About Liz
Who I Am, Without the Roles
I’ve spent most of my life being “the mother” or “the healer,” but underneath all of that, I’ve always been someone who thinks deeply about everything. I’ve always wanted to understand the world — not just what people say about it, but what’s actually true inside it. I’m the kind of person who asks the questions people avoid, not to be difficult, but because my mind naturally keeps turning things over until they make sense. I’m curious, reflective, a little stubborn, and wired to figure out puzzles — emotional puzzles, human puzzles, life puzzles.
What Shaped Me
Raising my oldest son, Dustin, forced me to see the truth about systems long before most people do. I watched him get mislabeled, misunderstood, and pushed into boxes he never belonged in. Schools tried to crush him. Mental health tried to medicate him. Professionals tried to tell me who he was instead of asking him. And I pushed back, hard, because nothing about that felt right. That fight opened my eyes to how flawed our systems are — how they hurt people more than they help. Later, as I kept learning and questioning, I realized education, religion, psychology, politics — everything — was built on theories, assumptions, contradictions, and personalities, not truth. That cracked the world open for me.
How My Mind Works
I’m analytical, but not cold. I feel deeply, but I think even deeper. I want to know why things are the way they are, why we repeat patterns, why humans hurt the way we do, why systems fail us, why truth gets buried under roles and expectations. I notice things most people overlook. I question things most people accept. My mind is always searching, always turning, always trying to understand.
My Purpose Now
After losing my son Dylan, everything in my life shattered — not just emotionally, but structurally. It broke the version of me that was performing roles and brought me back to the person I actually am. Dylan believed I had something worth saying. He believed I should share what I’ve learned. And now my purpose is simple: to help people feel less alone, to give them language for things they’ve been carrying, to say the things people think but don’t say out loud, and to help others see that there’s nothing wrong with the way they think or feel. I’m not here to inspire or impress. I’m here to tell the truth.
What I Want People to Feel
I want people to feel connected. To feel understood. To feel relief that someone finally said it. To feel permission to be themselves. To realize they don’t have to fit into a world that was never built with them in mind.
The Thread That Ties It All Together
Everything I’ve lived, everything I’ve learned, everything I’ve questioned, and everything I’ve lost comes back to my children — Dustin and Dylan. They shaped how I see the world. They shaped how I understand humanity. They shaped my voice. And now all of it — the podcast, the writing, the vision, the movement — comes from the same place: a life that taught me the truth through experience, not theory.
In the End
I’m not a guru, a therapist, a teacher, or a brand. I’m just someone who has lived a complicated life, learned a lot from it, and wants to share those insights so other people don’t feel so alone in theirs. This is simply me — curious, honest, reflective — telling the truth as I’ve come to understand it.
