Untame Yourself: Reconnect to the Lost Art, Power and Freedom of Being a Woman
Untame Yourself is about bringing women home to themselves in a grounded, practical and inspirational way centered around the belief that, “Everything you’ve ever needed has always been inside of you." It’s about getting out of your head and into your body, creating better boundaries and using discernment. I write about not only relating to yourself in a more loving, peaceful and powerful way, but learning to communicate with others from a place of compassion with an open heart for more positive outcomes, greater intimacy, and deeper connection. Finally, the book also teaches you how to balance, integrate and harness the often unknown or misunderstood gifts in both your masculine and feminine energies.
After being a personal trainer for years and teaching women how to work out, I realized the importance in my own life and that of clients of working in. That inspired me to create Wild Soul Movement in 2013. From there through my blog, a Facebook group with 3500+ members, YouTube videos, free online challenges, paid programs, courses, coaching, and a podcast, I became intimately familiar with the struggles of 21st century women.
Some of those struggles include:
- lack of trust, a need to control everything, and exerting an exhausting amount of force, effort and energy to make things happen all the time.
- body images issues ranging from never feeling comfortable in your skin to intense eating disorders and chronic self-loathing.
- terrible boundaries, incessant people pleasing, putting yourself last and the stress, resentment, low energy and even illness that comes with it.
- highly unsatisfactory relationships in all categories, romantic, family, professional, and friendships.
- shame, low-self-esteem and harboring secrets, or emotions you don’t feel safe to share with anyone—for fear of being judged, abandoned or labeled as “crazy”, “bitchy”, “high maintenance” or “needy.”
We live in an odd time. Western women, especially, have every right and capability of western men and that’s confusing. We’ve been cultured and conditioned to behave, basically, like lovelier versions of men—which often leaves us burned out, resentful, stressed to the max, and sometimes, in identity crises, totally disconnected from our bodies, our souls, and the truth of of who we really are.
Untame Yourself is the guidebook I wish I’d had several years ago when I began the process of awakening to who I really am and developing a personal relationship with my own femininity. I’ve filled its pages with practices, tools, advice and stories to help you have an easier, more graceful experience than I did. I also aim to save you the time of figuring much of it out as you go as I did, too.

When your neighbour asks you to order a book and you decide to just read it before they do.
Nothing groundbreaking here.

I really liked the book, but it seemed more like a compilation of best practices, not really ground breaking innovative. I did appreciate Liz's writing style, and I love listening to her podcast!

Immediately effective. A life changer.
I started putting some of the embodiment principles in this book to work right away and it helped me break through struggles in both my long distance relationship with my boyfriend as well as my relationship with my father over the holidays. I can't wait to continue digging deep into this material. The resources are excellent and the Facebook group is very active. This book is a gem. This is the first time that any Kindle book has inspired me to leave a review. I chose 5 stars because there was a lot of great info, insights, and exercises, and because i found nothing actually wrong with the book. Structurally it flows, it's not too rigid, but there are check points and summaries throughout that revisit and add additional structure to the points. There is a good balance of anecdotes, information, and exercise. Best book for women I've read besides The Multi Orgasmic Woman. A life changer.

Actionable and powerful. The copyediting and formatting in this book make it more difficult to read than I would like. However, if you can look past that, Elizabeth DiAlto's action steps, thoughts on womanhood, and light shine through.

A wonderful book for the current place in my life!
I appreciate words and wisdom that LIZ shared. As a person coming to a place of personal understanding this book provided further confirmation, so on time!
