About this episode

In this episode, Todd Durkin and guest Lizzie Merritt discuss the psychology behind lasting change and the deeper issues affecting behavior and mindset.

Who else is ready to win Q2 of 2026 and catapult your results for the rest of the year?

I've got a very special guest on the show 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……
