Liz Life Guru
I’m Liz Reed, a licensed psychotherapist, author, and chef. I have a long history of working in addiction and the mental health field. From addiction facilities to psychiatric units and private practice. I’m also in recovery from alcohol for the past 20 years. Liz Life Guru is a podcast designed to help people with mental health and addiction issues. This is an action-oriented show that helps the listener understand the dynamics of their issues. This is achieved through education, personal experience, and science-based evidence. Broken down in honest easy-to-understand language. I feel that there is a method to “the madness”, and that a good laugh can cure many ills. There is hope for everyone with the proper support and guidance. I will help you to create a journey through life that is your own, one that you enjoy, not one you have to white knuckle through. Life should be ever evolving and interesting. Don’t stay stuck. You’ll be able to relate to the many stories and descriptions of how mental illness, trauma, and addiction shape who we are. I’m here to make sense of the senseless. I’m a problem solver and a life changer. Join me for a unique look at what’s bugging you. Namaste

Have you ever been in a relationship or had a friend in one that wasn’t exactly reciprocal? You would be surprised how many people stay in dead-end relationships, hoping for the other to change. To see the light and suddenly decide that you are the one they have been waiting for! Nope, it doesn’t happen, if it does, it's rare.
In this podcast, maybe you’ll see yourself and your place in your relationship. We’ll break down what makes a relationship, when to stay, and when to go. There is someone out there for you, but it may not be the one you have been wasting your time with… Chins up, and let's take a peek into the mind of the person you think you love.

One of the biggest parts of addiction is the manipulation of the addict toward family and friends. This is a chemical reaction from the brain and also a learned behavior. Many people who find themselves trapped in the life of the addict have no idea how to get out.
In this podcast, we will examine how the mind works for the addict—the need for instant gratification and the manipulation that goes along with it. I'll help you to recognize and work your way through to a better outcome for you and the addict. So, stay tuned and get out your pen……I'm here to help!

This is a shit show.
This is a time to heal. For many of us who did not vote for Trump, we were blindsided and sickened by the results. This is a time for feeling your feelings and not for healing. In this show, we will go over how we all feel. You’ll better understand that it will take time to make sense of this. We simply can't just move on. We need a plan and some sort of understanding. My hope hashing some of this out will help in the long run. Take the time to listen, vent, and talk.
Namaste

I’m not a religious person you may say, but I’m curious about what comes next, or I need something to believe in. We have all had these moments and we feel that it’s an all-or-nothing topic, whether you're a churchgoer or an atheist. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In this podcast, we will chart this course for what it can be, peace. Please take a listen and a deep breath as we broach this sensitive subject …

Having a child is a bigger decision than getting married. Who you have a child with is far more important than who you marry. In my travels and relationships, I decided that having a child wasn’t part of my life decision. This was further complicated by years of problems from endometriosis. Deciding and being ok with having or not having children can be complicated and stressful. In this podcast, we will review the dynamics and thoughts leading to this difficult decision. So, tune in and pay attention this could be you.
