The Liz Moody Podcast

This episode is a radical reframe of what a good life actually is, and how we can all get there. If you feel stuck, it’s gonna unstick you. If you’re struggling with problems that feel insurmountable, this episode will offer solutions you haven’t heard anywhere else.  I’m talking with Stanford professors Dave Evans and Bill Burnett. Their books have sold millions of copies around the world. They’ve helped us design our lives, design our work, and now they’re back to teach us how to infuse our lives with meaning, purpose and flow.  We get into all of their expertise, from the workplace to relationships to how to get the most of your one human life in this episode. It’s practical and deeply philosophical. It made me cry both recording it and then again looking back on the edit.  🎧 What you’ll learn: • How to use the life design thinking framework to make any decision • How to stop working on problems you can't solve and find the ones you actually can • The "reframing ladder" technique to unstick yourself from any life problem • The five mindsets that turn ordinary moments into a deeply alive life • How to escape the exhaustion trap without changing your schedule • Why Maslow got it wrong—and what actually sits at the top of the pyramid Check out our FREE “21 Days To Change Your Life Plan for Nutrition, Movement & Mental Health” we made for our listeners at https://pages.lizmoody.com/january.

We all have that one thing we're avoiding right now. Whether it's hitting the gym, starting that side hustle, or finally getting to bed at a reasonable hour—we keep putting it off even though we know it's exactly what we need to level up our lives. And trust me, I get it, Netflix and cozy blankets are calling my name too. But here's the really exciting thing—I sat down with the absolutely brilliant Kati Morton (she's THE expert on making hard things easier, with a master's from Pepperdine University and an incredible way of breaking down complex psychology into doable steps). We dove deep into why our brains resist change so much and, more importantly, how to actually get ourselves to do those big, scary things that lead to massive transformation. If you've ever felt stuck between knowing what you should do and actually doing it, this episode is going to be a game-changer. It's packed with those practical, science-backed strategies we love, but delivered in a way that feels like chatting with your smartest friend. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The shocking truth about comfort zones (and why "self-care" might actually be holding you back) • Why waiting for motivation is literally the worst strategy - plus what actually works • How perfectionism is sneakily sabotaging you (and what to do about it) • The game-changing "overthinker to action-taker" framework • My favorite cookie-based courage-building hack (yes, really) • A 5-minute trick to completely transform your schedule Check out the FREE “21 Days To Change Your Life Plan” we made for our listeners at LizMoody.com/January.

Two years ago, I made a vision board and put on everything I wanted to manifest for my dream life. I’d done enough research to know that manifestation isn’t BS—it’s actually backed by some incredibly impressive neuroscience. I was ready for that science to kick in, and for my life to dramatically change—and then—it didn’t.  Because I’m a longtime journalist, I investigated why it didn’t work, and what I found SHOCKED me, so that’s what we’re getting into in this episode—the sneaky reasons manifestation might not be working the way you want it to, and exactly how to fix that so all of your greatest dreams and goals can come true.  🎧 What you’ll learn: • The three key reasons your manifesting isn't working—and how to fix each one • How to create an "action board" that's 60,000 times more effective than a vision board • The nervous system regulation technique you must do before any manifestation practice • How to use the "reverse gratitude" exercise to shift from a scarcity to an abundance mindset • The neuroscience behind why manifestation is proven to work (when done correctly) Check out the FREE “21 Days To Change Your Life Plan” we made for our listeners at LizMoody.com/January.

I used to dread doing any type of workout. I remember thinking, maybe I’m just naturally more lazy. But it turns out, we’re all wired for it—I was just approaching it all wrong. Today’s episode is going to turn you into the type of person who gets excited to move  I’m thrilled to share this conversation with Dr. Kelly McGonigal, a Stanford professor, bestselling author, and someone who has spent decades studying the psychology and neuroscience of movement. Her work was pivotal in changing my relationship with working out. This episode isn’t about forcing yourself to work out harder. It’s about why we’ve been thinking about movement all wrong—and how to finally make it work with your brain instead of against it. 🎧 What you’ll learn: Why motivation is the wrong entry point for movement  What actually works to crave working out The wild impact movement has on preserving our dopamine levels as they decline with age How long it takes to enjoy working out The step counts of people who were depressed versus the step counts of people who felt full of meaning and purpose And so much more Check out the FREE “21 Days To Change Your Life Plan” we made for our listeners at LizMoody.com/January.

Today's episode is different. I’m not giving you the same BS weight loss advice you’ve heard over and over again. We're getting into the messy, nuanced questions that actually come up when you’re trying to lose weight in a way that’s healthy, shame free, and supportive of feeling the way you want to feel.  We’re talking about plateaus that seem to happen for no reason, cravings that feel out of control, hormones that complicate everything, workouts that backfire, and how to pursue weight loss without destroying your relationship with food—or yourself. And we’re doing it with someone I trust deeply to hold all of that complexity: functional registered dietitian and certified personal trainer Nicki Parlitsis, who has helped thousands of people lose weight in ways that actually last. She’s actually my personal RD and she’s helped me lose 30 pounds in a sustainable way over the course of a year, after I got some test results that served as a wake up call in my own life.  Today’s episode is going to help you create a body that feels amazing to live in. If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or secretly ashamed for struggling with something that everyone online makes look easy—this episode is for you.  🎧 What you’ll learn: How to break through a weight loss plateau  The common, "minuscule" mistakes that can stall your weight loss journey Strategies to manage hunger and cut calories without feeling deprived The difference between "head hunger" and "stomach hunger" The specific lab work and health markers (e.g., A1C, cholesterol, ferritin, thyroid panel) that indicate success or could be impeding your weight loss How hormonal conditions like Hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's and PCOS can affect your metabolism Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: How To Lose Weight In A Healthy Way with Nicki Parlitsis The Science Of Putting Together a Workout Routine To Hit YOUR Goals with Dr. Shannon Ritchey My Healthy Weight Loss Journey: Science-Backed, Pragmatic Action Steps That Actually Worked Mentioned in this episode: The 13 simple recipes that helped Liz lose weight in a healthy way The FREE “21 Days To Change Your Life, Week 1: Nutrition Plan” we made for our listeners at https://pages.lizmoody.com/january.

I walk you through six science-backed questions that will help you design your most aligned, grounded, and fulfilling year yet. These are the prompts I personally use to understand what’s working, what’s not, and how to move toward the version of myself I want to become. You’ll learn how to decode the patterns hiding in your best and worst days, how to use the expectancy effect to make your big dreams more achievable, why your values don’t matter unless you’re living them, and how systems (not motivation) actually determine your success. We’ll also explore the beliefs you need to leave behind in 2025, plus the neuroscience explaining why reflecting on your wins dramatically increases motivation. Whether you feel stuck, excited for a reset, or simply want 2026 to look and feel different than the year before, this is guaranteed to help.  If you want to go deeper, I created a free companion workbook + life audit at LizMoody.com/2026, to help you turn these questions into your most meaningful year yet. 🎧 What you’ll learn: How analyzing your “best” and “blah” days reveals the habits that shape your mood and energy Why your brain responds to what you believe is possible, not what’s true—and how to use this to achieve your goals The Expectancy Effect and why acting as if your success is inevitable actually rewires your brain How to identify your top three values and the wake-up-call question that reveals whether you're living them The surprising way capitalism conditions many of us to prioritize wealth over what we actually care about The Arrival Fallacy: why achievements never feel as good as the process that gets us there Why subtracting old beliefs and habits is more effective than adding more to your plate The dopamine-boosting reflection ritual that increases motivation and reminds you of how far you’ve come Check out previous Liz Moody Podcast episodes mentioned today: The Science Of Pain: Natural Ways To Manage Chronic & Acute Pain + Hidden Causes With Dr. Rachel Zoffness How To Figure Out Your Dream Career (and Actually Get It!) with Suzy Welch Proven Habits To Build Resilience: How To Handle Anything The World Throws At You with Sahil Bloom Subscribe to Liz’s Substack to download a FREE Connection Card Game: https://lizmoody.substack.com/welcome Ready to transform every part of your life?

I dive into the science of modern heterosexual relationships, and what I found shook me. Men tend to live longer and gain emotional and health support, even in low quality marriages. While women only receive these benefits in very high-quality marriages. To rebalance invisible labor and create fairer systems for women, I share tools you can use with insights I’ve gained from top experts. I also discuss the possible benefits of an unmarried life path. Whether you're single or partnered, after listening to this episode you'll leave feeling informed and empowered to create nourishing, sustainable relationships that benefit you. 🎧 What you’ll learn: The Fair Play Method for dividing household responsibilities The Time-Tracking Method for revealing hidden inequalities Why rotating career priorities reduces burnout, resentment, and wage gaps How to identify emotional over-dependence in relationships Two powerful ways for men to build emotional support systems outside their partners The 5-minute weekly check-in that can transform connection, communication, and fairness How to define what a truly good marriage looks like for you ✨ Homework: Choose one task or domain in your home—meals, laundry, scheduling, kids’ activities—and assign FULL ownership to one partner (planning, remembering, doing, follow-up). Or try the 5-minute weekly check-in with the three questions shared in the episode. Notice how shifting just one dynamic lightens your load and deepens mutual support.

Do you ever feel like you’re behind on the life you’re trying to build, despite constantly being busy? I sat down with Oliver Burkeman, one of the most influential voices on productivity and purpose, to share tools to make more time for the things that genuinely matter so you can do more of what you love to create your dream life. Oliver unpacks the psychology, sharing a radically different productivity approach: embracing your limitations, choosing what matters, and releasing the pressures holding you back. 🎧 What you’ll learn: What boredom and discomfort actually signal How to work on your dreams when you only have 10–20 minutes A grounding question to decide what’s truly worth your time How to trust yourself even if you’ve “let yourself down” before A moment-to-moment practice for choosing what life is asking of you now Why your brain clings to the fantasy of a “sorted, future version” of yourself What procrastination is really about (and why it’s not laziness) A simple tool—the Reverse Golden Rule—for becoming kinder to yourself How parenting reshaped Oliver’s relationship to time and control Why daily-ish habits work better than perfect streaks ✨ Homework: Spend 10 minutes doing something you know you want more of in your life—writing, calling someone you love, being outside, reading, creating. Not planning it, not optimizing it. Doing it. This is how change starts.

Have you ever walked into someone’s home and instantly felt something—warmth, calm, personality, creativity—and wondered why your own space doesn’t give you that same amazing feeling? In this episode, I sit down with the world’s top interior designer Nate Berkus to unpack the psychology behind creating your dream home—a place you're so proud of you never want to leave.  Nate breaks down practical tips to find your style, avoid trends, and insert more of you into your home, sharing that the real key to great design isn’t money or square footage—it’s your personal history.

Whether you're living in a bland rental or renovating a house, this episode gives you practical steps and advice you can use today to have a landing place that makes you feel incredible.  🎧 What you’ll learn: Why “eclectic style” is often code for “I don’t know what I like” How to figure out who you are at home—and why that’s the start of great design The real reason your rental feels flat (and how to fix it with cheap vintage finds) Why trends exist (hint: they’re not for your benefit) The four principles Nate uses to create personal, elevated, collected spaces How to build confidence in your own taste—even if design intimidates you Why vintage pieces instantly add soul and character (and what should never be vintage) How to combine contrasting styles without creating chaos A simple assignment to instantly sharpen your design direction ✨ Homework: Find a photo of a room you genuinely love.

Hear the scientific proof of a connection to something larger than ourselves from the world’s leading expert on the psychology of spirituality, Dr. Lisa Miller. Whether you're a skeptic or have a deeply held belief in a higher power, you'll walk away with a lot to think about. Dr. Lisa Miller, Columbia University professor and bestselling author of The Awakened Brain, shares that we’re all facing a spiritual crisis linked to our current mental health epidemic. She explains 20+ years of neuroscience research proving that all humans are born with innate brain circuitry for spiritual connection. Ignoring this part of ourselves can lead to feelings of being lost, depression, addiction, loneliness, and poor decision-making. But when we activate our "awakened brain," everything changes. 🎧 This episode is a must if you’ve ever: Felt emotionally disconnected despite doing “everything right” Wondered why traditional mental health tools sometimes aren’t enough Experienced grief, signs, or synchronicities you couldn’t explain Wanted a deeper, science-backed connection to your intuition or higher power We explore how to rebuild your spiritual awareness without dogma or religion—using simple, brain-based tools anyone can try. ✨ Homework: Try Dr. Miller’s “council of guidance” practice from this episode. Close your eyes, set a question on your heart, and invite in your higher self, ancestors, or spiritual figures. Notice what comes through—and journal about it.
