The Liz Svatek Show

What if everything we were taught about midlife was wrong?
What if midlife isn’t a crisis, but a calling?
In this episode, we dismantle the outdated narrative that women are meant to sit down, be grateful, and stop wanting more in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Women today are not aging the way our mothers did, and this changes everything.

If you’ve ever felt restless, successful-but-unfulfilled, or wondered “Is this all there is?”
GOOD! You’re waking up.
We explore:
Why 50 is truly the new 40

Why the “midlife crisis” is actually a call for more

How this season brings wisdom, boundaries, and self-trust

Why women are choosing peace over performing and self- trust over approval

This isn’t the beginning of the end.
It’s the beginning of your most sovereign chapter yet.
And yes…
Your mother might be confused.
But deep down? She’d be proud. 💎

What happens when life asks you to become someone you never planned to be?
In this powerful episode of The Liz Svatek Show, I sit down with Leeza Gibbons; Emmy Award winning talk show host, New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most trusted voices in American media, for a deeply human conversation about caregiving, identity, love, and legacy.
When Leeza’s mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, everything changed. Instead of disappearing into the role of caregiver, Leeza made a radical choice: she transformed her pain into purpose. From that lived experience, Leeza’s Care Connection was born — a lifeline and community for families navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia.
This is not a surface-level conversation. It's a lifeline.It’s an honest, soul-level reckoning with what it means to love deeply without losing yourself.
In this episode, we explore:
The emotional reality caregivers rarely say out loud

The hidden grief, guilt, and exhaustion so many women carry

Why self-care isn’t selfish — it’s survival

How caregiving can become a portal to meaning and legacy

What happens when identity cracks open in midlife

Why community heals what isolation never can

If you are:
A caregiver

Supporting a parent or loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia

Living with burnout, guilt, or overwhelm

Or navigating a major midlife transition

…this episode will meet you exactly where you are — and remind you that you are not alone.

✨ This conversation is an invitation to soften, to reframe, and to remember:Legacy isn’t something we leave behind someday.It’s something we live — one choice, one act of care, one moment at a time.

If your life looks good on paper but feels MEH, this episode is for you.
In this powerful episode, Liz breaks down the 5 subtle signs you’re living in a disempowered state.
Empowerment is a state of being — and most women were never taught how to access it! We don't know how to show up for others and for US.
Liz shares how disempowerment quietly creeps into the lives of women over 40 through over-giving, people-pleasing, constant busyness, emotional exhaustion, and waiting to feel “ready.” You’ll learn why this isn’t a personal failure, it’s a predictable outcome of decades spent prioritizing everyone else.
Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
• Why empowerment is a nervous system state, not a mindset
• How being “nice” can actually drain your power
• Why boredom, restlessness, and numbness are signals — not problems
• The real reason you feel disconnected from what you want
• Why clarity comes after commitment, not before
• How midlife is not a crisis — but an initiation into your next era
This episode is both a wake-up call and a relief. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re not ungrateful.
You’re ready.

Because empowerment isn’t loud.
It’s calm.
It’s sovereign.
And once you feel it… you’ll never abandon yourself again.

Human Design Predictions 2027 Part 3: The Sleeping Phoenix
This isn’t just another year.
This is the beginning of a new era.
In Part 3 of this powerful Human Design series, Liz Svatek breaks down the once-in-400-years global frequency shift unfolding in 2026 and accelerating in 2027 — and why women, especially women over 40, are being called into leadership like never before.
If you’ve felt restless…
If old roles no longer fit…
If the “good girl” version of you is quietly burning down…
You’re not falling apart.
You’re waking up.
Through the lens of Human Design in 2027, Liz introduces the archetype of The Sleeping Phoenix — a symbol of initiation, embodiment, and rebirth. This is the era where women stop waiting to be chosen, stop outsourcing authority, and start leading from truth, intuition, and lived wisdom.
This episode isn’t about hustle or manifestation hacks.
It’s about identity, initiation, and legacy.
What the Sleeping Phoenix era means in Human Design

Why women ages 40–70 are the natural leaders of this new frequency

What the death of the Good Girl really looks like (and why it’s necessary)

How global collapse mirrors personal initiation

Why self-trust replaces external authority in the new era

What shifts accelerate in 2027 — and how to prepare now

How healing the inner little girl unlocks embodied leadership

The world is changing — not into chaos, but into truth.
And the women who have done the inner work are being called forward to help build what comes next.
🔥 This episode is your reminder that:
You are not late

You are not broken

You are not “too much”

You are being activated.

If life feels like it’s accelerating…
If the structures you depended on suddenly feel unstable…
If your intuition is louder than your logic…
You’re not imagining it.
In Part 2 of this Human Design series, Liz Svatek explores 2026 as a bridge year — a powerful transitional space between the old world and what’s coming next.
Bridge years don’t arrive to punish us.
They arrive to initiate us.
This episode explains why so many women feel restless, untethered, emotionally honest to the point of discomfort — and why that’s not a breakdown, but a recalibration.
Through the lens of Human Design, Liz breaks down what’s really happening as we approach 2026, why old systems are flickering out, and how this collective shift is asking women to stop outsourcing their power and start trusting themselves at an entirely new level.
This is the year where:
clarity replaces confusion

emotional truth becomes non-negotiable

intuition outranks conditioning

identity begins to reorganize

Why 2026 is considered a bridge year in Human Design

What it means when old structures begin to dissolve

Why intuition and emotional intelligence become essential now

How identity, relationships, and careers naturally shift during transition years

What happens when you cling to the old vs. align with what’s emerging

How to prepare your nervous system and decision-making for what’s ahead

This episode is a reminder that the chaos you feel isn’t random.
It’s directional.
And the women who slow down, listen inward, and clean up what no longer fits will be the ones who thrive — not just survive — in the years ahead.
🔥 2026 isn’t here to break you.
🔥 It’s here to reveal you.
If life feels louder, faster, or more honest than ever…
You’re not behind — you’re being initiated.
This bridge year is asking you to:
stop outsourcing your power

clean up relationships that drain you

trust your body and intuition over fear

✨ If you want guidance through this transition, Limitless is where we do this work deeply and safely — nervous system, identity, leadership, and legacy.
