About Liv
Who am I & why would you wanna work with me?
“I struggled a lot with binge eating. I can now honestly say it’s not something that I struggle with anymore because of all the practices Liv and I have put in place together. Liv creates a space where you’re comfortable with her and you can say whatever you’re feeling or thinking without judgment or shame. I think that’s very unlikely to find now.”

Introducing: Me!
Hello, friend! Thank you for using your precious time and attention to learn more about little old me.
I’m not going to try and convince you to like me, work with me, believe me, trust me, or anything of the sort.
I’m going to do my best to show you who I truly am and what the fuck I’m truly about through this screen right now. It’s quite a challenge, and it has taken me almost a decade to feel like I’m doing it right.
So here it is, my official “About” page. If you actually read anything on this website, read this.
This is me, stripped bare (literally, in some cases) which is exactly what you’ll get if you decide to work with me.
I’m an Emotional Alchemist.
That means I can transmute low-frequency emotions (like shame and guilt) into high-frequency emotions (like gratitude and joy). I can do this for myself and hold that space for others, which is something I enjoy being able to offer.
Before I understood this about myself, my emotions controlled me. Now, they’re my superpower and allow me to teach others emotional literacy.
I believe vulnerability is our greatest strength & the key to freedom.
To demonstrate, here’s a video of me in an intensely vulnerable moment.
I’m an absolute mess. Damn, watching that now, I can see and feel the pain I was in. Mad props to the woman in that thing for working through it and making it here today to be able to share it.
I believe in walking my talk.
I never ask anyone to do anything I wouldn’t be willing to do myself, especially my clients.
That means I’m the best evidence that what I do works. I didn’t become Me by accident, and I made sure as I learned and grew, I’d be able to turn around and teach it.
Here’s a video of me having an intense breakthrough using the tools and skills I teach.
I believe the biggest obstacle to personal growth is being unkind to yourself.
When I look at how much pain, suffering, violence, and trauma there is in the world, I recognize it as a collective reflection of the pain, suffering, violence, and trauma we are personally living in.
When you live in the indecision of who you are and what you want, you choose to suffer, and when the suffering becomes too much to hold, you project it into the world. You snap at your partner, you scream at your kids, you treat people like obstacles instead of bridges.
You inflict more pain and suffering into the world when you fail to love yourself unconditionally.
Know thyself is a practice, not a destination.
Why do I do this?
When I was 22, I started doing communication and Strengths coaching and training inside organizations. Most of my clients were 1-2 decades older than me, yet they were more lost, less emotionally intelligent, and less aware than I was.
I could see their self-sabotage playing out in everything they did. It was painful and terrifying to witness.
It became clear to me very quickly why people experience mid-life crises and why so much of our world is dysfunctional: People don’t know who they authentically are and as a result, they’re living their lives based on other people’s or societal expectations.
I began to ask myself the question that led me to where I am today:
“How can I create a different future for myself, my generation, and the generations after us?”
That’s my “Why?” It’s been my why since the moment I stepped onto my journey of self-awareness.
I do this, first and foremost, for YOU. Because if I can figure this out, if I can heal myself, if I can claw my way to unconditional love, abundance, unending joy, confidence, strength, courage, and all the really good shit that’s possible, well then my friend, you sure as shit can.
Because I am you. And you are me. I don’t have or possess anything you can’t or don’t have yourself.

My Experience
Liv Wickedly is a Conscious Alignment & Communication Skills Coach, as well as a Gene Keys Guide. She’s spent the last decade working with leaders, groups, and individuals to build and improve their soft skills or, in other words, their Social + Emotional Intelligence.
Her work inside organizations and with leaders has resulted in bottom-line improvements, resolution of longstanding team conflicts, tangible performance improvements of team members on performance improvement plans, as well as career advancement for previously disengaged employees.
Liv has developed and deployed courses and training that teach effective communication and conflict resolution, as well as authoring, Get Your Joy On: Unleash Joy In Your Life, One Small Action at a Time. She is also the co-creator of the Graceful Conversations: How to Talk About It, a successful strengths-based communication model (a Gene Keys version is in the works as you’re reading this!).
My Experience Cont...
She is also a Global Shaper alumnus from the Austin hub, which is a group of young leaders (recognized by WEF) from around the world seeking to affect positive change in their local communities.
Liv has worked with and helped transform people and teams at a variety of organizations including, but not limited to, Houston Methodist Hospital, NACE International, IFMA, Percheron, Anadarko, and ExOne.
She now primarily focuses her coaching programs on guiding people who are driven to create change in their own or others’ lives and who are courageous enough to find out who they are (for real) and do it on purpose.
Her unique methodology combines practical wisdom, spiritual principles, and science-based strategies to provide dynamic and actionable practices that help her clients raise their consciousness levels from fear and scarcity to joy and abundance. By helping her clients regulate their nervous systems and create new, sustainable habits, they’re fully equipped to become the powerful creators of their life.

You are greater than your fears.
We are so much more the same than we are different. I wasn’t born more special than you.
You are capable of healing, growing, and expanding to create a magnificent life because it’s your mother fucking birthright!
All you’re missing is the knowledge, the practice, and the space to face yourself and be scared in safety.
Seriously, fam, STOP SLEEPING ON YOURSELF! If you’re even still reading this, you know you’re ready. You know you need to take this step. You know it’s gonna be scary, but you can do it.
You want to do it. I can feel it. I know because I’ve been there. Ready and wanting to jump but holding myself back. Out of fear.
Fear of the unknown.
Fear of losing everything I know.
Fear of gaining everything I imagine.
Simple, honest fucking fear.
But when my good friend Fear comes poking around, I always ask myself, “Yeah, but, like, do I really want this bitch driving the damn car? Do I really wanna create an entire life that revolves around the things I’m afraid of? Or, do I want to live my life from Courage?”
So, let me end by asking you the same.
Do you want to live your life from your Fear? Or do you want to live it from your Courage?
Here with you, either way.
