The Place of Permission

Episode 9 - Birth Asked Me To Surrender What My Lineage Kept Safe

In this episode of The Place of Permission, Liz Chandler shares an intimate exploration of how birth became a threshold that asked her to surrender not only to the process, but to the deeper layers of protection shaped across generations. Through her journey of fertility challenges, pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, Liz explores how the opening of life force in the body can bring both power and fear to the surface at the same time. As her daughter entered the world, so did the parts of her shaped by shame, control, and the need to stay safe. She speaks candidly about the intensity of birth, the emotional complexity of family dynamics, and the often-unspoken realities of early motherhood; including, intrusive thoughts, isolation, and the pressure to hold it all together. But alongside this unraveling, something else opened. As her body moved through birth and into postpartum, Liz experienced a deep reawakening of sensory awareness as an embodied connection to intuition and psychism that had once been natural to her in childhood, then disconnected, and now returned with intensity. This opening was not separate from the fear or the overwhelm, but intertwined with it, asking for deeper surrender and trust in self.  Rather than framing these experiences as something to overcome, Liz explores how they became an invitation to lay down inherited patterns of protection and meet herself and her intuitive knowing in a new way. This episode is a reflection on surrender as a powerful, embodied process of allowing what has been held for generations to finally move. Thank you for spending this time with me, friend.

Episode 7 - Confessions of a Very Good Girl

In this deeply personal episode of The Place of Permission, Liz shares the story of how the “very good girl” pattern formed in her life and what it has taken to unravel it.  Through memories of childhood rupture, silence, and emotional isolation, Liz reflects on how she learned early to read the emotional landscape of everyone around her while ignoring the signals of her own body. What began as a survival strategy slowly became a pattern of hypervigilance, over-giving, and shaping herself into what others needed in order to feel safe and loved. In this episode, she explores how those patterns show up in adulthood, the ways anger can become an ally rather than something to suppress, and how practices like Gene Keys, Human Design, rage release, BDSM, and others have helped her reconnect with her own inner authority. With honesty and compassion, Liz speaks about boundaries, authenticity, sexuality, family dynamics, and the courage it takes to stop outsourcing safety to others. At its heart, this conversation is about learning to trust the body again and discovering that real belonging begins when we stop abandoning ourselves.

Episode 6 - Even the Black Sheep Belongs to Herself

In this episode of The Place of Permission, Liz explores the quiet but powerful shift from seeking belonging outside of herself to reclaiming it within. Through personal storytelling, she reflects on how early experiences of rupture shaped patterns of hypervigilance, overgiving, and the belief that love and safety had to be earned. Drawing from her work with the Gene Keys, nervous system awareness, and embodied practice, Liz unpacks how loyalty rooted in fear can disconnect us from our true nature, and how overextending ourselves can create a false sense of safety rather than genuine belonging. This episode weaves together experiences of friendship, women’s spaces, sexuality, and self-trust to illuminate what it means to stop proving, stop performing, and begin belonging to oneself. At its core, this is a conversation about unlearning the need to be chosen and remembering that even the parts of us that felt like outsiders were never actually outside.

Episode 5 - Confronting the Doorway of Authority

In this episode of The Place of Permission, Liz invites listeners into the small town of Ashburn, Missouri. Here, Liz reflects on the moments when the structures that once defined safety and belonging begin to fracture, whether it be in a family unit, religion, or the inherited and socialized rules about who we are supposed to be. As these external authorities lose their certainty or prove fallable, what emerges can feel disorienting and lonely. This startling confrontation can become a threshold to larger expansion into Self. Through personal story and reflection, Liz explores how questioning authority can become a pathway to discovering inner authority, the steady sense of Self that develops when a person begins listening to their own body with curiosity and starts to integrate their lived experience. In a world that often teaches us our belonging must be given by others, this episode offers a different perspective: belonging begins when a person trusts themselves enough to remain present with all parts of who they are and claims their power, purpose, and place from the wisdom that life experience gifts them.  Thank you for spending this time with me, friend.
