What if your next breakthrough isn't about doing more — but responding better when you don't follow through?

In this episode, I'm sharing key lessons from our latest Defense cohort — the real work we do when the plan falls apart. Because starting strong is easy. Staying engaged when things get messy? That's the game.

We'll talk about:

• What "Defense" actually means (and why most people don't have one)

• Why chasing novelty is keeping you stuck

• The power of short-term focus, discipline, and tightening your transitions

• Highlights from the actual Defense playbooks — the strategies that work in real life

If you've ever felt like you know what to do but you just don't do it — this episode is for you.

✨ MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE

• The true cost of indecision

• Why we swing between over-control and no control

• Specificity, structure gaps, and transitional moments

• The real reason your progress stalls (it's not what you think)

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I didn't fully realize was impacting me — and maybe it's impacting you too.

If you've been feeling irritated, overwhelmed, scattered, or like you know what to do but just can't seem to follow through, this episode will shift something major for you.

We're talking about constant input — the slow, invisible overload that comes from podcasts, YouTube, group chats, Audible, social media… even the "positive" stuff like inspiration and education.

Because here's the truth:

You're not unmotivated. You're overloaded. And the more you consume, the harder it becomes to follow through.

We break down:

• Why information overload kills your clarity and consistency

• How this input creep drains not just your time, but your emotional energy

• Why follow-through feels harder than ever (and what to do about it)

• And how to create more space for peace, progress, and presence in your life

This isn't about deleting your apps or doing a digital detox. It's about reclaiming your focus — so you can actually act on what you already know.

🎧 Listen now and give your brain the space it's been craving.

In this fun and personal episode, I'm sharing what I actually want for Christmas this year — and spoiler alert: it's not much "stuff."

From a sauna hat and a flip phone to natural fiber underwear (yes, really), I'm walking you through the practical, intentional, and meaningful things I'm excited about this season. I'm also opening up about some deeper shifts — like why we're keeping Christmas simple for the kids, what our upcoming bedroom swap means to me, and the kind of experiences I want to create around the dinner table.

You'll also hear:

• Why I'm buying myself a flip phone

• How I'm thinking about "less is more" with kids' gifts

• The grain mill I can't wait to use

• What I want to create that can't be wrapped

• And why I'm leaning into connection over consumption this year

This episode is all about intentionality over impulse, presence over presents, and creating a holiday season that feels peaceful, simple, and aligned with the life I want to build.

If you're feeling the pull toward less doing, more being this Christmas — this one's for you.

f you're eating healthy, working out, doing "all the things," but still feel like your weight isn't budging — you have to hear this.

In this episode, I'm walking you through one of the biggest (and most overlooked) blocks to weight loss: chronic, low-grade inflammation.

We're going beyond the basics. This isn't just "sugar is inflammatory" or "cut processed food." We're talking about the cumulative, daily impact of everything from your toothpaste to your sleep schedule, your stress, your gut, your hormones, and more.

🔥 Here's what we cover:

• What is inflammation — and what makes something inflammatory?

• How chronic inflammation blocks fat loss (even with a good diet and exercise!)

• Signs you're inflamed (that have nothing to do with pain or swelling)

• How long it takes to see and feel results from lowering inflammation

• Subjective AND lab-based signs that you're healing

• My personal anti-inflammatory strategies, from milling flour to fiber, sauna, and sleep

• What I'm not doing (like eliminating everything or living in fear)

"We can't eliminate every inflammatory trigger. But we can lighten the load and give our bodies a real shot at healing."

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're not broken. You're just fighting against your environment—and it's a losing battle.

In this episode, Elizabeth gets real about the truth we all feel but rarely talk about:

Your willpower will never beat your environment.

From overflowing mudrooms to cluttered kitchen counters, chaotic homes create chaotic minds—and chaotic minds make impulsive decisions. Sound familiar?

This episode dives into:

• Why your space might be silently sabotaging your progress

• How clutter triggers stress, reactivity, and that "I need a break" urge

• The common household patterns that wear down your willpower

• And most importantly—6 simple things you can do to make your environment support your goals, not destroy them

You don't need a Pinterest-worthy house. You need a space that lets you breathe. You'll hear real-life, messy, relatable examples—like:

• Why there are 77 shoes in the mudroom (with only 5 people in the house)

• The Ninja Creamy that hasn't moved in months

• How to stop "moving" things and start putting them away

If you've ever thought, "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it"—this episode will hit home. HARD.

🔑 In This Episode You'll Learn:

• The overlooked link between clutter and cravings

• The sneaky ways your space increases stress and sabotages progress

• 6 actionable, doable, non-overwhelming ways to reclaim peace in your environment

It's easy to get caught up in all the health trends—saunas, red light therapy, cold plunges, expensive supplements—but at the end of the day, nothing will trump the basics.

In this episode, I'm walking you through two lifestyle changes I've made recently that are supporting my health in a big way. One is a little "crunchy," and one is super accessible. Neither replaces the big rocks of health (like reducing processed foods, stabilizing blood sugar, managing stress, and getting good sleep), but both have helped me reinforce the foundation.

Here's what we dive into:

• Why I started milling our own flour (and what you're really getting in store-bought flour)

• What "bleached" flour actually means—and what that's doing to your body

• What's really in dough conditioners (and why you want to avoid them)

• How fresh-milled flour tastes better, saves money, and massively improves nutrient density

• The simple morning fiber drink I take with psyllium husk and citrus

• How fiber helps you detox and reduce inflammation

• Why detox pathways matter for fat loss, hormones, and inflammation

And most importantly, how to stop chasing trends and come back to the daily practices that actually move the needle.

Let's get back to what actually works—small shifts with powerful results.

Episode Summary: I recently decided to go back into a weight loss phase, and in this episode, I'm telling you exactly why. Spoiler alert: it's not because I hate my body or feel like a failure—it's because of what I learned about how excess body fat impacts your brain, your long-term health, and your everyday clarity, energy, and decision-making.

We'll talk about:

• Why "feeling fine" can actually be a red flag if it keeps you stuck in complacency

• What I'm changing—even though I was already eating well and exercising

• How excess fat reduces brain volume, blood flow, and function (even if you feel healthy)

• Why your brain is absolutely capable of healing and what it needs to do that

• The real meaning of anti-inflammatory weight loss (and it's not just about food)

I'm also answering some of the biggest questions that come up around inflammation and weight, including:

• Can you heal your brain if damage has already been done?

• What if you know you need to lose weight but you're just not ready?

• What if you're overwhelmed and don't know where to start?

• How do you even know if inflammation is a problem for you?

It impacts our brain health, our energy, our clarity, our future.
