Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto

How does being an equity-centered leader sound to you? In this age there is a lot of talk (an therefore a lot of confusion!) about the relationship between DEI - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Anti-racism, Social Justice, Collective Liberation, how all of these things work together, and how to integrate them into your leadership. That's why it's important to have an experienced pro explain the...

What if I told you there was a simple formula to cultivating love in your life? I can guess your reaction! But while the formula we're talking about today is simple to remember, it does require work to put into practice. In today's episode, we're talking with Dr. Ezzie Spencer, creator of the re.love method. Ezzie helps women walk through a proven process of healing as they face their blocks to lo...

Birthdays can be emotionally tumultuous, but when approached with intentionality, they can be opportunities for growth. As my birthday approaches, I like to spend the month or so leading up to that date doing a life inventory - I call this the birthday portal. I turn inward and review what habits or patterns I need to get go of or call in. What I need to forgive others or myself. What wild dreams...

Have you ever wondered if your dreams were trying to tell you something? Many of us have a complicated relationship with our dreams. We may view them as nonsensical, unimportant, or even scary. We may also wonder if our subconscious mind is trying to send us a message.  Do our dreams warn us of the future or simply rehash the various emotions of our day? Or are they just random firings of an overa...

Imagine a generation of young women who feel at home in their bodies and confident in who they are as women. How would the world and our society change if teen and preteen girls were empowered to see their bodies as magical? If they instinctively built up other women? If they trusted their intuition and ability to make an impact on their world? In today's episode, I'm chatting with Eliza Reynolds,...

In today's world of pop psychology, it's easy to analyze ourselves out of our intuition. We tend to live solely in our minds and ignore or even reject the physical and spiritual parts of ourselves. To achieve true liberation and healing, we must learn to embrace our whole beings. In today's episode, I'm talking with renowned psychic Aycee Brown about her work with spiritual empowerment. Aycee uses...

When life is in limbo, patience and humility can help us land back on solid ground.

This episode is a mix of two things today. First some reflection now that I'm in Miami of my time in California, some things I've been realizing ever since I decided to move -so don't worry, I'm not fresh processing in real-time on the show here, you all know that's not my style. Then the second thing, as it came up in my reflections - is about who we invest our resources with, especially around p...

Has your relationship with your body kept you from embracing all that you are capable of? As women, we receive the message that our bodies are shameful and even dangerous at a young age. We are taught not to trust our bodies and to tame them to others' expectations. In today's episode, I share with you the name I've created for this experience:  The Sacred Body Wound Almost every woman carries the...

Everything you've ever needed has always been inside of you, but that doesn't mean it's easy to find. Much of my work can be deep and confronting. The path toward embodied healing and self-liberation requires work! But having fun has a place in healing as well.  After working with thousands of women over the past several years, I've developed a way of looking at our wild nature that is both fun an...

Does the idea of embodiment seem elusive? The last two episodes explored the self-liberation and embodied healing frameworks.  But are you stuck wondering what embodied healing actually looks like? I'm answering that question in today's episode. This week, I'm sharing the ways I've seen embodied healing manifest within the Embodied Living Center community. Time and again, I've seen embodied healin...

The embodied healing journey doesn't have to be exhausting or intimidating when we remember to move in cycles, not a straightforward path. In this week's episode, I'll be giving an overview of my embodied healing framework. I prefer frameworks to formulas because everyone's healing journeys are unique and must allow for flexibility. I call this framework The Four I's of Embodied Healing : Intentio...

Embodied healing and self-liberation are not just token phrases for feel-good ideology - they are the pathways that can help us create a better world. In today's episode, I break down my interpretation of self-liberation and embodied healing. Next week I'll get more into how they work together. I didn't coin these terms. No one has. And plenty of people use them to mean different things. I want to...

What does it mean to reclaim true love and light? Do you cringe a little when you hear that phrase - love and light? Are you wondering how it pertains to embodied healing? In today's episode, we're talking about this highly charged term and uncovering its true meaning.  Love and light are powerful energies that help us to heal and to heal our world. But there's no avoiding the way phrases like "lo...

When we let fear hold us back from setting boundaries, we miss out on healthy relationships and real love.  What keeps you from setting clear boundaries with the people in your life? Are you afraid of judgment? Being thought of as high-maintenance, mean, or controlling? Or maybe you don't know HOW to set boundaries in a way that works? In today's episode, we're talking with Terri Cole, licensed ps...

I believe anger is one of the holiest, most transformational emotions people don't want to face. It's full of useful information. It's fertilizer for healing and it can make us sick when we don't face it.  Dealing with anger in healthy ways is about using it to catalyze change, healing, and/or transformation. In this episode, I dig into how and why anger is holy and sacred. I spend some time desti...

This is it, ya'll! It's the wrap up episode for the EMBODIED Self Love series. There were some listener questions about boundaries that I didn't get to last week, I'm answering those in this episode. And aside from that, I want to spend this last episode on self love anchoring in what we've discussed so far and tying it all together. And I want to leave you with some reminders and a prayer.  There...

This is episode 7 in an 8 episode series on Self Love.  This episode is all about boundaries and what it has to do with self love. Specifically, how boundaries are an expression of all the components of my EMBODIED Self Love Framework: Self Awareness   Self Knowledge   Self Acceptance   Self Trust   Self Respect  Boundaries are a responsible way of engaging with what you can control in a healthy,...

We are getting into the last part of the EMBODIED Self Love Framework in this episode - Self Respect. Self respect is where the other four parts of the EMBODIED Self Love Framework get integrated. When you are more self aware you discover what you need to know, when you know yourself better,  you can accept yourself more, when you are coming from self awareness, knowledge and acceptance, it's easi...

I have been teaching about self trust for over seven years now and for this episode, the self trust teaching wanted to come through a bit differently. No doubt, the reason is that trust is harder when tragedy and trauma are rampant because we get pulled into the WHY question? It doesn't make sense. And it's not supposed to.  And during these current times we're living through there's a lot of that...

How do you accept yourself? Why is self acceptance important? What does it feel like to have self acceptance? These are some of the questions we're answering in today's EMBODIED Self Love series episode.  We've already covered the first two principles of the EMBODIED Self Love Framework - Self Awareness and Self Knowledge - and now it's time for Self Awareness.  In today's episode I cover: Why we...

How well do you really know yourself? And why does self knowledge matter so much? In order to do any of the work of EMBODIED self love, you really do need to know yourself. You need to know things [for starters] like: What's ok with you and what's not ok with you?  What excites you what doesn't?  Life is cyclical. There are phases and changes, which means you should feel free to be someone differe...

What does self awareness mean? How do you improve self awareness? Is self awareness a skill? Is self awareness hyphenated? These are the types of things people search for when it comes to the meaning of self awareness (that last one was included to be funny, but it's actually the number one search result - go figure!) This is episode 2 in the EMBODIED Self Love podcast series and today we're getti...
