Embodied with Elizabeth Patricia DiAlto Figueroa

In Feb 2015, I did a 5-day symposium consisting of 25 interviews with powerful and inspiring women sharing their stories and advice for transcending life's struggles, fears and doing it their own way. We got so much incredible feedback on the interviews, we decided to turn it into a podcast. At times during the interviews when you hear us refer to the series or interviews that have already been done, keep in mind these interviews have been repurposed and may not follow the original order – but stay tuned because we'll be airing four each month on Mondays alternating with fresh new episodes called "Ask Liz" every Wednesday.

Fun story about today's podcast. When I was doing this first series of interviews, I had Tosha scheduled on a weekday morning at 9am. We were trying to connect on Skype but something was up with her computer and she couldn't get the camera to work.

Knowing she lives in the Bay Area and that I was heading up there that coming weekend, I threw it out there to see if she was available to do the interview in person - and that's what we ended up doing! Was so cool to meet her and get to spend some time together in addition to doing the interview.

Her book Outrageous Openness is one of those that I flip back through every now and again when I want to reconnect with myself and remember how easy it is to access the divinity within me.

About Tosha Silver:

I grew up in Pennsylvania thinking one day I would be a rabbi, a lawyer, or a weathergirl. But fate seemed to have other ideas. I graduated from Yale with a degree in English literature but along the way developed an unexpected passion for metaphysics and yogic philosophy. One way or another, whether teaching, writing, or doing private sessions, I've spent the last thirty years helping people access the Divine Beloved within. That's my biggest passion. I adore helping people access the Divine in deep, alive and authentic ways, without the usual dogma or jargon so common in this realm. I especially love the Universe's unexpected and wild sense of humor.Outrageous Openness: Letting the Divine Take the Lead, my first self-published book, gained a passionate audience around the world amongst people looking for fresh and vivid ways to open to the Divine. I'm thrilled that it was recently purchased by Atria Books who are bringing it to a wider audience. Most days I also write on my author page on Facebook so come follow me there for content-rich material. I truly enjoy helping folks from all over know the love affair that is always going on inside and outside with the Beloved. The connection and guidance from the Inner Divine begins to take the lead when it is sincerely invited….by anyone. The Universe is a Divine party.

In this episode, Tosha shares:

1. How to create a personal relationship with the Divine. 2. Debunking popular "manifestation" theories. 3. Relating to religion and spirituality

In this episode, I answer the following question:

The one thing I would like assistance on is understanding the boundaries between one's life's passion and the anger from life's discouragements. I am attempting to come into and become unapologetic in my beliefs, but is there also a point where my defenses are too high and I wonder if there are any pieces of advice you could help me with?
