Paul Stanley Gets Real: Fame, Family, and the Power of Reinvention

What if I told you that what you’ve been calling imposter syndrome… isn’t real?In this powerful solo episode, Liz Svatek, Transformation Coach and host of The Liz Svatek Show, breaks down one of the most common lies women tell themselves — that they’re not ready, not enough, or somehow faking it. The truth? What you’re feeling isn’t a syndrome at all — it’s trauma.For women over 40 especially, imposter syndrome is often a survival mechanism rooted in years of conditioning — the pressure to be perfect, to overachieve, and to never make mistakes. That inner voice that whispers, “Who do you think you are?” isn’t proof that you’re an imposter… it’s proof that you’re on the edge of evolution.In this episode, Liz shares:✨ Why “imposter syndrome” is actually a trauma response🔥 The danger of staying in the “comfort zone” (aka the dead zone)💎 Her personal story of fear, failure, and reinvention at 49🌹 How to reframe self-doubt into expansion and step into your next level of powerYou don’t need to fix yourself — you need to free yourself.So the next time that voice whispers, “Who do you think you are?”Say it with Liz: “I’m a Warrior Woman, and the world is waiting for me.”Get Liz's Empowered Womans Playbook! https://www.lizsvatek.com/offers/wZppn2Qy/checkout💫 Listen now and start shifting from fear to freedom. #impostersyndrome #personalgrowth #transformation #healing #imposter

Diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome—a rare, life-threatening condition—doctors warned he would be born at just 2 pounds, too weak to survive.

This is the episode I never thought I’d record—because no one really prepares you for this season. The college drop-off season.For 18 years, our children live under our roof, within our reach, and under our protection. Then suddenly, it’s time to let go. To pack the car, walk across campus, and say goodbye. And while we celebrate their independence and all they’ve accomplished, there’s another truth we don’t talk about enough: the grief of letting go.In this raw and emotional episode, I open up about my son Landon leaving for college and the tidal wave of feelings that come with it. I share why grief isn’t a clean, five-stage process—it’s messy, cyclical, and deeply human. And more importantly, I reveal the lessons grief has been teaching me:How grief pulls us into deep presence.Why it expands our emotional capacity and our ability to love.How it teaches us humility, acceptance, and love without attachment.And why grief is not just about endings, but about navigating life’s biggest transitions.If you’re a parent in the midst of a goodbye, or anyone facing a season of loss and transition, this episode will meet you right where you are. Because grief doesn’t mean we’re weak—it means we loved deeply. And letting go doesn’t mean we love less, it means we’re learning to love differently.👉 Tune in to feel seen, understood, and reminded that you’re not alone in this.Want to figure out what's next for you?

In this deeply expansive episode of The Liz Svatek Show, I’m joined by my mentor, the fierce, fabulous, and wildly transformative Tracy Litt—author, speaker, spiritual advisor, and founder of The School of Becoming. Tracy is a powerhouse guide for women ready to step into their highest self-expression, and today’s conversation is a juicy, unfiltered dive into what it really means to evolve.We talk about the divine responsibility of growth—how we’re all simultaneously watching each other evolve while trying to figure out what the hell we’re doing next. Spoiler alert: none of us know. But the courage is in the leap.Tracy and I unpack the outdated model of “capacity”—the idea that we have to hold, grip, and bear it all. In truth, capacity is about allowing, experiencing, and becoming a vessel for limitless expansion. Holding on creates constriction. Allowing creates flow.I share a personal story about an old, heavy disagreement with my mom—and how I chose not to grip, but to let it sift through me like sand, releasing the pressure instantly. Tracy explains how holding on takes more energy than letting go, and that the universe will do more for you than your addiction to control ever will.We also dive into identity shifts—how we must continuously evolve who we believe we are—and why that evolution often triggers the people closest to us. Tracy and I explore the concept of being a disco ball: when you shine, you reflect light for others to find their shine… but you also trigger those who aren’t ready. And that’s not your spiritual homework to do for them.Tracy shares the secret to expanding your capacity: becoming a woman who feels her feelings. She explains how unexpressed emotion keeps you trapped in a chronic stress cycle, and how emotional fluidity is the key to being fully expressed.I ask Tracy a question she’s never been asked before:“What did you used to do to avoid feeling your feelings?”Her answer is raw, real, and incredibly relatable.This conversation will remind you that your evolution isn’t just personal—it’s a ripple effect.When you rise, you invite others to rise.When you feel, you expand.When you leap, the universe meets you.🎧 Tune in and get ready to evolve in real-time with us.#TheLizSvatekShow #TracyLitt #ReinventionEra #EmotionalCapacity #DiscoBallEffect #FeelItToHealIt #WomenOver40 #FullyExpressedWoman #LetItGo #SpiritualGrowthConnect with Tracy: Instagram: @TheTracyLitt https://www.instagram.com/thetracylitt/School of Becoming: https://theschoolofbecoming.com/Sponsor: She Angels FoundationShe Angels Foundation awards grants to grassroots female founded, non-profit organizations that provide mentorship, funding & resources to a diverse portfolio of women’s and girls’ causes.

What happens when everything and everyone in your life feels too intense, too overwhelming, and yet, something inside you still whispers: I need something for me.In this powerful episode, Liz sits down with Mindie Antebi, nurse, wife, mother, and now host of the Call the Nurse podcast, to talk about what it means to choose yourself in the middle of the storm. Mindie joined the Wise Women Collective and LIMITLESS during one of the hardest seasons of her life—while navigating deep challenges with her daughter and feeling like it was selfish to focus on her own healing. But something pulled her forward: a craving for support, depth, and a safe space to dream again.Liz and Mindie unpack the journey of saying yes to your evolution, setting boundaries without anger, and finally stepping off the emotional rollercoaster of trying to fix everything around you. Liz shares how radical personal responsibility shifts everything, and how confidence isn’t the prerequisite, it’s the result of messy action. From Mindie’s marriage transforming, to her husband shifting because of how she started showing up, to launching a top podcast at 46… this episode is full of truth, vulnerability, laughter, and serious wisdom.We explore how healing is always an inside job, why putting yourself first creates ripple effects for everyone you love, and why sometimes, when you want something done right—you call the nurse.Mindie reminds us not to ignore the little voice of wanting more for yourself.Connect with Mindie!Listen to her podcast: Call the Nurse- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/call-the-nurse/id1806398441Follow her on instagram: @callthenursepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/callthenursepodcast/Sponsor: Liz uses Suite by Caroline for all her travel!
