Elevate Potential

Hi, I'm Elizabeth — and I'm so glad you're here for the very first episode of Where It's Quiet. I launched this podcast on my birthday because birthdays have always felt like threshold moments for me: the chance to look back, look forward, and lean into what actually matters. This space is about returning — not reinventing. After years of striving and creating a previous show called Elevate Potential, I traded hustle for stillness and started learning what it means to live in alignment and fulfillment. It's less about proving anything and more about showing up, walking slowly, and listening to what our bodies and hearts already know. Quiet wasn't accidental for me as a kid — I used to sneak out to sit on the porch under the stars with my guitar and whatever words wanted to come out. That silence was alive; it gave me room to create, heal, and discover who I was. That curious, creative girl is still inside me, and this podcast is an invitation to rediscover yours. Much of what I'm talking about comes from being embodied — trusting the wisdom of the body over the endless churn of thought. Small practices like widening your peripheral vision on a walk or simply putting one foot in front of the other can open up intuition and clarity in ways the mind alone can't. I walked the Camino de Santiago — 200 miles over 14 days — and it taught me how powerful the rhythm of being can be. On that walk I noticed stories I'd been carrying that weren't true, let them go, and felt lighter almost overnight. Those quiet moments were where real change and insight showed up, not from overthinking, but from listening. In a culture that celebrates noise and hustle, choosing quiet feels radical. Here we'll create space for reflection, journaling, breathwork, and simple practices that help you return to yourself, cultivate flow, and live more aligned — one small step at a time. Before we go: where do you find your quiet? A trail, your kitchen table with coffee, the car when you're still for a moment — wherever it is, go there this week and notice what comes up. Thank you for being here with me today on my birthday — welcome to Where It's Quiet.
