Regaining Agency Through Small, Controllable Actions

If you’ve been feeling off—mentally, emotionally, or just energetically—me too. I open up about my real-life mental health struggles and what’s been going on behind the scenes.  And because this is the Liz Moody Podcast, I also share the mental health tools that are helping me navigate one of the hardest seasons I’ve experienced in a long time. No toxic positivity. No pressure to perform. Just honest support and science-backed practices that have been getting me through.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, burnout, or a general feeling of overwhelm, you’ll walk away with some accessible, doable strategies to help stabilize your nervous system, create a sense of control, and remind yourself: you are not alone—and this won't last forever.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your emotional pain is valid—even if others “have it worse”
• The science behind stress, trauma, and your nervous system
• What I do when I have no motivation (and how I still show up)
• The routines that are helping me feel grounded and less anxious
• Why agency—over even the smallest things—can change your brain
• How to share your feelings without shame
• The mindset shift that helped me stop fearing aging
• Why healing doesn’t mean rushing or fixing—just supporting yourself
