Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto

When I sat down to record this it was the Sunday night the week before it goes live. I realized as I began that it was the final episode under the original name of the podcast - Untame the Wild Soul. So I thought it would be apropos to dedicate the episode to one way of knowing when it's time to move on from something. Even when the something is really good, excellent even. And in fact how sometim...

Today's episode goes really deep and gets really esoteric in some parts, (which I love, but I know is not for everyone!). As always, I'm never looking to convince or convert anyone to any belief system, so listen to this one with an open mind and enjoy what resonates for you or piques your curiosity. Our guest, Jill Prescott and I got into the correlation between keeping secrets and oppression, ho...

Our topic today has to do with that last sentence of the intro to these Sunday sermons, about remembering that you are made from love, you are love, and you are loved. I get a lot of notes from people telling me how much they love hearing that every week, that they need the reminder, that the truth of this feels so nourishing, that even when the head wants to object, the heart knows it's the truth...

Today's guest, Mary Shores is a fan of the show so it was super fun to dive in with her around her favorite episode (Michaela Boehm way back in the first 25 episodes!) before getting into what she does. We explored how important it is to always know your outcomes, why positivity is not "everything," steps to breaking through during breakdowns, and eliminating procrastination. We also talked about...

Over Christmas time I was home with my family on the east coast and we got really excited to go see the new Mary Poppins movie coming out on Christmas Day. When I was little Mary Poppins was my absolute favorite movie. For four days we were looking forward to it. When we went to look up movie times on December 26, we realized that it wasn't coming out until Christmas Day 2018!! With Mary Poppins o...

I'm so excited to kick off 2018 with a dynamic and fascinating conversation. Today's guest, Kaila Prins is a multi-passionate, creative entrepreneur whose list of skills range from burlesque performance and podcasting to copywriting and needle felting. We talked a lot about performance and all the things it helped her to reclaim and discovery after recovering from an eating disorder. We got into n...

I'm recording this Sermon with two hopes: 1) To bring life to single women everywhere who can relate to what I'm about to share and maybe even need to hear some or all of it. 2) As a tool for connection and understanding that single women can share with each other and loved ones to say something like, "Hey, this describes how I feel in so many ways, I'd love for you to listen to it and if you want...

I'm calling this Sermon "Real, Kind Progress" because I want to take two mindsets that are pervasive and detrimental in our culture and offer you an alternative. Those two mindsets are the all or nothing mentality and perfectionism. In her book Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, Anne Lamott speaks about perfectionism: "Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the...

Today's interview is a long time coming, our guest is Tara Mohr and she is all about Playing Big, which of course, we love! During our chat we got into being of service, the ego vs the soul, how we play small and how we can play big instead, and we spent some extra time on playing big in motherhood specifically. We talked about the difference between fear an intuition, a question I get a lot, and...

Since 2010 the month of December has been a month of big decisions and massive change and transition for me. I don't know if it has to do with where Gemini and Sagittarius fall in my astrological chart, the momentum of an impending New Year or what. Now that I practice more surrender and trust in life, am way more accepting of what is, have very little need to control or manipulate anything, and h...

Andrea Owen returned to the show today and she has a new book out called How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t: 14 Habits that Are Holding You Back from Happiness. What I love about Andrea is that she is so good at focusing on the basics that people really need to master before they move onto more "advanced teachings" – because guess what? The advanced stuff doesn't matter if you don't have the basics dow...

This Sunday's Sermon is a case for starting before you're ready. In the episode I speak most specifically about creative projects, using my first book as an example. Truly, this can apply to anything though. Something I say a lot is that we're never ready - which also means that we're always ready. Readiness is something I believe people put a little too much weight on. If there is a spark, a desi...

Today's sermon is inspired by Brene Brown's most recent book, Braving the Wilderness. There's a whole chapter called Speak Truth to Bullshit. Be Civil. Last week we got into the speak truth to bullshit part, if you haven't listened to that episode, I do recommend pausing this one and listening to that first. It's episode #212 and you can find it at untameyourself.com/episode-212 or whatever player...

I love this interview so much. It was part catch up, part exploration, part jam session with an old friend, Jade Teta. The common threads throughout each topic we covered were making sense and meaning out of ourselves, life, and the world. Jade shared why he hates the term "vulnerability" for men, and what he finds helpful instead. We talked about openness, flexibility, and perspectives on spiritu...

Today's sermon is inspired by Brené Brown's most recent book, Braving the Wilderness. There's a whole chapter called Speak Truth to Bullshit. Be Civil. In this episode I'm going to focus mostly on the speak truth to bullshit part, next Sunday we'll get into the be civil piece. They are both super important and intricately connected. In a time when authenticity is a super hot topic, I want to call...

Today's interview is probably one of the most gentle conversations I've ever had about some seriously charged topics - race, social justice, boundaries, capacity, positions of power, and more. The nature of the conversation totally speaks to how our guest, Andréa Ranae Johnson shows up in the world - with tons of compassion, curiosity, and commitment to contributing to solutions and better systems...

A study back in 2011 revealed that we are bombarded with the equivalent of 174 newspapers a day. That's 5x as much information since 1986. And that was 6 years ago. Our responsibilities and stressors are off the charts. A lot of what doesn't work in our cultural, social, environmental and political systems is breaking down before our very eyes, without viable new solutions in sight, let alone in p...

Today's guest was my roommate at an event earlier this year and I instantly fell in love with her. She's the type of person you feel instantly comfortable and welcomed with. Jill Wesley is a professional speaker coach, an expert on messaging, and truly a brilliant and incredible woman. In this interview we talked about messaging and communication in the context of corporate environments, the TEDx...

In today's sermon, I'm sharing an experience I had recently that has two parts and a story from a book I'm reading. The two parts of my personal story have to do with facing my own shadow, and finding deeper forgiveness for a situation I thought I had forgiven thoroughly because I had be working on forgiving the situation for more than an entire year already, yet I discovered, there was still more...

Ever have a visceral response to seeing someone do what they do best? That's how my first encounter with today's guest, Elana Meta went. Watching her dance at an event literally made me cry. We talked a lot about dancing in this interview - both in her career (she's toured the world with various artists), and in her life, dancing between the masculine and the feminine. We also talked about mastery...

Surrender is something I've been exploring, practicing, and teaching for years. Back in 2013 when I was at a crossroads in my life where not even the next step was clear, the only thing that kept me moving forwards was surrender. And just a few weeks after I really committed to letting life live through me, rather than trying to hustle so hard to make things happen, things started falling into pla...

There are a few things I reference on the show a lot that I've been wanting to get guests on to take us a bit deeper with for those who are interested and Astrology is one of those topics. Today's guest, Jenn Racciopi is one of my favorite astrologers to follow for daily doses of what's going on in the cosmos, how it may be affecting us personally, and how we can work with these energies. We took...

In light of some recent events in the online coaching, spirituality, and self-help worlds, as well as some deep and important conversations I've been observing and participating in both online and offline, I am dedicating today's Sermon to being crystal clear about the values I hold, and therefore that are also held by my team and my company across the board. This is not about proving anything, it...

For many years I denied anger I'd been holding on to practically my whole life, which allowed it to silently and not so silently impede my progress in a few different life areas. It caused me and others a lot of pain and suffering. Once I learned how to connect with my anger I realized it's a holy emotion - so today I'm reflecting on how that can be. I'm sharing a personal story, a related blog po...

You know I love every interview, but sometimes, a favorite emerges and this week was an ALL TIME FAVORITE. Sonya Renee Taylor, founder of The Body Is Not An Apology is about radical self-love for everybody and every body. This woman honors all of the humans at all of the intersections better than anyone I've ever seen. She is wildly inspiring, compassionate, intelligent, focused, diligent, and str...
