Welcome to the Confident Body Podcast where we talk about all the mental and emotional parts of weight loss that diets don’t tell you. I spent most of my life feeling self-conscious about my body, looking for the next diet, or wishing I could just lose a few pounds. After feeling massive imposter syndrome teaching fitness, I began to wonder if there was more to feeling great than just nutrition and exercise. I realized that feeling confident in your skin is more about what’s between your ears than what’s on your plate. I began to understand how diets go against the way your brain is naturally wired and how diets make it so hard to lose weight long term. I learned specific strategies and tools to work WITH my brain to lose weight for good and finally feel confident in my body. And you can too. If you want to look in the mirror and see what’s RIGHT about you…Learn solutions that are easy and fit your busy life…Find out how to train your brain for weight loss…and love yourself and your body all the way down the scale, then let’s go. lizzie@confidentbody.coach www.confidentbody.coach www.confidentbody.coach/tips

  • Are You Measuring Your Worth by Your To-Do List?
    Feb 19 2025

    Have you ever felt like your entire sense of worth comes from how much you’re doing for others?

    Like, if you’re not constantly checking things off your list, making meals, running errands, or solving everyone else’s problems, then… what’s your purpose?

    And if you do take a moment for yourself—just to sit, breathe, maybe even (gasp!) relax—you feel a wave of guilt because shouldn’t you be doing something?

    That’s exactly what we’re talking about today. We’ll unpack:

    • Why it’s so hard to take time for yourself without guilt.
    • How resentment might actually be pointing to what you really want.
    • And how to find your worth beyond being “needed.”

    So, are you ready to reclaim your rest, redefine your worth, and release the pressure to do it all?

    Aw yeah ya are! Let’s go!

  • Self-Doubt Isn’t the Problem—What You Do With It Is
    Feb 12 2025

    Have you ever felt like you were the only one struggling with weight loss while everyone else seemed to have it all figured out? Maybe you’ve thought, If I really wanted this, I’d be doing better by now. Or Why is it so easy for them, but I keep messing up?

    Or Have you ever set your sights on something exciting—maybe a new job, a passion project, or even a new relationship—only to feel that voice creep in and say, “Who am I to do this?” That’s the sneaky little bugger we call imposter syndrome. And oh, does it love to mess with our heads

    Now, let me ask you this—what if those thoughts weren’t facts? What if that self-doubt, that comparison, that imposter syndrome wasn’t a sign that you’re failing but just a normal part of the process?

    Today, we’re diving into why imposter syndrome and self-doubt show up in weight loss, why waiting to feel ready is a trap, and how to stop comparison from stealing your progress. We’ll cover:

    • Why self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re human.
    • How doubt and action can coexist (yes, you can feel unsure and still make progress).
    • The sneaky way comparison makes you feel like a failure and how to flip it to fuel your success.

    A lot of times imposter syndrome whispers “Who am I to do this?”. Well by the end of this episode, I hope you’ll be thinking “Who am I NOT to?”

    If self-doubt and comparison have been steering your journey, it’s time to take back the wheel. Are you ready to stop letting self-doubt and comparison call the shots?

    Aw yeah ya are! Let’s go!
