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/tipsCopyright 2022-2023 All rights reserved.

  • Does Feeling Your Feelings Freak You Out?
    Jul 16 2025

    Have you ever felt like your emotions were just too much—too big, too heavy, too uncomfortable to sit with—so you ended up reaching for food instead of facing them?

    And somehow you find yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips or three scoops into the ice cream carton before you even realize what you're feeling? Like something was bugging you… but you couldn't name it. You just knew you needed to eat something to make it go away?

    Why does it feel so scary to feel your feelings… and what would actually happen if you stopped trying to fix or stuff them?

    In today’s episode, we’ll cover:

    • Why emotional discomfort makes us run (straight into the snack drawer)
    • Why feelings feel scary (especially when weight loss is your goal
    • How pushing feelings away with food doesn’t protect you—it traps you
    • How to safely sit with big feelings without getting overwhelmed
    • A step-by-step tool to help you feel instead of fix. (I promise it’s not scary, doesn’t delve up your past, and it takes less than 2 minutes.)

    So if you're ready to stop stuffing, start listening, and surf the waves of emotion without wiping out, then let’s go!

  • How People Pleasing Sabotages Your Weight Loss
    Jul 9 2025

    Have you ever said yes when you really wanted to say no, just to avoid disappointing someone? Have you ever ended up cleaning the kitchen at 10 p.m. while eating cookies over the sink, because you were running on empty from managing everyone else’s needs all day?

    Why does it feel so hard to speak up for yourself, set a boundary, or just take a moment to breathe, without guilt tagging along like a shadow?

    If you’ve ever felt like you have to be the glue, the fixer, the helper, the one who keeps it all together, this episode is for you.

    Today we’re talking about people pleasing. We’ll cover:

    • why your brain is wired to keep the peace,
    • how guilt, expectations, and resentment hijack your energy and your eating habits,
    • and how to shift from over-functioning to empowered, clear choices that support your goals and your well-being.

    So, are you ready to unpack people pleasing, poke around in your emotional pantry, and find out how to nourish your needs before you reach for the snack drawer? Let’s do it.

  • This is gonna take FOREVER!
    Jul 2 2025

    Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Ugh… this is going to take forever”?

    Maybe it was after stepping on the scale and seeing no change—again. Maybe it was that moment when you realized how far you feel from where you want to be. Maybe it was when you just wanted to feel comfortable in your jeans… and the button still tugged.

    And then that thought hits: It’s just too much. It’s going to take too long.

    Why does it feel like everything worthwhile takes too long—and why does that one little thought carry so much power that it stops us before we’ve even get a chance to gain momentum?

    In today’s episode, we’re peeling back the layers of the “It’ll take too long” story. You’ll learn:

    • Why your brain naturally resists slow progress ( that’s normal!)
    • How impatience is sneakier than you think, and how it sabotages you
    • What to do instead, so you can actually start feeling good as you go

    So if you’re tired of rushing, quitting, and starting over… and you’re ready to quiet the tick tock of your inner countdown timer and build a life that lasts—let’s dive in.
