Be the Light–The Psychology Behind Lasting Change | Ep. 473 with Lizzie Merritt

The New Psychology of Weight Loss [LISTEN NOW]

Woah…What a week it’s been!!! First off, I hope you had a great Easter weekend and had a chance to celebrate the miracle of this most sacred holiday of the Christian calendar. For me, it was great to have my son Brady home from High Point U for the long weekend and to celebrate with him and the family (including the growing IXP family)…at church, at IMPACT-X Performance, and just chilling. It was great to celebrate Easter Weekend with the family at Church and IMPACT-X Performance.

Speaking of IMPACT-X Performance, we just finished Week #2. WOW. My wife said it’s like birthing a new baby. I laughed and said, “You’re right! And I LOVE IT!!!!”

6 Big Things that Happened at IXP in Week #2:

• Melanie’s “STRETCH-X” class was packed on Saturday.
• Loved our 2 nd “SWEAT & SOUL” class. We only do this on Saturday but we had a great turnout of people on Easter weekend to SWEAT…and then to get a good dose of SOUL afterwards.
• Barrel sauna installed. We gotta tweak a few things on it but it should be operational early this week.
• Team Training. Loved coaching the Scripps Ranch Girls Lax team in the weight-rom this week…and then having them spend time in the Recovery Suite afterwards.
• Dylan Witt, IXP General Manager, is crushing it. He’s teaching some “SWEAT-X” classes and “Semi-Private Training” sessions, in addition to help leading the charge. #Boom
• PEOPLE. New people. Old people. And curious people. It was great to CONNECT with so many PEOPLE. #SoulSinging

WOW! What a Great Week #2 at IMPACT-X Performance San Diego!

I’ve got a very special guest on the podcast today—someone who I’ve had the privilege of working closely with and watching impact lives in a BIG way. Lizzie Merritt is in the TD IMPACT SHOW house. She’s a certified life coach, co-director of our Todd Durkin IMPACT Life Coaching Certification Program, and she just dropped her second book, Light: The New Psychology of Weight Loss.

Now listen…this conversation is not just about weight loss. This is about behavior. This is about mindset. This is about the patterns that keep showing up in your life—and why. Because here’s the truth… most people know what to do. But they’re not doing it.
And the question is…why?

Lizzie breaks it down in a powerful way. What looks like inconsistency… what looks like self-sabotage… what looks like a lack of discipline… is often something much deeper. It’s your nervous system. It’s your belief patterns. It’s the stories you’re carrying that are running the show underneath the surface. And we want to change that!

This episode is going to open your eyes. It’s going to challenge the way you think. And if you’re ready for it, it’s going to help set you free.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why self-sabotaging behavior is actually a signal, not the real problem
• How your nervous system impacts your ability to change and grow
• The real reason knowing what to do isn’t enough to create results
• How perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking keep you stuck
• Why emotional coping patterns drive habits more than logic
• How to shift from rigid rules to a mindset of experimentation
• What it means to build self-trust instead of relying on willpower
• How to identify and overcome the hidden beliefs shaping your actions
• Why expanding your life matters more than just changing your body
• What it truly means to “be the light” and step into your full potential

Let’s create a great week and let’s be sure to WIN these next 90-days!!!
Much love…and tons of IMPACT.
Todd
