About me...
Hello, beautiful souls!
I’m Elizabeth, and welcome to Rise to Thrive Society—a space I’ve lovingly created for women ready to step into their power and truly thrive. Here, you’ll be seen, heard, and empowered to rediscover the incredible woman within, without judgment!
My Journey: From Fashion to Family
My journey? Let me take you back… I'm a first-generation daughter of Salvadoran parents, driven by a dream to build a new life. In 2004, I moved to New York City, not just for school, but to chase my dreams in fashion. By 2008, I landed my dream job as a buyer for Barneys New York. It was glamorous on the outside, but beneath the layers, I was juggling a fast-paced career, a new marriage, and motherhood. By 26, I had two wonderful boys, and life was anything but simple!
A Turning Point: Family and Sacrifice
By 2015, I was stretched too thin...raising two boys (one neurodiverse), supporting my husband’s business, and trying to hold myself together after a miscarriage. I kept asking, “Is there more to life than this?” Finally, I made the tough decision to step back from fashion and focus on my family, even though it felt like putting my dreams on hold.
2020: A Year of Challenges and Growth
Then came 2020: a global pandemic, three kids home for remote learning, and a marriage that was falling apart. On top of it all, my son’s close call with a suicide attempt shattered me. It was a wake-up call to put mental and emotional well-being first.
Meditation?
It wasn’t love at first sit. My thoughts ran wild, and honestly, wine seemed like an easier fix! 😅 But I stuck with it, and meditation became my lifesaver, teaching me patience, building emotional resilience, and unlocking deeper levels of creativity and intuition.
Rediscovering Myself: A Journey of Resilience
By 2022, after 14 years of marriage and trying to make everything work, I was tapped out. I couldn’t keep forcing square pegs into round holes. After serious soul-searching, I made the hard decision to pursue a peaceful divorce. My faith and mindfulness practices in meditation, journaling, yoga, and spirituality gave me the clarity and strength to move forward with grace. This journey taught me the power of boundaries, resilience, and reclaiming my confidence. I found peace in the chaos and, most importantly, I rediscovered myself.
Embracing Life’s Joys
When I’m not coaching, I’m soaking in the little joys of life:
• warm sunny rays
• hot yoga? Yes, please!
• crafting a tasty matcha
• deep talks with soul friends
• every. single. sunset.
• exploring upstate NY's natural wonders
• scents—palo santo, lavender, eucalyptus and sage, mmm! 🌿
• singing and dancing with my kiddos
Empowering Women Through My Own Journey
¡Mucho gusto! As a proud Spanglish-speaking Latina, I'm passionate about empowering mujeres everywhere. It felt only natural that my next step was becoming a certified Life Coach. Reflecting on old journal entries from my lowest moments, I realize just how far I've come, I never imagined I'd find such profound healing and peace.
My approach is rooted in the very tools that guided me through my wellness journey: daily mindfulness, yoga, meditation, breath-work, and a deep connection to faith and spirituality, along with my ongoing training. These practices saved me, and now they allow me to guide others on similar paths.

A New Earth by Ekhart Tolle...radically propelled my path forward.
Where was my first real job?

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Elizabeth Arias. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Elizabeth , we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is My confidence and self-esteem are both works in progress, evolving through continuous effort and self-discovery. While I feel more grounded and sure of myself than ever, I’ve learned that neither confidence nor self-esteem happens overnight. There’s no magic button to press that instantly makes you feel worthy or unstoppable. Both require intentional practices rooted in self-respect and self-care.
