The Place of Permission is an offering of insight from experience in my life, both integrated and still unraveling.
This is a space for anyone who’s ever felt too sensitive, learned to over-function to survive, or felt the ache of longing for depth, honesty, and genuine connection. For those who live in a world that doesn’t always recognize what it took for you to be here.
This is a space for anyone who’s ever felt too sensitive, learned to over-function to survive, or felt the ache of longing for depth, honesty, and genuine connection. For those who live in a world that doesn’t always recognize what it took for you to be here.
On this podcast, I share stories from my own process of deconditioning—moments of rupture, repair, and return to self. I explore the ways I’ve learned to meet myself and others in my life with more honesty, tenderness, responsibility, and courage. These memories are invitations, perhaps even doorways, to thresholds you might recognize in your own body and life as sacred transitions to becoming your most authentic self.
Through lived experience, reflection, and embodiment practices, I explore what it has meant for me to move through transitions of endings and beginnings, exploring the full range of rage, grief, desire, loneliness, confusion, and being. I talk about nervous system and body wisdom, intimacy, the power of pain and pleasure, psychic, energetic, and intuitive experiences, weaving generational patterns of trauma and healing, and the bravery it takes to stay authentic to yourself when things feel tender, unknown, or met with resistance.
My hope is that my stories offer permission for you to know and love yourself more deeply, to trust what’s emerging for you, and to meet your life and your story with compassion as it unfolds.
If you’ve ever felt alone inside your own experience, this is a place to feel connected and honored in truth.
All of you is welcome here.
Because all of me is, too.

In this opening episode of The Place of Permission, Liz Chandler introduces the heart behind the podcast and the deeper intention guiding her work. She shares how years of holding space for others, as well as her own lived experience, revealed how acutely people are longing for permission to be themselves.
Liz invites listeners on a nostalgic journey through the quiet corners of her past to explore the transformative power of play. She reflects on how the stories people told about her as a child often centered on her ability to entertain herself for hours. While she once viewed this independence through a lens of loneliness or neglect, she now sees it as a vital necessity for her nature. As a projector in human design, she realizes that this solitude was not about being unwanted but about needing space to recalibrate and clear her energy.
