypassing pain in the name of progress

Taking the time to rebuild yourself from the inside out

Understanding that shortcuts cost more in the long run

Finding freedom on the other side of doing the real work

This is an invitation to slow down. To go deeper instead of faster. To lay the foundation for the life, the self, and the becoming you’ve always deserved.

If you want me to go deeper into topics like this, please let me know. I love hearing your thoughts and feedback.

Energy is shifting. Within us. Around us. Between us.

In this episode, I share my reflections on the waves moving through my own life, the lives of people around me, and the human collective as a whole. While our reticular activating system may help us notice patterns, there’s also something deeper — an energetic thread pulling us into greater awareness, connection, and transformation.

I talk about the magic of connection:

Strengthening bonds where you just know what someone’s thinking

Brief yet powerful moments with strangers that leave lasting imprints

The collective energy weaving people, synchronicities, and lessons together

We also explore what it means to be a human sponge — how to notice when you’re carrying energy that isn’t yours, and how presence and intention can keep you anchored in your own field. This episode is a reminder to:

Feel fully without judgment

Move with life’s natural ebbs and flows

Be intentional with where you place your energy

Do everything with intention

Stay discerning as the collective shifts

This is alchemy in real-time — the sometimes quiet transformation happening in our bodies, our relationships, and the collective field. It’s an invitation to notice the unseen, surrender, honor what’s moving through you, and allow change to unfold with the least amount of resistance.

Thank you for being here with me.

Venom doesn’t just kill — it awakens.
(Please don't go get bitten by a sake, this is a metaphor.)

In this episode, I explore the snake’s place in the alchemical process — its shedding, its growth, its cycles of death and rebirth — and how its energy moves through us when we choose to evolve. I share the story behind my own snake tattoo and what it means to allow that energy to fill every part of me, to integrate, to let it burn away the layers that no longer serve, and to rise renewed.

But growth isn’t always soft. Sometimes it demands honesty — with ourselves, our choices, and the excuses we make. I talk about the shadow side of “spiritual bypassing” and how tools like astrology, human design, and Enneagram can support us — but cannot define us. At some point, we have to stop hiding behind the maps and start walking the terrain.

This episode weaves together:

The Snake & Alchemy — why its venom, shedding, and rebirth mirror our own evolution

Gratitude as Fuel — honoring the teachers, lovers, lessons, and guides life sends us

The Fire of Transformation — why integration is more important than collecting more tools

Breaking Free from Spiritual Crutches — astrology, human design, and the power of choosing yourself

Inspired Perpetual Alchemy in Action — allowing yourself to burn, to rise, and to embody what you’ve learned

This is a transmission for anyone standing in the middle of their becoming — skin shedding, heart breaking, and fire burning — knowing deep down that something new is waiting on the other side.

In this episode, we explore:
The snake’s symbolic role in Inspired Perpetual Alchemy
Growth through shedding, integration, and rebirth
Gratitude for the people and lessons that shape us
The tension between tools and true transformation
Breaking through excuses, bypassing, and choosing embodiment

Grief isn’t just about loss — it’s about transformation. Sometimes, it’s not grieving a person… but a version of life you thought you’d have.

In this episode, I explore the softer, messier side of alchemy — where we’re asked to release our expectations, surrender what’s out of alignment, and make space for what wants to unfold instead. I share personal reflections on parenting, co-creation, and compromise, and how listening to our children can become its own form of wisdom when we let them mirror back what we’ve taught them.

We dive into:

The alchemy of grieving the life you imagined

Acceptance vs. control — finding peace in “what is”

How our children often become our greatest teachers

Taking intentional action as we age to align with health, vitality, and longevity

The patterns we carry… and the ones we choose to break

Grief has its own rhythm. Sometimes it burns. Sometimes it softens us. But always, it transforms us — if we let it.

“Softness is not weakness — it’s the courage to stay in your body when the world tells you to leave.”

There’s a side of alchemy that isn’t fire and friction — it’s breath, presence, and the quiet courage of staying open.

In this episode, I share the gratitude I feel for where I am on my journey, for being able to hold space for others even while moving through my own work, and for the gift of feeling soft in my own body and energy.

We talk about nervous system regulation — not as the absence of emotion, but as the ability to have emotions and stay steady within them. I reflect on how this work has allowed me to see my daughter’s growth, to receive support from a friend and practitioner who has shown me a new way of being, and to experience intimacy — with myself, with others — in ways that words can’t fully hold.

This is an episode about:

Gratitude as an alchemical practice

Nervous system regulation as a path to deeper embodiment

Learning vulnerability without collapsing

Seeing self-sabotage patterns and choosing differently

Rewiring the mind to allow more softness

This is the alchemy of choosing presence over protection. The alchemy of staying in your body when it would be easier to leave. The alchemy of softness. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy.

This is a passionate one....

If we want a different world, we have to start with the reflection staring back at us.

In this episode, I talk about the alchemy of parenting — the truth that if we want to see change in society, we must first change ourselves. I share a triggering moment I witnessed: a mother's horrific behavior towards her small son while her other children and husband sat in silence. It made me think about men’s mental health, and how cycles of pain are passed down when parents refuse to heal. It is something that weighs on my heart. 

We cover:

Why the cycles of abuse and intolerance continue in families

How parents demand behavior they can’t model themselves

The unhealed trauma and the mental health crisis in men 

The motherly instinct to protect

Why being the change doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but you

The choice we all have: perpetuate the cycle of pain or choose perpetual alchemy and alchemize it to become better

Change begins with us — even if it makes us look “crazy” to those still trapped in the pattern. Because if we don’t change, nothing else will.

In this continuation of "The Edge of Intimacy," I go deeper — into the fire, into the shadow, into the parts of me that once stayed silent.

My voice trembles, but I still speak my truth — because love doesn’t require perfection, only presence. This is true for love of self, love of others and connection. Perfection is a fallacy anyway. it doesn't exist. So be real. Be present. Be YOU. 

The edge of intimacy isn't a cliff — it is a doorway into myself.

This episode is about what happens after you meet yourself. When you’ve stood naked before your own truth, stared into the mirror, and begun the sacred work of being honest — now what? You open. You connect. You allow.

I share pieces of my own journey — the words I’ve written, the truths I’ve spoken, even when my voice trembled. I talk about how the darkness is not always a void or a place of despair — but a fertile ground where growth, passion, and deep feeling are born. This is the space where shadow work becomes sacred intimacy. It is where you find your sacred power you have forgotten. 

It’s about letting someone say, “I see you — let me hold you,” and not retreating into the safety of “I’m fine.”
With tears in your eyes, shaking as you hold to your truth and allow someone hold you where you are at and just sink into it, is another kind of self love and trust. 
It’s about standing in your sovereignty and still allowing others to witness and hold your humanity.

This is real intimacy.
This is love, unmasked.
This is the path into the flame.

This is cracking yourself open as the light shines from inside you into the places that once felt isolated and too dark to see in. 

You are the light in the darkness. 

I let the darkness hold me long enough to remember I was made of fire. Now I am reborn as a phoenix.

In this vulnerable and unflinching episode, I explore the jagged edges of love, intimacy, and self-acceptance. I share the raw truth of what it feels like to be terrified of being fully seen and loved — not for what I do, but for who I am at my core.

This is a conversation about crumbling walls, armor laid down, and the rubble we’re left standing in when we finally stop running from ourselves. I talk about how we push people away to stay safe, how some connections are only built on the idea of us, and what it means to return to our essence — the fire, the love, the too-muchness we’ve been taught to tame.

You’ll hear thoughts on:

The fear of being abandoned for being “too much”

Why staying in the wrong place is self-sabotage

Loving deeply, wildly, authentically — and how that scares people

Why mirrors won’t save us (and how that’s our responsibility)

How love and rage are both human, but only one leads us home

This is the alchemy of intimacy, of self-love, of becoming whole. This is the path back to yourself.

Your soul has a soundtrack. Some people just weren’t meant to dance to it.

Some people are jazz. Some are death metal. Some are heartbreak ballads wrapped in synth-pop skin. You, my friend, are your own song — and not everyone is going to like the sound of your becoming.

In this episode, I talk about the intimate connection between music, frequency, and alchemy. From my early love of Billy Joel to the silence that followed cutting ties with my mother — and the strange peace that came full circle while watching his documentary — this one is personal. Grief, healing, and resonance all play a note here.

I also reflect on recent conversations about sound and identity, and touch on the recent passing of Ozzy Osbourne — the prince of darkness, the amplifier of unapologetic weirdness — and what it means to carry a frequency that won’t be dimmed.

This one’s for:

The misfits whose sound doesn’t fit the mainstream

The sensitives who feel music like blood

The alchemists learning that their frequency is the fire

You are your own song. Let it be messy. Let it be loud. Let it be yours.

You are an alchemist.

There’s a moment on the alchemical path where you stop hiding, start shining… and suddenly, you’re the villain.

In this raw transmission, I speak into the madness that surfaces when you step fully into your authenticity, sovereignty, and alignment — and the ways others might try to project their discomfort onto your existence. Sometimes just breathing is enough to trigger someone’s shadow. Sometimes your light is treated like a crime.

I share personal stories from a recent experience that cracked open old wounds and childhood echoes — and how I chose to feel, stay aware, and alchemize instead of collapse.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever been told they were “too much,” “too loud,” “too free,” or “too alive.”

It’s heavier. It’s honest. It’s also a reminder:
The burn means you’re forging something real. Keep going. Keep Creating alchemy. 

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. 

With Love,

Lizzie

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do on the path of alchemy… is to just exist.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the weight of the last few days — the emotional currents, the intuitive nudges, the subtle unravelings. Rather than forcing clarity, I chose to follow my body’s cues and my soul’s whispers: what to wear, where to go, what to eat — and how that simple surrender moved more energy than overthinking ever could.

We explore:

The sacred permission to feel before fixing

Noticing your self-sabotage loops without shame

Intuitive embodiment as medicine

Integration as the forgotten step in transformation

Laying things down so you can pick yourself back up, whole

This isn’t an episode about doing — it’s about being. Because sometimes, the most alchemical choice is to let yourself be fully human.

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy.

This episode is messy — and that’s part of the alchemy.

In this soul-led, unfiltered transmission, I speak from the flame of experience about what it means to reclaim your energy, protect your field, and use discernment as a spiritual tool. We explore how your energy is your alchemical fire — and why it’s sacred.

I share stories from my own journey, including the quiet unraveling of being used as an energetic battery in a former community, and how discernment taught me who should have access to my energy and who no longer can. I also share a personal story about my daughter and how even the basics of intuition and energetic awareness begin early — if we let them.

This episode touches on:

How to recognize your own energetic baseline

Why discernment strengthens your intuition

How to gently call your energy back to you

The truth about energetic mimicry and siphoning

And how, as you grow, your field becomes more sacred — and more protected

Even through the static, this episode holds a current. May it meet you in your own remembering.

Thank you foe being here with me. Thank you for being patient as I take messy action. I take time seriously and I appreciate your support.

In this milestone episode, I return to a theme close to my heart: rest, burnout, and the alchemy of knowing when to pause.

I share raw reflections on how burnout sneaks up on us, why rest is not a reward but a necessary part of transformation, and how we can learn to listen to the body’s wisdom — no matter our age.

Whether you’re balancing work and creativity, or just feeling stretched thin by life, this episode is a reminder:
💫 Rest is an act of love.
💫 Rest is part of your becoming.
💫 You don’t have to burn it all down to rise.

Thank you for walking this journey with me for 30 episodes. Let’s keep evolving. Let's keep creating alchemy. 🖤

This week I’m laying it all bare — how I keep running headfirst into my old self-sabotage, right at the brink of feeling most alive and aligned.

I talk about the messy necessity of rest (yes, even when guilt claws at your throat) and why slowing down is a violent act against the parts of us that only know how to hustle and prove.

Then I take you inside a Ghost concert where nobody was allowed to record a damn thing. No screens, no distractions — just thousands of people present, pulsing, breathing in unison under the same electric spell. It was powerful, not oppressive; a collective exhale that somehow woke us all up.

We'll get into music, connection, intuitive living, forging your own messy, beautiful path, and how this is all part of the personal alchemy — the shadow, the sabotage, the pause, the scream, the surrender.

This is your invitation to be more unapologetically you, even if it pisses some people off. Especially if it does.

Thank you for being here with me and following this messy rebirth.

Episode 28: The Wild Alchemy of Being Human

What happens when we, creatures born of soil and starlight, remember our natural habitat? This episode is part story, part invocation—a reflection on a recent journey I took for my uncle’s celebration of life that unfolded into something deeper.

Hiking up Glen Falls, watching my daughter come alive among moss and stone, feeling the trees respond to my energy work, chasing fireflies by the creek, breathing in rain-kissed bergamot fields—it all became a vivid reminder that our truest alchemy happens in places untouched by concrete.

We’re energetic beings trying to adapt to lives inside boxes, forgetting the sacred exchange that happens when our bare feet meet the earth.

Tune in as I explore what it means to reconnect with the wilderness within by stepping into the wilderness without—how grief, wonder, scent, sound, and simple presence become gateways to our original design.

While we can adapt to living in what we have created and we can have fun with it, getting back to nature and hearing the heart of our natural habitat is unlike anything else. 

 Listen to your soul and maybe, just maybe, you’ll remember the forest that still lives in your bones.

Inspired Perpetual Alchemy Always.

In this episode is dedicated to my amazing daughter.

I go into what its like being a mom on this alchemical journey.

I also talk a little but about my past, and what it was like realizing I wanted a different situation and life for myself and my daughter. I also talk about what its like raising and guiding an alchemist. 

She has been my greatest teacher in this life. I am forever grateful she chose me to be her mom. 

Over and over again I would choose her and our life together. 

I am not perfect. I am human. I am working every day to be better than I was before. When I know better, I do better.

In this episode, I dive into the messy, magical unraveling of the past year—how energy work and polyvagal healing helped me recalibrate my nervous system and claim a deeper soul sovereignty.

We talk about the audacity of wearing what you want, using your voice without apology, and saying hell yes (or a sacred no) without guilt. About finding the safe spaces that let you unravel everything you were told to be, so you can rebuild who you actually are.

This is nervous system liberation. It’s choosing your own frequency. It’s soft, it’s spicy, and it’s absolutely your journey. 

We are all humans. Beautifully flawed. When we know better, we can do better. 

Thank you for being here with me. Thank you for spending your time with me.

EP 25 – The Dark Side of the Shadow: When Healing Feels Heavy

In this episode, I get honest about the part of shadow work no one talks about but also tried to glamorize—the dark side of the shadow. The part where you’re finally aligned, holding your boundaries, loving yourself deeper than ever, but old wounds flare up. Where you start to uncover all the ways you felt too much or not enough as a kid, a teen, or even last year. And even though you’re moving with integrity and wholeness, there’s a haunting pull to shrink, to dim, to keep yourself safe.

This is me, raw and in the trenches, sharing the unpolished reality of what it’s like to battle the thoughts that say: stop shining, play small, don’t scare them away. Because healing isn’t a trend. It’s a relentless choice. And sometimes it’s messy, uncomfortable, and far from easy—but it’s real.

While it is uncomfortable and messy, it is also magical and beautiful if you choose to see it. If you choose to look at yourself in each and every mirror. If you choose uncomfortable truths over comfortable lies each time. 

I know this isn't easy. Alchemy isn't easy. It is however, amazing and freeing. 

Thank you as always for your support. 

Keep creating alchemy.

EP 24 – Alchemizing Intention: Choosing Presence Over Pressure

"Everything you do, do it with purpose." The quote that inspired me yesterday. 

In this episode, I get real about what it means to alchemize emotion and stay rooted in intention—even when everything in you wants to rush, hustle, or disconnect. I talk about the moment I almost threw myself into work first thing this morning, but chose to pause, nourish, and come back to self first. This is a conversation about slowing down, honoring your body, and choosing to walk your path with presence, gratitude, and clarity—because how you move matters. The energy you carry becomes the energy you create with. Let’s talk about what it means to stay aligned on purpose.

Keep alchemizing.

I tried to record this more than once having tech issues with no audio. 

I could have told myself, maybe I am just not meant to put something out but I didn't tell that lie. I kept going. I was also scared to put out an episode today as it has been a wild ride of emotions since I returned from my trip, which I will be doing an episode on my spooky travels since you were interested in it. 

This is what life is. Keeping promises to yourself and moving forward through fear. 

I have mentioned it in past episodes that facing fear may mean caring for your nervous system first. That in itself can feel scary.  I will always advocate for you making sure that you know your limits, you know your anxiety zone and that you know when you are safe to move forward, even if you are scared. This also means resting when you are scared to. 

This episode is me rambling about courage. 

I reference Drive by Incubus. If you haven't heard the song, I highly suggest listening to it. I have a few playlists on Spotify for those interested. 

The private Facebook Group has been rebranded and we are in the process of building things new. It is now The Inspired Alchemy Collective. 

We are working hard to bring you the things you want and need and figuring out better ways to serve all of you. 

I am offering Alchemy Chats, which are 20 minutes chats if you just need to talk to someone or if you want to get to know me a little better. 

We are also opening up new coaching opportunities for those interested in going deeper. 

Thank you for being patient as I evolve. This has been the most challenging rebirth yet. 

Thank you for being here with me and for your time. Time is precious and I do not take it lightly.

This episode is different. 

I know the world feels insane right now, but even in the insanity, there is so much beauty in it. This is the take I like to have when everything feels like it is falling apart. 

My intention with this episode is to bring a little peace to those in need. 

I attempted to do something I really love to do, which is create a visualization. I get good feedback from those I have done it for in the past. I normally only do these for clients or friends. I have never attempted to do one for the collective. Tapping in was interesting and different from a single person as it is a much larger energy source I am trying to create for. 

Thank you for being patient with me as I learn new things and expand myself outward.

EP 18 – The Mirror, the Loop, and the Becoming

In this episode, I dive into the alchemical dance between Inspired Alchemy and Perpetual Alchemy—where old self-sabotaging loops are revealed in the mirrors life holds up to us. I speak vulnerably about the ways I’ve been unconsciously staying small, and how recent reflections from others have illuminated something I’ve never fully felt before: that I am enough, exactly as I am. No fixing. No proving. Just being. This is the first time I’ve truly felt seen in my becoming—not for who I’m trying to be, but for who I already am. Join me as we explore the sacred unraveling of false stories, and the remembrance that you are already whole. Come as you are. You are worthy. Always.

You are worthy and capable of living a life you are passionate about.

I go into how I am trying to connect the dots between these things, nervous system regulation and connection to others. I talk about how these things have helped me. 

Whenever diving into work like this, or breathwork, float, cold plunge and other things, I also want to make sure that others feel safe. Please make sure you feel as safe as you can with those you are with and working with. Trust yourself and your body.

Episode Title: The Alchemy of Rest

In a world obsessed with doing, rest can feel like rebellion—but what if it’s also a sacred art of transformation?

In this episode, The Alchemy of Rest, we explore rest as an act of healing, of reclamation, and of soul-deep restoration. Through the lens of inner alchemy, we unravel the many forms of rest—physical, mental, emotional, creative, and spiritual—and how each one serves as a vessel for transmutation.

Rest is not a pause from the work—it is the work. It is the quiet crucible where the fragments of our being soften, integrate, and re-emerge as something whole. Together, we’ll reflect on how rest allows us to release the burnout forged in the fires of constant striving, and how, in stillness, we recover the gold of our essence.

This episode is an invitation to reframe rest not as a luxury, but as an alchemical necessity—for our bodies, our creativity, and our becoming.

Until next time. Thank you for the support. Keep creating alchemy (and rest).

This episode was a little more challenging for me to record. 

As I dive deeper into myself and into my own shadow, wounds open and certain things resurface that try to convince me this isn't safe and to keep myself small because that is safe. Don't you your voice Liz because that has been dangerous in the past. Don't show that passionate side because it scares people. This is too much. In actuality I am being pushed to dance in those shadows. I am being pushed to dance where others run. I do this to gain the tools I need to help me move forward and to maybe help someone else who is where I have been or who may be in a similar place to where I am now. This journey is scary and messy but we are stronger than we think we are. 

In this episode I discuss some stuff that may get some hate and that may be controversial but its my goal to help others and to hopefully do so in the safest ways possible. If that means sharing an opinion that causes others to maybe rethink this whole new age spiritual quick fix mentality then so be it. 

This is not about quick fixes or bypassing. We are here to remember the primal and whole of who we are. We may not be in the perpetual state of healing but we are in the perpetual state of alchemy, if we allow ourselves to see and be seen. Hear and be heard. 

As always, thank you for the support and keep creating alchemy.

Episode 9: The Alchemy of Vulnerability and Intimacy

In this intimate episode (where I am super nervous), we explore the sacred intersection where vulnerability becomes a catalyst for transformation, and intimacy becomes a mirror for the soul. I explain a little bit of my story and where I started on this journey. I journey into the heart of what it means to be seen—truly seen—without the masks, without the armor. You will be ale to tell that this was a hard one for me to record. It was very raw as I am still working through these things myself. 

What if your tenderness is not a weakness but a portal to deeper connection? What if allowing yourself to be undone is the very thing that makes you whole? Together, we can peel back the layers, feel into the discomfort, and honor the raw beauty that emerges when we dare to show up as we are.

This is an invitation to remember that there is power in softness, strength in surrender, and alchemy in every honest breath we share.

Episode 8 The Alchemy of Fear

What if fear isn’t something to banish—but a portal to transformation?

In this episode I dive into the sacred alchemy of fear. Rather than resisting or suppressing it, what happens when we choose to sit with fear, to listen, and to transmute it?

I tell a couple of stories from my life recently where I have had to discern between fear and intuition, which can be tricky. I also discuss how sometimes alignment may look like taking a path that is totally outside of societal norms and it seems scary.

Maybe fear is a sacred teacher in disguise. Rather than avoiding or overriding it, what if we allowed fear to speak, to burn, and to become part of our transformation? What if we could safely alchemize fear and sometimes this looks like asking for help?

Let's explore fear not as an enemy, but as a raw, primal force that—when honored—can guide us back to our truth. In my opinion fear often masks desire, potential, and repressed power and discernment is necessary. Sometimes this can be challenging, but it does get "easier". 

As always, thank you for the support.

In episode 6 I discuss the process of shedding what no longer serves you and my new snake tattoo. In this description I want to leave a little something about the snake and key I have tattooed. 

“The Path of Unlocking and Becoming”

"I stand at the threshold of shadow and flame,
A vessel of mystery, a seeker of name.
Upon my left, the Key does rest—
Guardian of secrets in my chest.

With open palm, I face the night,
To delve within and birth new sight.
Key of the Left, unlock my gate,
To wounds and truths I once did hate.

I honor the dark, I do not flee,
For in my shadow, I find the me
That waits to rise, to be embraced—
Not judged, not shamed, not yet erased.

Upon my right, the Serpent lies,
With burning eyes and ancient ties.
Coiled with wisdom, poised to strike,
It carries death and gives new life.

O Snake of Flame, now move through me,
Transmute this pain to prophecy.
Strike from the root, what once controlled,
And from the ashes, make me whole.

Left I unlock. Right, I become.
Between the two, the work is done.
Solve et Coagula—dissolve, renew—
I walk the path of sacred truth.

This is my rite. This is my seal.
To shadow I bow. To self I heal.
With Key and Serpent, marked in skin—
Let the alchemy begin."

This is a poem was written with Inspired Perpetual Alchemy in mind. 

May it serve as a catalyst for your growth. 

Keep collecting those keys. Keep shedding. Keep creating Alchemy. I believe in you.

Episode 5: Messy Alignment

In this episode I attempt to answer the question:

"How do you what the next right thing is, even if it doesn't feel easy? How do you discern what is right, even if it feels heavy and messy?"

I had dental work today, so please forgive my rambling. lol

I want to open up this conversation even deeper because what I was originally taught in my energy work only carried me so far. I thought it was supposed to look or feel a certain way, until I realized, things go deeper. 

I am learning to navigate this messiness and as I find new things that will add value to this topic, I will express them. 

Stay curious. Keep creating Inspired Perpetual Alchemy Always. 

Until next time.

Episode 4: The Frequency of Love

I did something different for this episode. 

I am doing some deep healing right and as I read my old poetry and writings from when I was a teenager I am shocked by their content and context. How the hell did I even feel as deeply as I did? I can't believe I have always been so deeply passionate, and I wonder where it went. I have also had some conversations with others that have felt similar to me and who are extremely passionate and raw. 

During this episode I read an excerpt by Courtney A. Walsh. I got a little tongue tied but it was the passion lol. Then I go into small detail about myself and thoughts. I feel I will be discussing this more. 

Don't forget to check out the Inspired Alchemy site for merch to match your version of alchemist. I am working on new creations right now as well. Stay tuned for my first book!

Episode 2 of Inspired Alchemy Raw & Unfiltered with Lizzie 

In this episode I respond to a friend's question regarding how I stay authentic and how have I been able to do this, even when I didn't know who I was. 

As always it is a raw answer, so it's not scripted and it's just what came to me as I am processing what I have going on in my life. I kinda have always just done things and had to figure them out. When I am asked these questions, I am learning to reverse engineer my process, so please be patient as I figure these things out. 

Its pieced together just like the growth journey. Its raw and no editing has been done to the audio, so it is far from the other polished things out there.

Again, all of this is messy just like me and I am learning to be okay with this. 

Thank you to everyone who has pushed and supported me as I grow. Thank you for pushing me outside of my comfort zone and challenging me. 

I hope that by sharing my story and thoughts, it will help others. 

Keep creating alchemy. It won't always make sense but trust in those soul nudges and you will start to see the beauty in the journey.

In this episode I respond to a friend's question regarding growth being painful and why it is painful and beautiful at the same time. 

It is a raw answer, so it's not scripted and it's just what came to me as I am processing what I have going on in my life. 

Its pieced together just like the growth journey. Its raw and no editing has been done to the audio, so it is far from the other polished things out there. This is my first time at trying to do something like this so its messy just like me and we all start somewhere. 

Thank you to everyone who has pushed and supported me as I grow. Thank you for pushing me outside of my comfort zone and challenging me.
