Embodied with Elizabeth Patricia DiAlto Figueroa

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, founder of Badass Girls and a pioneer in bringing embodiment practices to teens.

Eliza has been facilitating conversations with this age group since she herself was a teen. Her body of work, Badass Girls, is a devoted online space for teens and preteens. This collection of resources promotes a positive peer community, body literacy, self-trust, and more.

In this episode, we talk about the unique challenges of growing up in today's world and why Eliza believes adolescence is the most sacred time of our lives. She and a highly trained group of mentors have created the Badass Academy as an intergenerational community that is so vital yet often missing in the lives of girls today. You can also listen in on her Be Real podcast and follow her on Instagram.

Join me in today's episode as we discuss how we can better support girls on their way to adulthood and help them find their place in the greater community.

About the EMBODIED Podcast with Elizabeth DiAlto

Since 2013 I've been developing a body of work that helps women embody self love, healing and wholeness. We do this by focusing on the four levels of consciousness - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

In practical terms this looks like exploring tools and practices to help you tune into the deep wisdom of the body and the knowing of the heart, which I believe are gateways to our souls. Then we cultivate a new relationship with our minds that allows the mind to serve this wisdom and knowing and soul connection, rather than override it, which is what many of us were taught.

If you've been doing self help or spiritual development work for a while, these are the types of foundational things that often people overlook in pursuit of fancier concepts that often aren't practical or sustainable. Here, we will focus on building these strong foundations so you can honestly and thoroughly embody self love. If you're feeling it, subscribe to the show, and leave us a review wherever you listen from. You can also keep up with show updates and community discussion on Instagram here.

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 the tools of Human Design, Astrology, and Numerology to bring spiritual clarity to people's lives. She helps people discover and embrace their innate psychic, intuitive, and divine talents. She aims to empower people to live life unburdened and truer to themselves.

I'm excited to dig deeper into Acyee's work. For me, spirituality is inextricably linked with embodiment practices. They both help us get out of our heads and experience life more fully.

Join me in today's episode to learn more about spiritual empowerment, the Mystic Path, and the Divine Talent within you that's waiting to be embraced.

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

If you've been following along for a while, then you know that my life has been in flux amidst a cross country move as this episode goes live.. I'm sure many of you are also feeling the pain of living through this pandemic, regardless of what else is going on in your lives.

There is a lot going on that we can't control, so we must focus on what we can: our mindsets, emotions, and the choices we make.

In today's episode, I'm talking about the vital importance of patience and humility in times of turmoil.

The road to embodied healing and self-liberation isn't always sexy. Humility and patience are challenging and leave us feeling vulnerable. But they are the best way I know to have a better tomorrow.

It's time to let go of ego and embrace compromise.

It's time to release our expectations and embrace uncertainty.

It's time to face difficult things within ourselves and embrace whatever creates the most good for the most people.

Practicing patience and humility is not easy. But for the sake of our collective healing and liberation, they are essential. Together we can recapture the sacredness, potential, and possibility of everything life has to offer.

Join me in today's episode to learn how these unsexy ways of being can help you find peace and purpose even in uncertain times.

[7:56] The three choices we are all faced with during this turbulent time

[9:23] The definitions of false dichotomy, false equivalencies, and divisive narratives and how they are harmful for our collective healing

[19:11] The need for compromise and letting go if we are truly committed to the progress of humanity

[25:53] How patience and humility are essential in times of crisis and change

[27:16] A crucial question to reflect on as we continue to work toward embodied healing and self-liberation

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 personal and professional development - and how to make the wisest, most soul-aligned choices and decisions with our time, energy, and dollars…

My friend Tara Nicholle Kirke has a book about Transformational Consumers - I will have her on the podcast in the Fall she's an epic human and the story of how we met is great - but I was diving into her book lately because that's what I am and that's what you all are.

We're all transformational consumers.

We invest in transformation - from health products, to books, to programs, retreats, courses, healing..etc.

There's nothing wrong with that - we care about and prioritize healing, growth and development, and for some that includes spirituality, too...so this episode is really dedicated to being WISER Transformational Consumers so we can put our time and money in the best hands. Hands we trust, hands that share our values, hands that are actually invested themselves in collective healing and liberation, not just self aggrandization, amassing wealth and influence for themselves, and whose businesses and programs in very unobvious ways keep the systems we'd love to dismantle alive, well, healthy, and thriving!

• [9:09] My friend Tara's book, The Transformational Consumer
• [10:47] The return on investment of transformational consumerism
• [13:53] A reflection on my 8+ years in California and the soul truths I learned
• [17:34] Why I am so committed to transparency and the truths about the polluted self-help industry
• [19:21] My new rule for myself about investing into programs, courses, etc.
• [22:55] Why we should be able to ask people where their money comes from
• [26:05] How we're built as people and how we participate in shenanigans as consumers
• [31:19] Why you need to take time to discern if someone is really who they say they are
• [34:02] Why you should avoid approaches that invalidate your lived experiences

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 Sacred Body Wound, and it impacts the way we treat ourselves and interact with the world.

Do you struggle with identifying and processing emotions and feelings?

Do you feel ashamed of your body?

Do you battle with an eating disorder or otherwise self-harm?

Do you avoid exploring your sexuality, or hyper-focus on diets and weight loss?

These are examples of the Sacred Body Wound at work, and it affects each woman differently.

Regardless of how this wound manifests in your life, its primary goal is to make you forget how sacred, miraculous, and wondrous your body is.

Combatting this wound plays a vital part in our paths toward embodied healing and self-liberation. And giving a name to this wound is the first step toward winning that battle.

Join me in today's episode to learn more about The Sacred Body Wound and how to begin to heal it in your life.

Listen to episode 354 now!

[2:51] How the practice of naming can empower you in your path toward embodied healing

[6:24] Questions that can help you identify patterns and gauge your healing progress

[9:40] How naming our wounds can help us to remove personal identification

[10:54] What the sacred body wound is and why it's important to combat it

[15:49] How we begin to experience the sacred body wound even as young girls

[17:20] What to do now that you can name the wound that separates you from fully embracing your sacred body

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 and informative: The Wild Soul Archetypes.

The Wild Soul Archetypes help us to better understand and access the power that is inside each one of us.

These archetypes are energetic expressions that can be used for healing, self-discovery, growth, and reprogramming old paradigms, habits, and beliefs.

We naturally embody a particular Wild Soul Archetype (or several!) during different seasons of our lives. As we learn to identify and connect with each of them, we grow ever closer to experiencing wholeness and freedom.

The purpose of this episode is to provide a quick primer about the Wild Soul Archetypes before we dig deeper into them over the next several weeks.

I'm excited to help you unearth and reclaim what's already inside of you. The six Wild Soul Archetypes are...

The Sovereign Queen,

The Warrior Goddess,

The Medicine Woman,

The Sacred Creatress,

The Divine Mother, and

The Erotic Priestess.

These archetypes represent the beautiful multi-dimensionality that exists in all women. Join me in today's episode to learn which one you are currently embodying and how her wisdom can guide you in your journey toward embodied healing and self-liberation.

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 healing help people to

• Reconnect to themselves
• Reconnect to the Divine or their spirituality
• Heal long-standing interpersonal issues
• Tap into their confidence, see their strengths, and live without apology

But you don't have to take my word for it.

I'm also sharing the words of people like you who've experienced healing through the Embodied Living Center.

Everyone's experience is unique because everyone has their own path.

But what I have seen across the board is people recognizing their multidimensionality - the gifts and talents they have to offer the world - and embracing it to live fuller, happier lives.

Are you searching for a way to live in alignment with who you're meant to be?

Take a few minutes to listen to what these women have to say, and decide if embodiment is the piece you've been missing.

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:

• Intentionality
• Introspection
• Integration, and
• Integrity

The purpose of this framework is to provide clarity for your healing journey. The self-liberation framework that I shared last week provides support and direction for the embodied healing framework.

I'll briefly explore each of The Four I's in today's episode.

For deep dives into both the self-liberation and the embodied living framework, check out the Embodied Living Center.

Designed to be a cave of wonders for embodied healing and self-liberation, the ELC has a plethora of resources to guide you along your path toward healing. It includes access to 160+ class recordings, two mini-courses, and support from a

like mind-heart-souled community of women from around the world

Summer enrollment for the Embodied Living Center is open now through June 22. Reserve your spot today!

After exploring the embodied healing framework, I discuss how honoring nature helps you to get the most from your embodied healing journey.

Our bodies are reflections of nature because we are in nature and of nature.

When we are aware of the energy of Nature's seasons and cycles, we can be more intentional with our embodied healing.

When we incorporate the energy of the seasons into our healing, we don't have to expend as much of our own energy. We can let nature assist with some of the heavy lifting.

How does this work? Listen to today's episode to find out!

I also share the four laws of nature that I have personally observed (mostly from my plants!) that have helped me better understand embodied healing. We can learn a lot from Mother Nature about being gentle with ourselves and growing well.

Today's episode isn't intended to be a course (or even a crash course) in embodied healing. Instead, I've compiled a library of resources that I have either created or personally used. I hope they will resonate with you as you determine your next step.

If you're listening to this in real-time, then I highly recommend that your next step be to join us in the #IShineYouShine challenge.

There's still one week left - including our summer solstice celebration! Join us for free here!

I'm excited to see where this next year takes each of us on our journeys toward embodied healing and self-liberation.

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 be clear about what I mean when I speak of self-liberation and embodied healing because they currently define my work.

In the most basic sense,

Embodied healing is healing that goes beyond mental processing alone. It integrates the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our individual and collective consciousness.

Self-liberation is about getting free from things that keep us from being our whole selves.

But it doesn't stop there. The miraculous thing about individual embodied healing work is that it naturally leads to collective healing. Likewise, self-liberation work leads to collective liberation.

After the year+ we've experienced as a global community, we are overdue for big shifts in collective healing and liberation.

But healing isn't a one-and-done event. It's also not a straight uphill climb.

In this episode, I explain

• How healing happens in layers over time
• Why healing and recovery go hand-in-hand
• How the common myth of "brokenness" may be holding you back
• What wholeness looks like in the context of self-liberation and embodiment.

I also discuss my self-liberation framework. (If you've been around for a while, you're probably already familiar with it - or may know it as one of its former names, as I've been developing the framework for seven years now.)

I believe healing frameworks should work more like healing maps. In my framework, the eight tenets you work with as they resonate with you are

• Surrender
• Release
• Trust
• Receptivity
• Wild Dreaming
• Desire
• Love, and
• Truth.

Dive into today's episode for a brief overview of how the tenets of self-liberation anchor your work in embodied healing.

And to jumpstart (or continue!) your self-liberation work, join me on June 11th for the #IShineYouShine challenge!

This is a free 11-day embodiment challenge. I'm going to help you "Get Your Shine Back" through

• healing and liberating embodiment practices,
• dedicated community space,
• a one-of-a-kind Summer Solstice Ceremony,
• AND the biggest giveaway I've ever put together!

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 "love and light" or "choose love over fear" have been abused over the years.

It's time we reclaimed "love and light." Not just the term, but the Love and Light that are available to us out in the world.

Darkness has been clouding our lives for over a year. Not just in our local cities and towns, but in our worldwide community. Uncertainty and fear are our daily companions. It's easy to feel stuck and confused about what our next steps should be.

That's why we must choose this moment to intentionally recalibrate our personal lives and communities toward more light. Love and light can heal even deep, generational wounds. If our world ever needed a push toward healing, it is now.

For my part, I've decided to reboot the #IShineYouShine challenge on Friday, June 11.

The goal is to show you how to release the dark in your own life and provide you with some embodied tools and practices to help. We'll also provide you with a pop-up community in which to do the work.

Are you ready to invite more love and light into your life and take the next step in embodied healing and self-liberation?

Join me in today's episode to explore what it means to reclaim love and light.

I'll also share more details about the #IShineYouShine challenge that you won't want to miss.
