Hey Reader,
Have you ever felt like you’re going off the rails… again? Like you’re caught between who you’re supposed to be and who you actually want to become?
This week’s conversation with Liza Kindred felt like a permission slip to exhale.
Liza is a writer, spiritual teacher, and author of Eff This Meditation who walked away from the fashion tech world and hustle culture to help others return to themselves. And she describes herself as “retired from ambition”—which sounds wild until you hear what she really means.
In our conversation, we chatted all about
redefining ambition: Liza’s mantra is “let me be medicine.” That’s her North Star. Not climbing ladders or crushing goals, but living in alignment with her values and moving the world toward one she actually wants to live in.
breakdowns as breakthroughs: She quotes Marianne Williamson: “A mental breakdown is an underrated method of spiritual transformation.” When things dissolve, they leave room for something new to emerge.
protection rituals: In our current timeline where everything feels sped up and intense, Liza emphasizes the importance of boundaries and protection practices especially for empathic people and women who’ve been socialized to manage everyone else’s emotions.
This conversation is tender, honest, and a little rebellious. It’s for anyone who’s questioning the traditional path, feeling the weight of external expectations, or wondering if there’s another way.
As always, thank you for being here and for creating space to listen,
Roberta
