EP 471 The Unexpected Grief of Reinvention: Creativity, Identity & Starting Over with Andrea Gomez
In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I'm joined by artist, designer, and creator of The Elders Council Oracle Deck, Andrea Gomez Botero, for a deeply personal conversation about allowing yourself to be changed by life without resisting every identity death along the way. Andrea shares her journey from Colombia to the Netherlands after falling in love, and the unexpected grief that came with leaving behind her home, language, culture, family, and familiar sense of self. Together, we explore why reinvention is rarely just about beginning something new—it's also about mourning what no longer fits, allowing parts of ourselves to die, discovering who we're ready to be, and the role art, creativity, and beauty can play in such transitions. One of the most powerful moments in our conversation comes when Andrea says: "When nothing makes sense, make art." We also explore how creativity differs from productivity, why our creative lives are often hijacked by performance and output, and how art can help us metabolize experiences that words alone cannot. More: • The hidden grief of starting over and reinventing yourself • Moving across the world and rebuilding your identity • Why creativity is not the same as productivity • Making art as a way through uncertainty and transformation • Nature as a teacher through seasons of change • Following intuitive "yeses," even when they're frightening • Identity death, personal evolution, and becoming • Human Design, Gene Keys, and living through cycles of transformation • Why lived experience becomes our deepest creative resource • Creating a life that reflects who you're becoming—not who you've been Whether you're navigating a move, a career shift, a creative awakening, or a season of profound personal reinvention, this conversation is a reminder that transformation often asks us to grieve, create, and trust in equal measure.

EP 470 The Burnout of Healing Yourself with Sara Kassem
What if your healing journey has become another way to exhaust yourself? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I'm joined by therapist and energy strategist Sara Kassem for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, shame, nervous system safety, hypervigilance, and what happens when healing itself becomes another form of self-exploitation. Together, we explore why so many of us confuse constant vigilance with safety, how burnout can become a way of life, and what it actually takes to reclaim our energy without sacrificing ourselves in the process. In this episode, we discuss: • The hidden burnout of always trying to heal • Hypervigilance, nervous system safety, and chronic exhaustion • The difference between feeling safe and constantly protecting yourself • Shame, embarrassment, and the surprising role of "cringe" • Recovering from Superwoman syndrome and over-functioning • Why healing can become another form of self-exploitation • Restoring pride and integrity in how you use your energy • Joy as an antidote to apathy and burnout • Character, trust, and choosing the right thing over the easy thing • Small, consistent actions that create lasting transformation Whether you're navigating burnout, chronic stress, people-pleasing, or a season of deep personal healing, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what it really means to feel safe, trust yourself, and stop carrying more than is yours.

EP 469 (Part 2) Wholeness, Agency & Sovereignty: Reclaiming the Authority of Your Own Life
What do words like wholeness, agency, sovereignty, and authenticity actually mean in a lived life - not as buzzwords, but as practices? In this solo episode of The Embodied Podcast, I continue last week's conversation on identity by exploring what it means to live from wholeness. Through personal stories and Greek mythology, I unpack some of the internet's most overused words and offer a more grounded understanding of authorship, agency, sovereignty, authenticity, and self-governance. Together, we'll explore how our identities are shaped, how we unconsciously adopt roles that don’t always serve us, and why reclaiming authorship isn't about controlling life - it's about consciously choosing how we participate in it. In this episode, we discuss: • The roles we inherit and the identities we unconsciously adopt • Why wholeness isn't something we become, but something we remember • Self-authorship and reclaiming the pen in your own life • Agency as participation - not control • Sovereignty as self-governance, not isolation • Authenticity, coherence, and living from your deepest truths • The myths of Demeter and Psyche as guides for modern life • Why discernment matters more than certainty • Letting other people's opinions become "blips on the screen" • Returning to yourself again and again Whether you're navigating an identity shift, questioning inherited beliefs, or longing to live a coherent and congruent life, this episode offers language, stories, and distinctions that invite a deeper, more nourishing relationship with yourself.

EP 468 (Part 1) Who Gets to Define Who You Are? | Identity, Heritage & Self-Trust
Who gets to decide who you are? In this solo episode of The Embodied Podcast, I explore many layers of identity—from ancestry, mixed heritage, and neurodivergence to astrology, family stories, self-perception, and the way the world reflects us back to ourselves. I share the deeply personal story behind adding my grandmother's last name, Figueroa, to my own, what reclaiming my Puerto Rican lineage has meant to me, and why defining yourself is one of the most liberating things you can do. I also reflect on discovering my AuDHD in midlife, navigating identity through perimenopause, and why so many of us are carrying invisible experiences that others simply can't see. This episode is an invitation to become more curious about your own identity—not the labels other people place on you, but the deeper truths that live beneath them. I get into: • Why identity is always evolving • Mixed heritage and cultural belonging • Reclaiming family history and ancestral connection • Adding my grandmother's last name • AuDHD, perimenopause, and self-understanding • The relationship between astrology and identity • Why people project identities onto others • What happens when you don't "look like" what you've lived through • Extending more empathy to ourselves and each other • Defining yourself instead of living through other people's assumptions Whether you're navigating an identity shift, reconnecting with your ancestry, exploring neurodivergence, or simply becoming more yourself with age, I hope this conversation reminds you that no one else gets to define who you are.

EP 467 Belonging, Friendship & Community with Jolenny Piedra
What if the medicine so many of us are searching for isn't more information—but more connection? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I'm joined by my dear friend Jolenny Piedra for a heartfelt conversation about belonging, friendship, community, curiosity, and the small acts of generosity that help us remember our shared humanity. Together, we explore what it means to live relationally in a world that often rewards isolation, busyness, and transaction over presence, kindness, and genuine connection. From music and travel to boundaries, judgment, technology, and everyday interactions, this conversation is an invitation to reconnect with one another—and with ourselves. In this episode, we discuss: • Why music and travel create profound human connection • The importance of friendship, community, and belonging • How technology can create the illusion of connection • The difference between boundaries and barriers • Why curiosity is more powerful than judgment • Small acts of generosity that change relationships • Reverence, kindness, and seeing the humanity in others • The courage to reach out instead of waiting • Creating meaningful relationships in modern life • Why we need each other more than ever Whether you're longing for deeper friendships, navigating loneliness, building community, or simply trying to live with more intention, this conversation offers a beautiful reminder that connection is something we create together.

EP 466 Rethinking Love, Monogamy and Self-Intimacy with Kalah Hill
What if love isn't something we find—but something we practice? And what if the relationship you have with yourself shapes every other relationship in your life? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I'm joined by Kalah Hill for a rich conversation about love, self-intimacy, monogamy, polyamory, pleasure, and creating relationships from freedom instead of conditioning. Together, we explore what it means to know yourself deeply enough to make conscious choices in love. We talk about questioning inherited relationship norms, following pleasure as a practice of self-trust, and why intimacy begins long before another person enters the picture. Kalah shares her journey into erotic embodiment, how spontaneous experiences of pleasure transformed her life, her perspective on polyamory as a relational and social practice, and why she's currently in an unexpected season of celibacy after years of profound exploration. We also get into: • Self-intimacy and embodied self-trust • Monogamy, non-monogamy, and polyamory • Pleasure as a spiritual practice • Erotic embodiment and life force • Compersion, jealousy, and relational freedom • Sexuality beyond labels and binaries • Objectification, agency, and sovereignty • Curiosity, consent, and self-discovery • Aging, ripening, and how love evolves over time • Purity culture, shame, and trusting your own body Whether you're monogamous, non-monogamous, polyamorous, single, partnered, or simply curious about creating more honest and intentional relationships, this conversation is an invitation to rethink love, deepen self-trust, and embrace your own path. — Connect with Kalah: Connect with Elizabeth: https://elizabethdialto.com/links

Ep 465 Beyond Inner Child Work: Meet Your Inner Teenager with Eliza Alloway
The inner child gets a lot of attention in healing work, but what about your inner teenager? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I'm joined by author, educator, and longtime friend Eliza Alloway for a heartfelt conversation about the inner teenager, belonging, embodiment, self-trust, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. We explore why adolescence is such a pivotal stage of human development, how so many of us learned to disconnect from our bodies and our truth, and why healing often requires returning to the parts of ourselves that were never fully seen, heard, or supported. We also talk about: • Healing your inner teenager and why it matters • The difference between inner child work and adolescent healing • Self-trust, boundaries, and becoming more precious to yourself • Belonging, authenticity, and finding your own path • Neurodivergence, sensitivity, and living in a complex world • Caregiving, integration, and rebuilding a relationship with yourself • Embodiment, nature, and reconnecting with your body • Why joy, creativity, and risk-taking are essential to healing Eliza also shares her evolving body of work, Homebody—a beautiful exploration of what it means to cultivate genuine friendship with your body instead of trying to fix, control, or perfect it. If you're navigating personal growth, healing old patterns, reclaiming your voice, or learning to trust yourself more deeply, this conversation offers both wisdom and practical insight.

EP 464: The Inner Elder with Heather Lindemenn
What if the wisest, most grounded, most trustworthy part of you is already inside you? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I’m joined by my dear friend, teacher, and guide Heather Lindemenn for a powerful conversation about the Inner Elder—the wise, mature aspect of ourselves that can hold, guide, and support every other part of who we are. Many of us are familiar with inner child work, healing childhood wounds, and tending to younger parts of ourselves. But what happens when we invite the Inner Elder to lead? Heather shares how connecting with the Inner Elder can help us move beyond hypervigilance, self-protection, and old survival patterns into deeper trust, wisdom, softness, and self-leadership. In this episode, we explore: * What the Inner Elder is and why it matters * Moving beyond inner child work alone * Healing childhood wounds through wisdom and self-trust * The difference between protection and true safety * Hypervigilance, nervous system healing, and softening * Spirituality, mentorship, and embodied wisdom * Trusting your lived experience * Leadership, healing work, and personal growth * How to access the wisest part of yourself We also talk about aging, maturation, mentorship, spiritual teachers, healing journeys, and what it means to grow into a deeper relationship with your own authority.

How do you improve communication in relationships—especially in midlife? What does it really take to choose connection over being right? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I’m joined by Verónica Márquez for a powerful conversation on midlife relationships, emotional maturity, and communication skills that deepen trust and intimacy. Verónica shares a transformative three-month experiment in her marriage where she practiced choosing connection over being right—and how it completely shifted the way she listens, communicates, and relates. We explore: Relationship communication in midlife How to build self-trust and emotional intelligence The power of curiosity and whole-body listening Navigating conflict with more presence and less reactivity Creating deeper, more meaningful connections in partnership and community We also talk about the inspiration behind Dinner Confidential, Verónica’s project designed to spark honest, intentional conversations around topics like confidence, fear, self-love, ambition, culture, and relationships.

EP 461: Midlife Transformation & Authentic Living | Embodiment, Integrity & Creative Rebirth
In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to return with more clarity, more honesty, and a deeper relationship to midlife, creativity, integrity, and being human. After years of personal recalibration, I’m looking at the strange split happening in culture right now: the pull toward natural, authentic, embodied living, and the growing pressure toward artificial desire, engineered beauty, fame, optimization, and endless self-improvement. I talk about aging as a privilege, the wisdom that only comes through lived experience, the cost of integrity, and why refusing to conform can sometimes feel like being shut out of spaces that reward performance over truth. This conversation also touches on the return of the Embodied Podcast, the importance of storytelling, the difference between soul desire and artificial desire, and why I no longer feel driven to “be somebody” — while still feeling deeply called to use my voice, share my gifts, and create from a more grounded place. If you’re navigating midlife, creative rebirth, identity shifts, spiritual recalibration, or the tension between authenticity and modern culture, this episode is for you.

Ep 460: Why I Retired the Podcast — And Why I’m Coming Back
I’m back! After retiring the podcast in 2024 and fully believing that chapter was complete, I’ve returned to Embodied with more clarity, tenderness, and truth than before. In this welcome-back episode, I’m catching you up like an old friend. I talk about the last two years of deep integration, moving home to New York City, reconnecting with Brooklyn, understanding my ADHD and neurodivergence more deeply, and letting go of identities that no longer needed to lead my life. I also share what Egypt, ancestral healing, perimenopause, collaboration, business, money, creativity, and redefining success have been teaching me. So much of what once felt like failure now feels like guidance. Those paths were not mistakes. They were part of the way home. Embodied is back as a space for refuge, revelation, real talk, healing, joy, liberation, midlife truth, and the blissruciating experience of being human.

Ep 458: What Is Your Truth
Telling the truth is the ultimate act of love, even when it hurts or is unpleasant. Fear and discomfort often hold us back from fully embracing truths. Truth telling requires courage. Today, we dive into the nuances of accessing and embracing your truth. I also share some truth of my own that I recently came to terms with, which while uncomfortable, is a relief to acknowledge and share with this community. Throughout the episode, we explore the tools and practices to help you access your truth. We also unpack the risks of speaking your truth, such as personal and societal repercussions, and how to navigate this while staying honest with yourself.

Ep 457: The Pleasure of Self Respect
Today, we explore the beauty and pleasure of self respect and its role in cultivating personal growth, fulfillment, and healing within yourself and your relationships. We examine self respect through the lens of The Erotic Priestess archetype, who embodies respect, reverence, and divine communion, serving as a guide for integrating spirituality, sensuality, and sexuality into your holistic human experience. We discuss how self respect is related to self awareness, self knowledge, self acceptance, and trust – the pillars of the Embodied Self Love Framework. We also dive into the meaning of the word erotic, which comes from the Greek word eros, and discuss the transformative power of love in its purest form. Plus, we take a look at Audre Lorde's essay "Uses of the Erotic," which exemplifies the significance of the erotic as a source of great power.

In the School of Sacred Embodiment, we believe that the gift of grace is not only something we can muster but also, in its highest form, a divine force. Today, we explore grace as an unstoppable channel that, once accepted, will come through with every opportunity it can to provide closure, release, and healing wherever needed.

Ep 453: Boundaries and Alchemizing Anger
So often, boundaries are misunderstood as a negative form of control rather than a structure that invites self-awareness, establishes healthy relationships, and highlights our true passions. In today's episode, we dive into the significance of anger as a source of information that reveals our boundaries, needs, and the necessary steps in our healing journey. Plus, we explore The Warrior Goddess archetype and how it can help us alchemize our anger to fuel transformative action towards what truly needs to be defended or protected. By facing uncomfortable truths and taking action for the things we care about, we can learn from the wisdom of The Warrior Goddess and better ourselves in the process. In episode 453 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (3:31) Why we cannot avoid negative realities or evade the truth within our spiritual communities (8:55) How to address systems of oppression in communities and focus on collective liberation over individual comfort (11:22) The Warrior Goddess archetype in the context of the Wild Soul Archetypes (15:58) Recognizing and addressing your anger to reveal your boundaries and purpose (20:28) A prayer for using words wisely, acknowledging their power, and protecting your energy Resources mentioned in the episode: Work with me: NEW! is availaJoin the Reweave Interest listble Free resources: Stay in touch:
