As Liz so clearly put in last week's chat that we all have a need to be witnessed for who we are, and the only way to really do that is to open ourselves up to being vulnerable. There can be such intense fear around opening ourselves up to being hurt, as the dictionary puts it, so how do we face this and overcome it? What's on the other side of being exposed? Dave offers himself up as an embodiment of vulnerability in this episode, and Liz shares about doing therapy as a teenager at Taco Bell and guides us to find humor in ourselves.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

Did you feel satisfied with our conversation last week? Did we leave you wanting more? We felt there was much more to explore, so we both wanted AND needed to continue it. This time around, we explore applying wants and needs within relationships. Who in your life leaves you wanting more? Who can you be just fine without? We explore these questions and much more in Part 2.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

You may need to listen to this episode (or maybe you just want to) to help you determine what your wants and needs are!Depending on how you were raised and during which generation, you may not fully be in touch with your needs beyond those for basic survival - food, shelter, water, clothing. In this episode, we work through Maslow's hierarchy of needs to start to go to the "next level" of wants and needs.If you are not fighting for your survival, then you are afforded the right to think about what you want to build in your life. In order to build what you want, you will need to assess what you need to get there. The only true determination we came to after-recording was that we needed a follow-up episode to keep discussing... so hang out for more development of our wants and needs next week!For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

Do you live from your head - or do you live from your heart? Finding a balance between these two energy centers can be a challenge - especially when your brain thinks it always knows best and your heart wants to be protected from hurt! Might we suggest bringing in a third energy to help you out? Give a listen to see “who” we think can help out with the head and heart conundrum.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

This episode drops just in time-ish for you to take full advantage of the last weeks of summer! But, what is time anyway? Is it just a made up construct to help us keep the trains from crashing into each other... or is it there to remind us to live more spiritually and fully? Recorded on 8-8-8, we dive into the concept of Time. In what Dave initially thought would be a "beyond" episode, Liz brings down to ground floor with her reflections on the struggles her clients have with time, including the pressure to live fully now while struggling with events from the past and anxieties about the future. As we bring time into greater focus, we explore the fullness of the present and wonder how we can free ourselves from the perceived grip that time has us in.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

Calling all the misfits, the ones who look at the world and have a natural curiosity to challenge the accepted norms and ask, "Why?" Those of us who have the courage to suggest "maybe there's a better way" are often shamed and labeled "Black Sheep" - whether in a family unit, culture, or subculture. In this episode we talk about what that term means, speak about our personal experiences cutting across the grain, and offer some human and soul perspectives on how to live a fulfilling, un-shamed life as a Black Sheep.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

This week we dive into the feedback we get from others in our lives, and question how we incorporate other people's opinions into our understanding of who we are. Liz and Dave both share their own personal struggles with this topic, and we examine how the judgments of others really reflect our own judgments of ourselves.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

It's wild to think you can do your job well and still feel like an impostor while doing it! Impostor Syndrome is a fascinating phenomenon where you cannot fully accept the accolades, skills, and talents you display, and are instead convinced that you are truly not that capable, and have everyone fooled!In this episode, we pick apart some potential origins for Impostor Syndrome and explore ways to break the cycle of projections and inaccurate comparisons so you can finally start to accept these wonderful qualities about yourself.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

In this episode, we discuss what it means to be energetically "protected." We cover our own journeys learning about protection, and (spoiler alert) reveal how the best protection just may be no protection at all.

* Trigger warning for food cleanses and food restrictions. If you have struggled with disordered eating this one may not be for you. For assistance, please reach out to the National Eating Disorder Association helpline for resources: (800) 931-2237 Can you really cleanse, detox, and reset your body with a food cleanse? Listen to us chat about food cleanses while we are in the middle of a cleanse ourselves! We toss out the idea of “cleansing” to instead explore our own experiences with temporarily simplifying our diets in order to regain a sense of self after being numbed out by the overconsumption in our society that spans past food and flavors.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman

Control can show up with acute intensity in specific situations or could be lurking around influencing your life in much more subtle ways. Is control a good thing to have in your life or is it actually the cause of your unhappiness and frustration? We sort out some core themes behind one's desire to be in control and of course, we need to throw in a few spiritual perspectives as well! Have a listen as we (attempt to) let go of control and let the conversation flow.For more information, visit https://www.inspiredbeingllc.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @InspiredBeingLLCMusic credit: Chris Bachman
