Who else is ready to win Q2 of 2026 and catapult your results for the rest of the year? If so, today starts with some reflection, addressing your pressing challenges, obstacles, and issues…and of course setting some significant goals for the next 90-days as well. That's why I kicked this episode off with a challenge—a "WIN 90-Days" Challenge. Listen in and STEP-UP! No fluff…Just truth, clarity, and action.

And then… we go deep. 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… 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

Here's what I want you to really hear… you're not broken. You're not behind. And you're not lacking what it takes. What you might be experiencing right now—the frustration, the inconsistency, the resistance—it's not a character flaw. It's feedback. It's information. And when you learn how to read that information, when you learn how to work with your mind and your body instead of fighting against it, everything starts to change.

This is where growth happens. This is where breakthroughs happen. Not in perfection… but in awareness, ownership, and action.

So as you step into this next quarter, I challenge you—do the work. Answer the questions. Get clear on your goals. And most importantly, commit to becoming the person who follows through.

If this episode hit you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Make sure you're subscribed to the Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW, and keep showing up week after week to get your mind right and your heart strong.

Let's make Q2 a winning quarter. Let's build momentum. Let's create impact. If this episode fires you up, make sure to LIKE it, COMMENT your biggest takeaway, and SHARE it on your social media. Tag Todd and Lizzie and let them know what hit you most. And most importantly—send this to someone who needs to hear it today. You never know whose life you could impact with one message.
