Liz Moody is an author and the host of The Liz Moody Podcast. Her jam is really interviewing experts, doing research, and distilling things down into actionable steps and habits that can make our lives better, smoother, and happier.
I’ve learned a lot from Liz, and I just love what a unique character she is—with so many layers—which you’ll get a feel for today, if you don’t know her already. Another thing that is special about Liz, beyond her dedication to her own work and service, is how much she puts into the success and well-being of other women. For one, Liz is the ringleader of a group of women in this podcast space of ours. And she sees to it that we all collectively have all the intel possibly available to us to do our very best. Liz really embodies that phrase of all boats rising with the tide.
Today, we go through some of Liz’s life mottos, philosophies, habits, and ways of thinking that I find particularly compelling—like, your body is for living, not looking.
We talk about visualizing our future selves…The connection between novelty and meaning… And ways to add in micro-bits of novelty to our life—which, okay, I might have been a little resistant to…
Liz explains her match theory for the people we meet in life. And she shares some interesting research about friendship, like how many friends make sense in your inner circle, and why friendships are formed through something we tend to overlook.
We talk about salves for loneliness, if Liz’s skepticism toward spirituality might be changing, and goals we’ve brought into the New Year with us.
Oh, and we also talk about MAHA; agency and optimism; and control and anxiety. There’s a lot in here! Hope you enjoy it. Here we go.
