  • Inspiration and comfort all in one!

    Lizzie is a wonderful coach-she offers great insights while also normalizing that we make sense and that food is not moral and eating too much is not a failure. The concept of not dieting and listening to your body really speaks to me and her book Light is an absolute game changer!!

  • What we tell ourselves

    Lizzie has a great way of explaining who we talk to ourselves about what we put into our bodies. She allows us to see when we are kinder to ourselves we drop the shoulder the guilt and energy around the idea food is bad for us.

  • Lizzie is the coach we all need!

She is a natural teacher, gifted coach, and explains everything so clearly and in a way that is easily understood and applied to our unique circumstances.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Your Boundaries Never Stick
Q: What role does grief play in boundary work?
Grief accompanies the loss of the life you pictured; acknowledging and sitting with that grief enables a clearer, truer path forward that honors both reality and personal growth.
Why Your Boundaries Never Stick
Q: How can someone start implementing a boundary without getting overwhelmed by guilt or fear?
Start with small pauses, 10-15 seconds, and build to longer practices; use moments of validation, grounding, and inner conversation to anchor boundaries and gradually increase adherence while honoring your own needs.
Why Your Boundaries Never Stick
Q: What happens after you set a boundary, and why do people backlash?
Backlash arises because some people benefited from the old dynamic; the conversation emphasizes staying with the boundary, validating emotions, and choosing actions aligned with one's values rather than others' expectations.
Celebrating 100 Episodes with Special Guest Corinne Crabtree
Q: How did you figure out how to talk to yourself differently?
By realizing that harsh self-talk didn’t motivate but instead led to quitting, and that I needed to be more compassionate with myself.
Celebrating 100 Episodes with Special Guest Corinne Crabtree
Q: What was different for you the last time you lost weight?
The biggest change was not being in a hurry, recognizing that the past quick-fix diets didn't last.
