Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto

Loving yourself is an all the time thing and in today's episode I'm specifically reflecting on how to love yourself in 2022 after all we've been through.  Self-love can feel out of reach, especially in a world that actively feels like it's falling apart. With a pandemic, wars,  hate crimes and what feels like growing violence in our communities, pursuing self-love may seem frivolous or overwhelmin...

Do you feel consumed by worry, fear, self-doubt or comparison?  Or maybe you find that you're coverconsuing (food, media, the opinions of others) and that overconsumption is robbing you of joy, peace and compassion.  If you're living your life comparing yourself to others or trying to force yourself to behave and think the way dominant culture suggests you "should", you might be setting yourself u...

Have you bought into the lie that thinner is better?  I just had my first photoshoot since 2020. It was my first photoshoot since the pandemic and my first photoshoot at my heaviest weight. I was curious how I would feel during the photoshoot and I was also a little worried about how I might feel once I got the photos back (would I like the photos or would I feel uncomfortable with the parts of me...

Have you ever had an experience you couldn't quite explain? Maybe you were lying down in bed and you could feel the presence of someone else even though you were technically alone. Or maybe a loved one passed but every now and then, seemingly out of nowhere, you can smell their particular brand of cigar in your car.   It might sound crazy but these are all examples of experiences I've had and ther...

Do you love roses? Feel deeply connected to the Divine in nature? Or find symbolism in little things all the time? Everything around you–from the birds you pass on your morning walk to the numbers on the clock when you wake up in the middle of the night–are symbols, tools for finding meaning in Life. You just have to learn how to look for them. In today's episode, I'm chatting with author and myst...

What if instead of giving in to fear, resentment and regret, you cultivated faith? Questions have been coming up recently related to these topics in my community and it got me thinking about how they all relate. In today's episode, we're talking about fear, faith, resentment, and regret. I'm covering where the fear stems from and how to consciously choose faith even when fear starts to creep in. ...

Are you aware of how birthing can change you? We're not just talking about the birth of children but also the birth of projects, dreams and ideas.  In today's episode, I'm speaking with Christine Gutiérrez, a therapist, author of I Am Diosa, spiritual mentor, and mother. As someone who has experienced firsthand an orgasmic birth, Christine uncovers the birthing process and how becoming a mother ha...

Are you ready to dance with life's mysteries? For years, I've tried to make my work more palatable to the general public: less intimidating, less mysterious. But recently, I've come to realize that there's no watering down the medicine I'm here to steward. While things like accessing inner wisdom, self love and liberation sound empowering, exciting, and inviting, actually doing them can be really...

Do you know the true source of your healing? It's not a pill or a vial. It's not even your coach or your mentor. No, your greatest source of healing comes from within, from your own medicine. In today's episode, I'm chatting with indigenous medicine woman Asha Frost about her book You Are The Medicine. As a medicine woman, Asha guides others through their healing journeys, helping them decolonize...

Is accountability enough?   We see it often: Some big-name celebrity, author, or self help star jumps on the bandwagon of a newly relevant social cause, and suddenly they're being treated as a savior of the people. But when you really pay attention, their motivations become clear, and their actions are often performative at best, harmful at worst.   In today's episode, I'm chatting with anti-racis...

Is prayer part of your daily practice? So many of us grew up with a dogmatic, rigid idea of prayer. We sat through church services, repeating words we didn't truly understand the meanings of. But over the past ten years, I've discovered that prayer is fluid and entirely unique to each and every person who practices it. Others of us grew up with no relationship to prayer at all. And I'm sure some p...

Are you living according to your truth? Many of us live in our heads, making decisions according to our cultural conditioning and what we feel we "should" do. But when you learn to tap into your body, you can live, work, and exist in alignment with your inner truth. In today's episode, I'm chatting with Feminine Embodiment Coach Jenna Ward about her experience with feminine embodiment and magnetis...

Does pleasure play a role in your divine experience? It's not often we hear mainstream conversations about the intersection of spirituality and sensuality. But for me, pleasure, sensuality, and God are inextricably connected. In today's episode, I'm chatting with author and founder of Booty Parlor, Dana Myers all about how pleasure and sensuality play into spiritual practice. Even as a young girl,...

Do you know how to love yourself and others well?   Not the kind of love where you try to fix, change or save people. Not the kind of love where you chase someone who doesn't love you back. But the kind of love in which you want for others the same thing you want for yourself: whatever God has in store.   In today's episode, I'm sharing a personal journey with self-love and romantic love, and I'm...

Often what appears in our lives as a crisis is also an invitation to connect more deeply with the Divine and with our own souls. We all experience different levels of crises in our lives. And while I've been blessed with pretty good health for most of my life, I experienced something at the start of 2022 that catalyzed a deeper relationship with my body and shifted my regard for physical health an...

Do you practice holy consistency? When most of us think about consistency, we think about showing up every day, even when we don't want to. We think about a chore, a job, or an obligation we have to keep.  But when I think of consistency, I think of ritual: something that truly enriches and enlivens my life. In today's episode, I'm sharing my plans for the new year and how I'm embodying holy consi...

Is your identity of your own creation? Too often, we accept the labels others give us without a second thought. But when you sit with these labels–about your beliefs, your background, your identity–you may find that they don't align with you. You have the power to claim or reject these labels and craft an identity for yourself. In today's episode, I'm chatting with Ayesha Ophelia about her journey...

What is sacred to you? On our journeys to adulthood, many of us lose sight of what we most value. We devote our energy to fitting into society's standards of what we should want. But when we do that, we live out of alignment–with our desires, with our goals, and with our highest selves. In today's episode, I'm chatting with Tara-Nicholle Kirke about defining and protecting what is most sacred to y...

Are you living in alignment with the way you were designed? Too often, we try to fit ourselves into molds that just don't suit us, to change who we are to conform to a set of societal ideals. But we're all designed to be different, and just because you don't operate a certain way doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. In today's episode, I'm chatting with Erin Claire Jones about the ways Hu...

Is the work you're doing now going to have a generational impact? Whether we realize it or not, our lives have been shaped by the generations that came before us. And as a woman of multiple heritages, I am intimately aware of the ways I will impact those who come after me.  In today's episode, I'm meeting with Asha Ramakrishna, Spiritual Mentor and author of The Priestess Code. Asha lives her life...

Did you know you have access to an infinite library of spiritual wisdom. It's true. This 'library' is the Akashic Records, a divine database of everything happening across our Universe and every dimension it contains. And with some practice, we can all tap into that infinite wisdom. In today's episode, I'm meeting with my original reader and trainer Helen Vonderheide to explore what the Akashic Re...

Are you constantly stressed about money? It's not you. Capitalism strives to keep us worried about money, to keep us spending too much and working harder to make up for it. It's a vicious cycle, but you can break out of it. You just have to do the inner work. In today's episode, I'm sharing my four-step framework for rewiring your money mindset and living in alignment–with your needs, your desires...

Do you feel connected to the erotic? The word "erotic" has been co-opted by media, but the original meaning is less about sex and more about truly connecting with your body. When we experience the erotic, we transcend above thought, above ego to something much more divine. In today's episode, we're talking with Rie Katagiri, the conscious movement educator and embodiment coach behind Erotic Moveme...

What does it really mean to have an inclusive business? These days, it seems like the words diversity, inclusivity, and equity run together.

Ericka has devo...

Andrea shares the questions she invites her readers to ask in her new bo...
