In this episode of PCOS & Prosecco, we’re diving into one of the most powerful and transformative conversations yet. My guest, Liz Jones, takes us on a deeply personal journey of breaking free from the shackles of corporate America, navigating her identity as a Black queer woman, and discovering true happiness and health in the process.
Liz opens up about her days at Uber, where she climbed the corporate ladder while battling the weight of societal expectations and the invisible burdens placed on Black women. She candidly shares how she realized that her worth was being measured by her productivity—and how that realization pushed her to walk away from the safety of titles, tech, and her old life.
But this isn’t just a story about career pivots. Liz takes us through her "dark night of the soul," a spiritual awakening that led her to leave everything behind and embark on a soul-healing journey across Thailand, Malaysia, and Bali. From throwing away her makeup to embracing her natural beauty, from living in hostels to finding peace in minimalism, Liz reveals how stripping away societal expectations allowed her to reconnect with her authentic self.
We also get real about how this journey connects to health—both mental and physical. Liz shares how she learned to work with her body’s natural rhythms, healed her relationship with her period, and reclaimed her energy. Together, we explore how PCOS and other health challenges are deeply intertwined with the stress and pressure of living in survival mode, especially as Black women. And most importantly, Liz talks about the freedom and empowerment that comes from redefining your identity on your own terms.
This is more than just a conversation—it’s a call to action for every woman stuck in the grind, feeling unfulfilled, or questioning if there’s more to life. If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to your work or like you’ve lost touch with the vibrant, confident woman you used to be, this episode is for you.
Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and empowered to take the leap into a life of freedom, joy, and alignment.
