Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto

How do you improve communication in relationships—especially in midlife? What does it really take to choose connection over being right? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I'm joined by Verónica Márquez for a powerful conversation on midlife relationships, emotional maturity, and communication skills that deepen trust and intimacy. Verónica shares a transformative three-month experiment in her marriage where she practic...

In this episode, I'm reflecting on what it means to return with more clarity, more honesty, and a deeper relationship to midlife, creativity, integrity, and being human. After years of personal recalibration, I'm looking at the strange split happening in culture right now: the pull toward natural, authentic, embodied living, and the growing pressure toward artificial desire, engineered beauty, fame, optimization, and endless self-i...

I'm back! After retiring the podcast in 2024 and fully believing that chapter was complete, I've returned to Embodied with more clarity, tenderness, and truth than before. In this welcome-back episode, I'm catching you up like an old friend. I talk about the last two years of deep integration, moving home to New York City, reconnecting with Brooklyn, understanding my ADHD and neurodivergence more deeply, and letting go of identitie...

Telling the truth is the ultimate act of love, even when it hurts or is unpleasant. Fear and discomfort often hold us back from fully embracing truths. Truth telling requires courage. Today, we dive into the nuances of accessing and embracing your truth. I also share some truth of my own that I recently came to terms with, which while uncomfortable, is a relief to acknowledge and share with this community. 

Today, we explore the beauty and pleasure of self respect and its role in cultivating personal growth, fulfillment, and healing within yourself and your relationships. We examine self respect through the lens of The Erotic Priestess archetype, who embodies respect, reverence, and divine communion, serving as a guide for integrating spirituality, sensuality, and sexuality into your holistic human experience. 

Today's episode is a deep dive into The Sovereign Queen archetype and how embodying it can bring about so many things, from integrity and humility to emotional maturity and generosity. We also explore the true meaning and potency of the words "sovereign" and "queen." 

Throughout the episode, we dive into the distinction between perfectionism and having high standards and unpack some of the roots of pe...

Everyone has an inherent capacity for art and expression and every artist is a mystic in their own way.

In the School of Sacred Embodiment, we believe that the gift of grace is not only something we can muster but also, in its highest form, a divine force.

Throughout the episode, you will hear personal anecdotes and beautiful st...

So often, boundaries are misunderstood as a negative form of control rather than a structure that invites self-awareness, establishes healthy relationships, and highlights our true passions. In today's episode, we dive into the significance of anger as a source of information that reveals our boundaries, needs, and the necessary steps in our healing journey. 

Plus, we explore The Warrior Goddess arche...

This week's episode is an invitation to recognize and honor your unique medicines (which may reach beyond how you've thought about "medicine" before).

As we explore the concept of "your medicine," I'm encouraging you to ask yourself what it means and where it lives within you and offering The Medicine Woman archetype to help. I explain how this archetype embodies alchemy and provides guidance for navigatin...

She's 71 years young and still on her healing journey, inspiring women aged 50 and above...

It's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed when witnessing the atrocities currently unfolding in our world. It's also easy to give in to external pressures, like those on social media, and conform to expectations that encourage us to mistreat each other. In this episode, Elizabeth dives into performative activism, platform policing, and embracing the sacred power of curiosity. 

She also discus...
