E86: Whole Self Leadership: Reflections on Liz Watt

Hello, Compassionators.

Welcome to this edition of the Infuse Compassion podcast.

So glad to have you back with us.

Thank you for listening.

And I hope you all had a chance to listen to our conversation last week with Liz Watt.

Liz is somebody that I've known for a couple of years now.

and really incredible background and incredible story that centers around wholeness and healthiness, but goes deeper than that too.

It's not just on the external or just not from a health standpoint, but a whole life standpoint.

And she shared with us this wonderful framework that she calls THRIVE.

So if you haven't listened to that episode, please go listen to it and listen to Liz take you through each of the THRIVE steps.

She uses that as an acronym.

And she'll give you some really good tips and background through Thrive.

Amy, I'm curious as to what stood out from you in our conversation with Liz last week.

Yeah, you know, and it's what I said to her off camera, right? So when we were finished with our conversation, and this always happens, we always get a few minutes after to talk with our wonderful guests and What I said to her was, you know, you are really doing your life's work.

You really are.

And you finding your life's work was your commitment to connecting with yourself.

And that's not always easy.

It's not always easy to sit and be present, to look yourself in the mirror, and no matter everything that you know about yourself, to find a way to see love, to love you for all of your stories, some that are so wonderful and you're so proud of, and maybe some that aren't yours, but were put on your plate and therefore became yours.

And it's, It was so beautiful to just hear her commitment to herself because her commitment to herself is what made her whole aspiration of showing up for other people possible.

And so much of the time we skipped, we skipped to, I want to help others.

I want to help others, but we don't take the time to do our work, our work.

So I can see you've got something to jump in on Mark.

Yeah.

That was one of the things that stood out for me that I noted as well is that she had that prompting.

That was the way she put it.
