Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto

In the Wild Soul Sacred Body Membership, I host monthly community Q&A calls to go deeper on themes of self love, healing, wholeness, and liberation. To give you an idea of what it's like to be on those calls, I asked for questions on Instagram and pulled out the top three submissions:  How can I navigate injury, illness, chronic pain, or the changes in my body as I age? How can I heal from my anxi...

I've been engaging in conversations around liberation in business for the REAL Uplevel Interview Series , and it's been illuminating the consistent incongruences in the coaching, wellness, and healing industries.  There are very real consequences when people with any kind of authority in these spaces view vast and global topics through their own micro-experiences. In this episode, I break down wha...

Since recording episode 399 where I introduced my 'Sacred Slut Summer' experiment, I've discovered that I'm loving the intimacy, connection, and companionship that's available in the solo polyamorous lifestyle.    From my early 20s to early 30s, I was essentially a serial monogamist. After taking about a year and a half to deeply reconnect with myself and heal after my last long-term partnership,...

Continuing with the theme of liberatory practices, one of the most potent places to free yourself is within your relationships. When it comes to the people in your personal, familial, romantic, and professional circles, it's important to check in with how they're either nourishing or depleting you.  In this episode, I'm sharing how I've determined which relationships are worth it for me and which...

As someone who used to bottle up all of their fiery feelings and struggle with emotional intelligence, I've experienced first-hand how verbally processing things is an extremely liberatory practice. It helps to create better, more satisfying experiences and prevents us from having to deal with things that are actually avoidable.    In this episode, I share a few stories to illuminate how, why, and...

One of the most liberating elements of my life has been working through the fears that have been conditioned into me about needing to look a certain way in order to be desired, loved, and worthy. Gaining weight and embracing the tremendous amount of wisdom in my body has transformed every aspect of my life.    In this episode, I invite you to approach your body like it's the complex and miraculous...

To welcome in the new year, I'm covering some liberatory practices that you can incorporate into your routine life for a more expansive year. There are three words and a phrase that I'm using to guide my intentions and decisions in 2023 - unapologetic, unbothered, soft, and #ScrubFree . In this episode, I unpack what all of that means to me and how I plan on channeling that energy in all areas of...

To close out this season of the Embodied Podcast, I'm coming to you solo and exploring the power of feeling and dealing with your emotions. I like to think of it as going out on an emotional LIM: literacy, intelligence, and maturity. It's so important to go back to the fundamentals and dig into what processing your feelings actually means.  If you're engaged with life in a growth-oriented way, thi...

This week, I invited Charlotte Ruth Wilson, a multi-passionate creative and embodiment coach, for a deep and thought-provoking conversation on the distinction between the business of coaching vs. the skills of coaching, the polarity dynamics of feminine and masculine energies, and the role vulnerability & creativity play in our relationships and businesses.  We dive into abusive relationships, whe...

Today we're diving into sacredness, relational healing, how both can really influence collective and systemic shifts in the world.  Are your relationships deeply nourishing?

When it comes to the philosophy of non-monogamy, there can be a lot of questions: Is it polyamory or an open relationship? Do we have to tell each other about other partners? Is it a relationship or just sex? Today's episode is all about intimacy and non-monogamy and how people connect and relate to each other in that world, with lots of nuggets that apply to ALL relationships, whether monogamous...

Hustle culture has too many people completely burnt out these days. Thinking that you have to constantly be "on" is doing a disservice to your mental, emotional, and physical health—and to your business.  There's a difference between being "on" all the time and being ready. There's a difference between hustling and being intentional. When you are ready, when you stay ready, you can own your skills...

This week we're celebrating Episode 400 of the Embodied Podcast! I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your time, your love and your community over these last 400 episodes. It's been a labor of love, joy, and what I call holy consistency over the years. On my 39th birthday, inside the Wild Soul Sacred body Community, many of our members shared what the community and the podcast have taught th...

After spending most of my life exploring my sexuality through the lens of monogamy, I discovered a surprising truth about myself: I don't actually want one romantic partner. This revelation led me to a new way of looking at my relationships and opened the door for me to finally explore non-monogamy. I spent the last several months, which I dubbed my Sacred Slut Summer, intentionally exploring non-...

It's a season of beginnings: a new season of the podcast, a new year of living (I'll be 39 in a few days), a new way of looking at the intimate relationships in my life, and more.  As I move into this new season, I want to take a moment to reflect back on my 39 years of life and some of the most important lessons I've learned along the way.  In this episode, I'm letting myself flow and bringing yo...
