What does it take to stand before a 14-story blank wall and make the first mark with no grid, no projection and no fear? In this powerful conversation, Liz sits down with acclaimed Los Angeles muralist Robert Vargas, a sixth-generation Mexican American artist from Boyle Heights whose breathtaking work transforms buildings, neighborhoods and the people who experience them. Want to know Liz's secrets to get out of stuckness? https://youtu.be/EoGuzPx3qDY?si=yDwwCAiOCAB-Tia4 Robert shares how his childhood view of the downtown Los Angeles skyline inspired him to dream big and paint even bigger. He opens up about creating art freehand, trusting his intuition, staying present and developing the discipline to keep moving, even when the vision isn’t fully formed. From painting his first mural at age 10 to creating a massive 60,000-square-foot mural, Robert’s story is a reminder that creativity doesn’t begin with perfection. It begins when you pick up the brush, get your hands dirty and start. In this episode, you’ll discover: • Why intention is at the heart of meaningful work • How discipline can overcome creative blocks • Why criticism shouldn’t stop you from expressing yourself • How public art helps communities feel seen • What it means to “stay the child” • Why trusting yourself is essential to making your impact Whether you consider yourself an artist or haven’t created anything in years, this conversation will inspire you to reconnect with your imagination, take messy action and create something that feels authentically yours. As Robert says: “If you’re true to your work, your work will be true to you.” What would you create if you stopped worrying about what other people might think?

What if instead of waiting for everyone else to change you focused on YOU? What if the most powerful thing you could do for everyone you love… is finally choose yourself? JOIN LIZ LIVE ON ZOOM for EVOLVE: https://www.lizsvatek.com/evolve-experience For years, women have been taught that being a “good” mother, wife, daughter, or friend means carrying everyone’s emotions, fixing their problems, keeping the peace, and putting themselves last. But that constant sacrifice often leaves us exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from who we truly are. In this powerful episode, Liz challenges the rules women have inherited and asks: What would happen if we stopped rescuing everyone and started trusting ourselves? Discover how choosing yourself can transform your relationships, your parenting, and your entire life. Because putting yourself first doesn’t mean no one else matters—it means you finally understand that you matter, too. The old way isn’t working. A new season is waiting. Are you willing to be the woman who goes first? QUESTION: What is one responsibility, expectation, or emotional burden you’re ready to stop carrying?

She started working at Denny's at 16. At 23, Dawn Lafreeda bought her first restaurant using tips and credit cards. Today, she owns more than 62 locations and has built a business generating $98 million in annual revenue. So how does a woman build that kind of belief BEFORE she has any evidence it's going to work? In this conversation, Dawn and I go far beyond her extraordinary business success. We talk about childhood trauma, fear, taking messy action, walking into rooms where women weren't welcome, being underestimated, building a reputation through follow-through—and learning to take the risk before you feel ready. How did she go from survival to success? Dawn shares what she learned about: Taking action before confidence arrives Seeing opportunity where other people see risk Navigating male-dominated rooms Turning discrimination into action Building trust by doing what you say you'll do Why being underestimated can become an advantage Taking bigger risks at any age Believing in yourself before you have the evidence If you've been waiting to feel ready before making your next move, this conversation is for you. ✨ READY TO BECOME LIMITLESS?

We spend so much time trying to heal, grow, and become the best version of ourselves. But what if there's a hidden trap that actually keeps us stuck? What if the goal of personal growth isn't to become more spiritual...but to remember how to be both deeply human and deeply connected to the Divine? In this deeply personal episode, Liz shares a powerful story from a recent trip to Fargo, where she realized she had quietly stopped doing the very practices she teaches. After walking through a difficult season supporting her daughter, she found herself disconnected from her morning rituals, her inner stillness, and ultimately, from herself. That experience became an invitation to explore one of the greatest misunderstandings in the personal growth world: the tendency to swing between victimhood and spiritual arrogance. What does it really mean to evolve? How do we stay grounded in our humanity while remembering our divine nature? And why do so many of us judge ourselves for simply being human? In this episode, Liz explores: Why we were never meant to choose between being human and being spiritual.The subtle trap of spiritual arrogance—and how it can quietly disconnect us from ourselves and others.Why your daily spiritual practice isn't something you graduate from.The neuroscience of identity and how your subconscious shapes your experience of life.How judging your humanity blocks your next level of growth.The difference between remembering who you are and trying to become someone you're not.Practical ways to reconnect with yourself when life pulls you away from your center. This episode is a reminder that healing isn't about becoming perfect. It's about becoming present. It's about meeting yourself with compassion instead of criticism, choosing curiosity over judgment, and remembering that your soul has never forgotten who you are—even when you have. If you've been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you've somehow "fallen off the path," this conversation is your invitation to come home to yourself. Because maybe the goal was never to become less human...Maybe the goal was to become fully human while remembering you're divine. I'd love to hear from you! 👇 Comment below: What's been the biggest trap in your own personal growth journey?

✨ Why do so many women feel restless, exhausted, and disconnected from their lives, even when everything looks "fine" on the outside? Maybe you're not unhappy. Maybe you're not broken. Maybe you've simply outgrown the life you've been living. For years, many women become experts at holding it all together. Showing up, performing, people-pleasing, and carrying everyone else's needs. But there comes a moment when the question becomes impossible to ignore: 💭 What if this isn't as good as it gets? In this powerful episode of The Liz Svatek Show, Liz dives into the hidden reasons so many women feel stuck in midlife and why that feeling of restlessness may actually be an invitation to something greater. It's time to stop performing. It's time to stop settling. It's time to reconnect with the woman you've always been underneath the expectations. 🔥 This conversation could change the way you see your future. Join Liz for the Finding Your Diamonds Book Series!

Today, we tackle a common struggle that many women face: self-shaming. It's time to ask yourself, how's all that inner criticism working for you? Spoiler alert: it’s not! It creates exhaustion and disconnection from your true self. If you constantly criticize yourself, overthink everything, or guilt, blame and punish yourself this episode is for you. What if the problem isn’t your discipline, motivation, or mindset? What if shame is secretly running your life? In this powerful solo episode, Liz Svatek breaks down the hidden ways women use shame as a form of motivation—and why it never creates real transformation. Shame creates nervous system dysregulation and trauma responses that lead to perfectionism, procrastination, people pleasing, and emotional exhaustion. Learning how to dismantle shame is imperative because all of us have it! This episode will completely change the way you see yourself. After years of coaching women, studying trauma, Human Design, mindset, and nervous system healing, Liz shares the 6 highly conscious shifts that help women stop attacking themselves and finally start changing from a place of awareness instead of punishment. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why self-judgment keeps you stuckThe difference between guilt and guidanceWhy your patterns are not your identityHow trauma and nervous system dysregulation affect behaviorThe powerful question that instantly shifts shame into self-awarenessHow to stop trying to “fix” yourself and start understanding yourselfWhy highly conscious women choose curiosity over criticismIf you’ve ever thought:“What’s wrong with me?”“Why do I keep doing this?”“Why can’t I change?” This conversation is for you. Because healing does not happen through shame. It happens through truth, awareness, compassion, and understanding.

It's my birthday today! In this deeply personal birthday episode, I’m reflecting on some of the women who have inspired me over the course of recording this show—my She-roes. These are some of the conversations that stayed with me… the ones that cracked something open, shifted my perspective, and reminded me what’s truly possible. From healing and reinvention to navigating trauma, loss, and injustice—these women have walked through the fire and found their way back to themselves. And in this episode, you’ll hear the moments that matter most. You’ll hear stories of:✨ reclaiming your voice✨ breaking free from toxic patterns✨ turning pain into purpose✨ honoring legacy while creating your own and rising—again and again What I love most about this episode is that it’s not about perfection. It’s about truth. It’s about the messy, nonlinear, beautiful process of becoming. This is a celebration of women who chose to do the work—and the ripple effect that created.
