A typical day in my life includes…
deciding what to wear and going through at least 10 outfits before landing on a decision followed by meditating with my favorite crystal, a little praying, then it’s off the Angel cards for some input from the angelic realm and finally out the door to my office where my fantastic staff and I get to creative and dream up ways in which to help and empower people on their spiritual path and develop amazing conferences, retreats and summits!
I was born…
New Yawk!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the wintertime weather.
I’m listening to…
God, my angels, my delicious husband Jeff, my event coordinator Janice, my sister Jaime and Dr. Joe Dispenza lectures over and over and over again. His research and wisdom is unparalleled.
My family…
we are a ridiculously silly and brilliant family filled with a lot of expressive, creative and courageous women…and the wonderful, kind and intelligent men that love and support us.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
my mother.
One thing I cannot live without…
there are simply way too many things I cannot live without to list.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
an actress and dancer. I fulfilled this dream and was a professional actress for 13 years, touring and doing regional theatre….but not that great of a dancer.
I’m inspired by…
our Celebrate Your Life events and the magic that happens in the space. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
The one person who motivates me is…
sorry, this is a bucket filled with people that motivate me:
Sunny Dawn Johnston
Lisa Nichols
Dr. Jeff Donahue (my husband)
Wayne Dyer
Dr. Joe Dispenza
Marianne Williamson
Elizabeth Gilbert..and so many more.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
I would heal all the violence in the world with one swish of my wand. Done. No more child abuse. No more violence against women. No more animal abuse. No more violence period.
The perfect day would be…
I just don’t think it would be appropriate to put into print! But I’ll give you hint. It involves my husband, margaritas and the beach.
My first job was…
car hop at an A&W. I consumed more vanilla ice cream and root beer in one summer than any one person should consume in a lifetime.
My favorite escape…
our home. A good book or movie.
My life…
is filled with everything that we experience in the human existence, from a lot of laughing, silliness, stress about work, at times sadness, frustration, absurd dramas that are completely unimportant, how to have work/life balance, deep gratitude…and more gratitude, and a ton of learning and better understanding my relationship to God and the Universe, and trying to figure out how to maintain a consistent exercise regimen! I’m enormously grateful that I get to experience all of this and more with my beautiful husband Jeff and my family and my soul tribe.
I’m currently working on…
our International Women’s Summit which is going to be off-the-charts FABULOUS! And then our Celebrate Your Life Skamania Retreat, Celebrate Your Life Sedona Retreat, Celebrate Your Life Speaker’s Program and losing 10 lbs.
Always…
listen to your inner guidance and wisdom.
Never…
send an email when you’re angry.
Favorite Quote…
“Walk your path with dancing feet and a song in your heart.” – Ariel Wolfe, mom
Biggest Dream…
World Peace.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
hiring people who say they are going to work but don’t understand the true meaning of “work!”
More about Liz…
with a phone line, on an old desk in her mom’s dining room, Liz Dawn and her mother Ariel Wolfe created a company. It was 1995, and the last thing that this mother-daughter team expected was going into business together.
Over 24 years later, Mishka Productions and Celebrate Your Life events is world renowned for producing live conferences and summits with the greatest motivational and bestselling spiritual authors and visionaries of our time. The events are like walking onto the set of the Oprah Winfrey show where inspirational speakers are presenting keynote sessions and workshops on everything to living your greatest life, to understanding your life’s passion, to discovering how to meditate and living a more mindful empowered and compassionate life.
