    Love Left Fingerprints Too

    For years, when Lizzi looked back at her childhood, the pain was easy to find. The kindness was harder to see. In this deeply personal episode of Untamed Voices, she remembers the people scattered across countries, classrooms, kitchens, and gymnasiums who offered her something they may never have realized she needed: joy, dignity, belonging, protection, encouragement, attunement, and the simple experience of being genuinely enjoyed. From a woman in Brazil who wrapped a towel around her wet hair and called her a queen, to a classmate who made room beside her, coaches who learned how to believe in her, teachers who saw beneath her struggles, and a woman who was simply happy she existed, these small moments became far more significant than they appeared at the time. Lizzi explores why complex trauma can make love difficult to recognize, how the belief “my existence isn’t valid” shaped the way she remembered her life, and what happened when healing allowed those old memories to take on new meaning. This episode is a reflection on the quiet ways people change us without ever knowing it—and the tenderness of realizing that while pain left fingerprints, love did too.

    Retiring from Martyrdom: The Strength to Be Held

    What happens when the body finally refuses to keep carrying what the heart has learned to endure? After a severe Ménière’s disease episode left her unable to stand, move, or push through, Lizzi found herself confronting far more than vertigo. As memories surfaced—from childhood injuries to surgery, illness, and years spent proving she could handle anything—she began uncovering an invisible contract she had lived by for decades: keep going, do not inconvenience anyone, and never need so much that you become a burden. In this deeply personal episode of Untamed Voices, Lizzi explores the rules our bodies remember, the protective parts that confuse usefulness with worth, and the vulnerability of receiving care without apologizing or rushing to repay it. This is a reflection on rest, illness, hyper-independence, parenthood, and the quiet courage it takes to say, “I am not okay,” without immediately promising everyone that you will be. Because perhaps the opposite of martyrdom is not selfishness. Perhaps it is trust. And perhaps real strength is not carrying everything alone, but finally allowing yourself to be held.

    The Lighthouse: Trusting That the Light Will Return

    In this episode of Untamed Voices, Lizzi explores the two stories held by every harbor: the story of the ships searching for light and the story of the lighthouse that remains. Through personal reflection, trauma-informed neuroscience, and resilience-based insight, she examines why being deeply seen can feel both life-giving and terrifying—especially for those who learned early that love, safety, and connection could disappear without warning. She shares how emotional starvation can create a longing that feels impossible to fill, why hypervigilance can be mistaken for empathy, and how the fear of being “too much” can lead us to monitor our needs and manage abandonment instead of learning true regulation. This episode also speaks directly to therapists, parents, helpers, caregivers, and anyone whose heart naturally bends toward people in pain. Lizzi reflects on the difference between witnessing and rescuing, supporting and over-functioning, and becoming a steady presence without abandoning your own shore. At its heart, this is an episode about learning that healthy love does not have to remain fixed on us to remain faithful. It turns. It returns. And through enough consistent experiences, we begin to realize that the light we spent our lives searching for has been waiting within us all along.

    The Lineage of Light: Breaking the Inheritance of Fear

    What if the most powerful thing you inherited wasn’t the wound… but the light that survived it? In this deeply personal episode of Untamed Voices, Lizzi reflects on the stories we carry through our families, the beliefs we inherit without choosing, and the profound realization that lineage is not the same as identity. We explore the idea that while our ancestors may have passed down fear, silence, control, or grief, they also passed down resilience, hope, love, and the quiet determination that allowed us to exist today. Through a vivid dream of a child born from a lineage of destruction, a transformative retreat that challenged her relationship with family history, and reflections on healing generational patterns, Lizzi invites listeners into a new understanding: Blood may remember. But the soul chooses. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered if they are destined to repeat the past, struggled to feel pride in where they came from, or longed to believe that healing can change the story—not only for themselves, but for generations to come. In this episode, we explore: Why lineage is information—not identity.How generational patterns shape us without defining us.The difference between rescuing the “destroyer” and protecting the innocent child within.What dreams can reveal about healing and belonging.The possibility that intuition is your future, healed self reaching back to guide you.Becoming the ancestor your younger self needed.A gentle blessing closes the episode, reminding us that while wounds may be inherited, so is the light that has refused to go out across generations. Because your truest inheritance has never been the wound. It has always been the light.

    The Maps We Inherit: From Fear to Wonder

    Why do some beliefs stay with us long after we’ve outgrown them? In this deeply personal episode of Untamed Voices, I explore the invisible stories we inherit as children—the ones that quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, our spirituality, and the world around us. Beginning with childhood superstitions that once felt completely real, we journey into the ways our minds and nervous systems create meaning in an effort to feel safe. Along the way, I share a recent experience that reminded me how healing isn’t about never feeling fear again—it’s about learning to meet ourselves with curiosity instead of certainty. This conversation is an invitation to gently question the maps you’ve been following, to notice where your attention has been resting, and to consider what becomes possible when you choose trust over hypervigilance and wonder over fear. If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns seem to follow you, or sensed that there’s a gentler way to move through life, I hope this episode feels like a quiet place to begin. Take a deep breath, settle in, and let’s walk this path together.

    Thin Places: The Long Journey Home

    There is an old Celtic understanding of thin places—sacred spaces where heaven and earth seem to draw close and something beyond ourselves feels almost within reach. But what if the thinnest place isn’t found in an ancient forest or along the rugged coast of Ireland? What if it’s found within us? In this deeply personal episode, Lizzi explores the quiet loneliness that often lives beneath perfectionism, people-pleasing, overgiving, and the longing to belong. Through stories from her own life, reflections on childhood, attachment, the nervous system, and the wisdom of Celtic spirituality, she invites listeners to consider that healing isn’t always about becoming someone new. Sometimes it’s about returning to the child who has been waiting patiently for us to come home. This is a conversation about belonging—not finding it in someone else, but rediscovering it within yourself. Because perhaps the longest journey we will ever take is not across the world… but back to our own hearts.

    Season 2 Begins: A New Season of Trust

    Welcome to Season 2 of Untamed Voices. Over the past year, we’ve explored trauma, attachment, boundaries, nervous system healing, parts work, rest, relationships, and what it means to reclaim ourselves. Looking back, I realize all of those conversations were leading here. In this episode, I share one of the biggest shifts in my own healing journey: discovering that self-trust isn’t built through certainty—it’s built through learning that whatever comes next, we can meet it. We’ll explore: Why letting go is often harder than we expectHow our protective parts hold on out of love, not sabotageWhy the nervous system chooses what’s familiar over what’s freeThe grief that comes with outgrowing survival identitiesHow trust is created through lived experience rather than insight aloneWhy healing may be less about forcing answers and more about allowing life to unfoldIf you’ve been exhausted from carrying responsibilities that no longer belong to you, searching for certainty before taking the next step, or wondering why you can’t simply “let go,” this conversation is for you. Season 2 is an invitation to loosen your grip, honor the parts of you that helped you survive, and begin trusting yourself more deeply than ever before. Because the next chapter doesn’t need to be forced. It only needs to be trusted enough to unfold.

    Energy, Auras, and Presence: What Are We Really Feeling?

    Why do some people seem to light up a room while others leave us feeling drained? Why can we sometimes sense someone’s emotions before they say a word? And what is actually happening when we talk about “energy”? In this episode of Untamed Voices, Lizzi explores the fascinating intersection of science, spirituality, intuition, and human experience. From nervous system regulation and polyvagal theory to electromagnetic fields, auras, presence, and trauma, this conversation invites curiosity rather than certainty. Together we’ll explore questions such as: Why do some people seem to have a powerful presence?What does science say about emotional contagion and co-regulation?Are auras real, symbolic, or something we simply don’t understand yet?How does trauma teach us to shrink ourselves?What changes when we stop abandoning our own energy and begin taking up the space that already belongs to us?Rather than trying to prove or disprove any one perspective, this episode offers a thoughtful exploration of the mystery of human connection and what it means to become fully present in your own life. Whether you approach this topic through psychology, spirituality, neuroscience, intuition, or simple curiosity, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of why presence matters—and how reclaiming your own energy may be one of the most powerful forms of healing. Because maybe the goal isn’t to become bigger than you are. Maybe it’s simply to stop shrinking and become fully yourself. #UntamedVoices #EnergyHealing #PolyvagalTheory #NervousSystem #TraumaHealing #Intuition #Auras #Spirituality #PersonalGrowth #Embodiment #Presence #HealingJourney Send us Fan Mail Support the show If this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to share it with someone who might need these words today.
