When you start to believe in themagic of you, you become it.
This is your invitation to heal and rise above into the fullest
expression of you. This is the Liz Swaddock Show
(00:25):
and your transformation starts now.
Let's begin. Hello.
Today is a very special episode and a milestone in my own
personal journey. Today is a celebration because
after years of healing, hundredsof conversations, and one
(00:46):
massive leap of faith, my book is finally here.
Finding your diamonds. Heal the girl and the warrior
appears. It's officially launched into
the world. So today I'm not just here to
talk to you. I'm here to wake something up in
you. Something that maybe you felt
(01:07):
flickering for a while now, something that's been
whispering. There's got to be more for me
than this. Because this is not just a book.
It's a rallying cry. It's a torch passed to every
woman who has ever whispered. Is there more?
Because guess what? There is, and I wrote a whole
damn book about it. Finding Your Diamonds, Heal the
(01:31):
Girl and the Warrior Appears is officially a bestseller.
I know women everywhere are feeling like I'm feeling.
And I wrote this book just for you.
This book is a mirror, a permission slip, an invitation.
It's your reminder that you are not too late, you're not too
much, and you're not too far gone.
(01:53):
You're right on time. But let me tell you something.
I have to be real with you. This book almost didn't happen.
There were doubts, delays, chapters I rewrote again and
again. There were moments I asked
myself who am I to write a book.But then I remembered I'm the
(02:14):
woman who woke up one day numb and exhausted and said not
anymore. It ends with me.
And now I know I'm not the only one.
As I read the reviews on Amazon,I can see you've been following
the rules, carrying the weight, doing the shoulds and the musts.
And somewhere along the way, youlost yourself.
(02:36):
This book is your path back not to who you were, but to who
you're meant to become. Are you exhausted from playing
small? Waiting for the quote UN quote
right time to finally choose yourself?
Feeling stuck between who you'vebeen and the woman you know
you're meant to become? Well then, this book is for you.
(02:59):
Finding Your Diamonds invites women from every walk of life to
stop waiting. Waiting for permission, for
clarity, or for someday, and start boldly reclaiming their
power right now. I don't offer magic formulas and
I don't sugarcoat the truth, butI do offer is raw honesty,
(03:22):
fierce compassion, and just enough humor to remind you that
healing doesn't have to be heavy.
Inside this book, I share my ownjourney from boxed in and burnt
out to a woman who finally aligned with her deepest
purpose, her joy, and her voice.I'm going to read a little
(03:42):
excerpt for you now. Wine nights had a rhythm.
Complaints, laughter, more wine,maybe some gossip and unspoken
and an unspoken agreement that no one really told the truth.
But one night, between refillingglasses, I said, Do you ever
think about what's next? Like when the kids are older?
(04:05):
I mean, what do we actually wantto do with our lives?
The room went silent. One mom stared into her glass
like it held the answer. Another shifted uncomfortably in
her chair. Someone let out a forced laugh.
Oh my God, Liz, can we not? We're finally relaxing, Said one
of the moms I wasn't very close to.
(04:26):
And just like that, the moment passed and my heart deflated.
Someone made a joke about husbands who couldn't find
anything in the fridge. Someone else talked about a new
workout class that was supposed to change everything.
The conversation slipped back into safe territory.
Like my question had never happened.
(04:48):
I smiled, took a sip, laughed atthe jokes.
But inside something cracked. Because if I had to cover that
question with another joke, if Ihad to shove my truth back down
with another sip of wine, what else was I avoiding?
And that's when I noticed that Iwasn't just holding my tongue.
I was holding my breath again. This book is my soul reaching
(05:13):
out to you. Finding Your Diamonds is part
memoir, part how to guide and 100% soul level reinvention.
This is a story of healing my little girl and watching the
warrior rise. It's packed with stories, tools,
and real talk about what it means to reclaim your life after
(05:35):
40. The how behind my own healing
journey. Because in this new era of
midlife, we are not shrinking, we are expanding.
We are not fading, we are rising.

self doubt, tired of always putting everyone else before

yourself, or just aching to feelwhole and fully you again, then

woman who's been buried under all the rolls, all the shoulds,
