Self-love isn’t just about how you feel about yourself—it’s about whether you can rely on yourself.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores the often-overlooked foundation of a healthy self-relationship: self-trust. Not dramatic promises. Not hype. But the quiet, daily ways we either keep or break our word to ourselves.

From staying up later than you intended to saying yes when you meant no, small moments of self-override slowly erode trust. And when self-trust weakens, anxiety, overthinking, and second-guessing often fill the sp...

Last week, we talked about checking in instead of checking out. But once you slow down and actually check in… you might notice something else waiting for you.

A voice.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores the subtle but powerful way we speak to ourselves when no one else is listening. Not the dramatic self-doubt moments—but the quiet impatience, the internal sighs, the “you should be further by now” thoughts that shape the atmosphere we live in every day.

In busy, emotionally full lives, many of us have learned how to check out—scrolling, staying busy, or pushing through—without realizing how disconnected we’ve become from ourselves and the people we care about.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores the power of checking in instead of checking out, and why this simple shift is an act of both self-love and relational care. When we pause to notice what’s happening in our bodies and nervous systems, we’re better able to respond with hones...

There’s a moment that often comes with greater awareness—and it’s rarely talked about. Instead of feeling instantly better, you may feel heavier, more sensitive, or more aware of patterns you used to move past without noticing.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores why awareness can sometimes feel like falling behind—and why that interpretation couldn’t be further from the truth. Becoming more conscious of your habits, reactions, relationships, or inner dialogue doesn’t mean you’re late to your life. It means you’v...

There’s a season we don’t talk about enough—the in between.

Not the beginning, where things feel exciting and clear.
 And not the ending, where everything makes sense.
 But the space where you’re no longer who you were, and not yet sure who you’re becoming.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre reflects on what it means to be in that middle space without rushing to fix it, define it, or push through it. When habits feel inconsistent, relationship...

January often arrives with urgency—pressure to decide, commit, and make big changes right away. But what if the most supportive way to begin a new year isn’t with force… but with gentleness?

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre invites you to consider a different approach: letting the year begin softly. Instead of rushing into plans or expectations, this conversation encourages you to slow down, listen to your energy, and allow clarity to emerge in its own time.

A soft start doesn’t mean y...

As the new year begins, many of us feel pressured to create resolutions—big goals, strict plans, and rules for who we’re supposed to be. But what if there’s a simpler, more supportive way to move into a new year?

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores why choosing a Word of the Year can be more powerful—and more sustainable—than traditional resolutions. Instead of focusing on outcomes and perfection, a word becomes a filter for daily life, helping you move with...

We often talk about health as if it’s something we either have or lose with age—something shaped mostly by genetics or luck. But what if health is less about chance and more about stewardship?

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre reflects on the way we normalize decline as inevitable, instead of recognizing how much influence our daily choices actually have over how we feel, move, and live—now and in the years to come. This conversation isn’t about perfection or fear; it’s about re...

Every year, we look back and say the same thing: I can’t believe how fast that went.

But while a year may feel like it passes in a blink, it’s actually built slowly—day by day, choice by choice, in moments that often feel too small to matter.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre reflects on how meaningful change is rarely created through big, dramatic moments, but through quiet, consistent actions taken over time. This conversation is a gentle reminder that you do...

At some point in adulthood, many of us quietly stop doing the things that once brought us joy—not because we no longer love them, but because life got busy, responsibilities shifted, or we told ourselves that chapter had closed.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre reflects on what it means to return to pleasure without pressure or expectation. Inspired by her own experience of reconnecting with something she once loved, Elizabeth explores how joy doesn’t disappear—it waits. And how revisiting something familiar doesn’...

We live in a world that encourages us to immediately identify with what we feel.

If you feel anxious, you assume you are anxious.
If you feel overwhelmed, you assume something is wrong.
If an old emotion shows up, you assume you’ve taken a step backward.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre offers a different perspective—one rooted in emotional awareness and identity work. Feelings are real, but they are not identities. You can experience an emotion without becoming it, reac...

Have you ever been surprised when an old trigger suddenly shows up—especially when you thought you’d moved past it?

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores why familiar emotional reactions tend to resurface when we’re emotionally taxed—not as a sign of failure, but as a signal that our capacity is lower. Healing doesn’t mean triggers never appear again. It means learning how to notice them without getting emotionally pulled into the story they want to tell.

As the year comes to a close, it’s natural to think about fresh starts, new habits, and what we want more of next year. But sometimes the most powerful way to begin again isn’t by adding something new—it’s by letting something go.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre reframes decluttering as an act of self-respect, not a productivity project. This conversation goes beyond cleaning out closets and drawers and invites you to consider the mental, emotional, and energetic clutter you may be carry...

So many of us approach change backwards.

We wait to have the result before we allow ourselves to do things differently… and we wait to do more before we believe we can be someone new. It’s exhausting—and it keeps us stuck.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores the simple but powerful Be / Do / Have framework and how it connects to identity work and sustainable change. This conversation builds on themes from recent episodes about pressure, effort, and self-trust—showing...

What if the thing you think is “broken” in your life… isn’t broken at all?

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre shares a simple, real-life moment—buying a new hair straightener that kept pulling her hair—and the insight that followed. The tool wasn’t the problem. The pressure was.

By gripping too tightly and trying to control the outcome, Elizabeth realized she was creating her own frustration. And it sparked a bigger reflection on how often we do this in our lives—tighteni...

Ever feel overwhelmed and you’re not even sure why?
 Sometimes it’s not the big life events that drain us — it’s the quiet, piling-up things we avoid, delay, or push aside.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre shares a simple moment from her own life (a laundry basket full of clean clothes that never gets put away) and unpacks the deeper patterns behind it: unfinished cycles, emotional pileups, mental clutter, and the invisible weight of all the things we start but never close.

In this short, honest episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre shares something surprising she noticed after a difficult couple of weeks: her brain automatically found the good.

Not because the circumstances were easy.
 Not because she forced positivity.
 But because gratitude had finally become part of her wiring — a quiet resilience rooted in practice.

This episode explores the moment you realize inner work is actually working, how gratitude becomes a reflex over time, and why this shift is a powerful sign of emotional evolution.

As the year winds down, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush—finishing strong, planning ahead, juggling everything and everyone. But here’s a truth worth pausing for: what’s always on the line isn’t your to-do list or your goals—it’s the quality of your life.

In this reflective episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre invites you to slow down and check in. Through the lens of gratitude and intention, she explores how to protect your peace, appreciate the season you’re in, and design a lif...

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a skill.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores what to do when you want to feel grateful but just… can’t. You’ll learn how your brain is wired to focus on what’s wrong (and how to gently rewire it), why small moments of awareness matter more than forced positivity, and simple ways to reconnect to gratitude in real, grounded ways.

If life feels heavy, this is your reminder: gratitude isn’t about pretending. It’s about noticing w...

Life can get heavy—and sometimes, we’re the ones adding the extra weight. In this short and soulful episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre invites you to explore what it really means to choose ease.

What if the hardest part of living in alignment isn’t clarity—it’s courage?

We talk a lot about balance—but what if wellbeing isn’t something to achieve after the work is done? What if it’s the way we do the work?

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores the real meaning of wellbeing in leadership and life. From avoiding burnout to modeling calm and compassion, she shares how the energy you lead with—at work, at home, or within yourself—creates the culture around you.

Loss has a way of changing how we see time. It makes everything sharper—the moments we rush through, the words we didn’t say, the way we keep waiting for “someday.”

In this reflective episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores how easily we postpone what matters most while waiting for life to “settle down”—and why that perfect time never really comes. Through personal reflection and practical wisdom, she shares how to honor time as a gift, realign priorities, and start living on purpose now, not later.

Most of us treat wellness like extra credit—something we’ll get to after work, kids, and responsibilities are handled. But here’s the truth: wellness isn’t optional. It’s the foundation that holds everything else up.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre unpacks the invisible costs of ignoring your wellness, the incredible ROI of small daily choices, and the three bare-minimum “foundation bricks” that support your energy, mood, and long-term wellbeing: rest, fuel, and movement.

Life always offers us two ends of the stick: our highest self and our lowest self. Both are within us, and both are available in every moment. The question is-which one are you holding?

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores the image of duality shared by a fellow wellness practitioner: no matter how many times you cut the stick, there are always two ends. Just like the pendulum that swings between good times and hard times, life will always move. The choice-and the growth-comes in how...

We live in a culture that praises being “unbothered,” but what if that’s just the surface-level version of freedom? In this episode, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre takes a deeper look at what it really means to let things go.

Drawing inspiration from The Untethered Soul, she explores how old feelings, hurts, and memories can resurface—not because you haven’t grown, but because you’re still releasing them. Sometimes it takes months, years, or even decades to truly let go. And that’s okay. That’s not failure—it’s your pathway to freedom.

Have you ever felt like you’ve outgrown the version of yourself you’re living right now? Maybe what used to light you up doesn’t anymore. Maybe the roles you’ve played-mom, partner, professional-feel too tight. Or maybe you’re just ready for something new, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

Here’s the truth: you’re allowed to become someone new.

 We’ve all said it-“I’m just not a morning person.” Or maybe your version is “I’m terrible with money” or “I could never run a 5K.” These little phrases might feel harmless, but they’re sneaky-they keep you stuck, reinforcing a story that doesn’t have to be true. In this playful but eye-opening episode, we’ll explore how these limiting labels shape your identity, why they feel so hard to shake, and how to start rewriting them into something that works for you, not against you. You’ll walk away with simple, bare-mini...

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. In this episode, we explore the many ways healing can show up-emotionally, physically, relationally, and even in the quiet corners of your identity you’ve outgrown.

We talk about what it means to recognize the different parts of you that may be carrying pain, protection, or outdated beliefs and how to meet those parts with compassion, not shame. Healing isn’t just about looking back; it’s about building a new path forward. One that feels like you. One that invites joy, wholeness, and possibility.

You already know how to do hard things-just look at your life. You juggle schedules, run a household, meet deadlines, care for others, and show up (even when you’re exhausted). You’ve built discipline in ways you probably don’t even recognize.

In this episode, we flip the script: instead of trying to “fix” what feels hard in your wellness, we look at what’s already working in your life and learn how to borrow that natural discipline to support your well-being.

What if your purpose isn’t something you have to chase, but something you already feel?

 In this episode, Elizabeth explores what alignment actually looks and feels like in real life. It’s not about grand revelations or perfect plans, it’s about paying attention to the small, quiet “yeses” that light you up.
 From unexpected nudges to synchronicities that make you feel seen, this episode will help you recognize when you’re on the right path… even if it doesn’t make logical sense.
