We were not born for boxes.
I believe the path to awakened adulthood is about returning to the wonder, mystery, and original spark we once had unlimited access to, but were taught to forget.
The world becomes a more equal, human, and effective place when we give ourselves permission to be who we were before it told us who to be.
It’s taken me several decades to own my unabashed enthusiasm–for life, transformative art, artful transformation, people, alone time, depth, dancing, ideas, conscious and human politics, magic, personal development, long walks—but doing so–even if it makes me embarrassed or vulnerable to do so—has been the single biggest catalyst to my personal happiness and professional success.
And I want this for you, too.
"Liz is everything I could ever ask for in a coach. She's intuitive, she's sensitive and she's a freaking warrior! It would have taken 5 years to accomplish what I achieved with her in a year. Since working with Liz I have become fearless and courageous. I surprise myself all the time. I hope everyone gives themselves the opportunity to work with Liz - she will help you change your life. Anything you've ever dreamed of achieving will suddenly be right in front of you - ready for the taking. Don't hesitate, don't let fear or that tiny terrorist voice keep you from connecting with Liz! You will thank yourself over and over again. I'm so grateful for her support and guidance."
Lili Stiefel
Founder, the Mixed Space & Experimental Studio
"It’s amazing to have circle of compassionate and supportive women, and a coach like Liz who is deeply empathetic, and makes you feel like it is okay to be exactly where you are, and also like it’s totally possible to get where you want to go. If you think you are on the precipice of something special, but you need courage to lean into it, then this is the place for you.It’s important, and it’s profoundly valuable. You need this, it’s like air."
Dana J. Ferguson
Actor, Writer
"Since joining The Collective I’ve booked a network television show, several independent films, and am on the precipice of working with a new and improved management team. There is a lot of supply in this business for people who can tell you what to do, and I haven’t found those groups to be effective or supportive, but this is a group where I walked in and realized I’m actually getting what I need, and I’m getting it from a supportive group of women.
This space is really safe, really uncompetitive, and really effective for finding different parts of your artistry that can feed you. You gotta have it."
Emmy Harrington
Actor/Director/Writer
"I joined The Collective several years ago, at a point in my life when it seemed like nothing had “turned out” the way I’d envisioned. I was lonely and stuck and feeling disillusioned when I found Liz and fell completely in love with her authenticity and mission. What’s unique about The Collective is that it is facilitated by Liz, but it is not ABOUT Liz, which can be the vibe with many coaches and guides and leaders. The Collective has provided me an opportunity to show up for myself and for other women—equap parts coaching, class, church, brunch with my badass friends, and a TED Talk that has been deeply healing and inspiring. Minimal financial investment, incalculable positive impact. I can’t stress enough what a gift it has been to be a part of this community."
Kim Griffin
Coach & Writer
"Liz is amazing! One month later my time with Liz has paid for itself twice over. I have a renewed positivity in my work, more satisfaction as a coach, and my coaching practice has been booked up several weeks in advance during an economic downturn ... that's insane!Today I am happy to show up to work and put in the hours because I have a sense of the direction in which I am heading. Because of her help, I’m finally able to make time to work on my upcoming book, because everything has been streamlined and clients are booking consistently (and then coming back for more). THANK YOU."
Rebecca Gausnell
Internationally Acclaimed Voice & Dialect Coach
"If you wish to launch into the new decade with power, purpose, possibility, and pleasure, I recommend that you let Liz Kimball be your guide. Like no one else I know, Liz is a fresh beacon of light and leadership for female-identifying creators and change-makers who desire to reshape and refine themselves and the world in a kinder, gentler, more impactful way."
Kristine Oller
Master Coach & Strategist
"I joined The Collective for a new perspective. I am a heart centered engineer with mad financial skills. I was developing my entrepreneurial platform and getting stuck making the transition from corporate to entrepreneur. Liz’s incredible creativity and leadership, opened the floodgate. If you have great skills yet are having trouble pivoting, Liz’s work is both catalytic and expansive."

10 Things to Know About Me
- Depth and curiosity are my love languages.
- My ducks are nonlinear.
- My first dream was to be a cat + ballerina + lady boss named Sally Kimball. I believe all the best magic happens at the intersection.
- I had debilitating shyness for the first part of my life. Finding my voice and finally telling the truth outloud is not only one of the biggest things I have done in my life, but one of my favorite things to help other people do. I am still an introvert, but I love talking to strangers and speaking in front of large groups of people, as long as I can go home afterwards and spend several days talking to no one.
- My biggest fear is that I won’t be useful.
- I love long walks, Wonder Woman, books, cheese popcorn, inspirational political tv shows, and electing women to public office.
- My ancestors are Quaker, but my early childhood was spent in a cult-like, non-sectarian community. Since childhood, I have been a spiritual seeker. I think my whole life has been about searching for a kind of big music otherwise known as a g-o-d who lets you be free.
- I believe creativity is the aspect of mental health we forget to talk about.
- And that more women-driven leadership, art, and three-dimensional stories will heal the world.
- One of the most essential discoveries of my life is that anxiety, doubt, and fear are part of my creative process (and not the boss of me or something wrong with me).
and...
I believe we are all miracles who forget that we are miracles.

Meet Liz
I have over 15 years of experience as an award-winning performer, published writer, director/choreographer, professional certified coach, professor, facilitator, and creative entrepreneur.
I have spent a lifetime devoted to the deep research, study and practice of creativity, self-actualization, spiritual traditions, conscious communication, compassionate leadership, ethical entrepreneurship, intersectional feminism, transformational theory, and the multifaceted, slightly mysterious alchemy of skills necessary to be a thought leader in the digital age.
It has been a great privilege of my life to empower thousands of magical geniuses like you to source, strategize, and deliver brave, meaningful, and profitable work. And fall back in love with your creativity along the way.
