The Second Act: Crafting Your Legacy After 40 with Liz Svatek
In this episode, Tara Magalski sat down with Liz Svatek, a healer, mindset mastery coach, and rapid transformational therapist. Liz, the founder and CEO of Warrior Women Inc., shared her journey from being an actress and stand-up comedian to becoming a coach dedicated to helping women, particularly those over 40, navigate the unique challenges they face.
From Comedy to Coaching
Liz Swastik’s journey is a testament to the power of embracing change and following one’s passion. Growing up in New York and later moving to Los Angeles for her acting career, Liz’s diverse experiences eventually led her to the world of coaching. She combined her background in stand-up comedy with her coaching practice, believing that personal growth should be enjoyable rather than burdensome.
The Importance of Community and Collaboration
Liz emphasizes the significance of community and collaboration among women. She highlights her work with mastermind groups, which are designed to empower women to share their wisdom and support each other. This sense of community is crucial, especially for women over 40 who face unique challenges such as navigating marriage, divorce, and the changes that come with children growing up.
Join or Create a Mastermind Group: Surround yourself with like-minded women who can offer support and share their experiences.
Seek Out Mentorship: Find a mentor who can guide you through your personal and professional journey.
Midlife Calling, Not Crisis
Liz reframes the concept of a midlife crisis as a “midlife calling.” She believes this stage of life is an opportunity to discover one’s purpose and meaning. Women over 40 can start being more intentional with their time and reflect on what they want to achieve in the next chapter of their lives.
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)
Liz introduces Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) as a game-changer in the field of healing. RTT helps clients uncover the root causes of their feelings and behaviors by accessing the subconscious mind. This approach allows for quick and profound changes, often after just one session.
Explore RTT: Consider RTT if you’re looking for a fast and effective way to address deep-seated issues.
Engage in Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy can help you access and rewire your subconscious mind, leading to lasting change.
Meditation and Mindfulness
Both Tara and Liz discuss the importance of meditation and mindfulness in their personal growth journeys. Liz shares her initial resistance to meditation due to past trauma and how she gradually built a practice that works for her.
Start Small: Begin with short, guided meditations or walking meditations if you find it challenging to sit still.
Create a Sacred Space: Set up a dedicated space for meditation with elements that make you feel safe and comfortable.
Reframing Negative Thought Patterns
Liz teaches women that nothing inherently means anything unless we assign meaning to it. By reframing negative thought patterns and choosing empowering narratives, we can significantly improve our mental well-being.
Challenge Your Thoughts: Recognize that your thoughts are just options and choose to focus on positive, empowering ones.
Practice Neutrality: When faced with a negative situation, try to keep your interpretation neutral rather than jumping to conclusions.
Defining Your Legacy
Liz encourages women to think about the legacy they want to leave behind. Legacy is not just about money; it’s about the impact and influence you have on others. Healing your past is essential to understanding and creating a meaningful legacy.
The Ripple Effect of Healing
When women heal themselves, they create a ripple effect that extends to their families and communities. This collective healing can lead to widespread change and empowerment.
Share Your Journey: Inspire others by sharing your healing journey and the tools that have helped you.
Support Others: Actively support the healing and growth of those around you, creating a positive ripple effect.
Visualizing a Better Future
Liz emphasizes the importance of visualizing a future that doesn’t yet exist in your current reality. By letting go of the need to control everything and being open to the unknown, you can create a future filled with possibilities.
Practice Visualization: Regularly visualize the future you want to create, focusing on the feelings and experiences you desire.
Stay Open to Change: Be willing to pivot and embrace new opportunities as they arise.
The Limitless Program
Liz introduces her six-month program, Limitless, which provides participants with tangible tools and actionable steps for creating lasting change. The program includes unique tools such as humorous approaches to navigating challenging family dynamics and understanding one’s human design.
This episode of the Divine Lifestyles Podcast with Liz Swastik offers a wealth of insights and actionable advice for women navigating midlife and beyond. By embracing change, building a supportive community, and focusing on personal growth, women can create meaningful legacies and positively impact the world around them.
