The Inspired Being Podcast

This week we dive into the feedback we get from others in our lives, and question how we incorporate other people's opinions into our understanding of who we are. Liz and Dave both share their own personal struggles with this topic, and we examine how the judgments of others really reflect our own judgments of ourselves.

It's wild to think you can do your job well and still feel like an impostor while doing it! Impostor Syndrome is a fascinating phenomenon where you cannot fully accept the accolades, skills, and talents you display, and are instead convinced that you are truly not that capable, and have everyone fooled! In this episode, we pick apart some potential origins for Impostor Syndrome and explore wa...

In this episode, we discuss what it means to be energetically "protected." We cover our own journeys learning about protection, and (spoiler alert) reveal how the best protection just may be no protection at all. If you feel you need to get all armored up in the world, have a listen and perhaps there's a better way... For more information, visit https://www. InspiredBeingLLC.com and...

Control can show up with acute intensity in specific situations or could be lurking around influencing your life in much more subtle ways. Is control a good thing to have in your life or is it actually the cause of your unhappiness and frustration? We sort out some core themes behind one's desire to be in control and of course, we need to throw in a few spiritual perspectives as well! Have a...

We're back in the beyond this week as we discuss a host of non-physical beings - ghosts, apparitions, fairies, aliens, Bigfoot, and Dave's fave... Nessie. While we acknowledge there's no way for us to *know* for sure what the deal is with all these beings, it sure is fun to talk about and explore! For more information, visit https://www.

** TRIGGER WARNING FOR DEATH AND EUTHANASIA ** While our conversation today is mostly focused on belief systems around death, dying, and the afterlife, we encourage you to take caution around these topics if you are sensitive to them. This episode does not serve as suicide prevention nor do we address what to do if you are struggling with thoughts of self-harm or suicide. If you are in need of sup...

To err is human, as the saying goes. So why do we spend so much energy on trying to avoid making mistakes? Even more so, why are we so hard on ourselves when we blunder? From the “see me”s on childhood school work to the masculine wound, we cover the potential reasons why making a mistake is so scary and offer compassion and grace to your humanness to help you find meaning in your mishaps. For mor...

In this listener-requested conversation, we let go of control and step into the flow!  We discuss the inner mindset needed to support a natural flow of life, and then ponder upon the interplay that inner flow has upon the outside world of manifestation. As we slide into the zone, we allow our conversation to meander past Bruce Lee and side ponytails, art and athletics, and finally glide down a laz...

Working on yourself, whether through therapy, yoga, acupuncture, and all the other healing modalities, deserves kudos. Great job! But what do you do when you feel like you have completed that work? Now what? With this listener-suggested topic, Liz and Dave discuss our society's deeply-ingrained hyper-masculine conditioning and how to adjust our mindset to discovering the magic of inspired act...

Please, tell me what I'm supposed to do to be more spiritual! We are both familiar with being asked these questions, but of course, it would not be very spiritual of us to just give you the answers! Listen to find out why this question makes Liz a jerk and how Dave's embodiment of spirituality makes it difficult to discern what even is considered a "spiritual practice" anymore....

From psychology to shamanism, we have all the tools you need to parent your inner child! These young parts of us are often calling for our attention and care - and are likely asserting themselves into our relationships hoping to get the care that they need. Once you get in touch with your inner young ones and hear their story, you can provide them the love, play, and freedom that they seek... ther...

In this episode we share “the secret” to manifestation! Just when you thought we left the "toxic and triggered" energy of our recent episodes behind, we discover that once again, we need to pay attention to our shadowed thoughts and feelings  in order to manifest our desires! Lift out of the density of doubt, get in alignment, and join us as we co-create some amazing manifestations! For...

COME ON DOWN to play another round of "Toxic and Triggered" - the game show where we rile you up and have you sit with your feelings! We cover all your triggers! I trigger you, you trigger me - it’s the way relationships are supposed to be! Thank goodness “Radical Acceptance” comes up to soothe all the feels and bring us back to presence.  Tara Brach: https://www.tarabrach.com Radical Ac...

"Toxic and Triggered" doesn't just make for a great band name - it's also a bunch of lingo we throw around in sessions. After a wonderful time with Love, we dance with what is not-love and toxify ourselves! We wade in some noxious gas and watch how it quietly seeps in through vulnerability, hardens its host, and presents intense challenges to relationships and work environments...

We are keeping the loving vibes of Valentine's Day going with today's chat - after all, love is the energy that heals all wounds! Of course, we cannot talk about love without exploring the barriers to it. Fear, projections, and conditional love are at the heart (ha!) of our talk today. Liz shares how her awareness of resilient and motivating love is based on her work with the toughest an...

We bring it all together today - mind, body, spirit... and beyond. We explore non-physical reasons for physical ailments and the interplay between our minds, emotions, and physical bodies. Discover the deeper meaning of Liz's "pain in the neck," and how acupuncture is a powerful modality to address all things as one.

We hear so much about masculine and feminine energy in both cultural conversations and the world of spirituality. These themes have shown up in many of our episodes already, and will certainly be repeated in the future. With our combined masculine and feminine energies, we explore how these are independent of gender and how they show up both within each of us and in relationships. Are you dying to...

Today we shed the fear and traditional societal teachings about cannabis, psilocybin, and ayahuasca in order to explore the potential for these plants to be used for medicinal purposes. We have been hearing about these plants from our clients for years, and we are starting to see more news publications acknowledging the potential benefits for mental health. Could these plants really shift from the...

Building off our conversation on creativity and medicine, we slide more into the woo, and explore magic.... or is it magick? Swimming in the fun and power of this topic, Liz shares how she has reshaped the neighborhood, and Dave goes on a journey of inspiration, culminating with reclaiming his inner magician.

Happy new year Inspired Beings! Where is your inspiration taking you today? In this episode we discuss how being creative is a healing balm. Creativity is not only about helping move through things that are stuck within your own psyche, it is about having the bravery to surrender into a greater flow and allowing the medicine to move through you. We offer a look at the creative ways that we are put...

As we hit the 6-month mark of the Inspired Being Podcast, we also hit the end of the calendar year. The flipping of the calendar pages (for those of us who still may use  calendars that have actual paper pages) produces a huge wave of energy in our societal mentality. Let's talk about how we can gracefully approach this yearly transition, through gathering our resources, celebrating our perso...

Come hither and step into the darkness within yourself. No need to be scared, there are some amazing gems to be found inside! We outline a broad definition of Shadow Work and the incredible empowerment that quietly awaits there for you as you explore the parts of you long left behind. Liz gets passionate about what Shadow Work is (and isn't), and finds the benefits of being a liar while Dave...

Do you prefer to cuddle up with a cup of cocoa alone in your home or go out and be loud and proud in a crowd? Perhaps you're an introvert, an extrovert, an introverted extrovert or maybe an extroverted introvert! However you might identify, we look at this topic as a process of energy management. Learning more about what truly recharges your batteries (instead of what others may have told you...
