Episode 6 - Even the Black Sheep Belongs to Herself

In this episode of The Place of Permission, Liz explores the quiet but powerful shift from seeking belonging outside of herself to reclaiming it within. Through personal storytelling, she reflects on how early experiences of rupture shaped patterns of hypervigilance, overgiving, and the belief that love and safety had to be earned.Drawing from her work with the Gene Keys, nervous system awareness, and embodied practice, Liz unpacks how loyalty rooted in fear can disconnect us from our true nature, and how overextending ourselves can create a false sense of safety rather than genuine belonging.This episode weaves together experiences of friendship, women’s spaces, sexuality, and self-trust to illuminate what it means to stop proving, stop performing, and begin belonging to oneself. At its core, this is a conversation about unlearning the need to be chosen and remembering that even the parts of us that felt like outsiders were never actually outside.Thank you for spending this time with me, friend.
