Hello and welcome back to Dream Girl.
2
If you're new here, I'm Sheen, I'm your host, and today we have a very special guest.
3
I'm sure you've seen her unless you live under a rock.
4
Please join me in welcoming Liz.
5
Hello, Liz.
6
Hi.
7
How are you?
8
I'm good.
9
How are you?
10
Good.
11
You know, every time I want to say wizard Liz, because that's just how I know you.
12
I feel like people, they also say like lizard liz lizard the wizard that's very cool is
13
that where the name came from how did you come up with
14
that no the wizard liz was actually like i used to work in a restaurant as a student
15
and i remember like i was put behind the bar
16
because my boss was like let's put the pretty girl behind
17
it at first i was really not good at my job
18
but um so i was like i was working there
19
and then we had a client that came
20
and he he asked like for a drink
21
and i said oh you should try this one
22
and he said like well i would get anything
23
that you sell me because you're so magical like your ri is magical
24
and then i told him like well then i must be a wizard you know
25
and i was like joking about that and it never left my mind
26
so i was like you know
27
when i was doing social media the wizard liz okay well
28
i'm glad we found out the story behind the name but okay listen And for me, I've been following you since you started.
29
I remember the first time I watched your video and it went viral.
30
And as I was telling you beforehand, because I have so many friends who are in the YouTube world.
31
And I remember them saying, you know, we spend so much time making sure the audio quality is great.
32
The visuals are great.
33
The thumbnail is great.
34
And this girl came in and blew everyone out with the algorithm.
35
And everybody just loved you.
36
And I think it's also because of how raw it is.
37
It almost feels like you're telling me off when I'm watching the video.
38
I think everyone needs therapy.
39
I think they need therapy after my videos.
40
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're helping.
41
But I put up on my story asking people what would they want to hear from you, right?
42
And today we're going to cover a few things from, you know, the relationship with yourself, your relationship with your friends, with men or women in a romantic way.
43
But to start with, tell me what was for you a pivotal moment in your life
44
that pushed you to start this whole career? So a pivotal moment.
45
So basically my childhood was very bad.
46
Okay.
47
Like I think everyone already knows this, that I was physically abused by my father.
48
And I saw my mother get abused.
49
So it was like a very, very traumatic childhood.
50
And it's funny, like when my father decided to cheat on my mother, that was like the happiest day of me and my siblings.
51
We were like that monster is leaving our house.
52
We were so happy.
53
But it's ironic that when your abuser leaves the house and you finally have that freedom that you always craved, that you start abusing yourself.
54
Because that's when I developed bulimia, anorexia.
55
And these are all like forms of self-abuse, you know.
56
And when I looked at my siblings and at myself, I saw how we all handled everything differently.
57
Because the issue is not the abuse, it's the aftermath right it's how we feel afterwards
58
because now we have to realize that we allowed ourselves to get treated like
59
that and that this went on for so many years
60
and it's very uh hurtful to realize that
61
and then you go from all of that
62
which you've ever known the abuse to okay what do we do now
63
so who are we now actually
64
because we don't know who we are without it you know we weren't allowed to explore ourselves
65
so i feel like my life started
66
when my father cheated on my mother it finally started
67
and then that was the first moment in my life
68
that i could look at myself
69
and be like okay list what do we do now
70
and for me my biggest thing in life was always let me just make money let me get rich
71
because i can like at least i cannot heal my family
72
but i would be able to like afford a band-aid to put on top of like the wounds
73
that my father created and i kind of felt responsible for the hurt
74
that my family had been through i don't know why
75
but i felt responsible
76
so my whole life i was like okay how do i make money how do i make money
77
and the more like i was struggling also with my ed
78
and bulimia and when you're struggling with all these things all your energy is going towards
79
that and that's why i tell people
80
that are for example trying to lose weight let's say yeah
81
i had this conversation today actually with like a woman in
82
a store it was like she's like uh i love your
83
body like are you on a diet like what's happening
84
and i was like you know the moment
85
that i stopped wanting to lose weight is when i lost it
86
and i couldn't i like now whatever i eat i cannot gain it anymore
87
which is actually an opposite issue that's great yeah
88
but she i told her like
89
because i was in the same mindset of like putting all my energy i couldn't even create anything right
90
so i couldn't create business or anything
91
because all my energy was going towards food i wake up
92
i think about food i go to bed i think about food
93
because you know why i even feel like i got to eating disorder
94
because when you have a whole childhood where you never felt in control
95
that eating disorder of made me feel in control of something i can control what i eat
96
or what i don't eat and somehow i felt proud of myself right
97
but it was never about like the way i looked
98
because it was never skinny enough honestly i think it's a
99
form of like slowly taking your own life i call it you know
100
so when i when i removed the energy from the eating disorders
101
and i was like you know what
102
because this went on for two years like severe depression after my father left then i was like okay, let's change things.
103
How can I actually change?
104
Because I was so tired of blaming everyone or my circumstances.
105
And I was like, Liz, you need to start looking at yourself.
106
Because the reason why my life was like that was because of me and no one else.
107
I was abusing myself.
108
And it's like, I don't have anyone to blame.
109
Look, the thing is like, yeah, I had an abusive childhood, but what do I do next?
110
Do I continue being a victim or do I take my power back?
111
Because the more energy I put into hating my father means the more powerful he becomes
112
and I want that power I want to create you know what I mean
113
so I was like it's time for me to pull all the energy back to myself
114
and the only way you do
115
that is by taking responsibility for your life blame gives your power away
116
and responsibility gives it to yourself oh my goodness that was
117
so powerful again I felt I was just watching your YouTube video.
118
I forgot I had to ask you questions.
119
I was like, what?
120
I get so passionate when I talk.
121
You do, but I love it.
122
Okay.
123
Okay, one thing I want to tell you is your energy is infectious, right?
124
And I think you know that, but I get to experience it in person.
125
And it's beautiful, as you said, that, you know, despite all the terrible things that happened to you, which you didn't have a hand to play in,
126
but you've turned that into something beautiful.
127
And now you're helping everyone else around you.
128
And that's incredible and you've built such a beautiful life for yourself.
129
So you should be very proud of yourself.
130
Thank you.
131
That's what I'm trying to say.
132
I really appreciate that.
133
But also now, what would you say is any misconception that people still hold about you given what they see online?
134
I think they see a woman and they think like, oh, she's a narcissist.
135
That's what I hear often.
136
Or she's very toxic.
137
Her mindset is very toxic.
138
And it's like, I think people, they don't understand what narcissism actually is and an actual narcissist wouldn't act like a narcissist.
139
They act like the nicest person.
140
That's why women stay in relationships with narcissists for so long.
141
Right.
142
Because they don't understand what's going on.
143
A narcissist is not someone that comes on here and says, I am amazing.
144
I love myself.
145
No. That's just all like, that's too outward.
146
Narcissists are more closeted and very manipulative in the way they act, you know.
147
and I feel like once people see me, for example, and I post, let's say a TikTok yesterday, I post, I always get what I want.
148
The reason why I post this is
149
because I want people to look at the TikTok and read it in their head for themselves.
150
But I know what it looks like to others.
151
But at the same time, I think it's a good thing that people even blame me or be like, she's a narcissist.
152
She's too full of herself i think it was a good impact
153
because i think there's people watching me and thinking you know what she's
154
so full of herself and the way she talks
155
if she can talk like
156
that about herself maybe i can love myself a little they they become
157
so comfortable because i make them uncomfortable in the way
158
that i speak you know what i mean yeah
159
because they see this as the extreme it's like extreme yeah
160
but somehow it make it can make them confident
161
because like she can be that extreme maybe I can be like a little bit of
162
that like 10% of what she's saying you know what I mean no
163
but I love what you said about narcissistic people right
164
and I think that's again something
165
that a lot of people always ask me about I have also experienced it
166
but it's crazy how however smart you are however emotionally intelligent
167
you are as a woman especially how you get stuck in
168
that situation and what advice do you have for people to even
169
start to recognize that this is a toxic situation and this person might be narcissistic?
170
So I've dealt with narcissists in my life, a fair share.
171
First thing is a woman especially or whoever needs to listen to their intuition.
172
I feel like women have such strong intuition.
173
It's almost like our body and our soul knows that something is wrong before it actually happens.
174
For example, me, I see dreams about a person that I'm not meant to be with.
175
I see dreams about like leave or I see visions like leave and I don't listen because I think like I'm crazy.
176
I'm crazy.
177
But then until something happens where I'm like, oh, I knew that.
178
But I literally knew that years ago I could have prevented this, but I didn't listen to myself.
179
Right.
180
So intuition is very, very important.
181
You're not supposed to feel drained around a person.
182
You're not even a friend.
183
You're not supposed to sit with a friend and then come home and be like, oh, my God like I feel so bad
184
because a negative energy exchange has just happened right second thing is look at their actions
185
and not at their words and I keep telling people this
186
so I actually had this thing with like a place
187
that I always go to for lunch okay and there's like two waitresses
188
that work there and I absolutely love them okay
189
so they were telling me that the place is closing down
190
and new owner is now taking over
191
and their previous owner hasn't like uh given them a new contract nothing
192
so they are losing out on two months of uh money like yeah salary
193
so then what i did was i gave them
194
that two months of salary wow and then they were like um
195
and then they told me like i was asking them
196
because i want to help them with their job
197
and then they were telling me like no
198
but you know he's not a bad guy liz like our
199
boss is not a bad guy like he he's really like he says it in such a way
200
and i said uh-uh what did he do he doesn't care
201
about you guys i care about them yeah i care about them
202
and they're not they're not working for me
203
so it's like he should care about you guys you take care of the people
204
that you work for or that are in your life this is not normal
205
so i'm like don't listen to what he's saying look at what he's doing and so many women
206
because we get so sensitive and we love to hear things.
207
No, look at the way he's treating you if he's abusive
208
but tomorrow he tells you he loves you he's abusive he doesn't love you someone
209
that loves you wouldn't abuse you you know
210
and i i think like once you start to just look at people for who they are you know
211
when people become mesmerizing when you put your energy into them
212
so right now if i look at you i find you amazing okay i find you mesmerizing
213
but it's because we are exchanging our energy right now
214
but what if like for example i had this actually with a previous relationship of mine tell me
215
so i would think like look i've never been the person to go for looks
216
so i don't i don't care okay the way you look
217
i never really cared yeah i care more about intelligence
218
and the way you are okay
219
but the more the relationship developed i almost had like rose colored glasses on
220
and i found that whoa this person can manifest
221
so well whoa this person has become so successful all these things
222
and i was like oh this this person is amazing
223
and even i thought like oh
224
because of him i must be amazing i started giving him
225
all the credit right the minute i broke up with him
226
and i was like you know i'm done
227
and i called all my energy back to me
228
and i was like this is gonna end i saw him again
229
and i was shocked i was like there is no way
230
i was with this person no i literally saw him for the way he actually looked
231
and it's like my friends had been telling me liz there's no way
232
because he was not a good person either you know that's the main problem
233
but i was like i'm my energy made him
234
so magical to me and the same way like all the things
235
that i thought like he's so successful he's
236
so good at manifesting it stopped when i removed my energy
237
so a lot of people are dating people
238
and they put them on a pedestal but it's all
239
because of your energy they're like a lot of women for example men become more good looking more successful
240
because they're with that woman
241
and then the woman starts to think like oh he's too
242
good for me oh he's the uh-uh honey that's your energy
243
realize it you know no you know I actually had the
244
exact same conversation with a friend of mine where I was telling her
245
that I'm missing this guy who used to be in my life
246
and she was like but think about it
247
when you say he was funny it was you who was actually funny all the things
248
that you think you miss about him was just you being part of his life
249
that made him funny like that or make him interesting, make him, as you said, dress better or have more intellectual interest.
250
And you're like, that's so true.
251
Like it is because of us together.
252
But without me, he doesn't have all the things that I think he does.
253
Yeah.
254
So it's crazy that a lot of us, you know, this is what I love about women talking to each other as well, right?
255
Because I feel like we're all so different and so unique.
256
By the same time, we have such similar life experiences we do
257
which is crazy i can't like the way you were describing this whole scenario especially
258
that moment of clarity when you immediately switch it once
259
that clarity hits there's no going back the ick will remain
260
you're like there's no way like seeing your ex-partner the way your friends saw him i never want to see
261
that again the disappointment you feel i was like there's no
262
way you're like wait who was there who liked this guy
263
i was like there must have been magic on me there's no way it wasn't me it wasn't
264
that was that was not me it wasn't me i was under a spell it's okay
265
but okay now going back to a little bit around the same topic
266
so another question we got a lot of is now
267
that we're on the topic of men
268
and dating is you know nowadays i don't know
269
if it's the way society is evolving or the changes in gender roles
270
and traditional roles
271
but now you see a lot of women are very successful right women are becoming more
272
and more independent and very financially independent and therefore successful
273
and you get these women these what you would term like high value
274
which i don't really like high value women are the ones struggling to find a partner why do you think
275
that is i think because um a lot of men are insecure
276
and a lot of men take their value from being successful.
277
So when you take that away and you have a woman that is more successful for than you, that becomes a competition for them, you know?
278
And I think that's actually sad because I think people don't teach men to like, for example, be more in touch with their emotions,
279
develop other skills than just making money because then they can also get their value from those things.
280
But right now, because they put men on such a pedestal for so long, and they just poured into young men and whatever,
281
and women were just the housemakers, right?
282
Because they made that such a big thing.
283
Now you're sitting with all these men.
284
Yeah, they just know, okay, I'll get my value if I'm successful.
285
If I'm successful, I'm a good man.
286
No, like, look at your morals.
287
Who are you as a person?
288
Get to know yourself better.
289
And that's you built
290
that confidence a confident man will not get intimidated by successful woman never ever ever
291
but there's just not enough confident men no and even you know
292
when you look at masculinity
293
so that's one question we got for you actually from my audience
294
which was you know there's kind of like a rise in
295
like soft masculinity you know where i don't know you must
296
have seen all of these funny reels where you know it's
297
like men want the princess treatment now they they don't want
298
to be the first one to text they don't want to
299
be the one to pay the whole 50 50 situation
300
that is coming up but do you think
301
that is also causing an issue with men just like understanding their role
302
and their position in society now i think men have always
303
gotten the princess treatment always i think there has never been
304
another time the amount of standards men have for women is insane okay
305
but the minute you have a woman
306
that says like hey provide you know like take care of
307
me it's like no you're a goldiger how dare you say
308
that but how many men would date an unattractive woman exactly they wouldn't they just simply wouldn't okay
309
because they have that standard if you're unattractive i don't want to date you
310
but once a woman has a standard and it's like
311
if you're a broke guy and with broke guys i don't mean men
312
that are poor no i mean men that don't know how to create abundance and
313
that the that's a big big issue see for example for
314
me a broke man how i uh classified is like my
315
dad my dad refused to work he doesn't want to work
316
he doesn't want to figure out how to work he made my mom work her whole life
317
and she was taking care of him okay
318
he didn't respect himself
319
and he didn't respect my mother it was just not in balance at all
320
and my mom had to be hyper masculine to make up for the lack of masculine energy in the house right
321
now when you have that a person
322
that doesn't know how to be abundant that's a broke guy
323
okay it doesn't matter how much money he makes as long as he's trying that's an abundant man
324
because a lot of people they especially women they think like
325
oh i just need a rich man i've dated a very
326
wealthy guy probably the wealthiest guy i've ever dated he was not generous at all brokey yeah
327
so that's a broke man
328
because what do i have with you you're showing me every day how much money you're making
329
but what do i have with it what do i care how much money you make you know
330
so it's like um
331
that's like just the difference like
332
when a man doesn't know how to be abundant that's the big issue
333
so men wanting the princess even i think they always had that right
334
so it's like they always had a standard for women they always had like you have to behave like this
335
and blah blah and even like before
336
when women were supposed to be house makers there were
337
so many standards you're supposed to cook you're supposed to clean you're supposed to take care of the kids
338
and look good on top of that and
339
if you don't i'm gonna cheat on you and
340
if you do i'm gonna cheat on you
341
so it's like women had to accept that
342
but then you had women for example that have a platform like me
343
that came on and we're like stop accepting it
344
and it's like let's have standards you know let's have standards as a collective
345
and because of that yeah you have what you have right now
346
which is very successful woman because they started believing in themselves instead of a man
347
and chasing what they want
348
and being who they want to be instead of chasing a man
349
and like taking their value from being with a man
350
because that's also a huge issue
351
that women are facing you know they think like oh my god
352
if i'm not married by this age or
353
if i don't have children then i failed as a woman
354
but who said that society your parents your culture who said
355
that who set that standard for women who said that
356
if a woman has her period she's dirty she
357
that like that's dirty who said all these things
358
if men could get their period and could get pregnant we would not be able to meet their standards
359
they would have standards through the roof the like anything
360
that even is like um like tampons all these things it will be free it will be free yeah free
361
and they would have made like uh medic medicine
362
or something to solve like cramps to help them massage stools at work
363
yeah days off paid yes no for sure women would not be able to meet their standards no no
364
and And that's the thing.
365
I'm so glad you touched on this
366
because this this has come up many times in conversations with my guests on the podcast.
367
And even with my friends, I keep seeing this because now that women are getting in their mid 30s and late 30s, they're starting to worry.
368
And all of these friends that I have or even guests that I've met, one of them even said on the podcast that, you know, I feel like I have the villa that I always wanted.
369
I have my cars.
370
I have my six figure business and I sit in my house alone.
371
and now I'm thinking did I go wrong should I have
372
focused on finding a husband should I have focused on having kids younger
373
because that's when you are at your peak on the sexual market value
374
if you want to call it that
375
and now she's like now what do I do
376
and now I see this kind of like I don't know how to explain it other than passive depression
377
that is rampant around where you see all these successful women
378
who at the end of the day come home to a to like a quiet apartment
379
and they're sad
380
and they feel like they went wrong somewhere what would you say to these people i think
381
that the grass is always greener on the other side i know
382
that there's a lot of married women
383
that wish they could come home to an empty house i swear like they have glamorized having children
384
and married so much
385
and people don't see the behind the scenes they always like show you the pretty picture
386
but all the work
387
that is behind the scenes all the arguments all the compromises all the things
388
that cheating that happens
389
and then you have to think oh my god do i want to stay married
390
because i don't want to lose face in under you know in front of other people
391
so i just stay married with a cheating husband
392
and i just look nice in front of everyone
393
and then someone looks at them and think oh i wish i had
394
that no you don't you don't know what's going on in
395
someone's house behind closed doors you know my parents like everyone that knew them they thought like oh
396
father's a great guy such an amazing man such a religious man they would say you know behind closed doors
397
that was literally the devil himself you know you never know what is going on
398
so i would say never glamorize something
399
if i think right now about right now about having children
400
and a husband that's a huge responsibility huge i i rather
401
right now in this position of my life have my business make my own money
402
and be independent and whoever comes into my life they can add to it
403
but i'm not thinking like let me right now start a family
404
because i know that will take so much of my time and energy into the family, you know, if I want to raise it in a way that I would want,
405
which is with full attention and everything.
406
So it all depends on like, do you really want that?
407
Or do you want to create a perfect picture for society?
408
Because we have to really go back to the beliefs that we have, because why do we have that
409
because it's also it's not only women it's the same with men right yeah
410
if you don't get married as a man oh you're not
411
a man you're not you have to you're not a father
412
oh my god you're already late 30s you're not a father
413
it's like why push things upon people some people don't want
414
that that's okay some people do then yeah you find a way you date around you see does this match with me,
415
but don't do it because you feel like you're losing time.
416
Because I feel like everything in life comes at the right time, at divine timing, when it's meant for you.
417
When something is not meant for you, it will not happen, no matter what you do.
418
When something is meant for you, no one can take that from you ever.
419
It will come.
420
In the most miraculous ways, it will come.
421
So just let it go.
422
Women need to start letting stuff go.
423
that tell me how Liz no
424
that is the biggest thing look right before this was actually a month ago like one
425
and one and a half months ago I was
426
so obsessed with the outcome I became very masculine
427
because I like I didn't have like anyone supporting me
428
so I was like I felt like I was completely alone okay
429
so I was like oh my god I need to have
430
this I need to have this like I need to figure something out
431
and I was going crazy so I was like focused so much on my career and I was just
432
I was literally losing it.
433
Okay.
434
And then I went back home because mentally I was not doing well.
435
So I went back home to my mom and I went home.
436
And then the second day I arrived, I went to walk in nature.
437
And I always tell people, go walk in nature because nature is healing, right?
438
The trees, the plants, all these things, these are living beings.
439
I even tell people like, put your back or your hands against a tree,
440
it will remove any energy that's not serving you because that's how we work with each other.
441
But people don't know these things or they don't want to try these things.
442
So they don't get like really further in life.
443
Anyway, so I went and I walked in nature
444
and I started talking to God and I always used to do this thing a lot, like especially in the beginning of my career, like talking to God and having conversations like he's my best friend.
445
Oh my God, I see the same thing, you know?
446
We're going to talk about it.
447
Yeah, keep going, sorry.
448
So then I was like, I was walking in nature and I started talking to him and I said, God, like, I can't take this anymore.
449
Like, not like this.
450
I'm like, I want to do what I have to do on this earth and complete my mission, but not like this, not on my own.
451
And I feel very bad.
452
And I said, like, I don't want to live anymore.
453
And that was really my mental state.
454
Like, I don't want to be here anymore, but I'm not going to do it myself.
455
So you do it.
456
Okay.
457
You handle it.
458
You please take my life.
459
So I was like, I said that and then all of a sudden while I was walking, I heard like, wanting nothing gives you everything.
460
I heard that sentence in my head.
461
And then I kept walking and I started repeating it out loud.
462
I was like, wanting nothing gives you everything.
463
And then I understood, wanting nothing gives you everything.
464
I was too focused on, I need to have this.
465
I need to have fun.
466
I need to have work.
467
I need to have this.
468
I need to be bigger and bigger and I was too focused on them.
469
So what I realized was if I just let go of, I don't want anything anymore.
470
Like you handle it here, give it to God, you handle it.
471
You know, when I did that, everything I've ever wanted came and it came so fast.
472
Like these past one and a half months, my life has changed 360.
473
I've probably never been happier than I am right now.
474
Yeah, which is crazy.
475
But it was the minute I just let it go.
476
I was like, I don't care anymore.
477
And you know, this is, you can see it, for example, and you know why this is also the thing?
478
When you let something go, you take your power back.
479
You take your energy from that thing back.
480
Now, when you are too focused on things, for example, let's say you're obsessing over an ex, okay?
481
The minute you stop wanting that ex, all of a sudden he texts you.
482
All of a sudden he calls you.
483
He's now obsessed with you.
484
He comes back, yeah.
485
Why?
486
You took your energy back.
487
The minute you take back your energy from all these things and you are now whole by yourself, those things become attracted to you
488
and they want to be with you instead of you wanting to be with them because nothing likes desperation.
489
Desperation is a repulsive energy.
490
When you are desperate, you have a lack mindset.
491
You don't believe that this earth is abundant and this earth is very abundant.
492
God gave us everything.
493
This is another thing that people always tell me like, oh, how dare you?
494
You're asking for too much.
495
Oh, why do you want these things?
496
But there's billionaires on this earth like multiply multiple billionaires yeah
497
why can i not have even 10 of what they have
498
what does it matter money is is a is an abundant
499
source as well you know money gives you freedom that's the only reason why i ever wanted money for freedom
500
because i can go where i want i can do what
501
i want yeah i can help people in a way
502
that i want right so if
503
that is on earth why can i not have it
504
if god made this earth so abundant anything
505
that is on this earth i can have
506
and i will get whenever i think to myself okay i want
507
that but i just want it
508
and i don't focus on it like in a desperate way
509
but i know i have a goal in the back of my mind
510
but i'm not desperate for it right that's
511
when it comes oh wow okay i love
512
that also you know what you said about um what is meant for you cannot miss you
513
and what if it's not meant for you however hard you try you can't get it
514
i remember um i go by this thing
515
that i saw some some time ago
516
and it's really hard to remind myself of it
517
but i try you know when they tell you
518
that um god will never say no to you god only has three answers either it's yes not now
519
or i have something better so it's kind of like remembering
520
that whatever you're not getting in life is
521
because that's not the right thing
522
and again it's a very freeing thought right it's like there's
523
a bigger picture there's divine intervention there's no no need to
524
worry whatever is meant for you will find you um
525
but i like what you talked about in terms of letting go
526
and i think overthinking is a huge thing
527
that our generation does we carry it with us everywhere we keep trying to plan everything
528
and i think we didn't even learn from covid how overnight we were all in our houses nobody planned
529
that everyone's life turned upside down and i think we still try to overthink
530
and that overthinking kind of like takes away the joy of the present, takes away the joy of you being grateful.
531
And I think gratitude is also something we don't practice a lot of.
532
But now that we're on this topic, I want to ask you, I feel like all of this, the overthinking, the overanalyzing, holding onto things,
533
comes a lot of times from a place of lack of confidence, of self-love, because people don't really understand the difference between self-love and being selfish.
534
We always assume
535
that we should not take up space we should not talk about ourselves about our successes
536
so what like magical tip do you have for people in terms of how to build
537
that confidence muscle
538
so basically like I wanted to touch on the thing where
539
you said like uh they call self-love selfish yeah exactly
540
so in terms of that if you look at the way children have been raised it's always care for others,
541
do things for others, then you're a good person.
542
No one ever tells you to take care of yourself.
543
Look after yourself.
544
Oh, you can tell yourself you're beautiful.
545
Who tells you that?
546
No one tells that because then you're vain.
547
Then you're selfish, right?
548
Now, if you look at it in a broader picture, who does this benefit?
549
The people in power.
550
It benefits them that you don't believe in yourself, right?
551
Because if we have all these people that believe in themselves, how can you control them.
552
You cannot control people.
553
If I was, let's say, a person in power and I was like a bad person or I thought like, I just want to control people, I would make them fear everything.
554
I would tell them like, if you do anything, you'll go straight to hell.
555
I would tell that.
556
I would tell them like, care for others.
557
If you care about yourself, oh, you're a bad person.
558
I would tell these things.
559
These are very smart and manipulative things.
560
But you also have to realize it's manipulative.
561
You know, a lot of people also raise their children to not believe in themselves.
562
They don't even realize they do it, but they do it because they tell like, oh, if you did something for your sister, oh, then you're a good boy, good girl.
563
You did a good job.
564
If you did something for your classmate or friend, then you're a good person.
565
If you did something for yourself, no one no one applauds you for that.
566
No one says like, oh, wow.
567
So that's when the confidence you build it by applauding yourself for yourself, looking yourself in the mirror and say, wow, oh my God, you got
568
that new job oh you're amazing oh my god you're such a goddess talk to yourself that way
569
because it's so easy for everyone to talk about their friends like
570
that to talk about the people that we love
571
but then we neglect ourselves the most
572
which you are supposed to love yourself the most because
573
when you love yourself you are love
574
and you create love around you a person
575
that doesn't love themselves doesn't go out and is happy with everyone else that's just not it doesn't happen, you know?
576
So misery creates more misery.
577
So you have to take care first of like, okay, how do I feel?
578
How do I want to feel?
579
How can I do that?
580
And I think a big thing with confidence is as well, like create skills, become good at something.
581
Because a lot of people, they don't know how to do anything.
582
They don't want to learn anything.
583
And they're just blaming like, oh, I'm just insecure.
584
If you're just insecure, create something.
585
Then you can be confident about something and then
586
that translates to your inner confidence and the same way people say like oh yeah
587
but I'm just ugly look at ways to become more beautiful no
588
but you can change yourself no like and
589
but a lot of times they say like oh you should
590
also just accept yourself I don't feel like that's that's most the case
591
if I just accepted myself I would still be in my bedroom with my mom sitting there crying
592
if I just accept myself no I had to change things
593
and you have to be honest with yourself sometimes you are the devil
594
that you're trying to blame because everyone wants to say oh my life is bad
595
because of this i there must have been some magic in my life that someone did
596
no honey how are you acting how who are you allowing around you
597
because that is also a big thing for confidence
598
because it's like you have bad friends you have like a bad partner
599
that you're constantly allowing to abuse you to talk down on you you're abusing yourself
600
and you have to be honest with yourself once you set
601
that boundary of like you're not going to treat me like
602
that and you actually walk away watch how your confidence will skyrocket
603
because you made that decision to walk away
604
when someone tells you like no you shouldn't be saying anything
605
like for example i grew up with like my father saying
606
um a woman should never speak a woman should never have a voice i feel my most confident now
607
when i speak because i made that decision that my voice needs to be heard, right?
608
And that's the thing to be proud of.
609
So create things for yourself that you can be proud of.
610
Even helping someone out, like giving them something.
611
That's something to be proud of.
612
You did something good and then applaud yourself for it.
613
You studied, you had a great test or whatever result that you had.
614
Amazing.
615
Be proud of yourself.
616
Don't wait for other people to sit there and clap for you.
617
Clap for yourself first.
618
I love that. And
619
you know um i agree with you i think is the
620
worst advice we can give to people is just be who you are
621
because i think we can be a better version of who we are
622
and that's just the starting point
623
and who we are is as you said beautifully is a
624
result of what we grew up with what we absorbed growing up the society everything
625
and we need to shed these weights they're dead weight we need to shed them
626
so we can become truly who we are meant to be
627
and also i just want to touch on you talked about self-love and how if we don't love ourselves, we can't love people around us, which is so true because,
628
you know, even in the ads in the airplanes where they show you
629
that you need to put your mask first and then help people around.
630
Because what's the point if you just help everyone around and then that's it, you're gone.
631
That's not how it works.
632
And again, you've touched on that super, super nicely.
633
But another thing I want to ask you, you know, so this is a term I don't like as well, which is called imposter syndrome.
634
You know, a lot of people blame whatever they feel or the fact that they're not trying new things,
635
not stepping out of their comfort zone on feeling like an imposter and that they don't belong and they can't do it.
636
What do you think about that?
637
You know, I think in life you just have to do things and then it becomes.
638
So it's like this glass right here, someone imagined it and then they created it, right so if you imagine yourself as a version
639
that you want to be and you start acting like it that's
640
when it comes into the physical realm but it all starts here
641
so no matter who you are right now is who you are telling yourself
642
that you are yeah it's who your parents told you
643
that you are it's who society told you how you have to act
644
and how you have to be so who you are
645
or like just be who you are it doesn't make sense
646
because who are we at the end of the day i think we are just all souls on earth
647
and we don't know how to behave as humans we're just waiting to return back home
648
but we're here like okay what is this guys you know
649
but it's nice then i see life as a video game
650
i see life as like okay i can be whoever i want to be
651
because it doesn't matter at the end of the day i will never be who i fully am
652
because it will always be constructed by things around me
653
or people around me
654
because that's how we just are we're a soul not a human okay we're just here experiencing life on earth.
655
So once you accept that and you think like, what does feel most comfortable for me?
656
Who would I like to be?
657
Who would I be happy if I was this person?
658
Then you start acting like it.
659
You start acting like that person.
660
How would they act?
661
How would they dress?
662
What would they accept?
663
What would they not accept?
664
What are their daily habits?
665
And once you do something long enough, it becomes your life, right?
666
You do it something over.
667
If you're used to like going to gym every morning you wake up you'll have a fit body
668
because you're just always at the gym and it's not like a practice
669
that you always do right so you just start to you cannot be an imposter
670
when you understand that everything starts in your mind first that's just how life is even diseases
671
that we have physical diseases
672
that we create start first in the mind a lot of people they get like crazy illnesses
673
because trauma is stuck yeah a lot of stress and all these things but these are emotions.
674
It's all emotions before it comes into the physical.
675
So once you understand that, how can you be an imposter?
676
Because it just, it starts here.
677
You know, it's everything.
678
You know, they say the same thing about being delusional.
679
They say, oh no, you should not be delusional.
680
We're delusional every single day.
681
Every day we're delusional.
682
We wake up thinking we will not die.
683
No one is waking up today.
684
I'm going to die.
685
Today I will die.
686
No, no one.
687
Everyone believes that they will live on until it's your time, of course.
688
You know what I mean?
689
So you can be delusional every day in life, but not about the thing that you want.
690
That's like too far, right?
691
No, like once you understand this mind creates your whole, whole life, whole life.
692
Once you change the mind and once you change the things
693
that you think or you set a goal for yourself in like, this is the person that I want to be.
694
This is who I want to show up as in this human body.
695
Yeah, because it's like a game.
696
then that's who you become.
697
That's who you become.
698
That's how people will treat you.
699
That's how your surroundings will change.
700
That's how you will enter rooms that before you couldn't enter, because now you're just unlocking a new character of yourself.
701
It's fun.
702
Oh my God.
703
Yeah, it's like a new level.
704
Yeah, it's like a new level.
705
Oh, I like that analogy.
706
But okay, you also touched on this.
707
And before I forget, because your brain is moving so fast and I'm trying to keep up.
708
It's too fast.
709
every time you say something I make a mental note I want to ask her this
710
and then we've reached 10 later
711
but you know you talked about how even your surroundings right
712
and the people around you make a big difference there's this whole saying
713
that you are the average of the five people you spend most time with
714
but one thing I have experienced
715
and I'm sure you have given how how quickly your life changed as well is
716
that a lot of people you outgrow friends especially who were there in very good times
717
and I've been very surprised to see the how some friendships evolved
718
and some of them stayed very true with me throughout
719
but some people who were there in the trenches kind of like rooting for me hoping it will happen
720
but then when it happens they're not that happy about it
721
and they don't celebrate your wins how do you deal with
722
that well you know it's very logical that that happens because you're uncomfortable now yeah they don't want to be around you.
723
It becomes uncomfortable because now it's like you were in the same position as them once, right?
724
And you made it out.
725
So now that means these people have to look at themselves and only can blame themselves.
726
Now they cannot blame society.
727
They cannot blame the place they grew up in or whatever.
728
They cannot blame outside forces because you did it.
729
So it's like, oh, so I could do it too, but I didn't.
730
And that eats away at them.
731
And then jealousy gets created.
732
You know, I think jealousy is a good emotion.
733
Why?
734
Because it shows you what you want.
735
If someone is jealous of me, they just want what I have or they, what they think I have, right?
736
What the glamorized version of that is, but that's good.
737
So now you have a goal.
738
Take that jealousy, transmute that jealous energy into creating that because I'm not sitting here telling I'm better than you.
739
I'm sitting here.
740
You can do the same thing.
741
You know, I posted something yesterday on my TikTok and, um, it said like, it was like, I get anything I want, you know, like an affirmation.
742
And someone commented like, yeah, because you're a millionaire.
743
And I'm like, but I came from nothing though.
744
A few years ago, I came from nothing.
745
And I took care of my family's financial situation.
746
I built everyone.
747
And I made, even because I like became successful, my family believes in themselves now.
748
And they think like oh we can do whatever we want
749
because liz did it right so it's like don't look at my success
750
and be like oh
751
but you're here now three years ago i was just like you girl just like you literally yeah
752
so it's like yeah it's the same thing like take
753
that jealousy and start to look at okay how can i actually get what they want
754
if you're jealous of beauty
755
if you're jealous of whatever that's just what you want it's an indicator of what you want
756
because it's not about that person.
757
It's everything in life, what we experience is about ourselves.
758
We're thinking from our perspective always.
759
So anything, even someone says to you, it's like a projection of how they feel, right?
760
It's not about you.
761
So when you realize like, you know what, it's not really about me, but I hope you get what you want.
762
If someone is jealous of me, I send them like love and I say, I hope you get there because that's what you want, right?
763
Otherwise, why are you jealous?
764
I'm not jealous of, what's it called?
765
The people that climb the mountains.
766
Because I don't want to climb that mountain.
767
But I bet there's some people jealous that someone climbed that mountain.
768
That's what they want.
769
It's good.
770
Once you take that energy, instead of making it something negative, transmute it.
771
People create the biggest art when they're sad, when they're angry, when they're jealous.
772
They create crazy art, music, everything, like art pieces they create everything out of it do it
773
do the same thing oh uh yeah definitely i think the
774
main message is be inspired instead of like being jealous right see it
775
but don't demonize the emotion no
776
because everyone this is the issue with jealousy people think i'm
777
jealous i'm a bad person now you're not you just want
778
what they want then okay figure out how can i get there
779
if your friends were in the same situation
780
and you could get there they can get there too 100 they can get there too
781
but just have to think okay how can I do what she did you know no absolutely
782
but you know what I like about you Liz is how you are
783
so disconnected from whatever is petty you know you're just you've risen above
784
and you're just like this is I get the human nature
785
behind it I see where it comes from you are very good at recognizing what matters
786
and what doesn't and you you're good at choosing your battles how did you get to
787
that level of being like you know what i'm not gonna
788
sweat the small stuff you know uh thank you by the way
789
and then also i feel like ever since i was young i had
790
that quality so i didn't have time to be a child i had to grow up very fast
791
so i was like an adult since i was young i was like a mother to my mother okay
792
so because of that whenever i would like speak
793
or anything my mom used to call me like a lawyer
794
she's like you defend anyone you see their perspective from any person you see a perspective okay
795
which is not always a good thing
796
but I do I understand why someone did what they did I can get into their shoes
797
and I can almost feel what they felt when they did
798
that do I accept certain behaviors even though I understand no I can understand
799
that what you did was wrong but you also have to understand
800
that I will put my boundary here and be like you won't do
801
that to me ever again right so that's how I operate I'm like I can understand.
802
I can have empathy with you.
803
I can feel bad for you and think like, I'm happy.
804
I'm not in your position.
805
I'm happy.
806
I don't wake up a hater.
807
I'm happy that I think God, the biggest curse he gave was that making someone a hater.
808
Like imagine waking up thinking about how many people you hate or thinking about let's make him miserable, her miserable.
809
That's sad.
810
So I'm like, thank God that I'm not that person, but I can have empathy for you, but it doesn't mean that you have to be in my life though it doesn't mean
811
that i have to and i feel like giving them attention
812
or feeding into it
813
or let's say reacting to these things puts them in my life in my reality
814
but it's like you don't exist in my world
815
if i don't let you exist in it and that's it i have
816
that power so i don't let you exist
817
if i don't like you you know what i mean absolutely boundaries right yeah very important very important
818
but i mean i could speak to you for hours but we're running out of time.
819
I could speak to you for hours.
820
Thank you.
821
So what would you say is a parting message or any advice
822
that you would want to give to anyone listening to you today?
823
I would say like, really start believing in yourself and start believing in God.
824
I think to believe in God is to believe in yourself.
825
I think we don't ask God for enough things and we don't ask for big enough things.
826
You have to ask for the small stuff and the big stuff.
827
And I feel like once you have like lately I've been even closer to God
828
and I feel like the closer you are to God the higher your vibration raises
829
and that's how also the negative things
830
and the lower vibrational things cannot affect you because you're not on
831
that vibe you know what I mean so I think believe in yourself believe
832
that anything you want can happen
833
and will happen no matter how long it takes it will happen it just will
834
and you have to have that belief but Don't become obsessed with it.
835
Don't become obsessed.
836
You know, when people become obsessed with certain things, that's when they start to lose the connection to themselves.
837
When you become obsessed with money, you become obsessed with fame, you become obsessed with relationships, you start to lose yourself.
838
Always keep that connection with yourself.
839
And I think one of the truest ways of keeping that connection with yourself is keeping a connection with God.
840
I love that.
841
Thank you so much, Liz, for being here today.
842
Thank you so much for having me.
843
No, this was incredible.
844
And I wish you only the best.
845
And I can't wait to see how many more leaps and bounds you take online and with everything you do.
846
Thank you for helping all of us.
847
And thank you for this therapy session.
848
Thank you so much for having me.
849
I really appreciate you. Of course.

  2. 0.75배속으로 한 문장씩 섀도잉을 시작하고, 익숙해지면 보통 속도로 돌아갑니다.
  3. 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, cheat, jealousy, wizard 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
