Let’s be real, ladies—how many times have we been told we’re not enough? Not thin enough, young enough, pretty enough. The world loves to remind us of our supposed flaws. But what if, instead of buying into the noise, we said, “Nah, not today!” and started to see our bodies for the incredible, powerful, and glorious vessels they truly are?

That’s exactly what my Love Your Body More Workshop is all about. And the best part? It’s completely free, online, and happening on Wednesday, 5th February via Zoom.

This is the same workshop I’ve been privileged to run at the Seven Sisters Festival (twice a year for two years!) and the Summer Bohemian Festival. It’s become a crowd favourite, with women telling me time and time again it was the highlight of their entire festival experience.

And here’s the catch: this is the last time I’ll be offering this workshop in this format. So if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to jump in.

Why This Workshop is Different
Forget the “New Year, New Me” nonsense. This isn’t about trying to mould yourself into someone else’s idea of perfection. It’s about embracing the body you’re in right now—not because of what she looks like, but because of everything she allows you to do.

Here’s the truth:

• Aging is a privilege.
• Your body isn’t an ornament—it’s an instrument.
• She’s carried you through life’s ups and downs, and that’s bloody amazing.

Whether your body has birthed children, endured illness or injury, or simply carried you through every day—she deserves to be celebrated. And this workshop will help you do just that.

What You’ll Gain
This workshop is about helping you:

• Embrace yourself with self-acceptance and grace.
• Let go of the constant pressure to meet other people’s expectations.
• See your body as something to honour and love, rather than criticise.

Women who’ve attended in the past have shared incredible stories of transformation—like finally wearing that “unicorn” item of clothing they’ve always dreamed of, whether it’s a corset, bikini, or sleeveless top. They’ve found the confidence to step out, feeling fabulous and unapologetic.

What’s the Catch?
If you’re thinking, “What’s the catch?”—here’s the deal. At the end of the workshop, I’ll be sharing details about my Outrageous Radical Body Acceptance program.

But here’s the thing: this workshop is a standalone experience. It’s completely free, and my goal is for you to walk away feeling empowered, with all the tools you need to reconnect with your body and live authentically, boldly, and unapologetically.

Join Us for the Final Workshop
📅 When: Wednesday, 5th February
📍 Where: Online via Zoom
🎥 Recording: Can’t make it live? No dramas—the session will be recorded and sent to all registrants.

This is your chance to experience the magic of this workshop for free, one last time. So if you’re ready to stop the self-criticism and start embracing your body for all the incredible things she does, this is for you.

I can’t wait to see you there!

​Last night I ran a free-dance Qoya class as part of my Outrageous Radical Body Acceptance program. As part of the class, we always pick an oracle card (pictured left). 
 
The card said “Just because you FEEL like trash doesn't mean you ARE trash”.
 
What does this mean to you Liz?
 
For me, it's a reminder that our thoughts are not real just because we have them. 
 
A thought is just that, a thought. 
 
An idea. 
 
Something that has popped into your mind. 
 
And it might not actually be founded on any truth at all.
 
This card is a reminder of that. 
 
Because our silly, complicated, supercomputer brains don't always get it right.
 
To be able to remember that when the negative thoughts come in is a valuable tool to help you challenge them and replace them with something more positive.
 
You are not trash.
 
You never have been.
 
You are amazing.
 
You are a true goddess.
 
And you have always been one!

Ask a woman what she hates about her body and she'll answer quickly and with a list a mile long. Ask that same woman what she loves about her body and she'll pause and have to think about it. Women have been conditioned since they're born that the most interesting and important thing about them is how they look. Friends and family will tell little girls how pretty they are rather than how smart or strong they are. There are billion dollar industries, including weight loss, beauty and fashion, that feed on our insecurities to sell us their products. And I was no different, I too hated my fat body and tried diets, lotions and potions to try and "fix" it. 

Thankfully things are slowly starting to change. There has been a rise in the Body Love movement, seeking to empower women to love their bodies exactly as they are now. Women like Taryn Brumfitt, Celeste Barber, Sonya Renee Taylor and Lizzo are shining a light on the systems that lead to women hating their bodies. They are showing women that there is a different way to think about your body and that it can be positive. 

What is Body Neutrality?
For many women jumping from loathing their bodies to loving it can be a massive leap. It seems impossible, like trying to jump over the Grand Canyon. But what if there was a mid point? A landing pad to aim for in the middle of canyon that looks far more achievable? This mid point is Body Neutrality. Body Neutrality is when you can look at yourself in the mirror and there is no hate, no love, just "this is my body" and "this is what it looks like". You view your body as an instrument that allows you to live this life, rather than as an art work just to be admired. 

How do I change my perspective?
Moving through the spectrum of your feelings about your body from Body Hate to Body Neutrality is a slow and deliberate action. It takes effort to undo decades of learning that your worth comes from how you look rather than any aspect of your personality. However, it is absolutely possible because I did it. Here are some exercises that helped me on my way to Body Neutrality. 

Try to notice each time you are criticising a part of your body, stop yourself and try to turn it into something positive. Change "I hate my muffin top" to "I have the softest, smoothest skin on my belly" or from "my arms are so flabby" to "I can lift my grocery bags into the car because I have these arms". 

At least once a day, express gratitude for your body. This body is the only body you are going to get in this lifetime and so often we forget to be grateful for it and all that it allows us to do because we have THIS body. It can be for anything, "I'm grateful for my legs because I could go for a walk today " or "I'm grateful for my hands because it means I can type " or "I'm grateful for my bum because I'm comfy when I sit down".

Find an embodiment practice that works for you. For me it was Qoya, a free dance embodiment class. There is no wrong way to do Qoya. You move your body in whatever way you want and it helps you to find the joy in movement for the sake of movement rather than for any other purpose. It helps you to feel into your body and to dance with your feelings rather than thinking about them. You start to gain a new appreciation for your body and all that it can do. If dance is not your thing, try yoga, bush walking or roller skating. It doesn't matter what your chosen activity is, it's about feeling into your body and realising how wonderful it is. 

Once you achieve Body Neutrality, I urge you to keep going on towards Body Love. You're already half way there!
