Hi, I'm Lizz
I’m Lizz Huerta, an author and artist based in Chula Vista, California. For over 25 years, I’ve worked in the worlds of art, storytelling, and activism. My debut novel, The Lost Dreamer (2022), was one of the first Latinx fantasy novels published by a major publishing house and became a finalist for the Barnes & Noble Book of the Year award. I teach creative writing, offer creative consulting, and speak publicly about creativity, storytelling, and lived experience. After taking a two-and-a-half-year pause from my professional life to care full-time for my father during his battle with ALS, I’m now returning to my work carrying both grief and a deeper sense of purpose. Looking forward to connecting and collaborating.🇲🇽🇵🇷🌈
Mental Expansion
What part of you is ready to grow beyond what feels familiar—and what would become possible if you trusted that expansion fully?

I'm ready to expand in every way. In 2022 I fulfilled my lifelong dream of becoming a traditionally published author and was LIVING my dream; my book was a best-seller and I was doing speaking gigs all over the country. I loved my life, I was never happier or more fulfilled. Then my father was diagnosed with ALS and I walked away from everything I had worked toward to move in with my parents and care for him full-time until his death a few months ago. I'm trying to get my momentum back but disappearing (whilst aligned with my values) at the top of my game was a shock to my system. I want to recapture my drive, my passion for creation. Re-entering the world of creativity after a few years away is challenging. If I trust my expansion, I know I'm unstoppable; I just need to find my way back. (thanks to @Chris Bustos for opening the vulnerability portal in this post and making it easier for me to be vulnerable too)
