Meat & Monogamy
In this deeply moving conversation, Liv sits down with Arabella Oz, a longtime client, creative and filmmaker, to reflect on five years of working together through huge life, identity and creative shifts. They explore what changes when a woman stops living by shoulds and begins listening to desire, how long-term mentorship supports real transformation, and what it looks like to follow a soul-led creative path even when it asks everything of you. Arabella shares the arc from her early years of living in tension with herself, through reclaiming desire as an inner compass, to building a beautiful life, marrying her partner, leaving her therapy practice, making her first feature film, and seeing it premiere at her dream festival. This episode is about creative courage, devotion, pacing, self-trust, spiritual leadership, and the power of staying the course. In this episode, we explore: * what it means to move from conditioning into deeper self-trust * desire as an inner compass rather than a frivolous impulse * the difference between group work and one-to-one mentorship * why long-term support creates a different kind of transformation * the courage required to follow creative callings * the spiritual and emotional reality of making a film * becoming the woman who can hold bigger dreams Timestamps 00:00 Pre-conversation check-in and arriving together 04:31 Arabella shares the emotional context she is in personally 10:36 Setting intentions for the conversation 18:19 Official podcast introduction 19:57 Introducing Arabella and the five-year journey 23:16 How they first met and what Arabella was looking for 26:56 Who Arabella was when she first began the work 31:08 Desire as a new language and way of living 34:06 Rebuilding life through listening to the inner compass 37:11 Gentleness, permission and ending the war with yourself 41:16 The energetic and ceremonial dimensions of the work 46:22 “It would be delicious to live there” 48:02 Following desire into home, love and marriage 49:16 Leaving a therapy practice to make a film 55:58 What filmmaking asked of Arabella as a leader 58:40 Becoming the divinely led filmmaker 01:00:52 Creativity as a spiritual path 01:02:01 Returning to centre inside the film industry 01:03:53 Decision-making, self-trust and waiting for clarity 01:05:47 Confidence that is earned, not performed 01:07:52 Letting yourself be a beginner 01:08:52 Reuniting for one-to-one work after a break 01:11:51 Desire, ceremony and claiming the dream festival 01:15:42 The vulnerability of wanting something deeply 01:17:47 Group work vs one-to-one work 01:21:08 The power of long-term mentorship 01:24:30 What happens when someone knows your whole arc 01:26:00 Arabella’s message to women considering the work 01:27:27 Gentle transformation and immediate nourishment 01:28:36 Maller’s Ghost and its SXSW premiere 01:29:47 Liv reflects on seeing the finished film 01:32:54 Invitation to book a Deep Dive 01:33:56 Closing reflections on bringing creative work into the world Mentioned in this episode * Mallory's Ghost [https://www.instagram.com/mallorysghost/] by Arabella Oz currently premiering at SXSW Film Festival.
