54. Navigating Shitstorms with Liz Long

What do you do when you get caught in a shitstorm? According to today’s guest, when shit happens, the voice in your head that you choose to listen to - and believe – determines whether you’ll end up stuck in Victimtown or on your way to Freedomville.  Liz Long experienced a traumatic event as a child when a close family member went missing, and the crime was never solved. Despite such traumatic circumstances, she was determined to focus on healing and transformation, and she wrote the book, “Navigating Shitstorms” to help others do the same.  In this episode, Liz shares her heartbreaking story with Brenda, along with her powerful journey of healing.  Liz shares a practical framework that can help you to understand the voices in your head that can keep you stuck, and what you can do to amplify your heart voice and tap into your intrinsic courage, so you can find your way to freedom, joy and happiness.    About Liz Long: Liz Long spent over fifty years stuck in Victimtown.
