Really, how bad can success be to be aggressively feared?

Well in this episode Liz sits with the truths that became impossible to ignore in 2025: the patterns she kept repeating, the places she showed up out of obligation instead of alignment, and the things she didn’t allow herself to grieve properly. This is an honest reflection on growth that wasn’t aesthetic or filtered where clarity that came late, and lessons were uncomfortable.

As we look toward 2026, this season opener isn’t about setting louder goals it’s about choosing self-trust, releasing what no longer fits, and deciding what cannot come with us into the next chapter. If you’re starting the year feeling reflective, tender, or quietly ready for change, this conversation and season is for you.
