082: From Pain to Power: Why Leaving Is the First Step to Healing


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you’re living someone else’s life—stuck in patterns, environments, and habits that don’t reflect who you truly are? In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie takes us on a powerful, deeply personal journey through what it means to advocate for yourself—and the transformative power of leaving what no longer serves you.

Drawing from her experience leaving the Amish community, battling an eating disorder, and reclaiming her health, Lizzie offers a roadmap for anyone ready to walk away from toxic environments, break free from destructive patterns, and finally choose themselves.

If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, felt trapped in cycles of comparison, or found it hard to stick to your health goals because of your surroundings, this episode is a must-listen.

Lizzie shares the key decisions that sparked her transformation, the importance of knowing your “why,” and why advocating for your health is the ultimate form of self-love.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

The Power of Leaving. Whether it’s a toxic friendship, self-sabotaging habit, or unsupportive environment—leaving is often the first step toward healing and growth.

Your Environment Matters. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. If they’re not aligned with your goals, it’s time to reevaluate the room you’re standing in.

Advocacy Is Action. Self-advocacy isn’t just about doctor’s visits—it’s in your daily choices: food, sleep, movement, and mindset.

From Comparison to Commitment. Lizzie opens up about her struggle with body image and how comparison nearly stole her joy—and how commitment to change brought it back.

You Are Not “Trying”—You’re Doing. Shifting from "I'll try" to "I will" creates a powerful mindset shift that drives real results.

Redefining Success in Health. True success isn’t about fast weight loss—it’s healing from the inside out. Lizzie shares a client story that proves long-term transformation takes patience, consistency, and deep self-trust.

Use Your Voice—Or Lose Yourself. People-pleasing may win approval, but it can cost you your health. Lizzie reveals how finding her voice changed her health, her career, and her life.
