In this unforgettable episode of Liberty Wellness, I sit down with my dear friend Liz Nieves—a woman whose story is filled with faith, fire, and fierce resilience.

Liz shares her journey of escaping communist Cuba at just 7 years old, building a thriving business here in the U.S., and selling it all to answer a new call: supporting her husband through a rare cancer diagnosis. That pivotal moment led her straight to the Nutritional Therapy Association, where she began learning how to truly nourish and care for his body—and her own.

This conversation is raw, real, and rich with laughter, tears, and truth. We talk about the power of grit, the role of faith in healing, and how God weaves purpose into every season of our lives—from hardship to hope.

You’ll walk away inspired, encouraged, and reminded that even in the messiest moments, there's beauty, strength, and redemption.
