Liz Torres Herrera: Buddhism and the Seeds of Change

In this episode of The Speaker Meeting, Liz T. reflects on how recovery and Buddhism intertwined to help her rebuild her life. Her story moves from risk-taking rebellion and the allure of substances, to health scares, legal troubles, and the moment she realized she needed to live differently.

The card that opened our conversation was the Ace of Pentacles—a symbol of new beginnings and planting seeds for growth. For Liz, it was the perfect mirror: each step in sobriety became an act of cultivation, tending to a life rooted in patience, clarity, and intention.

Through Buddhist practice, recovery groups, and the support of community, Liz has found one year of sobriety—and a new way forward. Her story is about relapse and resilience, self-forgiveness and spiritual practice, and the reminder that with care and nurturing, even the smallest seed can flourish.
