You can’t build a solid foundation by covering cracks with pretty wallpaper.

In this episode, I dive into the hard truth of alchemy: there are no shortcuts. Just like renovating a home, you can’t bypass the structural work and expect the walls to stand. You can paint, you can decorate, you can make it look beautiful on the surface — but if the foundation is unstable, it will all eventually crumble.

We have to work in way that is sustainable. In a way that the work we do will stick. If we try to move too fast it may not be sustainable. It may also cause more harm than good.

Build your foundation so that whatever comes next will have a safe and solid place to land and build from.

Healing works the same way. Band-Aids can’t hold forever. Affirmations won’t hide avoidance. Spiritual bypassing isn’t freedom — it’s delay. The work of becoming who you’re meant to be isn’t always easy. It requires honesty, pain, patience, and radical self-compassion. But the reward? True freedom.

In this episode, we explore:

Why fast doesn’t always mean forward

The possible issues of bypassing pain in the name of progress

Taking the time to rebuild yourself from the inside out

Understanding that shortcuts cost more in the long run

Finding freedom on the other side of doing the real work

This is an invitation to slow down. To go deeper instead of faster. To lay the foundation for the life, the self, and the becoming you’ve always deserved.

If you want me to go deeper into topics like this, please let me know. I love hearing your thoughts and feedback.

Thank you for being here with me. Thank you for spending your time with me. I don't take this lighting as time is a precious resource we can not get back.

Sending love to those in need.

With Love,

Lizzie
