The secret to feeling better about yourself and your body is encoded in your DNA 🧬

Did you know this...?!

The famous cherry blossom study in 2013 showed that anxiety and trauma can be passed down through multiple generations via epigenetics.

Neuroscientists at Emory University taught mice to fear the smell of cherry blossoms by associating the scent with mild electric shocks.

When they bred these mice, the researchers found the offspring became fearful when they were exposed to the smell, despite never receiving the electric shocks their parents experienced.

They were even born with more neurons in their noses and space in their brains devoted to cherry-blossom-smelling.

Similar results were then found in their offspring.

We are the product of multiple generations of trauma and anxiety, just like the mice in the cherry blossom experiment.

Only ours isn’t caused by electric shocks; it’s the stories we've been told and sold about our bodies and what is and isn't possible for us.

The fact that you're reading this tells me you’re probably done with playing small in your life, being plagued by anxious thoughts, and are ready to actually feel good in your body.

If so, my new book, Reclaim the Witch: Unlock Your Power. Remember Your Magic. Love Your Body, is for you.

When you pre-order your copy of Reclaim the Witch, you'll also receive TWO ancestral breath work journeys (worth $58) as a gift from me to you so that you can heal your intergenerational traumas and step into feeling good about yourself and your body in a safe and supportive space.

To claim this bonus gift, head to www.reclaimthewitch.com to get your copy of Reclaim the Witch. ​

But before you go and do this, I want you to fully consider how your life (PLUS the lives of all the generations that follow you) will change as a result of you taking the brave and bold step of freeing yourself from fear.

Pretty mind blowing, right?!

If you're ready to gift this incredible feeling of joy, peace and possibility to yourself and your family, head to www.reclaimthewitch.com

You get to be the homecoming queen this year. Here's how...

Full disclosure; I'm English so have never experienced homecoming in the traditional sense.

All I know about is the homecoming that really matters; the one where you come home to yourself.

Where you re-member who you are.

Where you reclaim the pieces of yourself you have tried to disown,

Where you care even less about being judged by others and instead lean more and more into what you need to feel nourished - in every respect.

For years I hustled to be society’s version of ‘successful’.

I jumped on every nutrition and workout fad.

I shamed myself for my appearance.

I people pleased.

But then about two years ago things really started to shift for me.

I started asking myself how it would feel to:

Silence my inner mean girl and rebel against diet culture,

Honour when my body wanted to rest and have that extra square of chocolate,

Embrace the witchy side of myself,

...And lo and behold, my life transformed.

My energy increased and my sleep improved (no more waking up several times in the night and feeling exhausted throughout the day).

My skin had a dewy glow and my natural periods resumed after 12 years of being on hormonal birth control.

I started to feel more inner peace and calm even when my outer world was at it’s craziest.

From this came a burning desire and sense of responsibility to share my knowledge and tools with other women so that they can experience their own re-membering.

So that they can learn how to trust themselves and their bodies with food again.

So that they can break free from the endless cycle of cravings, dieting, deprivation and hunger.

So that they can slow down, take a breath and actually enjoy life without exhaustion or overwhelm.

So that they can manifest the health, wealth and relationships they desire.

This resulted in my books, Reclaim the Rebel and Reclaim the Witch, where I share proven tools and vulnerable personal stories to help you experience a homecoming like none other; one where you always get to be queen.

When you're ready to experience this for yourself, head to www.reclaimthewitch.com to pre-order your copy of Reclaim the Witch: Unlock Your Power. Remember Your Magic. Love Your Body.​

Here's to you, queen!

Lizzy

P.S. When you pre-order Reclaim the Witch, you'll be receiving the full royal treatment. As my bonus gift, you'll get TWO ancestral breath work journeys (usually $58) with my good friend and Shamanic Practitioner, Sand Symes, so that you can heal ancestral patterns and stories that no longer serve you and clear the way for your own personal homecoming.

The dirty secret of functional medicine

The other month, Gemma (who's name I have changed here to protect her privacy), came to me feeling exhausted and was experiencing an upset stomach. She wanted this to stop but was confused because nothing had changed in what she was eating.

When I dug a bit deeper, I discovered she was taking over 60 pills daily under the advice of a functional medicine practitioner.

I instantly knew what to recommend.

Within days of going cold turkey on the supplements, her symptoms disappeared.

If you're like my client, Gemma, you're also probably wasting your hard earned cash on supplements.

Because, the truth is, most healthy people typically don’t need supplements so long as they’re eating a balanced diet.

For starters, your body utilizes nutrients from food more efficiently than it does from supplements.

Then there’s the fact that the supplement industry is unregulated, the quality of supplements varies greatly, and there’s just so much out there to choose from. Think of it this way; if you’re confused over what foods are beneficial for you, how confusing is it to figure out what supplements to take?!

The functional medicine industry profits from this fact.

Look, I’m not saying that supplementation is never useful.

However, please don’t ever fall into the trap of feeling like you need to take a whole medicine cabinet just because the holistic health world tells you to.

I highly encourage you to give yourself time to consider what it might look like instead to trust your body’s own wisdom when it comes to providing the nourishment it needs.

If you’re ready to discover how to nourish your body so that you can reach your goals without taking a ton of supplements, head to www.reclaimthewitch.com to get your copy of my new book, Reclaim the Witch, where I walk you through the exact system I use with my clients to help them glow from the inside out.

To your new found health (and wealth)!

Reclaim the Witch: What this REALLY means + why it matters to you...

Reclaim the Witch: Unlock Your Power. Remember Your Magic. Love Your Body.

Nowadays, the word 'Witch' has so many negative connotations, doesn't it?

In contrast, 'goddess', 'higher self' and 'divine feminine' are banded about on social media to market products and programs because they represent softer, more 'desirable' feminine qualities.

But 'Witch'?! It's a word that has darker and less 'desirable' associations, such as being 'bad' and 'ugly'... thanks, Hollywood.

In fact, once upon a time, the most powerful women were witches. And these women were celebrated.

Reclaiming the word 'witch' and who she represents is long overdue in my opinion.

If you agree and are ready to unlock your power, remember your magic and reclaim your inner witch, my new book is for you.

Reclaim the Witch is a step-by-step guide for women that takes you by the hand and lovingly walks you through this amazing journey.

It's not a self-help book. (Because let's face it; who wants another one of those?!)

It's an invitation to come home to yourself and your own body's wisdom, using a collection of tools you can experiment with so that you can reactivate your magic in a way that feels good to you.

If you and your inner witch feel called, head to www.reclaimthewitch.com to pre-order your copy of Reclaim the Witch now...

PLUS I might just have some surprise bonus gifts for you when you pre-order...

More on that coming soon.

In the meantime, go get your copy now, Witches!

How to love your period

A long time ago in a forest far, far away, women gathered to celebrate.

They lit candles and sat together in a ceremonial circle under the new moon.

What were they celebrating?

Their period.

It was considered a sacred time; every month women bled in sync with the new moon and during this phase of their menstrual cycle they had heightened intuition and could communicate more closely with the divine. These 'Witches' were revered by the whole community.

That was in the BP (Before Patriarchy) days.

Afraid of the power these women held, Patriarchal systems and structures began to systematically cull 'Witches' and feminine symbols, including '666', were demonised.

Women were forced to turn against one another and turn away from their connection with the moon, her cycles, and their cycles (including their menstrual cycle).

Instead of celebrating it, most women now curse this 'time of the month' as one big bloody inconvenience.

We hustle on through 'do do do-ing' on ourselves despite being curled over with excruciating cramps, all whilst feeling uneasy about that square of chocolate we've constantly craving.

Not only is our health suffering (fertility and reproductive issues are at an all time high, and women come to me on a daily basis burnt out and exhausted);

We don't feel whole.

As a result, we turn to social media, food and alcohol, shopping and personal development programs trying to find the answer to what we're missing.

And when we don't?

We move on to the next thing.

Maybe you can relate.

Honestly, I was the same until I realised what I really craved was the connection I'd lost with my body and the cyclic feminine powers held within her via years of societal conditioning, BS (beliefs and stories), and self-abusive behaviours I thought were helping me to 'succeed' in my health, career and relationships.

Over the last couple of years, I've met so many high-achieving women just like you and I who feel like something is missing, who deeply long to reconnect with the magic held within our incredible female bodies.

That's why in my new book, Reclaim the Witch (due to be released in October this year), I discuss how to connect with your cyclic powers so that you can step into your most magical self and truly learn to love your body - yep; even your period.

What AI can't do...

'Have you ever heard of Chat GPT?'

In February, I was casually browsing the wine section our local store (ya know; as you do) and I noticed a 'vegan wine'.

Until then, I'd just assumed all wine was vegan-friendly so, naturally, I wanted to know more.

The sales assistant promptly whipped out his phone and showed me how this new form of artificial intelligence could literally tell you anything about...well...anything in a matter of seconds!

Chat GPT efficiently and eloquently told us how animal products are usually used in the fining process of wine-making. Vegan wine on the other hand doesn't use these products.

Since then, it seems like AI has exploded!

From my hairdresser using it to write a letter to excuse himself from dury duty to my entrepeneur friends using it to create content for their blogs.

Initially, I was impressed but also scared.

That's because, as someone who loves to write, my ego felt treatened. I could hear her wailing; 'You can't compete with something as powerful as this!'

That's when I realised something so profound...

I have an ego. I have human experiences. AI does not.

Our power is in our emotions and stories and the ability to vulnerably share them.

Yes; AI may feel like magic. But is regurgitating information really that magical?

I'd argue that the real magic is within us, our bodies and our experiences.

And that's exactly why I wrote my new book, Reclaim the Witch; so that I could vulnerably share my story and experiences with you and provide a step-by-step guide that takes you by the hand and lovingly shows you how to unlock your power, remember your magic and love your body.

If you're interested in learning more about and getting your hands on this very human book, it's now available for pre-order!

If you've been in my community for a while, you'll know I'm super passionate about rebelling against systems and structures that disempower us.

My question to you is: Will you rebel with me? Will you remember your magic? Will you remember you are magic?
