Hey there!
I’m Elizabeth Piper. And let’s just say I wear a lot of hats.
Empowerment Speaker, Animated Storyteller, Life Coach, Multi-Passionate Human, Gilmore Girls Enthusiast and Vulnerability-Based Teacher.
Before I go any further, I have to be honest with you about something.
There are aspects of the self-improvement world (yes, the very world I operate my business in) that make me cringe. Speakers and coaches who give this impression that they have it all figured out, and if you just buy this program or attend this retreat, you too can finally discover the secret to fixing all of your life’s problems.
But here’s the unsexy, possibly awful marketing tactic truth:
I haven’t figured it all out. And I don’t pretend to.
It takes me entirely too long to food prep on Sundays, no matter how hard I try to expedite the process.
I always aim to take power naps, but more often than not I end up napping for over an hour.
I am still paying off debt.
I don’t own a house or travel to a new country every year (although I’m working on it).
I more often than I’d like to admit overthink things and fixate on my cellulite.
And most skincare regimes overwhelm me. Did every other woman take a 101 class that I somehow missed??
All of this to say, I have not mastered life.
I have found that my purpose and gifts as a speaker, coach, and writer are manifested best through vulnerably sharing my life experiences and the growth, wisdom, and lessons I’ve extracted from those experiences.
Like how I grew up in a home of addiction, and in adulthood have had to unlearn people-pleasing tendencies and learn how to set healthy boundaries with loved ones as an act of self-care.
How I’ve been rejected from dream schools, dream jobs, and dream partners, and in the midst of these rejections, have cultivated a deep sense of self-worth, independent of being chosen by others.
How I’ve been fired very…how do I put this?…distastefully from Corporate America and discovered that…well… I definitely don’t belong in Corporate America (unless you hire me to speak that is...).
How I’ve navigated the unexpected & tragic loss of my mother and learned that there are some heartbreaks in this life that bring you to your knees, and it takes time, grace, and courage to sit with grief and allow it to move through you at its own pace.
I am here to help you navigate through this life with tools and techniques to guide and inspire you.
All in all, my intention through my work, through sharing my lived experiences vulnerably, is to show you that you aren’t alone in your feelings and struggles. That so much of what you beat yourself up for is just…part of the human experience. That there aren’t always perfectly packaged answers to our problems, but there are tools and practices to help us navigate the questions with more ease.
Through my offerings, I teach you how to meet yourself with grace, cultivate a resilient spirit, and move in the direction of confident clarity.
If my work speaks to your soul, I look forward to connecting with you soon.
Until then, be well.
Elizabeth
Since 2014...
I have been coaching in group settings and in 1:1 sessions both in person and virtually. I specialize in teaching resiliency by learning how to choose progress over perfection, acceptance over resistance, curiosity over judgement, and possibility over hopelessness.
I have independently crafted and delivered hundreds of empowerment workshops and speeches in schools, high-profile colleges, and workplaces. My work has led me to be a highly sought-after industry expert with multiple features on local news channels and top-rated podcasts, and I've delivered keynote speeches at Boston College’s Women Summit as well as at the Women of the World Conference hosted in Baltimore, Maryland.
I am both humbled and deeply called by this work and am grateful for each and every human I've had the honor of speaking to, teaching, and of course, learning from.
