Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Elizabeth Douthit. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Elizabeth , thanks for joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?

When I think of legacy building, I think about being a good ancestor to my daughters and the descendants of my daughters. What will they assume a woman and mother can do because they saw me do it? Whether they follow directly in my footsteps or not, will they remember what it looks like to believe in their ideas and dreams, even if those ideas are different from those around them? I want them to remember they’ve inherited traits like bravery, courage, and even joy in the face of those who tell them to do it a certain way, or not to do it at all.

I want them to see the bravery of others, too. We each have such remarkable gifts to share with each other and when we feel the support to build and share those gifts, we take part in creating the world we want to live in. This is really important to the economy I value and support.

Elizabeth , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a life coach at the intersection of the soul, self, and intimacy with others. My offerings include soul-centered individual coaching packages, relationship & intimacy coaching packages for singles and couples, and in-person women’s circles in Texas.

Working with individuals and couples to powerfully trust, expand, and connect to their physical bodies is one of my greatest joys. Discussing intimacy in relationship is a topic many people understandably have a mental block around given the lack of education and inspiration in our cultural dialogue. I give individuals permission and tools to explore their own unique connection to their physical form and how to incorporate and expand on this into living vibrant lives. My clients come away with keys to unlock their most authentic expression in their external lives and, when available, to express their physical desires in loving ways with a partner.

For me, there is no separating the physical and spiritual realms within a person, however tempting or “safe” organized religion has made that notion. And it’s not just religion creating resistance; technology, our food choices, and stress can also leave us feeling separated from our own access to our life force. We can choose to live vibrantly at any time, and it begins with our connection to the bodies we live in.

There are practitioners and healers out there who spend a lot of time in shadow work in a way that stirs drama and feels exciting, but seldom clears it. I believe in resourcing my clients to their fullest so that they become available to create their own healing according to their clearest intuition. I re-empower them to heal themselves and create the life they know is possible.

I powerfully assist my clients in dissolving the paradigms that are no longer serving them on their path to whatever form of abundance they desire. One compliment I’ve received often is how safe my clients feel and how deep that allows them to go. It’s no wonder my clients experience exhilarating and liberating transformation.

I call myself a mystic: I love finding the points where Spirit pops in and out of ordinary life and showing people how to pay attention. I hold space for people when their Soul starts speaking to them, guiding them to more aligned decisions and choice points in their daily lives.

I am also a catalyst. I am present for people during major life transitions. I guide people back to their own inner knowing of what they’re here to do in their lifetime.

And my favorite self-appointed position: priestess of Joy. In our culture, joy is often seen as frivolous, fleeting, or dependent on another. I see it as an energetic technology. Want to get something done? Learn to harness joy.

The name Texan Mystic came from a stroke of inspiration – how would I describe myself? – but the most fun part of all of my work has been building community with other mystic Texans looking for the same qualities I am looking for. I have a circle that meets weekly in my living room – we drink coffee and share life together while the kids play upstairs. It’s very sacred and the highlight of my week. It’s called “Not Your Grandma’s Rosary” circle.

Have you ever had to pivot?

This is not my first career. In my first career, I was a professional classical violinist. I taught lessons, I had a title chair in the opera. Why would I leave such an artistic career? For me, it wasn’t just about creating beauty. It was a drive to perfection that merited years of anxiety and stubborn effort. It sounds commendable, but it was tone deaf. I played every note perfectly or spent hours berating myself until it was perfect. I did enjoy the music, but it also protected me from meeting the rest of myself. What I’m most proud of is walking away and finding out who else I was.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

I have had to unlearn over and over again that it is a human right to define and create abundance in a system that tries to powerfully instill that whatever a woman chooses to do, she will be wrong about it. It’s not an easy one to unlearn because it comes from all sides. Whether it’s opinions about motherhood, career, relationships, body image, etc. there are so many ways to get trapped. The only way to unlearn it is to go inward for the answers. Quit worshipping at the altar of martyrdom and “gold star” approval. See what lights you up on the inside. I am really proud of building my business as I have had to step into this lesson to my core over and over again, every step along the way. There’s a spirituality to entrepreneurship – I’ve had to actionably embody deep trust in myself and my hopes and dreams. It’s the most exciting ride I’ve ever been on, for sure!
