The Inspired Being Podcast

As we move past Thanksgiving, we move into the season where everything is merry and bright! It's the "most wonderful time of the year!" ...unless it's not. The short days, long nights, cold air,  intense expectations, and high energy that come with the season can add layers of challenge to what we feel like on the inside. In this episode, we talk about managing the winter blues...

"It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right? Shouldn’t I be enjoying it more??" We all know the holiday season holds a lot of potential for fun. It is also quite common to feel overwhelmed, obligated, pressured and exhausted! Let us help lighten the load of expectations this season with some ideas and offerings to lead a more peaceful, soulful (perhaps even non-traditional??) holida...

Drift into the dream world where your subconscious takes the reins!  In this listener-requested episode, we talk about different experiences in the dream state. From garbledy-gook to woo-woo magic, we touch on all different kinds of dream-speriences we have had. Dave offers insight from the world of shamanism and Chinese medicine and Liz reports how she stays busy working with both the living and...

We have another spiritual gateway for you this week: Oracle cards! Come wander through the gateway of these spiritual tools and find out if the cards hold some kind of magic or are just a spicy version of psychology. Listen to Dave share about Shamanic Divination and heed Liz's warning about "Oracle Addiction." Do oracle cards have a place in your spiritual journey? Let's shuff...

There's just something about Reiki that invites, entices, and encourages the pursuit of the "woo"... At  least, that's what happened for us - Reiki was our entry into the world of spiritual and intuitive exploration. In this discussion, we go back to our woo-roots and explore where it all began. We hypothesize why Reiki is a perfect entry point into the esoteric arts. By the en...

Forgiveness is a process of unbinding our energy from the past in order to find greater freedom in the present. Relieving ourselves of these energetic ties allows us more energy to be used in our everyday experiences. Dave comes prepared to talk about forgiveness of others, of self, and of life in general and Liz makes sure to spend some quality time on the emotional process that must be felt in o...

We bumped our originally-scheduled episode on Forgiveness to address Powerless this week instead. Sometimes before you can forgive, you must acknowledge your own feelings of despair, helplessness, isolation, and powerlessness. With current events and worldly news reminding us daily of what is not in our control, we felt it necessary to address these intense feelings in order to make space for insp...

We hope you’ve felt excited rather than anxious for part 2 of our talk on Anxiety! We relaxed more deeply into this topic as we explored the more energetic and spiritual aspects of anxiety. We hope you allow yourself to rest safely in the arms of Mother Earth, while you get to know yourself better and develop a greater sense of faith in all things as you listen to this week’s episode. For more inf...

Welcome to part 1 of our first 2-part topic - Anxiety! A topic so nice we have to talk about it twice. In this episode we ground as best we can in this ungrounded (and ungrounding) energy. We approach this topic from two very different personal places, as Liz offers some tools and perspectives from her psychology background, while Dave offers how acupuncture can provide a "side door" in...

We get into our Spiritual Time Machine and travel back to before, before times... and talk about Past Lives! Are we just telling ourselves magical fables about our lives to help us see our situations more clearly or could there be some truth to the notion you have existed in other lifetimes before? Explore the unverifiable concept of past lives and find out why we love to work with these stories....

In both our human and soulful communities, we toss around the idea of "letting go" on a regular basis, but what are we actually letting go of? Although the saying goes "the autumn trees show us how beautiful it is to let go," Dave and Liz explore why they both have a visceral reaction to being told to "let go."  Like a classic psychotherapist, Liz breaks it down to th...

...or is it Life-Work Imbalance? We are scratching our heads as to why work takes precedence over life... and more importantly, how can we change this? We can’t all quit our jobs, but maybe we can find some new perspective and put work back in its rightful place. In this episode we take some much needed diversions to discuss all the ways we seek to find balance - some healthy, some not so much so....

It is your destiny to listen to this episode! Or... is it your free-will choice? Just how much of your life are you actually in control of and what has already been predetermined? Maybe it's all just a Choose Your Own Adventure book featuring you as a mouse, paddling down a river on a leaf. Are you destined to find out how this came up in our conversation, or is it your choice to listen and f...

Have you been looking for a sign? It's here! This is your signiest sign! We go beyond your standard 11:11s, 444s, and Hawk sightings to span signs and synchronicities from coincidences and meaningful patterns all the way to spiritual communications. If you are looking for an example of a really sign-y sign - Liz posted one of her coolest spiritual signs on our Facebook and Instagram accounts....

Thank you for listening, thank you for sharing, thank you for being alive! Today we are working not only to have an “attitude of gratitude” but to embody its energy fully. Why aren’t we more grateful for what we have? We have some ideas. Let’s remove the obstacles that block our gratitude and cultivate some higher vibe living!  For more information, visit https://www.

"Sit still, cross-legged, and don't have any thoughts at all. That is how to meditate." We call shenanigans on the overly-rigid structure and "supposed tos" of meditation as we explore all that it is and can be in this episode. Come "find your center" with us!

We are only warming up in this talk as we dive into one of our favorite topics: Intuitive Readings! We share our experience both giving and receiving readings over the years, and distill down what we have learned so others can find the kind of reading and reader that is right for them! We discuss what makes an intuitive reading worthwhile, cautions and concerns, must-haves, and what science has to...

Did you sense that this topic was coming? We thought so... because you are intuitive! Whether you call it gut instinct, intuition, or the "clairs," we all have a way of knowing about the world without concrete evidence or proof. Listen in as we (who is the "we"?) get out of the way in order to uncover one of the most natural tools we have been given to gather information about...

One thing is clear from this week’s discussion - the concept of boundaries has no limits. We veer, meander, and venture into unexpected niche topics related to boundaries. Learn what meditation, Empaths, and lying awake at 4am all have to do with our topic of boundaries. For more information, visit https://www. InspiredBeingLLC.com and https://www. LionHeartMedicineLLC.com Follow Liz on Facebook,...

Take a leap with us into the unprovable world of spirituality! Liz shares the social work perspective how spiritual belief systems can help and protect us, and Dave explores the interplay of science and spirituality. We both share our fears about being "other-ed" when coming out as spiritual, but ultimately how we were met with greater peace and comfort under the shelter of the Spiritual...

We have a meaty episode for you, as we get all into emotions, or "shmeshomotions" for those who get a little queasy at the mere thought of talking about your feelings! We talk feelings, we talk emotions, we talk about feeling your emotions! Explore the wild world of your emotions and our take on why identifying them is a vital part of your mind-body wellness. A special treat at the end o...

In this episode, Liz talks about normalizing the abnormalities that COVID brought to light. Dave asserts that everything is normal simply because it is. Ultimately, we reveal that feeling normal is an inside job, and pose the paradoxical challenge to embrace what may be deemed abnormal... and how that is the path to realizing your own normalcy! For more information, visit https://www. InspiredBein...

Do you feel that? That nudge? That internal longing? That sense that there must be something more for you in this life? Personal growth is calling you!   But... do you really want to answer the call? If you have the courage, this process could bring out a whole new you... or is it more that it just reveals more of you? In this episode, we explore what it takes to do personal growth and uncover why...

In this episode, Liz insists on finding out who Dave really is. And no, she won't accept “Dave” as the answer. Is he a human, a soul, consciousness, or something else?  Ever wonder who the voice inside your mind is that talks to you? We want to know too! Join us on our journey to get to the bottom of the age-old conundrum that asks, “Who are you?” For more information, visit https://www. Insp...

Meet your co-hosts Liz Varney and Dave Eyerman, and find out what makes us qualified to guide you along the topsy-turvy, spinning-spiraling ride through the world of mind, body, spirit healing... and beyond.  Wait... Did someone say “healing?" Listen in as we become clear that we are not healers at all. But... if that's the case, then what are we?? Find out in this inaugural episode. For...
