Expert Series Barbie Liss EPS 07

In the latest episode of the Flip N' Shift Podcast, my guest is Barbie Liss.

Barbie challenges conditioned societal perspectives and shifts individual mindset, as she guides women to celebrate their transition in years, to embody the power of their wisdom, and to rise in empowered self love and acceptance, as they walk into their Elder years.

As an advocate for Restorative Justice & Societal Healing, Barbie bridges gaps of Generations and of Healing & Justice, by UNteaching cultural messaging and reframing through love, compassion and forgiveness.

Barbie is a heart centered space holder for Women.  She lovingly guides toward healing, and to release fears of aging handed by society’s Anti~Aging message.

Barbie openly shares her story and journey as Mom of a rape survivor, and the healing of their Restorative Justice outcome, making history in the justice system, and the lessons on the journey of her path to where she is today.

Barbie is a Community Champion for Silken Laumann’s Unsinkable organization, she is Coach Resource with a variety of Organizations, sits on the Board of Advisors for Panacea Media Humanized, and has walked Ancestral Paths and Elder Ceremony with Indigenous Elder Grandmother Kaarina.

I asked Barbie to share her experience with sitting across from her daughter's assailant in a 8 hour therapy session. Barbie's daughter opted for restorative outcomes for her attacker.  She recalls the emotions she felt when facing her daughter's rapist. 

"This was a day of (Pause).. I have never had every emotion run through my body in a short period of time. It was horrible and gut wrenching and beautiful and healing."  36:08
