My name is Elizabeth. Some people know me as Liz, some as El. It depends on when you met me on my journey.
I am your Transformation Teacher.
Many years ago, my emotional and mental energy tanks were depleted.
I felt like I had nothing left to give in many areas of my life.
Most days, I was running on fumes, emotionally exhausted, & was just getting by. I wasn’t showing up in life in a way that felt good.
I was snappy at home.
It was a frustrating place to be because I wasn’t depressed, I just lacked pure joy.
I felt like I lost who I was.
So, I did a crazy thing and I went on a journey to find me.
Some people do their best thinking in the shower, I do mine in the car, so when someone suggested a road trip to clear my head, I thought it was brilliant.
I traveled across the country from my home state of WI to Nebraska, Colorado, to Arizona. I read and journaled, trying to connect with myself.
I was learning to listen to my heart, connect with my spirituality, release control, and allow myself to be guided.
After a few days in Sedona, AZ, I decided to cross New Mexico to go to Texas, because what do you in New Mexico?
Driving through New Mexico, I experienced one of the most transformational days in my life. I saw the sign for Truth or Consequences. Something inside me said “Go”.
I did something different. I released control and listened to the pull and got off the highway.
Arriving in town, I was chatting with a shopkeeper who suggested I check out the hot springs. I again released control and allowed myself to be guided. I asked her where I should go.
She said her favorite was Blackstone. So I went to Blackstone.
I had the most amazing soak. As I was leaving, the owner said she was born and raised in the area and she’ll never leave, but when they want to get away, they go to the big city of Las Cruces or to the mountains of Silver City.
The mountains of Silver City stood out to me, so I surrendered and listened. I drove to Silver City. As I was driving through this long, snake-like town, I said, "Okay, Universe, I have no idea what I’m doing here, please help me”. I drove through the part of town with the Walmart and fast food chains, through the older part with all the small businesses like insurance agents, and then I hit the old artsy district. Stopped at a stop sign I looked out my window and saw a brewery.
I knew that what where I was supposed to go.
So I parked and went in to have lunch. My server told me that many people, even famous people come to the Gila National Forest – to soul search.
He mentioned the Faywood Hot Springs. I was going to need a place to stay for the night, so I looked them up and unfortunately, they required a two night stay. I only wanted to commit to one. I went to another hotel and check in did not go smoothly; I saw that as a sign of resistance.
I walked out, called Faywood and asked if I could stay for one night.
They said Yes!
That night, I soaked in a private hot spring bath under the pitch black sky of New Mexico. I still get goose bumps every time I think of the experience. I have never seen so many stars in my whole life. I stayed another night.
And Authentically You was born.
Looking back, I can see that not everything in my life was out of whack and sucking me dry. I just didn’t know how to decipher the difference or that there even was a difference. I’ve been all over the country and have talked to so many women who also feel like they have lost who they really are.
For the last 15 years, I have built my skills and coaching experience through my Health Coach Certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, years of leadership training in my old career, and the thousands of hours learning from books, podcasts, and courses.
When my life crumbled around me. When everything I thought I knew about life collapsed around me.
I used these same tools I teach to put my life back together.
I use these tools every day taking this incredibly hard, yet most rewarding journey ever called life.
And, not just any life. A life I love.
This is what Authentically You Coaching is all about. Navigating the journey.
You learn the tools, resources, and lessons that empower you to navigate and embrace being Authentically You.
It's time to take back your health, your life, your joy, your happiness.
It’s time to start choosing big instead of choosing small.
The choice itself is equal. The results are not.
