She Reclaims, She Rises, She Empowers: A Conversation with Liz Murray on Overcoming Anxiety and Embracing Midlife Transformation
On the latest episode of The Life Unscripted Podcast, I had the absolute honor of speaking with transformational coach, accredited counselor, and author Liz Murray. We had a heartfelt and powerful conversation about resilience, anxiety, healing, and the liberating power of stepping into one's true self, especially in midlife.
Liz’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to begin again.
From Chronic Anxiety to Global Coaching
As a child, Liz grew up in what began as a happy home—until a dramatic shift occurred. Her younger brother’s severe autism, which went undiagnosed for years, brought chaos and confusion into their world. By the age of 10, Liz was experiencing depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), though she wouldn’t fully understand her condition until years later during a psychology lecture in college.
She spent most of her adult life believing that anxiety was simply “who she was.”
But things began to change after she became a mother. “When you see the world through your child’s eyes, your childhood comes rushing back,” Liz shared. IThisreawakening, paired with a desire to live differently, ted her to explore mindfulness, belief coding, and subconscious reprogramming.
Eventually, she left a safe, stable job and launched a global coaching practice in her 50s.
A Story of Survival and Self-Compassion
One of the most harrowing and formative experiences in Liz’s life was flying into New York on the morning of September 11, 2001. As a member of the cabin crew, she found herself descending into JFK as the attacks unfolded. The trauma of that day stayed buried for years.
“I didn’t realize I had PTSD from 9/11,” she admitted. “Writing about it gave me a sense of self-compassion. From start to finish, I had never looked at my story with that kind of perspective.”
Through writing, Liz recognized her strength, not as a trauma survivor alone but as someone who found meaning and a mission in the aftermath.
Introducing Her Book: She Reclaims, She Rises, She Empowers
Now, Liz is one of ten women sharing transformational stories in the newly released book She Reclaims, She Rises, She Empowers. Her chapter walks readers through her lifelong relationship with anxiety, the steps she took to rewire her mind, and how others can do the same.
“This book is a story of hope,” Liz said. “You don’t have to feel trapped. You can retrain your brain, and there is a way out.”
Her story stands as a testament that growth and change are not jonly possible butinevitable when we decide to stop settling.

Words of Encouragement
Liz’s message is empowering and straightforward: It’s not too late. Change is possible.
“If you’re listening and feel stuck, I’ve been there. However, change becomes natural when you begin working with the subconscious—the 95% that runs your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It becomes automatic.”
