Mischief Managed ✨🎭

21/01/2024

17 months….

That’s how long it has taken for me to feel like I’m on the “other side” of my postpartum journey

And even then, I don’t quite feel like I’ve arrived anywhere. It’s more so just a feeling of finally having my feet on the ground after free falling for a long time

Deeply changed and different than who I used to be, but somehow more connected with the parts of myself that have always been here

More myself, and less myself, all at the same time, and learning what the heck that means day to day

Because so much of me was shaken after becoming a mother. My relationship to everyone around me, to my body, to my mental health, to my past, to my future, to joy and peace and being alive….all shattered and put back together like the most exhausting jigsaw puzzle of my life

But what 17 months has taught me is that I cannot be so naive to think that I’ve figured anything out. I haven’t.

What I have found is the freedom of saying, loudly and boldly and with a silent “f**k it” at the end of the sentence: “I have absolutely no certainty about any of it”

At least, not in the way I used to think I did

17 months, and the only certainty I have is this:

Life will keep coming, and I choose how I respond to it

So consider this a shout out to all of the beautiful women out there who become mothers. I see you in your journey of shattering and putting yourself back together. Even as the instagram feed displays all the beauty of our kids, I see you beneath it, and how you’re holding yourself together on toddler scraps and dry shampoo and a prayer that barely rasps out on your breath before you pass out at night

You are the strongest goddamn thing that has ever lived. Period.

Let’s normalize teaching women about the shattering of motherhood so they can be better prepared for the puzzle pieces left in its wake ✌🏻

So excited to be back for a weekend full of talent and fun judging at the New Jersey Thespian Festival! 🎭

07/11/2023

It’s been a hot minute… 😂

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆’𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰’𝒎 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈:

1. It’s all just a beautiful theory unless it’s embodied

2. “Embodied” means existing within the luxuriousness AND the ache of being and still keeping your eyes (and nervous system) unflinchingly open to the present

3. Surrender to the fact that you’ll never know it all. And be weary of people who claim to. There’s a fine line between channel and ego.

4. Sometimes in order to become the main character of your own story you have to become the villain in someone else’s

5. Sometimes it’s not about becoming the villain, but becoming the village idiot, and this one is sometimes harder

6. There’s always truth on both sides, and the level with which we are able to see that is directly correlated to our self-awareness and healing journey

7. Mental health is a lot fu***ng messier than people on the internet make it look. Whatever your mess, you are not alone

8. There is still beauty. Even here. In the soft sunset that keeps you company while the tears dry on your dashboard

9. Go towards laughter. Go towards inspiration.

10. Stop looking for the path in which you will “win life” and remove suffering. Every choice, no matter how aligned for you, can come with sacrifice and grief. This is the price we pay when cashing in on our dreams

This whole journey has felt very much like slowly wading into the shallow end of a pool in mid-winter. But to my surprise, water is getting warmer. Gonna keep being gentle and slow with myself over here, and wishing the same for you 🙏🏻✌🏻

🎃 DIRECTOR’S NOTE 🎃

The Crucible - 2023 - Stone Church Players

………………………………………….

The Crucible is one of those shows that everyone reads in high school and so they think they know what this story is about.

I think this story is about a lot of things.

As a director, I always try to highlight the truth of a script - and the truth that kept coming to me was this quote:

“𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒍 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝑮𝒐𝒅".

Ultimately, witchcraft did not have to come to Salem in order for so many people to meet their demise.

The mixture of fear and moral superiority created by the institutions that led this town were enough to bring destruction and despair.

But again, another truth: that this did not come from people with evil intentions - that this all happened (this real life event of mass murdering women that 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 happened, mind you) was the result of people acting out of their righteous intentions.

The Crucible is so relevant to us now for this reason - because now more than ever, we need a reminder of the moral gray area that we all live within.

This show offers us a mirror into our humanity, but also acts as a bit of a cautionary tale - a reminder of how much harm can be done when we choose to fight for what we believe in by blindly persecuting what we don't understand.

In many ways we are still battling witch hunts, and I hope this production is a reminder that as we all go on fighting for what we believe is right, if we stop seeing people in their full humanity along the way, the devil has already won.

If you’re NJ local, come on out to see our production of The Crucible this weekend and next weekend!

I’ve taken a lot of time to incubate this because I’ve been scared of this looking like “giving up”….

But we aren’t giving up, fam. We’re shifting. And it’s FUN.

(And also I’ve grown tired of that people pleasing bu****it narrative, so if this does look like giving up to you, then love and light to you as you go on your merry way and I go on mine ✌🏻)

Here’s what I know for sure right now:

- My favorite part of my business has always been ceremony. I get so lit the F up by creating immersive experiences that allow you to explore yourself and transcend (hello theatre parallels 👀). So not only will I be doing more of this, but I’ll be doing it in a way that is insanely accessible, playful, and grounding for me as a healer.
- The rest of my healing work is in a cocoon phase but I know that if and when the time is right, I’m here to empower artists. LFG 🎨🎭🖌️🎶🎥
- I’m going back to school to get my M.A. in Arts Admin and I can feel all of the potential timelines unfolding. We will see where Spirit asks me to serve.
- I have accepted a position with a local regional theatre and I could not be more excited to be joining an organization that not only produces great work, but holds so many of the values I will no longer compromise on when looking for work. This community already feels so right.

I am immensely grateful for everything my healing work has brought me because I would not be here, I would not be a mother, I would not be the woman I am (and I LOVE her) without this work.

This motherhood portal has closed a chapter, dissolved a timeline, shifted my energy. It’s time to step into the new, which is also a returning to the ancient within me.

I am, and always have been, the artist. And it’s time for her to come home.

Love you all,
Liz 🙏🏻♥️

My little ray of sunshine is 1 year old 👼🏻🎂🎉

Aurora, watching you grow and learn these last 12 months has been the most humbling and beautiful experience of my life

You are so incredibly happy. It’s the first thing everyone says when they meet you. You have a sparkle in your eye that is infectious and you are so in love with being alive. It makes me fall in love with being alive all over again.

You love people. You wave to strangers across the street and smile at everyone you see. You bring people gifts of leaves and sticks on the playground. I watch you brighten complete strangers’ days all the time and it’s so obvious that this is what you are here to do.

You are SO strong it blows my mind. I remember in your first few days of life the doctors were using the words “failure to thrive” because of your weight. You sure proved them wrong. You love using your body and pushing yourself to go faster and bigger all the time. I can’t believe you’re already climbing stairs. It gives me some anxiety 😂 but I promise to keep nurturing this part of life for you.

You love being outside and in the ocean. You love animals. You LOVE food and are such an adventurous eater. You love music and singing and dancing.

Your version of giving hugs is touching your third eye to mine and my heart explodes every time.

You were named after the Goddess of the Sun and bringer of the light, and I don’t think we could have picked a more appropriate name for you.

Happiest first birthday, my sweet baby angel. You are more loved than I could ever put into words. Thank you for choosing us ♥️

Sometimes the most empowering thing you can do is to decide to do things differently

🔥You are allowed to want new things

🔥You are allowed to let go of dreams

🔥You are allowed to work towards new dreams

The true mark of healing is noticing these moments without judgment and saying yes to the next chapter

Your heart will let you know when it’s time

Be brave. Dance in the unknown. Step into what’s next.

Come alive 💃🏻

We all know what it feels like to reach a critical level with our mental and emotional health…

But what are the early warning signs we can look for when something is off?

Here’s the biggest one I’ve encountered:

✨Check your relationship with silence ✨

Do you always need to have music or a podcast on when you’re driving?

Do you keep the TV on for background noise constantly?

Do you create small talk just so you can fill voids of conversation with people?

Maybe you even need noise to fall asleep?

This can all be an indication that there’s a level of uncomfortability when you’re alone with your thoughts

Noise creates an escape. But silence is the portal where we can heal.

Nothing can heal without first coming to the surface - and if we never create space for it to bubble up, it will remain suppressed inside our bodies until we have no choice but to deal with it

If you notice yourself following this pattern, I challenge you to get curious this week

Be in silence. What comes up? Why are you running from it?

Therein lies a key to the next chapter of your journey

And if you accept the invitation, you can even stop that mental health pattern in its tracks before you reach a critical level

Happy meditating, and remember to love yourself through whatever comes up for you 🙏🏻♥️

There’s a difference between healing because you need to release what’s weighing you down and create space for life….

vs

Never taking a break from the healing because life won’t be good enough (or you won’t be good enough) until you get to a higher vibe

You don’t need another certification, babe. You need to learn to anchor in and BE HERE

Because isn’t that the whole point? Isn’t that why we’re doing all of this?

Oh how quickly I have seen (and experienced firsthand) the allure of the healing rabbit hole….

Social media makes it look so shiny and perfect, doesn’t it? Like there’s an expectation that you could actually reach a point free from hardship

Well, here’s the reality:

That coach you follow? They still cry alone in the bathroom on occasion

That healer you have gained so much wisdom from? They still doubt their messages sometimes

The inspirational people in your life? They have the ugly moments of trauma and conditioning exploding into their lives too, just like you

Myself EXTREMELY included in all of that

The last year has felt like the lifting of a veil for me. I’ve doubted and questioned a lot, and a lot of my perspective on this work and my business has changed too

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we don’t heal to reach some perfect version of ourselves and our lives

We heal because that is the thing that builds our self-trust

Because once you TRUST yourself to get through life’s s**t, you are untouchable

But that’s the point. Heal so that you can be here.

Not to heal so that you can use your ascension portal as glamorized escapism

✨ Big difference ✨

And I’m here to serve the people who are ready to BE ALIVE

So if that’s you, this is your sign baby. Hit me up. Let’s get you free, open, and alive 💃🏻🔥

More magic coming to my local peeps on Saturday 8/19!

The new moon energetically supports claiming intentions and initiating the manifestation process

And while I know all the hot button topics around manifestation like affirmations, vision boards, and journaling are all the rage….

If you REALLY want to be a magnet for your desires, that all comes from your energy baby ✨

In this New Moon Ceremony we will be journeying together in a transcendental Holy Fire Reiki meditation that will support aligning your energy to be a match for what you wish to call into your life

We will spend time in community opening and listening to the heart, and then let Holy Fire do it’s divine work 🙏🏻

Since these gatherings are always intentionally intimate, you will also receive some 1:1 reiki where I can get in touch with your energy and channel any messages that may support your journey!

And as always, my crystals and cards will be there for some added healing 🔮

Link in bio to sign up - spots are going fast so if you feel the pull, be sure to join ASAP!

This right here is the portal that I’m in 🌀

This past year has forced me to confront every aspect of my life

And as I inch closer and closer to alignment, what is no longer for me is falling away

And this process used to be one that I held a lot of anxiety about

What would people think of the decisions I’m making?

How does it look from the outside?

What if I’m making the wrong choice?

This era is dead for me, and I invite you to kill it too 🔪

Let’s step into the golden age of owning your choices and decisions

Let’s stop living our lives for others and living them for ourselves

I invite you to do the thing you’ve been putting off for fear of how it looks

We are meant to be fully expressed in this lifetime, not watering ourselves down for the sake of others

We are here to play BIG

We are here for passion, and love, and adventure, and wonder

Are you getting enough of those things?

If not, maybe it’s time to consider how and why you’re holding yourself back

This is the new paradigm. The one where we boldly move forward and stop looking back ✌🏻
