Unapologetically
Awake
Alive
Lit Up
Welcome
I’m so glad you found your way here.
I'm LiYana Silver,
Relationship Coach & author of Feminine Genius and Waking Up in the Dark Night of Divorce. I work with women* who refuse to shrink or dim, with those in a dark night of heartbreak & with couples in crisis - who want to be unapologetically alive, awake & aligned.
With 24 years of deep work with clients, teaching, mentoring, and writing you two books, and with both arms, all my heart, and the full span of my soul,
here's what I want for you:
- No magic charm to ward away the hard stuff and heartbreak (such charms don't exist anyway) but tools to keep you upright when the waves come - so you can live well now, not someday.
- A true break from the repeating patterns of your past. So you stop getting dragged into same-old shit that makes you feel like shit. And can sit with humility on the throne of your magnificence.

- Radical refusal to shrink or dim (even if you need a fair bit of help keeping your inner fire lit, like we all do).
- Self-trust that feels clear and true, no matter who says you’re wrong.
- Bone-knowing that you belong, first and always, to yourself.
- A soft heart and strong hands, so you can grab tight to the tail of your joy and let it lead you into a life that is beautiful and meaningful.
Exactly who you're becoming.
* By woman, I mean anyone who claims or is reckoning with that identity and is living with the pervasive effects of misogyny.

What worked yesterday
is not always what works today

That's why I wrote you these books

Waking Up in the Dark Night of Divorce: The Radical Road Through Breaking, Awakening, and Self-Reclamation

There aren’t words for what you’re going through. It’s hard, love, one of the hardest things ever. It's a rip straight to your heart.
Of course you’re panicked and can’t breathe. Of course it’s so dark you don’t even remember the word light. Of course it feels like everything is burning and all is lost.
But you are not lost. You are somewhere: in one of life's most potent rites of passage.
Divorce isn’t a failure, it’s an initiation.
The ending of the relationship is also the beginning of who you are becoming: fully awake, fully alive, and fully yourself.
This book is a roadmap for moving bravely through a breakup, breaking the repeating patterns, reclaiming what you lost in the relationship, and rebuilding a life that is luminous with love.
Let this heartbreak remake you.

Feminine Genius:The Provocative Path to Waking Up and Turning On the Wisdom of Being a Woman
‘Feminine Genius’ means being in a state of skill, self-confidence and self-trust. It means knowing who you are.
It means shredding the social scripts that run our lives and other people’s expectations of you so you can hear your own voice, first.
So you can see yourself as beautiful & valuable, now.
So you can get out of overwhelm and overwork, gladly.
So you can prioritize the needs of your body, energy, and spirit, finally.

Going through a dark time is not a punishment.
It’s an invitation.
To see yourself differently,
treat yourself reverently,
and live your life meaningfully.

Start Your Journey
1:1 Transformational Coaching
This is the work that can truly change everything.
Because we work immersively and holistically, I can only work with a handful of 1:1 clients at any given time.
Anchored with deep-dive 1:1 work, we will also stay connected in between our sessions. You'll be supported with materials, bespoke practices, and classes, as needed.
We will transform more in our months together than is often possible over multiple years with other modalities.
- Repattern the residue left by personal & cultural trauma
- Get free of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the limits that have been imposed upon you
- Hear your own voice. Stop the inner war. Develop audacity. Infuse your life with more pleasure and play.
- See yourself as the brilliant woman you are
- Navigate your life, relationships & work with skill, integrity & JOY

Bring me the toughest, most intractable question in your life. And we'll create an incredible breakthrough in just a few hours.
In our Metamorphosis session, we get crystal clear and specific about which persistent pattern, limiting belief, roadblock, or stuck place will be our focus of transformation.
That thing that’s tripping you up?
That you don’t want to carry into this next chapter of your life?
I’ll walk you through my unique process — a powerful combination of breakthrough modalities I have refined over the last 24 years.
And we will transform it. Finally.

For partners at a turning point
When you still love each other. But the undertow of your entrenched dynamic might be stronger.
Recurring conflict. Fallout from betrayal. Sexual dissatisfaction. Years of growing distance. Perimenopause. Exploring consensual non-monogamy.
In our direct, compassionate Three-Phase Process, you'll wake up to your entrenched dynamic, do deep healing, and learn key relational skills for your day-to-day and moment-to-moment.
Without this, the same arguments, shutdowns, resentments, impasses, and disconnection will keep returning—no matter how much insight, effort, or love you bring.
This work exists for this moment: When you want to not only understand what keeps derailing you—and also learn how to stop it, turn it around, and (re)create an aligned, passionate relationship.
