Inspired Alchemy with Lizzie
Healing is not linear and because of this, healing and growth can feel very messy. Taking inspired messy action is how we create alchemy in our lives. Inspired Alchemy seeks to show the perfectly imperfect side of healing and how you can find your light in the darkness. Healing can be beautiful, and you can also feel grief simultaneously while you dance in the shadows searching for the light within. Inspired Alchemy is about finding the pieces of you hiding behind doors you are scared to open. You have the key to open the door; are you brave enough to see what is waiting for you behind these doors?
I hope by sharing my story and my thoughts, it will help others on their journey.
I hope you and your shadows can find sanctuary here with me at Inspired Alchemy, while you unbecome everything you aren't to become whole in who you really are.

Episode 25 The Dark Side of the Shadow
EP 25 – The Dark Side of the Shadow: When Healing Feels Heavy
In this episode, I get honest about the part of shadow work no one talks about but also tried to glamorize—the dark side of the shadow. The part where you’re finally aligned, holding your boundaries, loving yourself deeper than ever, but old wounds flare up. Where you start to uncover all the ways you felt too much or not enough as a kid, a teen, or even last year. And even though you’re moving with integrity and wholeness, there’s a haunting pull to shrink, to dim, to keep yourself safe.
This is me, raw and in the trenches, sharing the unpolished reality of what it’s like to battle the thoughts that say: stop shining, play small, don’t scare them away. Because healing isn’t a trend. It’s a relentless choice. And sometimes it’s messy, uncomfortable, and far from easy—but it’s real.
While it is uncomfortable and messy, it is also magical and beautiful if you choose to see it. If you choose to look at yourself in each and every mirror. If you choose uncomfortable truths over comfortable lies each time.
I know this isn't easy. Alchemy isn't easy. It is however, amazing and freeing.
Thank you as always for your support.
Keep creating alchemy.
Inspired Perpetual Alchemy Always.
Until next time, thank you for sharing your time with me.
