Conversations with Elizabeth Golden

Today we’d like to introduce you to Elizabeth Golden.

Hi Elizabeth, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My spiritual journey began very early in this lifetime. I didn’t have much time to be a child. I had to grow up very quickly. I had to learn to be an adult at the age of 9. Of course when you’re in a situation you think, this is just the way it is. You don’t stop to think that something is wrong. It was very tough, yes! And as a child we have no idea about the future or how things will unfold. So I did what I needed to do under the circumstances. The good part of this for me is that I chose to transform this experience into wisdom and strength rather than being held back by these obstacles.

As a very sensitive child with heightened awareness, I often felt out of place—especially because of what happened within my family. I was struggling to fit in without the support or understanding I needed.

Growing up, there was no space for my sensitivity or intuitive gifts. I was simply expected to follow the rules, stay quiet, and be “good.” This​ disconnection from my true self eventually sparked a determination to understand who I really am and what I am here to do.

This search led me on a personal journey in search of the Nature of Self. I traveled the world and studied different types of spiritual practices until I found my teacher who lived in Mt. Shasta. I continued to study with him, a contemporary Japanese Master for over twenty years—then I began growing into my authentic self—learning to heal from within and create a purposeful life.

Today, this spiritual foundation guides my daily decisions. When faced with challenges, I can access a stillness within that provides clarity instead of reacting from old patterns. This transformation has enabled me to guide others who are struggling with similar disconnections from their authentic selves. I’m grateful for this journey and all that I have learned, especially how difficulty can become the doorway to our greatest purpose.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My challenges began from a very early age. I never fit into this world and I always felt a little awkward, not seen or understood. As children, we arrive with a unique spiritual awareness – our connection to our true essence hasn’t yet faded. And in some ways its shocking to be here. There is a lack of sensitivity and unawareness that permeates through the world. Making things very challenging when you are more sensitive and no one understands you or your sensitivity.

The most transformative experience of my childhood was losing my mother when I was only nine. She had a remarkable gift as a medium, she was able to communicate with those who had passed on. In an era before such abilities were understood or accepted, she faced rejection and isolation. Witnessing her experience planted a seed of caution within me about embracing my own intuitive abilities.

This early lesson changed my life path in profound ways. Rather than simply surviving these challenges, they developed in me an extraordinary capacity for compassion – understanding others’ hardships became second nature. What once felt like invisibility gradually revealed itself as a unique perspective, allowing me to see beyond surface realities. And learn to help other people who are in need of some support with challenges they are facing in their lives.

My adult healing journey has been about reclaiming these gifts. While occasional doubts may arise, I’ve discovered that my purpose transcends those early fears. Today, I recognize that those very experiences that once felt limiting have become the foundation for my work in healing, teaching, and bringing light to others.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Today, my practice centers on helping others open up to their intuitive, spiritual abilities. I offer personalized healing sessions, teach spiritual tools for empowerment, lead weekly healing meditations, and serve as a spiritual guide. I also offer homeopathic consultations. It’s my greatest gift to help others discover their own inner light and create lives filled with purpose, peace, joy and empowerment.

Any big plans?
The future remains unwritten, and there’s profound wisdom in not holding on too tightly to what hasn’t yet arrived. I live in the moment and in present time each day with everything I do in my life. I ask spirit to guide me and help me with whatever I need to do each day. Recently, I have been creating a virtual learning and healing sanctuary for the soul. A space where people can reconnect with their spiritual essence without shame or pretense. This interview happened because someone in my community recommended me—a beautiful reminder that our interconnection is both practical and mystical. When we honor both dimensions, transformation becomes possible not just individually, but collectively. We are all one.
