To close out Season One of The Stiletto Room, I wanted someone who embodies purpose, softness, strength, and divine timing — and that woman is Liz Hernandez.

Liz is an Emmy-nominated television host, longtime radio voice of LA, founder of Wordiful, and one of the most intentional humans I know. In this deeply personal conversation, we trace her journey from taping fake radio interviews in her childhood bedroom to becoming a voice millions wake up to — and the life-altering detours that shaped her purpose along the way.

We talk manifestation, intuition, and trusting your gut — including turning down MTV’s move to New York, caring for her mother through dementia, and how grief gave birth to Wordiful, a movement built on the power of language, gratitude, and connection. Liz opens up about burnout, nervous system healing, boundaries, motherhood energy, losing her soul dog, and learning how to finally put herself back on the list.

This episode is about words — the ones we speak, the ones we lose, and the ones that save us. It’s about choosing peace, honoring grief, and remembering that you are already enough.

This is how you end a season — with truth, heart, and intention.
