So, as we always do at the beginning of the show, I always like to ask the question, what is one book written by a woman that has significantly influenced your life?

Liz Svatek:

Well, I'm sure people have given you all the answers, right?

Liz Svatek:

Brene Brown, Michelle Obama, all the names.

Liz Svatek:

I'm sure I'm going to give you one.

Liz Svatek:

I bet you haven't heard yet.

Liz Svatek:

Great.

Liz Svatek:

Ian la Van Zant.

Liz Svatek:

One of her first books, I think I believe is called one day my soul just opened up.

Liz Svatek:

And when I was in my twenties, I got this book, and I'd never seen a book that was actually kind of a workbook also, like, it was kind of a hybrid book, like a journal and a book at the same time.

Liz Svatek:

And I, when I tell you, I poured into that book.

Liz Svatek:

I got in, I jumped into the book.

Liz Svatek:

I jumped into the book, and it just spoke to me, and I became a big iyanla fan.

Liz Svatek:

And I really, that was sort of like, I had always loved personal growth, even as a kid.

Liz Svatek:

I didn't know that at the time, but that what I was doing, I was always looking to better myself.

Liz Svatek:

And that was a book that I felt like in my twenties, just like, was a little life raft.

Liz Svatek:

It was a little life raft that in those rocky twenties where you're like, what is, what am I doing?

Liz Svatek:

What's going on?

Liz Svatek:

And I just, it was incredible.

Liz Svatek:

It really introduced me to kind of soul work, which is what I'm very passionate about today.

Host:

Liz, you know, you're not going to believe it, but I had the same experience in my twenties.

Host:

I swear, I was looking, I'm, like, looking around because I think it's in my hallway, but I literally still have it.

Host:

And it's, you know, this great book, and, and you open it up and it has the little play, the place got the little, and you make notes and stuff in it.

Liz Svatek:

A little placeholder.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Host:

A purple ribbon.

Host:

And I have such fun.

Host:

I mean, every night I would snuggle into my bed, you know, and in my twenties, in my little apartment, and I would, like, reflect and do the little exercises.

Host:

I feel like there was a morning and an afternoon or something.

Host:

Or morning and an evening or something.

Liz Svatek:

Yes, there was, like, a morning routine, and there was all these different little exercises you could do.

Liz Svatek:

And by the way, I was in my little apartment.

Liz Svatek:

Were you in New York?

Host:

I was in New York.

Host:

So we were probably like, I'm turning 50.

Host:

I know where living.

Host:

I would have been living at 96th and park at the time.

Liz Svatek:

I was at 96, 95th, and I was in what they call Dormandy courts at that time.

Host:

I know exactly what I mean.

Liz Svatek:

I think it was like 91st and third or.

Liz Svatek:

I don't know.

Liz Svatek:

Or 95th.

Host:

Yeah.

Host:

We were less than a mile from each other.

Liz Svatek:

We were like, hilarious, cocoa.

Host:

We were probably on the 6th train together, going to work in the morning.

Liz Svatek:

You're my new best friend, so just accept me and let me in.

Liz Svatek:

Oh.

Host:

So, everybody, you got to pick up this book.

Host:

Whether whatever age you are, it is one day.

Host:

My soul just opened up by in love.

Host:

And Zant, I think, is how you say her name.

Host:

And so, okay, Liz, tell us about warrior Women, Inc.

Host:

And what you, who you serve, what you do.

Host:

I mean, we got to understand right off the bat what is rapid transformational therapy.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Liz Svatek:

Oh, my God.

Liz Svatek:

It's a game changer.

Liz Svatek:

Well, I really.

Liz Svatek:

I serve women who are over 40.

Liz Svatek:

I really feel like I'm 54.

Liz Svatek:

I really believe that the forties, the fifties and sixties, they're a really unique time because we go through so many transitions.

Liz Svatek:

Like, maybe your marriage is ending.

Liz Svatek:

Maybe you're leaving a job.

Liz Svatek:

Maybe you're looking at legacy work.

Liz Svatek:

Maybe you're.

Liz Svatek:

Maybe your kids are now older, so they don't, you know, they're kind of moving on.

Liz Svatek:

And you're in this unique and menopause.

Liz Svatek:

I mean.

Liz Svatek:

I mean, that's a whole thing right there.

Liz Svatek:

So you're going through so many changes, and there's a tendency to kind of isolate yourself or kind of push through it or, you know, or just feel kind of sad about the whole thing.

Liz Svatek:

There's a lot of grief that goes on that nobody talks about in that zone.

Liz Svatek:

And I want to call women into, this is not a crisis.

Liz Svatek:

This is a calling.

Liz Svatek:

That little nudge you're getting from more, that little nudge you're getting, like, I want to leave a legacy.

Liz Svatek:

I want to.

Liz Svatek:

I want to do something bigger.

Liz Svatek:

That is a calling.

Liz Svatek:

And if you think there may be more for you, great news there is, because you wouldn't even be having the thought if there wasn't.

Liz Svatek:

So I'm always leading women into their legacy work.

Liz Svatek:

I'm helping them transform.

Liz Svatek:

But you.

Liz Svatek:

But this is what's interesting about legacy work.

Liz Svatek:

You cannot think that your legacy will transform you.

Liz Svatek:

You have to transform yourself first so you can discover your legacy.

Liz Svatek:

You sometimes can't see it if you don't do the work of you first.

Liz Svatek:

So that's kind of like the way I do it.

Liz Svatek:

We transform you, and then we start looking at, what is this legacy going to be?

Liz Svatek:

And one of the ways I transform women, and I have it in every single program that I do, and I also do it as a standalone thing, is rapid transformational therapy.

Liz Svatek:

And I discovered this, and once I discovered this, I was like, I am certifying in this.

Liz Svatek:

I am becoming a rap because I couldn't believe the results.

Liz Svatek:

It is like taking five years of therapy and doing it in 190 minutes.

Liz Svatek:

Session.

Host:

Holy mackerel.

Host:

Sign me up.

Liz Svatek:

It's incredible.

Liz Svatek:

And every woman that I've done it with, and listen, women come to me with all the things, right?

Liz Svatek:

I feel invisible.

Liz Svatek:

I feel like I don't know where I'm going in my life.

Liz Svatek:

I still have confidence.

Liz Svatek:

I have this insecurity.

Liz Svatek:

I don't even know where it's coming from.

Liz Svatek:

I feel like I have imposter syndrome.

Liz Svatek:

Like, hugely successful women who are like, I am terrified.

Liz Svatek:

I don't know what I'm doing.

Liz Svatek:

We all have this, have these things.

Liz Svatek:

And what it does is it really gives you an immediate, immediate result because it deals with your subconscious mind.

Liz Svatek:

It's a mix of hypnotherapy and five years of traditional therapy where we go to the root, we go to the source, we figure out what it is, and then I re help you rewire it, and then you listen to a little personalized recording.

Liz Svatek:

We have another coaching session to kind of bookend the whole thing.

Liz Svatek:

And I am telling you, I just.

Liz Svatek:

I just had a woman yesterday.

Liz Svatek:

I'm telling you, this woman had the most, like, she was.

Liz Svatek:

I've never seen someone so low.

Liz Svatek:

She just was like, I can't leave my house.

Liz Svatek:

I'm feeling so upset.

Liz Svatek:

I don't know where my life is going.

Liz Svatek:

She was just.

Liz Svatek:

And she used to be very vivacious.

Liz Svatek:

She just felt like she lost it all.

Liz Svatek:

We did this session.

Liz Svatek:

She opens her eyes after the session, and she looks five years younger.

Liz Svatek:

It was like I took a piano off her chest.

Liz Svatek:

It is really a game changer.

Host:

I love that.

Host:

And to be able to create a release of those blockages so you can just move forward, right?

Host:

I mean, you know, and so much, so much of us, I feel like at this, the stage, you know, and our audience is founders, right?

Host:

A lot of women who are out there, many of the people in our audience, the people that are listening, struggle because they've built something.

Host:

And it's working in many ways, but it's also taxing and exhausting.

Host:

And it's like, here we are.

Host:

We built this thing, but now it's like a yemenite ball and chain.

Host:

And also like, gee, I feel like I'm doing all of this, but it's not creating the prosperity or the joy in my life that I wished, and it's not what I imagined it would be, right?

Host:

Or I'm still having to control everything, and I want to let it go, but how do I.

Host:

Those are things that I commonly hear about as women are growing.

Host:

And then there's those that are in places like, where I am, where, you know, business evolves.

Host:

I've gone through, you know, a merger, took on partners, had to deal with having new partners.

Host:

That was the challenge.

Host:

And.

Host:

And now I'm going through an exit.

Host:

And so my identity, right, gets trapped up in all of our identities, right, we get trapped up in those things, and then we get stuck when our kids grow out of the house or we lose a marriage or, um.

Host:

Or we.

Host:

You know, the mandala of our business has been swept into beautifully, into the.

Host:

Into the.

Host:

Into the river, hopefully, in exchange for a little bit of prosperity.

Host:

But.

Host:

But it's still hard, right?

Host:

Yes.

Host:

Until.

Host:

Until intel in walks Liz with rapid transformation therapy.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Liz Svatek:

And I also think this requires.

Liz Svatek:

And you're so astute, because this is exactly what it is.

Liz Svatek:

It is identity evolution.

Liz Svatek:

And I teach neuro.

Liz Svatek:

Identity evolution.

Liz Svatek:

You can't out think yourself, right?

Liz Svatek:

Like, we've all tried this.

Liz Svatek:

Let me think my way out of the problem.

Liz Svatek:

Let me.

Liz Svatek:

Let me just ask any.

Liz Svatek:

Let me ask by committee, let me ask everyone what they think, right?

Liz Svatek:

That does not build our self trust, right.

Liz Svatek:

What builds your self trust is when you can actually evolve yourself, coach yourself.

Liz Svatek:

That's what I teach women to do.

Liz Svatek:

I teach you how to coach yourself.

Liz Svatek:

I give you the tools.

Liz Svatek:

I show you how to evolve that identity so that instead of, like, being trapped by your past or all this crazy thinking that you have that's just drowning you, I teach you how to free yourself up so that when you start making the decisions and choices, they're coming from a place that's such a higher perspective that you're literally calling yourself into your future.

Liz Svatek:

And I think that's what women really need right now.

Liz Svatek:

Women do not need five years of therapy.

Liz Svatek:

Women do not need someone telling them what to do.

Liz Svatek:

Women need to know what, like, how do I access really, inside of me what I want?

Liz Svatek:

How do I get into that, such deep self trust that I know, like, I know, like, I know my next move, right?

Liz Svatek:

And so I teach women how to do that, because I think I don't want someone telling me what to do.

Liz Svatek:

I'm a little rebel over here.

Liz Svatek:

Don't tell me what to do.

Liz Svatek:

In fact, tell me no and see what happens.

Liz Svatek:

I'm going to do it anyway, right?

Liz Svatek:

So I feel like this is what women need.

Liz Svatek:

This is the new evolution of women.

Liz Svatek:

We need to be able to kind of rewire some of that thinking, right?

Liz Svatek:

We can't just out think this.

Liz Svatek:

We got to rewire the thinking so we can evolve.

Host:

I love it.

Host:

So how does this work?

Host:

How does this work?

Host:

I mean, like, I mean, is there.

Host:

Is there some tools or some offerings around on something I could do, for example, to feel.

Host:

To feel really excited and empowered about my next stage of life?

Host:

Like, is there a couple things that you could tell me to do?

Liz Svatek:

Yeah.

Liz Svatek:

I mean, first of all, meditation is huge.

Liz Svatek:

And listen, before everybody starts rolling their eyes and saying, like, oh, that's, wow, Liz, what a new idea.

Liz Svatek:

Before everyone starts to say, I don't have time to do that, I'm gonna roll my eyes because I don't want to do it.

Liz Svatek:

Meditation is not what people think.

Liz Svatek:

If you are not feeling completely transformed and elevated by meditation, then you're doing it wrong.

Liz Svatek:

Yeah, that's just facts.

Liz Svatek:

I used to try to make it like a checklist.

Liz Svatek:

I'm gonna give my little five minutes.

Liz Svatek:

I did my little ten minutes of meditation.

Liz Svatek:

Checkity check, right?

Liz Svatek:

We all know, oh, let me make my gratitude checklist.

Liz Svatek:

Checkity check.

Liz Svatek:

I did it, right.

Liz Svatek:

Whenever we do things like a checklist, it doesn't work.

Liz Svatek:

It doesn't.

Liz Svatek:

It's.

Liz Svatek:

Right.

Liz Svatek:

It's does.

Host:

Especially for women.

Host:

Especially.

Host:

We have to be embodied, right?

Host:

We have to be embodied.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Liz Svatek:

So I teach meditation very differently, and I tell women, if you really.

Liz Svatek:

If you do the meditation the way I call you into it, meditation is actually a vacation from yourself because you're over here in your current reality, right?

Liz Svatek:

You're over here going, I have this problem, and I don't know.

Liz Svatek:

I don't know what to do and where am I going?

Liz Svatek:

And when you meditate in a deep way, when you have a guided meditation that can really take you somewhere, right, then you're not you anymore.

Liz Svatek:

Kind of like you're in the unknown.

Liz Svatek:

You're dancing in the unknown.

Liz Svatek:

You're getting these divine downloads.

Liz Svatek:

You're having thoughts, you're thinking about the future.

Liz Svatek:

You're nothing focused on your problems.

Liz Svatek:

Right.

Liz Svatek:

So meditation is one of the tools, definitely, that I use for women.

Host:

It sounds like guided meditation in particular.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Liz Svatek:

I used to be a fan.

Liz Svatek:

And listen, I do also like just sitting quietly and just seeing what comes.

Liz Svatek:

I like that.

Liz Svatek:

But I feel like especially in the beginning, there's too many ruminating thoughts in there.

Liz Svatek:

It just, it's too much.

Liz Svatek:

Right.

Liz Svatek:

So you almost somebody to say, I'm gonna walk you through this so you don't have yourself talk.

Liz Svatek:

Right.

Liz Svatek:

So I think in the beginning you need that guided meditation.

Liz Svatek:

You can absolutely work up to sitting very quietly, being Deepak Chopra, and 2 hours later you're just in the yard.

Liz Svatek:

Absolutely.

Liz Svatek:

But in the beginning, I think we need that guide.

Host:

And you also.

Host:

I'm just like sort of flash forwarding a little bit.

Host:

You also have a walking meditation.

Liz Svatek:

I do.

Liz Svatek:

Because I know you're going to walk anyway, Coco.

Host:

Yeah.

Liz Svatek:

This is how I'm pulling women in.

Liz Svatek:

I'm like, you don't like meditation and you say you don't have time for it, but guess what?

Liz Svatek:

You're going to walk anyway.

Liz Svatek:

So you're just going to take the walking meditation with you.

Liz Svatek:

And I literally did it as a walking transformation meditation.

Liz Svatek:

So it's not just like you're walking and you're hearing something.

Liz Svatek:

I literally have a little system I use where you actually work through whatever is kind of going on with you and it takes you out of yourself.

Liz Svatek:

So you're going to walk anyway and you're going to give yourself a little transformation while you walk.

Host:

I love it.

Host:

I love it.

Host:

I do believe that you and I, we're just getting to know each other.

Host:

We figured out that we both know each other, maybe through entrepreneurs.

Host:

And I love how these connections come forward.

Host:

But you don't know.

Host:

One of my previous businesses was called the Trust Leadership Institute.

Host:

So I developed a whole toolkit around self trust using guided meditation.

Host:

So this is all so, so, so on.

Host:

And where I've always, my niche has always been business, but really, it's a reflection for me of self trust.

Host:

It's a reflection of what is my higher self, you know, asking me, inviting me to do, how do I find a deeper connection to that and where does it guide me to go?

Host:

And so I'm just, I'm loving this.

Host:

And I believe you.

Host:

And I'm not just saying I believe you.

Host:

I actually did.

Liz Svatek:

You know, it works.

Host:

I know that it works.

Host:

And I, I do think this is the, this is the, when we.

Host:

I believe that the reason why the show is called the wisdom of women is because I do believe that when you impart your, bring forth your wisdom into everything you do, in particular, in business, it not only makes your life better, but it transforms your culture, your team, and it elevates society as a result.

Host:

Because here you are, you create a little microcosm, and if you create a microcosm that's guided by wisdom, and you invoke for others to create wisdom and share wisdom in the world and be their best and feel safe to be their best, that means, and I've had this happen where employees then come back and say, I tried that exercise with, how do I support you when somebody's upset?

Host:

Which is a really simple transformational tool where we accept people as they're making mistakes.

Host:

And I tried that with my husband, and it changes the way we see the world.

Host:

So you can, as a founder, when you use tools like this, not only will you find it for yourself, but it will, like, spread, like wire wildfire into your companies and your business grow.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Liz Svatek:

I mean, it's the ripple effect.

Liz Svatek:

Yeah, I talk about this all the time, because women.

Liz Svatek:

Women are not just like, oh, let me improve myself, and I'm good.

Liz Svatek:

No, women are like, let me improve myself and take everyone I know with me.

Liz Svatek:

Let me take my husband, I'm gonna take my kids with me.

Liz Svatek:

That's why I love to work with women and heal women, because once they are healing and they're doing the work of them, and they're in this wisdom perspective, which is so amazing, because I have a vip mastermind group called the Wise Women Collective, where that is literally the whole thing.

Liz Svatek:

I put women in a room together who have already gone through kind of, you know, my program and know all the tools and know all the things they've done, rapid transformational therapy.

Liz Svatek:

And then they go into this little circle and share their wisdom.

Liz Svatek:

And we were just meeting last night on a zoom.

Liz Svatek:

These women, the things that come out of their mouths, they're so wise.

Liz Svatek:

They have so much to share.

Liz Svatek:

And when they.

Liz Svatek:

When they hear themselves seen and heard and validated by another woman who's been on that journey.

Liz Svatek:

Right.

Liz Svatek:

Like, I have been where you are.

Liz Svatek:

I know where you are.

Liz Svatek:

I see you.

Liz Svatek:

There is something powerful about that.

Liz Svatek:

Sharing the wisdom in a trusted circle, a safe space where you can really, truly go very deep and talk about what you want to talk about.

Host:

I couldn't agree more.

Host:

And there's that.

Host:

It's sort of like when you're in your life, I equated in business, where you go to all these networking events that are mostly men, especially if you're a successful business leader, then you go into these, you know, memberships where you have only those who have made a million dollars or more, blah, blah, blah.

Host:

And you go in and it's almost all men, and it's.

Host:

And it's fine, and it's good, and you can get a lot of value from it, but it always feels like it doesn't quite fit.

Host:

And then, like, the reason I always feel like it's so important for women to.

Host:

To come together is because when we do and we start to hear each other, we start to understand, remember ourselves.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Host:

Like, oh, my gosh.

Host:

That is what the sound of a wise woman sounds like.

Liz Svatek:

Yeah.

Liz Svatek:

We're a mirror for each other, right?

Liz Svatek:

Like, you and I on this podcast now.

Liz Svatek:

Oh, my gosh.

Liz Svatek:

That was my book, too.

Liz Svatek:

I mean, that was so fun for me to know that you think of us in our little apartments, reading the same book in our twenties, like, right.

Liz Svatek:

What a connection.

Liz Svatek:

And I think that's what women want.

Liz Svatek:

They want connection.

Liz Svatek:

They want community.

Liz Svatek:

They want that deep conversation.

Liz Svatek:

We do not.

Liz Svatek:

We do.

Liz Svatek:

We're done with how's the weather?

Liz Svatek:

We're done.

Liz Svatek:

You hit 40 and some, I don't know, the filter goes away, and you're like, I got to talk to some people and talk about real things.

Liz Svatek:

I cannot be having these surface y things.

Liz Svatek:

And I feel like those networking events, they.

Liz Svatek:

They're very surfacey.

Liz Svatek:

They're very bro marketing.

Liz Svatek:

You know, you're in there shaking the hand.

Liz Svatek:

What do you do?

Liz Svatek:

And women don't.

Host:

This is how many leads I close and how many, you know, this is my blah, blah, blah, blah.

Liz Svatek:

You know, women don't care about that.

Liz Svatek:

Women are like, I want to know what you do for business, but I also want to know you.

Liz Svatek:

I want to know you.

Host:

Yeah, exactly.

Host:

I want to know what makes your heart happy.

Host:

I know.

Host:

I want to know what, you know, lights you up and, you know, brings you joy.

Host:

And I want to know how I can help and serve you, too.

Host:

Right?

Host:

Like, that's the other thing.

Host:

We are designed to help each other.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Host:

So tell us more about.

Host:

Let's see you.

Host:

Have you talked a little about the soul?

Host:

We talked a little bit about your transformational therapy.

Host:

Have we talked about Soul blazer?

Host:

Do you want to talk to us about what?

Host:

So, what it means to be a soul blazer?

Liz Svatek:

Yeah, I just taught a little class on this.

Liz Svatek:

I periodically just will give a free class just because I'm always inviting new women in, and I want people to see kind of new technology and things I'm using because I'm always out there.

Liz Svatek:

How do I transform.

Liz Svatek:

How do I bring the result faster?

Liz Svatek:

How do I transform women sooner so they can start working on their legacy?

Liz Svatek:

That's literally what I'm.

Liz Svatek:

I'm out there all the time trying all the things, looking at things, deciding what I'm going to bring in.

Liz Svatek:

And one thing that I really started noticing was, you know, women really don't know about rapid transformational therapy.

Liz Svatek:

So I did this little soul blazer class and I talked about, what has it been to be kind of a trailblazing woman, right?

Liz Svatek:

A pioneer, a woman who's out there wanting to do it different.

Liz Svatek:

She's the one in her family.

Liz Svatek:

She's the one in her business.

Liz Svatek:

She's making the changes.

Liz Svatek:

She's the ripple effect.

Liz Svatek:

That's her.

Liz Svatek:

And what does it really take to lead from your soul, to have, like you said, soul success?

Liz Svatek:

We are no longer interested in being successful if it's killing us.

Liz Svatek:

We don't want to be successful and pay a price of our health.

Liz Svatek:

No time with our families, having this, you know, ruminating thoughts up in the morning.

Liz Svatek:

Oh, my God.

Liz Svatek:

Let me check this email.

Liz Svatek:

Oh, my God.

Liz Svatek:

The client, like, the stress of it all.

Liz Svatek:

We do not.

Liz Svatek:

That is not success.

Liz Svatek:

Women will be like, I will get paid less if I can have more peace.

Liz Svatek:

But you don't even have to get paid less.

Liz Svatek:

I want to show you how you can make more money.

Liz Svatek:

Be more free, right?

Liz Svatek:

I'm making more money than I've ever made in my life, and I'm working less.

Liz Svatek:

There's a way to do that, right?

Liz Svatek:

And tapping into that, to that kind of quantum success, that kind of soul led success.

Liz Svatek:

So I did this whole class on it, and I was teaching them about self regulation and having a flexible nervous system.

Liz Svatek:

And I showed them a little bit of RTT, and you should have seen that chat.

Liz Svatek:

It was like, they were just so excited.

Liz Svatek:

So.

Liz Svatek:

And I love that because women.

Liz Svatek:

Women are so smart.

Liz Svatek:

You give them one tool, one perspective shift, and they never forget it.

Liz Svatek:

And I gave them a perspective shift, and they all.

Liz Svatek:

I got so many emails back, like that one sentence, that one sentence that changed my life.

Host:

That's wonderful.

Host:

And so what would be an example of, like, a perspective shift that we could integrate into our.

Host:

Into our day?

Liz Svatek:

Do you want to know the one I shared in soul blazer that blew up?

Host:

Yes.

Liz Svatek:

Okay, so I have an 18 year old son named Landon.

Liz Svatek:

And he was born in.

Liz Svatek:

I mean, when I tell you he came in in a blaze of glory.

Liz Svatek:

That's how he came into the world.

Liz Svatek:

He was an emergency c section he almost died.

Liz Svatek:

He had a stroke.

Liz Svatek:

He was supposed to be brain damaged.

Liz Svatek:

He had damage to his right arm.

Liz Svatek:

The.

Liz Svatek:

I guess his umbilical cord got caught around his neck, like, three or four times, and he had put his arm up through it, got his arms stuck, so it created a series of blood clots.

Liz Svatek:

So this kid has been through it, right?

Liz Svatek:

He's had over 60 surgeries.

Liz Svatek:

He has ADHD.

Liz Svatek:

He's not brain damaged, praise the Lord.

Liz Svatek:

But he has been through a lot.

Liz Svatek:

He's been to three different high schools.

Liz Svatek:

He's an out of the box learner.

Liz Svatek:

He's very smart, but he doesn't learn like everybody.

Liz Svatek:

So we've been through a lot with this kid, and for a long time, I found myself in an emotional addiction to worry.

Liz Svatek:

And you can be in an emotional addiction like a regular addiction, like any other addiction, because anything you continue to do that has adverse effects is an addiction.

Liz Svatek:

If you're doing something, you don't want to do it, and you keep doing it, even though it has adverse effects, that is an addiction.

Liz Svatek:

So I was addicted to worry.

Liz Svatek:

I didn't want to worry Coco.

Liz Svatek:

I was like, can I stop this crazy train?

Liz Svatek:

How do I get off this?

Liz Svatek:

Right?

Liz Svatek:

But I would find myself in this worry spiral.

Liz Svatek:

It would keep me up at night.

Liz Svatek:

It would wake me up in the morning.

Liz Svatek:

And the worry was, what's going to happen to this kid?

Liz Svatek:

What's going to happen to this kid?

Liz Svatek:

Like, is he going to be okay in the world?

Liz Svatek:

Is someone going to make fun?

Liz Svatek:

His arm looks like a really bad burn.

Liz Svatek:

It's shorter than the other arm.

Liz Svatek:

Who's going to make fun of him today?

Liz Svatek:

What's his self esteem going to be?

Liz Svatek:

Will he find a nice woman or partner who appreciates him?

Liz Svatek:

All the things?

Liz Svatek:

One day I said, I need to shift this.

Liz Svatek:

I need to shift this.

Liz Svatek:

And I.

Liz Svatek:

All of a sudden, it came to me that Landon is on his own divine journey.

Liz Svatek:

He's on his own divine journey.

Liz Svatek:

This kid is meant for more.

Liz Svatek:

He did not come here just to play around.

Liz Svatek:

You don't survive something like that and just become like any other person.

Liz Svatek:

Right?

Liz Svatek:

So that feeling of, Landon's on his own divine journey.

Liz Svatek:

He's guided and supported and loved in this world.

Liz Svatek:

When I told women that they lost their minds, they were like, oh, my God, this helps me reframe my sister, my aunt, my mother.

Liz Svatek:

Even when you don't like that journey, even when that journey looks horrible to you, right?

Liz Svatek:

That person is still on a path.

Liz Svatek:

They are doing their spiritual growth homework.

Liz Svatek:

They are evolving you may not like the pace of it, you may not like what it looks like, but they are on a divine journey.

Liz Svatek:

And the minute I embraced that and listen, I had to practice at Coco, it wasn't like I just said it.

Liz Svatek:

I had to live it.

Liz Svatek:

I had to embody it.

Liz Svatek:

I had to think about it, I had to write about it, I had to meditate on it.

Liz Svatek:

But now I believe it.

Liz Svatek:

And now.

Liz Svatek:

And when I started to embrace that, it changed everything.

Liz Svatek:

He came in the house, and I'm looking at him so differently, right?

Liz Svatek:

I'm so much lighter and brighter with him, and he became lighter and brighter.

Host:

He became.

Host:

It transforms what your situations are, right?

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Liz Svatek:

That's why it's so important for us to do the work of us, right?

Liz Svatek:

Because it will affect your kids, coworkers, husband, partner, whatever, right?

Liz Svatek:

It'll affect everyone.

Liz Svatek:

But that divine journey idea, whoo.

Liz Svatek:

That.

Liz Svatek:

That did it for me.

Host:

Right?

Host:

And we all have those places that we're where we worry, where we're stuck, where we just think whatever it is can't be that it has to be different than it is.

Host:

But guess what?

Host:

It is.

Host:

What it is.

Host:

Liz, you probably don't know this about me.

Host:

I have a stepdaughter, Amelia, who was born at 27 weeks, and she has very severe cerebral palsy as a result.

Host:

And so alume, my healthcare company that I founded, was in her service.

Host:

It provides around the clock medical care to medically fragile kids and adults.

Host:

And so I:

Host:

And it's been a journey with my husband, too, because I'm not the biological mother.

Host:

I didn't go through what you went through or Amelia's mom went through in that moment of birth and the incredible trauma that it is.

Host:

And yet I've always been able to see Amelia as she is nonverbal, requires complete, around the clock hair as having a incredibly clear sole purpose, like her presence and her ability to spread joy just by her smile is so clear.

Host:

It's so clear to me that she doesn't need to be different than she is.

Host:

Right?

Host:

Of course.

Host:

We want everything to unravel to, you know, I wouldn't, like, keep her from growing or keep her from progressing in any way that was possible for her.

Host:

But she's perfect just the way she is, you know?

Host:

And that's something we've taught into.

Host:

This is, again, like, what you learn from an experience with Liz is something you can then take into your business, into your life and all these places.

Host:

So at illume, we had a whole exercise where we looked at everybody's needs.

Host:

And when you're thinking about the needs of a person who is non ambulatory, nonverbal.

Host:

And it's really easy to sort of see what their basic needs are, but what are their needs for their needs for purpose and legacy and actualization and transcendence, because, right.

Host:

And how can we give that to them?

Host:

Right?

Liz Svatek:

Look at it as a divine journey.

Liz Svatek:

And I'm not here to change this.

Liz Svatek:

I'm here to be in service of this divine journey.

Liz Svatek:

Like, what.

Liz Svatek:

What can make this right?

Liz Svatek:

And how do I make it more divine?

Liz Svatek:

How do I see it like that?

Liz Svatek:

And how do I make it more divine for him, for her?

Liz Svatek:

Right.

Liz Svatek:

Because it is their own journey, right?

Liz Svatek:

And some of this is they have to discover things, and they have to write like they're in that body, they're living that journey, right.

Liz Svatek:

But sometimes I feel like it's us that are the ones that are tortured, right?

Liz Svatek:

Like, he actually going around with that arm when he.

Liz Svatek:

When he's a righty, by the way.

Liz Svatek:

So his whole life, he's been spent, you know, shaking, doing everything with your left hand as a righty.

Liz Svatek:

So you just imagine that, right?

Liz Svatek:

He puts that right arm out there and shakes people's hands, and they're shaking this little kind of, like, smaller hand that's all scarred up.

Liz Svatek:

And I'm thinking, every time he shakes someone's hand, he's changing somebody's life.

Host:

Yes.

Liz Svatek:

Right?

Liz Svatek:

And the same.

Liz Svatek:

Every time she smiles at somebody, she is changing someone's life.

Liz Svatek:

Because whatever pity or sadness or whatever you think you're going to give this person, you're so wrong.

Liz Svatek:

You're so wrong.

Liz Svatek:

You're so blessed to be in the presence of the divine.

Liz Svatek:

I mean, that just, like, chokes me up.

Host:

It's so beautiful.

Host:

It is.

Host:

And it's exactly.

Host:

It's what we're all seeking.

Host:

And there it is.

Host:

Right?

Liz Svatek:

Thank you for sharing that with me.

Liz Svatek:

Oh, my goodness.

Host:

And you're sure?

Host:

And your son, too?

Host:

I mean, Landon.

Liz Svatek:

Yeah.

Host:

Yeah.

Host:

Wonderful.

Liz Svatek:

Okay, so now that we've.

Host:

Where are we?

Liz Svatek:

My God.

Host:

So tell us now for our women founders out there, who.

Host:

So let's just send them away with one final word of wisdom around what they can do to support their own journey, their own heart, their own feeling of okayness with their lives and themselves and the people in it.

Liz Svatek:

Yeah.

Liz Svatek:

I mean, I would say this, you know, we make everything mean something, right?

Liz Svatek:

Like, we're just meaning makers.

Liz Svatek:

Like, I run into you at the grocery store, you look away.

Liz Svatek:

I'm like, why is she such a bitch.

Liz Svatek:

Why is she ignoring.

Liz Svatek:

Meanwhile, you don't have your glasses.

Liz Svatek:

You can't see.

Liz Svatek:

You didn't even know I was there, right?

Liz Svatek:

We make stories up all the time.

Liz Svatek:

We make stories up.

Liz Svatek:

We make meaning of things.

Liz Svatek:

Everything is inherently meaningless if you embrace the absolute meaningless of life, right?

Liz Svatek:

Meaninglessness of life, right?

Liz Svatek:

That is a.

Liz Svatek:

That detachment from that meaning, the detachment from an outcome, because that is what ruminates us.

Liz Svatek:

That is what sends us down the crazy highway, right?

Liz Svatek:

That leads to the crazy mind loop.

Liz Svatek:

When you can detach from that, you can just be a little curious, right?

Liz Svatek:

So I will say this.

Liz Svatek:

Start saying, isn't it interesting?

Liz Svatek:

Isn't it?

Liz Svatek:

Isn't it interesting?

Liz Svatek:

I just went to the grocery store and made up a whole story about Coco.

Liz Svatek:

Isn't that interesting that I'm making up a story?

Liz Svatek:

Ask yourself, what discount from the judgment, right?

Liz Svatek:

Of, like, why am I thinking this?

Liz Svatek:

I don't know what I'm doing, blah, blah, blah.

Liz Svatek:

Instead, ask yourself, isn't it interesting?

Liz Svatek:

Isn't it interesting that I'm super pissed at my husband and he doesn't even know why?

Liz Svatek:

I'm just expecting him to read my mind.

Liz Svatek:

Isn't it interesting that I say I want to move forward in my legacy, and yet I'm not doing one diddly do thing about it, right?

Liz Svatek:

Like, it's.

Liz Svatek:

Isn't it interesting just releasing the judgment and getting curious about what you're doing.

Liz Svatek:

It's going to bring a little self awareness to you.

Host:

I love that.

Host:

Isn't it interesting?

Host:

I'm going to use that today.

Host:

What is your legacy about?

Host:

What do you think about when you think about your personal journey in legacy?

Liz Svatek:

Yeah.

Liz Svatek:

I mean, you know, I.

Liz Svatek:

I think in the past, I thought legacy was like, well, what's my estate planning?

Liz Svatek:

How much money am I gonna have?

Liz Svatek:

You know, that's what I thought legacy was.

Liz Svatek:

I did not really understand legacy until I moved into my legacy.

Liz Svatek:

My legacy is I want to heal 1 million women.

Liz Svatek:

I want to fill a stadium.

Liz Svatek:

I want to be the Taylor swift of midlife.

Liz Svatek:

I want to fill a stadium.

Liz Svatek:

And I want you to have that same feeling you feel at a Taylor swift concept of concert.

Liz Svatek:

I want you to bring your mother, your aunt, your niece, your everyone, your sister.

Liz Svatek:

I want to gather women together, and I want to heal us in a giant format.

Liz Svatek:

I want to do RTT and bring all those tools, easy little tools and perspective shifts, travel across the country and heal millions of women and create women that heal other people.

Liz Svatek:

So that's my legacy.

Liz Svatek:

I teach these beautiful classes, but not everybody can take my classes because I'm not target.

Liz Svatek:

I'm a little bit more like a Neiman Marcus.

Liz Svatek:

So my classes are very.

Liz Svatek:

Because they're a lot of support and a lot of, you know, people, I spend a lot of time with these ladies.

Liz Svatek:

But for the people that can't do the classes, can't be in my vip mastermind.

Liz Svatek:

I want to give them something, and I want.

Liz Svatek:

I'm going to write a book next year.

Liz Svatek:

I'm going to do a TED talk next year.

Liz Svatek:

And I really want to start reaching into more women.

Liz Svatek:

I want to get into more communities.

Liz Svatek:

I want to get out there, and I want to show women that you don't have to take five years of therapy.

Liz Svatek:

You can transform yourself rapidly.

Liz Svatek:

It can happen fast.

Liz Svatek:

So that you can move into your legacy.

Host:

I love it.

Host:

I'm in.

Host:

I want to try this rapid transformation therapy with you.

Host:

I think that sounds super awesome.

Host:

If somebody wants to do that.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Host:

How do they get in touch with me?

Liz Svatek:

I can give you the link for that.

Liz Svatek:

It's called the 30 day transformation.

Liz Svatek:

That's what I call it where you do a session.

Liz Svatek:

I give you this curated recording, which is like a hypnotic, not a recording to kind of wire it in.

Liz Svatek:

And then we meet to have a little coaching session, one on one.

Liz Svatek:

So it's a complete little 30 day transformation.

Liz Svatek:

It is a life changer.

Liz Svatek:

So I can give you that link.

Liz Svatek:

So if people want to come and do that, or if you want to kind of talk about it and say, like, is this.

Liz Svatek:

Do you think this would be good?

Liz Svatek:

What do you think would be good?

Liz Svatek:

We can talk about it.

Host:

Awesome.

Host:

That sounds great.

Host:

And I know that you also have an empowered woman playbook.

Liz Svatek:

I do.

Host:

And what is that?

Host:

And that's.

Host:

That's a.

Host:

That's a freebie.

Liz Svatek:

That's a.

Liz Svatek:

Let me tell, that's.

Liz Svatek:

This is a hell of a freebie.

Liz Svatek:

Everyone's like, why are you not charging for this?

Liz Svatek:

I'm like, because, again, I want women to have it.

Liz Svatek:

So I created a playbook, basically, how to survive your forties and fifties and sixties.

Liz Svatek:

I created this because I wanted it, Coco.

Liz Svatek:

I was like, where's my playbook?

Liz Svatek:

Where's my rulebook for this age of life?

Liz Svatek:

Nobody.

Liz Svatek:

My mother never told me anything about menopause or changes and transitions after 40.

Liz Svatek:

She never.

Liz Svatek:

We never talked about it.

Liz Svatek:

Yeah, nobody was talking about it.

Liz Svatek:

So I created this playbook.

Liz Svatek:

It's a six episode private podcast with a very juicy workbook, and it'll just kind of give you a good little step into the work of, like, this age group and, like, what we're really facing.

Liz Svatek:

It's funny, it's fun because I do everything.

Liz Svatek:

Humor and healing, that's what I do.

Liz Svatek:

It's funny, it's fun, but also it's deep work.

Liz Svatek:

So you'll love it.

Host:

I think that sounds great.

Host:

So down in the description below, you're going to be able to find a link to the empowered women playbook.

Host:

You can also go to the website Lizzak, lizsvatek.com, and you'll see right there on the homepage is a free walking meditation.

Host:

And we talked a little bit about walking meditation earlier and so you can get that, too.

Host:

And that's another freebie.

Liz Svatek:

Yes.

Host:

So much generosity, so much wisdom.

Host:

Liz, we're so grateful.

Host:

Thank you very, very, very much.

Host:

My heart feels open and ready to receive more goodness from the universe, and I can't wait to get to meet up with you.

Host:

And we can compare notes on Ayanla and, you know, we can share about our kids, right.

Host:

And what they're teaching us.

Host:

And, you know, my husband, he actually had a, he was journaling on Amelia, and he came back to me one day and he had the insight that Amelia has a higher power and I'm not it.

Liz Svatek:

Ooh, talk about detaching from an outcome.

Liz Svatek:

Right, right.

Liz Svatek:

Staying in the curiosity and wonder and not getting into the outcome and trying to control.

Liz Svatek:

Right.
