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. ~Lizzie

    Episode 77 The Raw & Real Pivot

    Send us Fan MailThis episode is taking it back to my roots. This is recorded on my phone, partially. In a world that is polished and AI generated, this is me, in my imperfectness, showing up raw. Life has been lifing for me, just as it has for everyone around me. I still want to show up and if that means I need to pivot then that is what I do. This is life. It is not a polished and perfect social media feed. That shit isn't real. While it may look pretty, it also makes us feel alone in our struggles, and with the thought that we have no idea what we are doing while everyone we see does. None of us know what we are doing. We are just doing our best to exist in a world where systems have been built that don't serve us on any level of our human being and making the best out of it and making life as beautiful as we can. I will always do my best to stay as transparent and real as possible (while maintaining my privacy). I will show you the nitty gritty of life and how I am moving through it with the tools I have. Our emotions do not dictate who we are. Our past is not who we are. Its how we show up despite all of the things. It's how we use what we are shown and keep moving forward. It's resting when necessary and not waiting until we are forced into it. It is realizing patterns and not intellectualizing them to bypass them. We cannot bypass and ignore signs and symptoms, and hope things get better. We have to be responsible for our minds, bodies, souls and lives. In a society build for compliance, be a rebel. Be so you that and so free that the system fractures just a little bit. Be authentic. Be in integrity. Be Sovereign. Dance, play, write, create, get into nature, love fiercely, just live!Thank you for being here rebel souls. You are worthy. You are enough. I am proud of you. You are loved. Keep going alchemists. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With Love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 76 Alchemical Rambling

    Send us Fan MailSometimes the alchemy is hiding in what we call rambling. Most people don't understand that in the rambling are "ah-ha" moments. People will send me voice messages and then apologize for rambling, and I tell them not to. Some of the best gold is hidden in these seemingly meaningless conversations. I have so many great conversations that had so many codes and keys for myself and others and all we did was ramble and allow the conversation to lead where it would naturally go. In this episode I just take you through a few things I have been noticing as a theme within myself and others in terms or integration and what it feels like, parenting a magical and self-aware teenager and other small thoughts in my head. Thank you for being patient with my in my messiness. Messy alchemy is just part of who I am. I do have other episodes related to some of these topics, so go check them out if you feel so inclined. Thank you for being here. I know things are challenging right now but keep going. If you are craving community, come find us in our private communities on WA and FB. Also, if you are a company that resonates with Inspired Alchemy or Black Cathedral, please reach out and let's see if you are a good fit to be out into the directory on our site. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 74 Curious About Alchemy?

    Send us Fan MailThis is the beginning….small sustainable steps.This is where alchemy really begins — not with changing the world around you, but with becoming more aware of what is already happening within you and who you are. As you grow, shift and evolve, the reality around you shifts. Internal matches external. (More on this in another episode)This is the small beginnings of magic and alchemy. I tried to bring things as close to the beginning as I could because I am asked a bout this a lot. Magic and alchemy aren’t always easy and it will take lots of iterations of potions and mixtures to find what you are looking for. Be patient and please know everyone’s path is different. Yours won’t look like mine and mine won’t look like someone else’s. We can still use similar tools, but the path will look different and that it okay. We are all finding our unique magic. I really hope that this helps and lands as I intended. If you have questions, please feel free to find our private group on Facebook, where we go deeper into these discussions. I hope you learn how magical you are. I hope you know that you are loved and worthy just as you are in this moment. The future is human and as we all begin to find ourselves the human collective shifts and evolves. This is Inspired Perpetual AlchemyWith love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 73 Love asks, "Am I spooky?"

    Send us Fan MailFriday the 13th has a way of making us confront the things we’re secretly afraid of…and for many of us, love is one of them. With Valentine's Day being tomorrow, I thought this may the perfect time to cover this subject. Love is not something that can be quantified. It exists within us and all around us and who we are as human beings at our core. Society wants to place conditions on what love is and I call BS. This episode is about love, but not in the way you may think. This is a longer episode with a visualization at the end. If you choose the do the visualization at the end, please make sure you are in a place you feel supported and safe. Love doesn’t always look the way we were taught it should.It isn’t always loud, passionate, or permanent in one expression.Sometimes it transforms into friendship.Sometimes it becomes distance with care.Sometimes it remains quietly in the background as a sincere wish for someone to live a beautiful life.I tried to take care when prepping and recording this one because I wanted to cover everything about the topic that I could in a short period of time.  I go over everything from my perspectives, to loving as a mom, what society tries to tell us, the different types of love, intimacy and safety, the messy, very human nature of loving others while still learning to love ourselves, and everything in--between. Thank you for being here with me. Please know you are enough. You are loved. You are worthy of love in every version of you. I believe in you. Keep going. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With Love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 72 Turn the F*cking Heat On

    Send us Fan MailThis episode came to me when I woke up at 2 something in the morning. I was like " I need to write this down". I sleepily thought "Are you serious?", as I wrote down the title and a couple of notes. Thresholds are being passed daily as I find the balance between staying present and geeking out with what is going on within me and around me. We have the choice to freeze our asses off and be uncomfortable, or, we can turn on the heat and decide to stop being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. Life doesn't have to be a struggle or hard just because it always has been. Maybe turning on the heat instead of freezing will allow you the focus and allow the space for you to do what you need to, with more ease and less struggle. Each small sustainable step and inspired action, no matter how messy, is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. Let me know if I need to go more unhinged in these episodes. Keep creating alchemy. With love,LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Send us Fan MailI don't have a long drawn out write up. I did have a long write up planned but simplicity is needed. This is a story of hope. A story that humanity isn't broken no matter what they show you. While it seems like the world is burning, there are humans out there doing good. If you can't find those humans, be that human. I wanted to share hope in a time where people are quickly losing it. Sending love to all those in need. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 69 Reclaiming Your Own Frequency.

    Send us Fan MailUPDATE: My friend reached out to re-explain the universe part of expansion. While I understood, my brain kind of sees things as they are in a constant state of expansion and contraction. While I understand the Universe is always expanding, according to the current scientific models, I explained it from my perspective. What I see is something like, what is in theory, the Big Bounce, which proposes many big bangs and big crunches. This makes the most sense to me personally because of how we expand and contract as energetic beings. If we are the universe experiencing itself, then it makes the most sense that if we are expanding and contracting, then the universe must be as well. I could absolutely be wrong and that is okay, but it is how I see things. That is the beauty of being human.  What my friend was explaining is more of what science says is true which is the Big Bang happened and now there is constant expansion. I wanted to clarify for any science nerds out there as I love science. This time I mixed science, theory and metaphysics. I misquoted and wanted to clarify. As always, question everything and find your truth.This episode started with me rambling, as always. Then it lead to me talking about my car stereo being reset to neutral — and turned into a reflection on how often we live our lives tuned to other people’s settings.When everything was restored back to baseline, the music sounded completely different. Clearer. Truer. More mine. And it made me realize how often we try to copy how others live, create, or move through the world — instead of honoring our own frequency.You weren’t meant to live your life on someone else’s settings.Your frequency matters — and it sounds best when it’s yours.With love,LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 68 This Is the Part Where You Stop Pretending You’re Not Expanding.

    Send us Fan MailThis episode is about the kind of resistance you don’t recognize until it’s already loosening its grip.I share how joining group coaching felt different this time—not because it wasn’t aligned, but because I was already at capacity. Emotionally. Energetically. Financially. And yet, something made it clear that this was still in my best and highest good.We talk about:~the resistance that comes before expansion~trusting your body when things are foggy~saying yes even when it stretches you~the difference between pushing and consenting~and the collective intensity so many are feeling right nowI’m scared—but not in a wrong way.In the way that says: something is growing.I didn't even realize this until after I said "Yes."This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of expansion, learning to trust themselves and the timing of their life.You are safe. You aren't alone. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. Keep going alchemists. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 67 This Is How Change Actually Happens

    Send us Fan MailThis episode is a reflection on what happens when you stop resisting and start moving — even in the smallest ways.I share how going to the gym sparked inspiration for a new structure within Inspired Alchemy, how choosing embodiment over resistance creates momentum, and why real change doesn’t need to be loud or grand to matter.We talk about:-What happens when you get sick of your own sh*t-Being the change you want to see in the world-How small actions (even a smile) create ripples-How sharing your story can help someone feel less alone-Noticing the subtle shifts that quietly transform everythingThis episode is about alignment in motion — not perfection, not force, just presence and choice.Because sometimes the smallest shifts are the ones that change everything.This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Send us Fan MailNot everyone has somewhere to go for the holidays.Not everyone feels held, seen, or welcomed this time of year.And for many, the quiet becomes loud, the memories become heavy, and the loneliness sinks in deeper than usual.This episode is for them.For you.For anyone whose heart aches a little harder during the season when the world expects joy.Inside this special holiday message, I invite you into the warmth of Black Cathedral — a place where no one is left outside in the cold.A place where there is always a seat at the table.Where the candles glow softly, the air hums with belonging, and the energy of community wraps itself around you.You are not broken for feeling how you feel.You are not invisible.You are not forgotten.And you are never alone on this path — not in Black Cathedral, not in this community, and not in the alchemy of your becoming.Come sit at the table.There’s room for you here.You are enough and loved just as you are. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 62 The Alchemy of Saying F*&k it

    Send us Fan MailSociety is broken and it doesn't get to choose who you are or how you live your life— and yet somehow we let it tell us who to be, how to live, and what our happiness is supposed to look like.This episode is your reminder that choosing yourself is the real rebellion.No more shrinking.No more excuses.No more waiting for permission.We’re done pretending that “normal” is working.That burnout is normal.That disconnection from self and others is normal. That division is normal That self loathing is normal. That being in survival mode or constant shut down is normal. That having a nervous system that doesn't know if you are being chased by a bear or talking to the check out clerk is normal. It’s time to say "nah, this doesn't work for me" and choosing a life that’s actually yours.Your joy is rebellion and finding it internally means no one can take it. Your truth is revolution. Your sovereignty changes the collective.Step into your becoming.Authenticity is alchemy.Step into freedom. Reclaim your fire. Honor your cathedral. Its time to rise. The system wasn’t built for your soul —so stop molding yourself to fit it.Alchemy is choosing authenticity in a world that profits off your numbness.This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 61 Alchemy Means Being Married to the Madness

    Send us Fan MailAs you are aware, my life is burning to the ground, and I am slowly rebuilding from the rubble. I am a mess. I will never lie about what I am growing through. I will never pretend everything is okay for the sake of image. Alchemy is real and it is raw and if I lied about my journey, I wouldn't be helping anyone, not even myself. I am raw, honest, and as open as I can without compromising my privacy. To many, my growth and rebirth looks like insanity and it will probably continue to look insane to people. That is okay. I am not here for people everyone to understand. I am here for those ready to walk in the fire of Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. Alchemy looks like chaos before it looks like clarity.This episode explores:~why transformation feels like insanity,~why chaos is part of the alchemical process,~why people who aren’t doing the work will always misunderstand those who are.~a couple of things you can do to help yourself through the processWe talk about the emotional and energetic turbulence that happens as we shed identities, patterns, relationships, and versions of ourselves that no longer fit.You’re not losing your mind.You’re losing what you were never meant to carry.Only those on the path understand.Remove the masks. You aren't broke. Keep creating alchemy. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 60 The Alchemy of Compassion: Today Day Nature Became My Oracle

    Send us Fan MailLast night was heavy… and this morning, nature answered in a way I didn’t expect.Sometimes the universe answers you through symbols — not words.After a night of deep emotional heaviness, I woke to two messengers:a crow that landed beside me as I asked, “Am I still in alignment?”and a twig ant that stung me, returned a second time, and offered a lesson in grounded perseverance and compassion. I had the choice of how to react and I chose love and compassion, even for an ant. In this episode, we explore:The crow as an alchemist of shadow, intuition, truth, and confirmationThe twig ant as a symbol of groundedness, resilience, patience, and persistenceThe moment we realize that all beings — even the smallest ones — have a right to exist as they areThe difference between reacting from pain and responding from presenceHow nature mirrors what we need to see in ourselvesThe crow brought validation.The ant brought embodiment.Together, they showed me that even in moments of uncertainty, chaos and pain, we are guided — not by logic, but by the language of the natural world, awareness and intuition. “Alchemy is not escaping life. It is learning from everything life sends to you.”As we move through messy layers, give yourself grace and understanding. You are allowed to exist as you are and to take up space. Be a rebel soul. Be consistent in Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. Learn to surrender and trust (this is very challenging). Love yourself. This is where alchemy starts and ripples out into the world. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. Keep going. With Love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 59 The Alchemy of Showing Up When You Don’t Feel Inspired

    Send us Fan MailThank you for being patient with my messy. My intention is to always show up and give you all I have, even if my all id different each time. Even messy and imperfect I show up. This episode is for the days when nothing feels right.When the energy is off. When the inspiration isn’t there.When there is lack of motivation. When you don’t want to show up… but you know you need to.Alchemy isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect feeling.Alchemy is what happens when you choose to show up anyway — messy, tired, uninspired and just human.In this episode I talk about: ~the myth that inspiration must come first~how to keep moving forward even when nothing feels aligned~how to alchemize overwhelm, stagnancy, and doubt into presence~why integration seasons feel like “nothing is happening” (even when everything is shifting)You don’t have to feel inspired to be in your purpose or to be in alignment. You don’t have to feel ready to take the next step, you just keep taking the small steps.Sometimes the most powerful transformation is simply not abandoning yourself.Thank you for being here. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 58 The Witch and the Werewolf: Wild Alchemy Pt 2

    Send us Fan MailIn this episode, like I mentioned in the last episode, we will explore the witch and the werewolf within. I will then do my best to blend the witch, scientist and werewolf and explain as I myself process these ideas. There werewolf is a newer idea for me, so this episode is messier then the last. While I have always been a magical and science minded, this new raw and primal werewolf is something I am working on and discovering and seeing how all of this relates to the alchemical process. In this episode I give a small visual and it relates to a very messy sharing of something I wrote, called the witch and the werewolf, of course. Again, i am having to reverse engineer and research to explain my process, especially for things I have always just done. Thanks for being here in the messiness. Next week we hit episodes 59 and 60! This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 57: The Witch and the Scientist: When Magic Meets Method Part 1

    Send us Fan MailIn part 1 of this, right now, 2-part series, we discuss the first two parts of a triad I am working on. I have always been witchy and in love with science. I even got accepted to a prestigious science program, and sorority, when I was going into high school. I was unable to attend because  I was moving. I will continue to work to meld the two worlds as I learn and grow. Magic is just science that hasn't been discovered, yet. Part two will come out Friday where I talk about the witch and the werewolf and how the witch, scientist and werewolf are all part of your inner alchemist. Alchemy lives at the crossroads of intuition and logic — it’s the sacred marriage of the witch and the scientist.Both the witch and the scientist are essential for transformation. The witch trusts the unseen, the rhythms, the energies, and the cycles. The scientist observes, experiments, and seeks evidence. Together, they forma powerful bond for the alchemical process. Beliefs grounded in awareness, intuition guided by observation, and mystery supported by method.I go over: -Some personal stories.-The Witch as a symbol of intuition, ritual, and surrender to the unseen.-The Scientist as a symbol of curiosity, experimentation, and understanding through structure.-How you can blend magic and method in your own life — using both intuition and critical thought.-I also take you through a guided visualization where my cat decides to chime in on the visual. lolThis balance is so needed right now because collective energy is craving both mystery and reason. In part 2, I will blend these two with the primal side of the werewolf, which is very new to me in my embodiment process, so part 2 is definitely messy.This is for anyone who’s ever felt “too magical for logic” or “too logical for the magic.” You don’t have to choose — you can be both. This is powerful embodiment. Thank you for being here with me. This is inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With Love,LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 56 The Alchemy of Readiness: A Halloween Lesson

    Send us Fan MailAre you haunting yourself with the ghost of "not ready yet" or allowing the fear monster to guide you instead of your intuition? Ready is not a feeling it is a choice. While intuition does play into it, there is something deeper at work here. If we wait until we "feel" ready, we may never chose or move forward, staying stuck in the web of delay. In this Halloween-inspired episode, I explore how spooky archetypes remind us that readiness is an alchemical act. Ghosts haunt us when we don’t release the past, the idea of monsters in our room or closet grow until we open the door and decide to face them, and werewolves transform whether they feel ready or not but change gets easier when they stop resisting. Ready is a choice and every choice we make is alchemy and a step on our path. As we move in uncertainty and take action, the path is illuminated. I also take you on a short visual journey to find your readiness key. Thank you for being here with me. I appreciate the support. If you think someone would benefit from this episode or any others, please send them my way. If you want to a community we are building one inside the Inspired Alchemy Collective. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 55: Trick, Treat & Transformation: The Alchemy of Being a Haunted House

    Send us Fan MailEvery ghost is a memory, every monster is hidden power, and every trick carries the seed of a treat.Halloween is costumes, candy, and spooky stories — BUT it’s also a mirror for the alchemical process we all go through. Yes, i said it. It's also about alchemy. The archetypes of this season — ghosts, witches, skeletons, monsters, and more — are fun but can also be related to alchemy. They reflect the shadows we carry, the parts of ourselves we fear, and the lessons waiting to be alchemized.In this playful yet powerful episode, I explore:The archetypes of Halloween and how they reveal our shadows (ghosts as the past that haunts us, skeletons as the bare bones of truth, monsters as repressed power, witches as intuition, and more).Haunted houses & Graveyards — how unresolved patterns or grief can feel like hauntings, and how to transform them through awareness. How Graveyards can also mean new beginnings. Trick or treat alchemy — how life’s challenges and joys both act as teachers, showing us that every trick can hold the seed of a treat.This episode is a reminder that shadow work doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Sometimes it’s spooky, playful, and magical — and Halloween is the perfect time to remember that your shadows are not curses, but invitations to transformation.Thank you for being here with me in the mess. Thank you for spending your time with me. Thank you for your support. With love and spookiness, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 53 Songs, Stories & Small Steps: Everyday Alchemy

    Send us Fan MailAlchemy isn’t only about fire and shadow — it’s also about creation. In this episode, I explore how art and creative expression are essential tools for alchemy, whether your art is sculpting, dancing, coloring, music, writing, or simply moving your body. Creativity helps us break free from stagnancy, and stagnancy is not the same as integration.This is soul alchemy. I share how:Art is alchemy — and why expression matters for moving through mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks and how those around me are doing this. Music like the Twenty One Pilots albums storytelling and even how artists like Ghost’s Tobias Forge carry the alchemical process within their art.Parenting and connection thrive when we allow space for conversation, even about things like Stranger Things, music or anything else my daughter find interesting or important. She is always teaching me. Our kids are always listening, watching, and reflecting their own alchemy back to us and acting as a mirror for own own alchemy. Small moments of courage — like sharing energy work with my doctor — can open doors to unexpected opportunitiesThis episode is a reminder that even when things feel scattered or unclear, creativity is a compass. Keep creating, keep expressing, keep asking the universe to show you what’s next — even the smallest steps forward matter.This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

Growth, release, alignment — all of it has a rhythm that mirrors the turning of the leaves, the cycles of the earth, and the quiet transitions we often overlook.In this episode, I share my own journey through a recent somatic emotional release session and how it helped me shed layers I didn’t even realize I was holding. I talk about the grief and release that followed, the unexpected peace that came with it, and how those shifts opened me up to serve my clients in deeper ways.I also explore how conversations, synchronicities, and even the simple act of sitting in my backyard — watching the falling leaves, listening to birds, noticing the movement of squirrels — reminded me of something powerful: everything has its season.This is an episode about seasonal alchemy:How our bodies, emotions, and energy shift like the seasonsWhy release creates space for alignment (even when things don’t make sense)The magic of finding peace in simple, everyday momentsAllowing ourselves to trust the cycles of grief, release, rebirth and joy.Holding a deep gratitude for this journey. Please remember you are not walking this path alone. Sometimes alchemy looks like fire and ashes.

    Episode 51 The Alchemy of Play: Sacred Play & Finding Freedom In Becoming

    Send us Fan MailIn this episode, inspired by my daughter, I shift gears. I share a couple of my stories and a guided visualization that will help you get into the energy of alchemical play. We often think of shadow work, personal development and growth as painful and heavy. It doesn't always have to be this way. We can choose to shift into a more lighthearted space. I'm not saying this is always possible, but even just recording this, I felt a shift in my energy. We often forget how important play is. I speak about it often, but I also forget myself as I get caught up in my own heaviness and growth and life itself. Play is often overlooked in the growth and alchemical process because we have been taught play doesn't exist past being a child and this is wrong. Its how we learn and grow and it is an extremely important part of alchemy. Play isn’t a distraction — it’s integration. It opens the body, moves stagnant energy, resets the nervous system, and makes space for creativity and freedom. Without play, transformation gets heavy. With play, we remember why we’re here in the first place.This episode is your reminder: becoming doesn’t have to be all fire and ashes. Sometimes it’s dancing in your kitchen, laughing until your belly hurts, or finding wonder in something small and silly. Play is not just fun — it’s medicine for the mind, body and soul. As always, thank you for being here with me. Keep going. Keep creating alchemy. Stand sovereign.

It fuels me to become better each and every day, one small step at a time. This may seem like a small milestone to some, but for me, it is huge, and I am so grateful for this journey. The belief, the tough love, the passion and the energy those around me have propelled me forward and for that I will be forever grateful. I could have given myself a thousand reasons to not keep going but I did and now, here we are. Do I know where this path leads, no. But I will continue to do everything with intention. I will continue to create Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. I will keep creating alchemy with each inspired action. I will keep going. This episode is exactly what it sounds like. This was such a scary episode for me to release. I didn't even know this was going to be the topic until it was. I wasn't planning on releasing things yet, but we all know what happens to plans sometimes...While it may seem silly since this is "just" a brief introduction, this is also a part of my soul. This is something I have been working towards my entire life, even before it had a name. I have no idea where this path will lead or in what time frame, but I do know this seemingly small step is the step I need to take now. Keep going alchemists. Welcome to the sanctuary. Your shadows belong here. Your becoming begins here.Welcome to The Black Cathedral. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Send us Fan MailAlchemy doesn’t just happen in the mind and soul— it happens in the body as well. Every day we are working toward alchemy on every level of our being. In this episode, I talk about why we can’t leave the physical body behind in the process of alchemical transformation. Just as we face energetic and mental blockages, the body holds its own — and when left unaddressed, those blockages ripple outward into our mental, emotional, and energetic fields. We hold so much in our bodies. Even if we have processed it in our heads, our body still holds on until we process these things. I explore how practices like lymphatic drainage, movement, and physical self-care can create more space in the body, allowing energy to flow more freely. Because when body and energy align, transformation deepens.When we create space in our body for flow, we This is a reminder that healing isn’t only about shadow work or energy work — it’s about honoring the body as the temple, the vessel, and the foundation of your alchemical fire.This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. Thank you for being here.Thank you for spending your time with me. With Love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

In this episode, I let my heart bleed a little as I reflect on the words of Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings:“There’s some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.”With tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, I talk about why I wake up each day, why I choose to keep going, and how every one of us has a choice and we must decide how we want to show up in this world. We must decide the legacy we want to leave for those who come after us. We must choose to change. We explore:~Why change needs to start within us and how things change one choice at a time~How I personally choose Inspired Perpetual Alchemy and how it is woven into daily action and intention~Turning away distraction and hate and choosing instead connection with our fellow humans~Alchemizing the heaviness of the world into purpose, presence, and hopeThis is a heavy episode, but also one filled with fire.

And it’s worth alchemizing ourselves to protect it.I know things feel heavy, but I have hope and I will continue to hold on to that each and every day. Not just for me, but for my daughter and for those around me. Even in the shadows, I choose to love. You can't control the darkness, but you can choose to light a candle. Every day you have a choice to feed the fear or fight for the light. Remember that all the choices you make are alchemical. You aren't alone. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 45 Holding Space, Not Control: The Truth About Alchemical Facilitation (and how I work)

    Send us Fan MailThis episode is a little different. Over the past few days, I’ve had several conversations about my work as an alchemical facilitator — what I do, why I do it, and why the how matters. I also talk a little bit about my why. My goal has always been simple: to hold space where people leave feeling more empowered, more connected to themselves, and with tools they can carry forward on their journey. I’ll never claim to know everything. I won't be right for everyone, period and I won't pretend to be. That's okay. Safety is always key for me. I also talk about something equally important but only briefly: how to choose the right guide for you. In the coaching, spiritual, and self-development spaces, there are beautiful teachers doing incredible work… but there are also red flags worth noticing. I share a few insights to help you navigate these choices, trust your discernment, and honor your own path of becoming. Something I did forget to mention when choosing a guide/facilitator is how it feels within your body. If that is something you would like me to go into, let me know.This episode is for anyone curious about my work, searching for their next mentor, or simply wanting to better understand the alchemical spaces.Thank you for being here with me. I appreciate your support. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Send us Fan MailThis journey is about taking the train into the unknown shadows and finding out that its taking you to the most beautiful places In this episode, I explore the metaphor of transformation as a journey: sometimes the train speeds forward, sometimes it slows down, and sometimes it stops completely — forcing us to sit with what’s uncomfortable. Growth asks us to trust the process, even when we can’t see the next station/stop, even when the scenery feels unfamiliar, and especially when life invites us to pause. Its asking you to take your fear and transmute it to see the beauty in the journey. I weave together themes of energy shifts, sovereignty, changes within relationships and life in general, and deep inner work, touching on:The connection between alchemy, shadow integration, and embodimentLearning to release control and surrender to your timingHow the nervous system and intuition guide us through the unknownStrengthening your connection to yourself and othersWhy slowing down is sometimes the most powerful transformation of allThis is an episode about trusting the ride and integration of the journey— about letting yourself feel, integrate, and grow while honoring your own pace.

    Episode 42 Beneath the Wallpaper: The Truth About Healing, Freedom & Becoming

    Send us Fan MailYou can’t build a solid foundation by covering cracks with pretty wallpaper.In this episode, I dive into the hard truth of alchemy: there are no shortcuts. Just like renovating a home, you can’t bypass the structural work and expect the walls to stand. You can paint, you can decorate, you can make it look beautiful on the surface — but if the foundation is unstable, it will all eventually crumble.We have to work in way that is sustainable. In a way that the work we do will stick. If we try to move too fast it may not be sustainable. It may also cause more harm than good. Build your foundation so that whatever comes next will have a safe and solid place to land and build from. Healing works the same way. Band-Aids can’t hold forever. Affirmations won’t hide avoidance. Spiritual bypassing isn’t freedom — it’s delay. The work of becoming who you’re meant to be isn’t always easy. It requires honesty, pain, patience, and radical self-compassion. But the reward? True freedom.In this episode, we explore:Why fast doesn’t always mean forwardThe possible issues of bypassing pain in the name of progressTaking the time to rebuild yourself from the inside outUnderstanding that shortcuts cost more in the long runFinding freedom on the other side of doing the real workThis is an invitation to slow down. To go deeper instead of faster. To lay the foundation for the life, the self, and the becoming you’ve always deserved.If you want me to go deeper into topics like this, please let me know.

While our reticular activating system may help us notice patterns, there’s also something deeper — an energetic thread pulling us into greater awareness, connection, and transformation.I talk about the magic of connection:Strengthening bonds where you just know what someone’s thinkingBrief yet powerful moments with strangers that leave lasting imprintsThe collective energy weaving people, synchronicities, and lessons togetherWe also explore what it means to be a human sponge — how to notice when you’re carrying energy that isn’t yours, and how presence and intention can keep you anchored in your own field.

    Send us Fan MailVenom 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 evolutionGratitude as Fuel — honoring the teachers, lovers, lessons, and guides life sends usThe Fire of Transformation — why integration is more important than collecting more toolsBreaking Free from Spiritual Crutches — astrology, human design, and the power of choosing yourselfInspired Perpetual Alchemy in Action — allowing yourself to burn, to rise, and to embody what you’ve learnedThis 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 AlchemyGrowth through shedding, integration, and rebirthGratitude for the people and lessons that shape usThe tension between tools and true transformationBreaking through excuses, bypassing, and choosing embodiment🎧 Listen now on the Inspired Alchemy Podcast here on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Audible and streaming on the IA website. Thank you for your continued support. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

Sometimes, it’s not grieving a person… but a version of life you thought you’d have.In this episode, I explore the softer, messier side of alchemy — where we’re asked to release our expectations, surrender what’s out of alignment, and make space for what wants to unfold instead. I share personal reflections on parenting, co-creation, and compromise, and how listening to our children can become its own form of wisdom when we let them mirror back what we’ve taught them.We dive into:The alchemy of grieving the life you imaginedAcceptance vs. control — finding peace in “what is”How our children often become our greatest teachersTaking intentional action as we age to align with health, vitality, and longevityThe patterns we carry… and the ones we choose to breakGrief has its own rhythm.

    Send us Fan Mail“Softness is not weakness — it’s the courage to stay in your body when the world tells you to leave.”There’s a side of alchemy that isn’t fire and friction — it’s breath, presence, and the quiet courage of staying open.In this episode, I share the gratitude I feel for where I am on my journey, for being able to hold space for others even while moving through my own work, and for the gift of feeling soft in my own body and energy.We talk about nervous system regulation — not as the absence of emotion, but as the ability to have emotions and stay steady within them. I reflect on how this work has allowed me to see my daughter’s growth, to receive support from a friend and practitioner who has shown me a new way of being, and to experience intimacy — with myself, with others — in ways that words can’t fully hold.This is an episode about:Gratitude as an alchemical practiceNervous system regulation as a path to deeper embodimentLearning vulnerability without collapsingSeeing self-sabotage patterns and choosing differentlyRewiring the mind to allow more softnessThis is the alchemy of choosing presence over protection.

I share a triggering moment I witnessed: a mother's horrific behavior towards her small son while her other children and husband sat in silence. It made me think about men’s mental health, and how cycles of pain are passed down when parents refuse to heal. It is something that weighs on my heart. We cover:Why the cycles of abuse and intolerance continue in familiesHow parents demand behavior they can’t model themselvesThe unhealed trauma and the mental health crisis in men The motherly instinct to protectWhy being the change doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but youThe choice we all have: perpetuate the cycle of pain or choose perpetual alchemy and alchemize it to become betterChange begins with us — even if it makes us look “crazy” to those still trapped in the pattern.

    Episode 36 Voice Shaking, Soul Speaking: The Path to Real Intimacy (Part 2)

    Send us Fan MailIn this continuation of "The Edge of Intimacy," I go deeper — into the fire, into the shadow, into the parts of me that once stayed silent.My voice trembles, but I still speak my truth — because love doesn’t require perfection, only presence. This is true for love of self, love of others and connection. Perfection is a fallacy anyway. it doesn't exist. So be real. Be present. Be YOU. The edge of intimacy isn't a cliff — it is a doorway into myself.This episode is about what happens after you meet yourself. When you’ve stood naked before your own truth, stared into the mirror, and begun the sacred work of being honest — now what? You open. You connect. You allow.I share pieces of my own journey — the words I’ve written, the truths I’ve spoken, even when my voice trembled. I talk about how the darkness is not always a void or a place of despair — but a fertile ground where growth, passion, and deep feeling are born. This is the space where shadow work becomes sacred intimacy. It is where you find your sacred power you have forgotten. It’s about letting someone say, “I see you — let me hold you,” and not retreating into the safety of “I’m fine.”With tears in your eyes, shaking as you hold to your truth and allow someone hold you where you are at and just sink into it, is another kind of self love and trust. It’s about standing in your sovereignty and still allowing others to witness and hold your humanity.This is real intimacy.This is love, unmasked.This is the path into the flame.This is cracking yourself open as the light shines from inside you into the places that once felt isolated and too dark to see in. You are the light in the darkness. I let the darkness hold me long enough to remember I was made of fire. Now I am reborn as a phoenix. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With love, LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 35 The Edge of Intimacy: Where Love Begins with Self

    Send us Fan MailIn this vulnerable and unflinching episode, I explore the jagged edges of love, intimacy, and self-acceptance. I share the raw truth of what it feels like to be terrified of being fully seen and loved — not for what I do, but for who I am at my core.This is a conversation about crumbling walls, armor laid down, and the rubble we’re left standing in when we finally stop running from ourselves. I talk about how we push people away to stay safe, how some connections are only built on the idea of us, and what it means to return to our essence — the fire, the love, the too-muchness we’ve been taught to tame.You’ll hear thoughts on:The fear of being abandoned for being “too much”Why staying in the wrong place is self-sabotageLoving deeply, wildly, authentically — and how that scares peopleWhy mirrors won’t save us (and how that’s our responsibility)How love and rage are both human, but only one leads us homeThis is the alchemy of intimacy, of self-love, of becoming whole. This is the path back to yourself.Thank you for being here with me. This is Inspired Perpetual AlchemySending love to those in need, ~LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 34 – The Playlist of Your Becoming: Frequency, Music & Alchemy

    Send us Fan MailYour soul has a soundtrack. Some people just weren’t meant to dance to it.Some people are jazz. Some are death metal. Some are heartbreak ballads wrapped in synth-pop skin. You, my friend, are your own song — and not everyone is going to like the sound of your becoming.In this episode, I talk about the intimate connection between music, frequency, and alchemy. From my early love of Billy Joel to the silence that followed cutting ties with my mother — and the strange peace that came full circle while watching his documentary — this one is personal. Grief, healing, and resonance all play a note here.I also reflect on recent conversations about sound and identity, and touch on the recent passing of Ozzy Osbourne — the prince of darkness, the amplifier of unapologetic weirdness — and what it means to carry a frequency that won’t be dimmed.This one’s for:The misfits whose sound doesn’t fit the mainstreamThe sensitives who feel music like bloodThe alchemists learning that their frequency is the fireYou are your own song. Let it be messy. Let it be loud. Let it be yours.You are an alchemist. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. ~LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 33 The Madness of Alchemy

    Send us Fan MailThere’s a moment on the alchemical path where you stop hiding, start shining… and suddenly, you’re the villain.In this raw transmission, I speak into the madness that surfaces when you step fully into your authenticity, sovereignty, and alignment — and the ways others might try to project their discomfort onto your existence. Sometimes just breathing is enough to trigger someone’s shadow. Sometimes your light is treated like a crime.I share personal stories from a recent experience that cracked open old wounds and childhood echoes — and how I chose to feel, stay aware, and alchemize instead of collapse.This episode is for anyone who’s ever been told they were “too much,” “too loud,” “too free,” or “too alive.”It’s heavier. It’s honest. It’s also a reminder:The burn means you’re forging something real. Keep going. Keep Creating alchemy. This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. With Love,Lizzie(This is labeled as explicit because I drop the F bomb one time.)Support the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 32 – The Art of Existing: Intuition, Integration & Letting It Be (Put it down)

    Send us Fan MailSometimes the most powerful thing you can do on the path of alchemy… is to just exist.In this deeply personal episode, I share the weight of the last few days — the emotional currents, the intuitive nudges, the subtle unravelings. Rather than forcing clarity, I chose to follow my body’s cues and my soul’s whispers: what to wear, where to go, what to eat — and how that simple surrender moved more energy than overthinking ever could.We explore:The sacred permission to feel before fixingNoticing your self-sabotage loops without shameIntuitive embodiment as medicineIntegration as the forgotten step in transformationLaying things down so you can pick yourself back up, wholeThis isn’t an episode about doing — it’s about being. Because sometimes, the most alchemical choice is to let yourself be fully human.This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. ~LizzieSupport the showThank you for your support and patience as I make my messy way through life.

    Episode 31 – The Fire Is Yours: Discernment, Intuition & Energetic Sovereignty

    Send us Fan MailThis episode is messy — and that’s part of the alchemy.In this soul-led, unfiltered transmission, I speak from the flame of experience about what it means to reclaim your energy, protect your field, and use discernment as a spiritual tool. We explore how your energy is your alchemical fire — and why it’s sacred.I share stories from my own journey, including the quiet unraveling of being used as an energetic battery in a former community, and how discernment taught me who should have access to my energy and who no longer can. I also share a personal story about my daughter and how even the basics of intuition and energetic awareness begin early — if we let them.This episode touches on:How to recognize your own energetic baselineWhy discernment strengthens your intuitionHow to gently call your energy back to youThe truth about energetic mimicry and siphoningAnd how, as you grow, your field becomes more sacred — and more protectedEven through the static, this episode holds a current. May it meet you in your own remembering.Thank you foe being here with me. Thank you for being patient as I take messy action.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

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. ~Lizzie
