Hot take: we’re holding on to way too much — in our minds, our bodies, and our souls — and it’s draining us. In this episode, I share how the yoga principle of saucha (cleanliness + clarity) can guide us to clear space so we can breathe easier, feel a little lighter, and actually enjoy the moments that matter. Let’s release what no longer serves us and make more room for connection, joy, and love.Connect with One Love Collective &Learn More About Liz at:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lizamys.onelove?igsh=b2I2cnFnbHcybzJw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/onelovecollectiveus⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.onelovecollectiveus.com
We’re diving into whole-being and conscious living in this episode — not as another “self-care” checklist, but as a movement of women choosing to live, love, and care with intention.It’s about living in alignment with what feels true for each of us— supporting each other, slowing down, and remembering that when one of us heals, we all rise.Listen in for real talk, inspiration, and a gentle reminder that living consciously isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection, awareness, and love in action.Learn more about One Love Collective &Connect with Liz at:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lizamys.onelove?igsh=b2I2cnFnbHcybzJw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/onelovecollectiveus⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.onelovecollectiveus.com
In this heart-opening episode, Liz shares a personal story of loss and what it’s teaching her about change, surrender, and the quiet courage it takes to let go.
