Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto

Today's guest, Amy Ahlers is a two-time author and a total spitfire. Our conversation was super charged and we explored a lot of things that are up in our culture, our lives and the climate of the coaching industry right now. Her truth was around celebrating the truths and paradoxes of life and embracing both the magical and the messy. That might sound a bit "airy fairy" but it wasn't even close t...

This was one of those interviews that I didn't want to end. I enjoyed today's guest Luna Love so much. Her big truth was around the body and mind being colonized. We explored: -The European standard of beauty. -Righteousness, entitlement and hierarchy. -The internal conflict that comes with being mixed race. -Decentering the prioritization of ourselves and our work, businesses, missions, etc. -And...

I love today's guest, Nada Lena. She's a powerful and dynamic woman whose experiences brought a ton of value and insights to the conversation. Her Big Truth was around accepting and embracing all the feelings, positive or negative. We talked about: -Victimhood vs victim mindset - something that people get really twisted around in an unhealthy way on their growth journeys. -How our past always prep...

Today's guest, Geneen Roth, is the author of TEN books, so she's prolific. Aside from what she's created, she's a really brilliant thinker, teacher, and I would even call her - healer. Her big truth was this, "Most of our mental anguish is caused by the stories we tell ourselves about a situation, not by the situation itself." We explored that along with: -How to navigate our mental stories and la...

Today's guest Shanti Das is a music industry vet and the founder of the Hip Hop Professional Foundation. The mission there is to empower and enrich the lives of those in underserved communities around mental health, youth empowerment and poverty. Shanti's big truth was around owning her truth. We talked about: -Knowing when to walk away and when you don't actually "have to" deal with things. -Her...

Today's episode is both exciting and esoteric. Chetan Parkyn is with us. He's the author of Human Design: Discover The Person You Were Born To Be. Human Design is a system that helps you engage with your life in present tense. It helps you understand how you're best built to make decisions, how you should use your energy, and ultimately, how to get the most out of life. Chetan is a world renowned...

I'm pretty sure this was my favorite conversation on the show in the last three years. Not just because it primarily focuses on sex, but because our guest Marcia Baczynski is really brilliant at what she does, and we addressed things that most people simply don't talk about or receive education on. Marcia's big truth was that she can change her mind. From there we explored: -What Cuddle Parties ar...

I was really excited when today's guest, Kavitha Chinnaiyan reached out about sharing her new book with me, Shakti Rising. As many of you know I love studying archetypes and have a deep appreciation for stories and mythology about goddesses. As well, her big truth kicked off our chat with a bit of mystery, which I also always love. Her truth was: There is much more to life than what we see. From t...

Today's guest Nagham Wehbe is a research analyst, an artist and a human rights advocate. The truth that's having the biggest impact on her life right now? Being present. In the interview we talked about the play she wrote and produced --Confessions of an Arab Woman which was adapted from Joumana Haddad's book, I Killed Scheherazade: Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman. It was the first play she eve...

Kathleen Shannon's big truth in today's episode is, "We're all connected," and we explored it through a number of delicious threads: -Meditation -Motherhood -Branding and being who you are -Creative processes She also let me grill her about the time when she created a website and did branding for Brené Brown...this is a fun one, enjoy! About Kathleen Shannon: Kathleen Shannon is a creative directo...

Life has been dishing up lots of clear signs to me lately that there are places where I need to take a step back and highly reevaluate things before moving forward. It's an invitation into higher refinement of what we do around here and I'm happy to oblige. That said this will be the last Sunday Sermon for a while. Have a listen for a bit more detail into what's been going on, why I'm listening, a...

When you hear the truth today's guest dropped, I think many of you will get goosebumps just like I did, "I am no longer willing to be coerced." I have known Karen Christensen for many years now, and every time we connect, I feel like I've been missing out during all the time that's passed since the last time. This woman is so wise, creative, thoughtful, perceptive and caring. We expanded on her tr...

This was a super fun episode for me - you'll have to let me know how you like it - nothing planned or scripted. Just riffed on evolving into running two separate companies now, using my voice, dating as a social experiment, practicing deep compassion and acceptance for all kinds of humans, exploring different types of diversity and asking a lot of "Why" around contribution, creation, content, and...

Today's guest Monisha Chandanani is a dear friend whose BIG TRUTH really touched me personally and I hope it does the same for you, "Humility is the way." We explored: -The value in practice -Being alone versus lonely -How the "goggles" you wear influence what you see -Mindful awareness and how you can't transform what you don't see -Consciousness and how creation works -and much more... We also g...

In today's solo episode you'll hear me geeking out to the highest degree on one of my favorite topics - TRUST. More specifically, self trust. You'll also get a little peek into how my brain and creative process works as I walk you through the brand new Trust Assessment I just released. We're so conditioned into black or white thinking, we often label ourselves "good" or "bad" at a thing, without l...

In this sermon I'm sharing a passage from Tara Brach's book, Radical Acceptance. I did a random flip through asking to land on a message that would have great value for us. The passage I landed on was in a section called, WHEN ADDICTIVE WANTING TAKES OVER OUR LIFE. I particularly loved a story about an "enlightened monk," who wasn't so enlightened after all. Whether you struggle or suffer with any...

Mel Wells is with us today and I loved her BIG TRUTH, "We all learn best by watching what others do rather than by listening to what they say." We took this truth and talked about: -How people can use social media for a range of things from judgment to self-love -How diet culture shatters people's ability to see their greatness -Her take on the body positivity movement -Hunger, cravings, and how f...

Today's Sunday Sermon is all about listening and the myriad ways better listening touches our lives. Listening to yourself Listening to life Listening relating to trust Relating to surrender Because we don't know what to trust if we're not listening We don't know what to surrender if we're not listening Listening is a function of paying attention Paying attention and listening require that we slow...

I'm pleased to introduce our first ever musician to the show today - Trevor Hall. Trevor's BIG TRUTH was threefold, "Not trying to figure it all out, being comfortable with the unknown and surrendering into that space." We talked about: -His most recent album release which was both innovative and unconventional -His path as a professional musician (This was fascinating to me! He signed a record de...

Today we have Julie Santiago with us and she had two BIG TRUTHS to share with us. The first she called universal, "We all know who we are and what we want." The second she called personal, "I want my life to be super simple." So we dove into both. Specifically: -How she is simplifying -The paradox of control - we have so much control and so much is out of our control -The drive to be known, to kno...

Today's Sermon is based around an experience I had earlier this week. If you're on Instagram and you ever watch my stories, you know I go to the beach most mornings out of the week. It's where and how I connect, and make time to attune myself to nature, who for me and I believe for all who are willing to pay close attention - is my greatest teacher. She is a master at using what she has. She doesn...

Today's guest, Lisa Romano, is an expert in helping people overcome faulty childhood programming that narcissistic abuse and codependency creates. We got all up in emotions, mindset, how you think about yourself if you've had either of these experiences, gaslighting, and other struggles this kind of dysfunction contributes to. Even if you haven't experienced either of these things, you may find th...

This episode was inspired by a recent post I made on Facebook about real, deep body love and acceptance. The responses to the post inspired me to being writing a piece around it during a writing workshop I attended recently in Mexico. And then, days after I'd made the post, as women were still chiming in, I realized this conversation is only just beginning. There is a lot to unpack and explore her...

Going into 2017 I knew it was going to be a year focused on healing. I didn't know it was going to be a year of embracing my mystical nature. I'd been intrigued by the idea of mysticism for the last few years. Had even picked up a book called The Essential Mystics, Poets, Saints and Sages: A Wisdom Treasury on a road trip in Ashland Oregon the Summer of 2015. But for some reason I was waiting to d...

Today's episode probably isn't as big of a deal as it feels like to me. Or maybe it is. I don't know. What I do know and have known for a while is that change was called for, so I surrendered. I'd been feeling the momentum of inevitability behind me for the last five or so months, like a force of miraculous grace. I took my time, listened, and applied deeper trust than I've had to on any decision...
