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 40 Venom & Vision: The Snake, the Fire, and the Alchemy of Becoming
Venom doesn’t just kill — it awakens.
(Please don't go get bitten by a sake, this is a metaphor.)
In this episode, I explore the snake’s place in the alchemical process — its shedding, its growth, its cycles of death and rebirth — and how its energy moves through us when we choose to evolve. I share the story behind my own snake tattoo and what it means to allow that energy to fill every part of me, to integrate, to let it burn away the layers that no longer serve, and to rise renewed.
But growth isn’t always soft. Sometimes it demands honesty — with ourselves, our choices, and the excuses we make. I talk about the shadow side of “spiritual bypassing” and how tools like astrology, human design, and Enneagram can support us — but cannot define us. At some point, we have to stop hiding behind the maps and start walking the terrain.
This episode weaves together:
The Snake & Alchemy — why its venom, shedding, and rebirth mirror our own evolution
Gratitude as Fuel — honoring the teachers, lovers, lessons, and guides life sends us
The Fire of Transformation — why integration is more important than collecting more tools
Breaking Free from Spiritual Crutches — astrology, human design, and the power of choosing yourself
Inspired Perpetual Alchemy in Action — allowing yourself to burn, to rise, and to embody what you’ve learned
This is a transmission for anyone standing in the middle of their becoming — skin shedding, heart breaking, and fire burning — knowing deep down that something new is waiting on the other side.
In this episode, we explore:
The snake’s symbolic role in Inspired Perpetual Alchemy
Growth through shedding, integration, and rebirth
Gratitude for the people and lessons that shape us
The tension between tools and true transformation
Breaking through excuses, bypassing, and choosing embodiment
