We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Elizabeth Cappelletti a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Elizabeth , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
I have always had a heart for helping others. In fact, it gives me great joy to be able to do so! It has always come naturally for me to provide comfort and support to those who need it. I can literally feel other people’s pain- I’m an intuitive empath- so helping others who are suffering in a way eases the suffering I feel as well. But seeing others heal, find relief and start to live a life filled with joy and on purpose…. priceless! Greatest gift!
What I do as a career is pretty similar to how I show up for others in my life. It was a little challenging at first-recognizing that I just needed to be me- imposter syndrome much?!! When you do something that just flows out of you and brings so much joy… pretty sure that’s the “purpose” zone. Don’t get me wrong, my role as a therapist has come with a lot of ups and downs, lots of tears shed- by me- lots of learning and growing and healing of my own. But I know this is one of the many purposes God has given me and I feel blessed to be able to live out that purpose.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and I help people on their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing journey. I specialize in Integrative and Holistic Medicine for Mental Health and am always learning and growing. I am trained in many modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Hypnosis, Meditation & Mindfulness, Sound Healing, Breathwork and Art Therapy to name a few. I am also a certified Massage Therapist and while I don’t practice as a clinician of massage now, it greatly impacts the work I do because of the great knowledge and wisdom I have gained about the mind-body connection.
In the work I do with clients we address all areas of life mind, body and soul and explore the connection between each of them. Sometimes the work I do involves having great resources to connect my clients with- because it takes a tribe! We can be greatly impacted by physical issues we have that in turn cause mental and emotional issues and vice versa. When clients are ready to explore more spiritual aspects of their life they can work on healing mental, emotional and physical scars from how they grow spiritually. It’s pretty incredible- but in short it is all connected and we are all connected.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Three elements that were impactful in my journey have been tenacity, openness to learning and my spiritual growth.
Tenacity has been important because you have to be willing to keep going at it in different ways and many ways you maybe even didn’t expect. I’m tenacious in that I don’t give up and I am always learning and growing. Learning new things can be very challenging but if you have a tenacious spirit about you then you will keep going even when it gets hard. Also, in the line of work I do the business (and money) can ebb and flow. So in the slow times you have to get busy and create more connections, build relationships, put content out there to generate more leads and income.
Openness to learning is essential because if you think you know everything…well, you won’t be open to learning new things, new ways to help others, new ways to connect. I love learning, even though it can be challenging at times. I am well versed in many different modalities and my clients really appreciate that I can help them in so many ways. There is not one modality that will work for everyone- despite what some “experts” will tell you. Everyone is different and the way they heal is different. I love that I have been open to seeing that and learning new ways to help the people I work with.
Spiritual growth has been such an integral part of my success. As I have learned to release and surrender, my oh my has my anxiety decreased and joy and abundance increased. I am able to see the beautiful connection between all of us and have experienced deep healing that helps me both as a human being moving through this world and clinician. Knowing I don’t have to do this all on my own and it’s not my job to “heal” or “fix” anyone but rather to be a guide and assistant on this journey has been so incredibly helpful for me. If you think it’s your job to “fix” someone else that will surely lead to some very painful and stressful experiences.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am always looking for people to collaborate with! It takes a tribe, truly! I think it is truly beautiful when we can work together to bring more peace, love, joy and healing into this world. I would love to collaborate with people who are wanting to do things like retreats, community events, workshops, course and programs to help people de-stress, find healing, recovery and growth. People who are living life on purpose with the intention of helping others heal and find joy and meaning in their life.
