Beyond Time Management: Time Mastery, Flow and Divine Timing with Belief System Coach Daniel Naor
Time is something we think about, talk about, worry about and structure our work and lives around every day. Yet, how often do you stop and ask: What is time, really? What is my relationship with time? Could I be experiencing time in a completely different way? In a world that feels like it’s speeding up, our relationship with time is ready to evolve. Because “I don’t have enough time” is just a belief. But it’s not the whole truth.In this conversation with my friend Daniel Naor — Kabbalah teacher and belief system coach — we break down the subconscious programming to explore how to rise above the limitation of linear time and open to a more expansive reality. In this episode, we bridge the spiritual with the practical to explore:What time really is — and how to expand beyond a purely linear experience of timeThe biggest limiting beliefs we hold about time — and how to shift themDivine timing: how to work with time, rather than work against timeThe balance between planning and allowing for a greater plan to unfoldThe difference between hustling and aligning with time’s natural flowPractical ways to rewrite your relationship with time and move from pressure to presenceWork with Daniel Naor:https://www.kabbalah.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/daniel.naor72Work with Lizzie Azzolino:https://www.workwithlizzie.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizzieazzolino/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lizzie_azzolino/

I share how to spot, understand, and move through these openings with intention.Finally, we explore the intersection of entrepreneurship, humanistic design, business leadership, and intuition—and why, as industries and systems crumble, our willingness to step into alignment is not just personal but collective.If you’ve felt like you’re being asked to step into a new way of leading—both in work and life—this episode will help you trust that process.Get in touch with Benedikt Lehnert: https://benediktlehnert.github.io/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benediktlehnert/Substack: https://benediktlehnert.substack.com/Get in touch with Lizzie Azzolino:https://www.workwithlizzie.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizzieazzolino/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lizzie_azzolino/

Work is Now Spiritual: From External Success to Inner Alignment with Master Astrologer Rachel Schwartz
In this episode, Lizzie welcomes master astrologer and Kabbalah teacher Rachel Schwartz to explore the profound shift happening in the way we work: the movement from external success to inner alignment. As systems and structures rapidly change, we’re being called to redefine purpose, security and fulfillment — not through external validation, but through deep personal truth.Lizzie shares her own recent inner work and realizations about how much of herself she had been hiding in her own work, including this podcast. Together, she and Rachel explore what it really means to do the work we are here to do — not just in our careers, but across all dimensions of life.Rachel unpacks the astrological forces shaping this moment, particularly Pluto’s move into Aquarius, which signals a breakdown of old structures and an invitation into radical individuality, purpose, and contribution. They explore how work is no longer about achievement — it’s about consciousness.They also discuss:Why external systems (corporations, governments, institutions) are dissolving—and what this means for our workHow Pluto in Aquarius is shifting us from external security to internal sovereigntyThe danger of looking for a guru — and why the answers are already withinWhy true individuality isn’t about standing out — it’s about contributionHow to navigate moments of despair and misalignment and how to take your next stepThe real definition of fulfillment: receiving from an unlimited sourceHow inner work shapes external reality — and why that’s more true now than everThis conversation will challenge how you think about work, success, and your role in the world — offering a new lens on why we’re here and what it means to fully step into our purpose.Work with Rachel Schwartz: https://www.racheltheastrologer.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/racheltheastrologer/Work with Lizzie Azzolino:https://www.workwithlizzie.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizzieazzolino/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzie_azzolino/
