episode Your Body Is Not the Enemy: Healing Chronic Illness Through the Mind-Body Connection with Dr. Erin cover

Description

What if your chronic illness isn't something to fight, but something to listen to? In this episode, Teresa sits down with Dr. Erin, a naturopath turned mind-body medicine practitioner and founder of the Sacred Illness community, to explore a radically different approach to healing chronic illness. Dr. Erin shares her own journey from people-pleasing naturopath to mind-body pioneer, and walks us through the exact framework she used to heal herself and hundreds of women. Together, Teresa and Dr. Erin explore: ⬩ Why chronic illness is often rooted in suppressed emotions, early trauma, and the nervous system, i.e., not genetics or diet alone ⬩ The Sacred Illness Blueprint: a step-by-step hero's journey through shadow work, somatic healing, vision work, and nervous system reprogramming ⬩ Why conventional medicine treats symptoms but often misses the root cause, and how to use both approaches without abandoning either ⬩ What it means to stop fighting your body and start having a conversation with it ⬩ Somatic tools for managing flare-ups in real time (including the simple two-finger technique that stopped a flare in its tracks) ⬩ Why the goal isn't symptom-free living, but rather a new, empowered relationship with your body ⬩ Dr. Erin's mission to train a global network of Sacred Illness practitioners to change the healthcare paradigm from the inside out This episode is for anyone living with chronic illness, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, or unexplained symptoms who feels failed by the conventional medical system and is ready to ask a different question. Keywords: chronic illness healing, mind body medicine, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, autoimmune disease, trauma and illness, sacred illness, naturopath, women's health, holistic health, chronic pain, shadow work, nervous system reprogramming, people pleasing and chronic illness, healing journey

Bet on Yourself Before You Feel Ready

Self-doubt isn't a feeling to push through. It's an addiction to break. In this season finale solo cast, Teresa records from her hotel in New York City while preparing for a summer trip to see her sister. She reflects on a year of illness, and gears up for a second surgery this fall. Out of all that comes a question she keeps returning to: what does it actually mean to bet on yourself? This episode is for every woman who has started the thing, is building the thing, and still catches herself looking over her shoulder. Teresa shares what she's learned from coaching hundreds of entrepreneurs, taking on her first outside investor, buying a farm, and navigating chronic illness, and why leveraging yourself is one of the most powerful confidence-building moves you can make. Topics covered: — What it means to truly leverage yourself and why it's different from just "committing to success" — Why confidence doesn't come from certainty; it comes from not giving up — The honest truth about betting on your own ideas (including the resentment nobody talks about) — What freedom actually means and why the answer is different for every woman — The 90-day challenge: how to treat self-doubt like the addiction it is — The voice memo practice Teresa uses to coach herself through doubt in real time — A season wrap and preview of what's coming in Season 3 This is the last episode before the summer hiatus. Love Lizzy will be back with something really beautiful. Until then, you have everything you need. Keywords: self-doubt, bet on yourself, women's empowerment, 90 day challenge, mindset, personal growth, freedom, entrepreneurship, confidence, women who lead, purpose driven life, Love Lizzy podcast.

The Drama Triangle, Male Friendship & Rescuer Fatigue

What happens when the strong one finally puts herself first? This week I sit with a woman from our community who has been carrying everyone else since she was a little girl. She is exhausted from having her boundaries crossed by the men in her life, feeling unseen in her family, and never once being asked what she needs. And she finally asks the question so many of us are afraid to ask out loud. Do I get to be the one who is taken care of? We explore the drama triangle and the rescuer role, go down memory lane to share the roadmap for what love and support from the men in your life should actually look like, and offer multiple things you can do in the moment to hear your own boundaries more clearly, shift the attention back onto your own needs without the guilt, and move through the world relying completely on your intuition.

Why Helping Women Helps Everyone: The Love, Lizzy Mission

You are not alone. When I was 19 years old I found myself alone and scared in a hospital in a strange city. One human made one of the hardest days of my life a little bit easier with four words: you are not alone. That particular serendipitous encounter was the first Love, Lizzy light bulb that turned on in my mind.  In this episode I am opening the door and inviting you into our little workshop. I am sharing the full origin story of this brand, the vision we are building toward, and why I believe that helping women does not just help women. It helps everyone. Share space with me as I tell the founding story of Love, Lizzy and why it started with a hospital visit at 19 that led to a merch shop, which leads to the companion hotline vision, and the Love Lizzy sacred houses. We explore (even though we think it is so obvious) why helping women is good for men, families, and entire communities, what it really looks like to build something meaningful from the bottom of the mountain, and a peek at what is coming next on the podcast. It takes $50 a night to house a woman at a safe house in Florida. You can donate to the safe house in Love, Lizzy's neighborhood if you feel called to make a donation to help women and girls.  https://www.micahsplace.org/
