About Me
Welcome! My name is Liz Volpe. Although I did not always know it, my passion in life has always been helping others. At a young age, I began rescuing stray animals (specifically cats) and providing them with a loving home. I easily connected with others and have provided safe spaces for people to open up. Though I never felt like I really fit in with people my own age, my differences were actually my strengths. Throughout my life, I have always had a deep feeling I was meant to do “more” in this lifetime.
Growing up, I was surrounded by two loving parents who provided a comfortable, loving home for my brother and I. Despite this, my life has not been easy. My world completely shattered at age 12 when my dad passed away from a massive heart attack. Six years later, my mom passed away. For the entirety of my teenage years and the majority of my 20s, I was filled with sadness, anger, shame, resentment, depression, anxiety due to unhealed trauma and unprocessed emotions. I felt like a victim of life and, with that mindset, life showed me time and time again that I was correct through abusive relationships.
My Awakening truly began in 2018 after another harmful and toxic relationship. This one completely broke my heart, throwing me into what’s called a dark night of the soul. I knew something needed to change and I needed to work through my grief. I started to see my own coach, Gladys, who helped me understand that my outer world reflects my inner world. The way others treated me was a direct reflection of how I treated myself. With her help, I worked through trauma, learned to understand my emotions, and began to strip away what was no longer serving me. I learned that although I could not control the events that happened to me at a young age, I could control how I view those events. I created a new set of beliefs that to this day support me in a positive way. As my mindset slowly began to change so did my life.
My life is completely different now. I am strong, kind, loving and believe I can achieve anything I set my mind to. I am surrounded by people that love me unconditionally, the way I learned to love myself. I am living a life that is authentic to me. I unapologetically speak my truth. In doing so, I can inspire others to do the same.
I created Inner Wisdom because I want to help others on their own grief and healing journey. Grief can feel isolating, but connecting with people who emphasize with what you’re going through can help. With over 10 years of experience, I truly believe that you cannot “think” your way into healing. Making the mind-body connection is when healing can occur. Emotions must be acknowledged, felt, honored, and released from the body.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others so they can move forward in life and find joy again. Group grief coaching and 1:1 support are safe, judgement free places where you can feel seen, heard, and loved.
Let's heal.
I dedicate Inner Wisdom to my dad, mom, and cat Lucky.
