Listen To This If Your Life Feels "Meh" (A Simple Science-Backed Fix)
29 april 2026 · 1 uur 11 min
My team is on our first ever retreat this week! I wanted to practice what I preach and give everyone the chance to relax and restore in Arizona, so this week, I hand picked one of my all-time favorite episodes to share with you. If you care about feeling good, about happiness, this episode is gonna change your life—I recorded it over a year ago and I still talk about it weekly. Also, it’ll make you feel good while listening. Enjoy, and see you next week for a fresh new episode! - xo Liz Lees meer
You've probably heard that you should spend more time in nature, practice gratitude, or meditate—but you may not know that one single emotion underlies the benefits of all of those things. Today, we're talking about awe: what it actually is, why the science says it might be the most important emotion you're not prioritizing, and exactly how to build more of it into your life starting today.
I'm joined by Dr. Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, founder of the Greater Good Science Center, and the world's leading researcher on awe. He's also the scientist behind the emotions in Pixar's Inside Out and Inside Out 2. Over 15 years of research, Dacher has studied awe across 26 countries, gathered over 2,600 stories of awe from around the world, and built a growing body of evidence showing that this one emotion can reduce anxiety, lower inflammation, ease chronic pain, combat loneliness, and even help with PTSD, sometimes more powerfully than pharmaceuticals.
The best part? You don't need a trip to the Grand Canyon to find it. Awe is closer than you think.
🎧 What you'll learn:
• Why three minutes of awe a few times a week can measurably change your physical and mental health
• The surprising sign that tells you you're actually experiencing awe (and how to know it's not just fear or beauty)
• How the eight universal sources of awe can act as a personal compass pointing you toward your life's meaning
• The one mindset shift that lets you find awe without going anyw…

Turns out, there are actually four totally different types of tired: Input Tired, Emotionally Tired, Physiologically Tired, and Existentially Tired. Lees meer

The Real Reason You're Anxious—That No One Is Talking About
18 maart 2026 · 1 uur 25 min
Have you ever wondered why anxiety is so hard to get rid of, even when you feel like you’re doing everything right? Maybe you’ve been meditating, breathing, journaling, and it still keeps coming up. Turns out, there's a reason for that, that I haven’t heard anyone else talk about. Lees meer
Owen O'Kane is a psychotherapist, three-time Sunday Times bestselling author, and former NHS Mental Health Lead who has spent 30 years at the intersection of physical and mental health, including a decade in palliative care.
In this conversation, Owen shares how anxiety is not an enemy to be defeated but a scared part of you that's desperate to be heard, and we get into exactly how to finally change your relationship with it.
🎧 What you'll learn:
Why anxiety is addictive, and the psychological mechanism that makes it almost impossible to let go of, even when it feels like it’s ruining your life
The reason most anxiety treatments don't fully work (and what’'s almost always missing)
What "positive beliefs about worry" are and how they might be sabotaging your recovery
Why anxiety can suddenly appear out of nowhere in adulthood, even if you had a seemingly normal childhood
The single most important question to ask yourself if you want your relationship with anxiety to actually change
Why all your breathwork, supplements, and wellness practices might be making things worse
The one question Owen asks every new client before they do anything else, and why he won't move forward until they can answer it honestly

How To Get Yourself To Do The Thing You’re Avoiding
14 januari 2026 · 1 uur 27 min
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. Lees meer
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

Why Manifestation Fails For So Many People—And The Exact Shift That Makes It Work
12 januari 2026 · 25 min
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. Lees meer
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)

Stanford Psychologist: Anyone Can Crave Exercise—Here's How
7 januari 2026 · 1 uur 35 min
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. Lees meer
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

Your Trickiest Weight Loss Qs, Answered: Cravings, Hormone Issues, Plateaus, Workouts & More
31 december 2025 · 1 uur 31 min
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. Lees meer
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

6 Questions to Ask Today to Make 2026 Your Best Year Yet
15 december 2025 · 26 min
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. Lees meer
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

Nate Berkus's 5 Secrets For Creating a Home You’ll Never Want to Leave
19 november 2025 · 1 uur 5 min
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. Lees meer
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. He also encourages you to shop local, lean into sustainability with vintage or thrifted finds, and enjoy the creative process of finding “that special piece you’ll have forever”.
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. Identify three things you love about the room and three things you don’t. Use the details you love as search terms to start uncovering your design language.

The ONE Skill Every Calm, Successful Person Has (And You Can Learn It Today)
17 november 2025 · 27 min
This is the life skill to end all life skills. Once you can do this, everything else becomes so much easier. This is something that top business people thrive at. This is something that people who do not get riled up by the news and all of the unprecedented times that we're living in have figured out. Lees meer
So what’s the skill? Getting comfortable with uncertainty.
The best part is it can be learned, practiced, and there’s science behind it too. Absolutely anybody can become more comfortable with uncertainty. In this episode, I'm going to teach you how.
🎧 What you’ll learn:
Why uncertainty tolerance is the #1 way to reduce anxiety
How to calm your amygdala when it won’t shut off
The “resilience list” I use to train my brain out of fear loops
Neutral/best-case training that beats doom-spiraling
Micro-steps and exposures that lower stress quickly
When you become comfortable with uncertainty, you're going to have much more energy because you're going to be less stressed. You're going to take more risks, which is going to result in far more success in your life—you're going to be unstoppable.
👉 Homework: Block out a 10-minute daily “worry window.” Set a timer, write your biggest worry, then list one neutral and one best-case scenario. Take one micro-action to move forward.
Don’t forget to follow or subscribe so you never miss a science-backed, practical tool that helps you feel better.

The REAL Science of Spirituality: Proof Of Life After Death & The Key To Feeling Happier
12 november 2025 · 1 uur 6 min
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. Lees meer
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.

Sneaky Signs It's Time To Break Up (+ 4 Tips To Bring The Spark Back)
10 november 2025 · 21 min
If you’ve been questioning your relationship, want to arm yourself with red flags to look out for in the future, or want tips to keep the spark alive—I made this episode for you. Lees meer
I share the science behind how to know when it’s time to call it quits and when it’s worth working it through. Plus, I share some research-backed secrets for turning red flags into green ones.
This isn’t about judgment or pressure; it’s about clarity. I’ll share exactly what to look for when I’m evaluating a relationship: from whether a partner expands your sense of self (or shrinks it), to how your nervous system responds around them. I’ll dive into powerful research from top psychologists including the #1 predictor of divorce with 94% accuracy, and what it actually means when someone makes you feel like too much, or not enough.
🎧What you’ll learn:
How to know if your partner is helping you grow—or holding you back
What anxiety around your partner could really be telling you
The “Bird Theory” and why small bids for connection matter so much
What the 4 Horsemen are (and why they predict most divorces)
How to use micro-vulnerability, daily rituals, and weekly check-ins to rebuild
What to do if you’re scared to leave—or scared to stay
✨ Homework: Try a 10-minute check-in with your partner this week. Ask: “What’s one way you felt supported by me?” and let me know how it goes.

If you find yourself constantly craving sugary sweets and desserts—this episode is for you. There’s a reason this is happening (and it's not entirely your fault!) and there are ways to stop your cravings—in the moment and for the long term. Lees meer

🎧What you’ll learn:
Why sugar lights up the same brain pathways as addictive drugs
How social media and screen time are increasing your cravings
