Podcast cover

The Liz Moody Podcast

In this episode of The Liz Moody Podcast, Liz interviews Elise Loehnen, author of "On Our Best Behavior," about the stories women tell themselves that prevent them from living their dream lives. They discuss performative motherhood, the difference between facts and stories, and how these stories manifest in relationships, parenting, and work. Elise shares personal anecdotes, including breaking her neck and realizing the self-imposed pressures she faced. They explore themes of control, fear, scarcity, and the importance of recognizing and challenging limiting beliefs. The conversation also touches on envy, societal expectations, and the need for women to support each other and embrace their potential. Elise provides practical tools and exercises from her workbook, "Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness," to help listeners break free from these stories and live more authentically.
