She Lost 90 Pounds and Still Didn't Feel Confident: Here's Why

We've all been there, tying our self-worth to weight loss, a job title, or a milestone we haven't hit yet. But what if that way of thinking is the very thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, Dr. Kasi Lacey and I get real about why so many high-achieving women struggle with confidence even after doing everything "right."Dr. Kasi is a psychologist, keynote speaker, behavior expert, and the author of Your Confidence Comeback. With over 15 years of experience in leadership and human behavior, she brings a powerful blend of psychology, real-world insight, and practical personal growth strategies to every stage she steps on.We dig into the inner critic (yes, we're naming her), the trap of comparison, and the moment Dr. Kasi walked away from a 13-year career to reclaim her identity. Whether you have young daughters at home or you're a high-performing woman wondering why the success still doesn't feel like enough, this episode is going to hit home.Conclusion:Confidence is never 10 pounds away. It is never found in a promotion, a degree, or a perfect morning routine. It's already inside you. Take one step today: notice your inner critic, name her, and then remind yourself that her voice is not the truth. You are enough, exactly as you are.In This Episode:- Why confidence is an inner work- Identity, values, and taming the inner critic- Taking responsibility to build inner confidence- How shame and guilt sabotage confidence and health goals- Why women struggle to slow down and listen to themselves- Dr. Kasi’s new book and the idea behind a “confidence comeback"Mentioned in the Episode:-Dr. Kasi’s Book, Your Confidence Comeback: https://yourconfidencecomeback.com/Preorder Carrie’s upcoming book, From Corset to Crown!-Get immediate access to the ebook and other special bonuses at: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrownCarrie’s Live Event in Nashville in October (2026): https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/liveevent2026Listen to This Episode on Your Favorite Podcast Channel:-Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/diet-disruptors/id1507293016-Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0zfk9YgYTM95RVKqcW3VGF?si=1a863a22bee5439f-Subscribe and watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carrieLupoliofficial/podcasts?sub_confirmation=1Connect with Dr. Kasi Lacey:Website - https://kasilacey.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drkasilacey/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkasilacey/ Connect with Carrie Lupoli:Website – https://www.carrielupoli.com/homepageInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/carrie_lupoli/Podcast Blog – https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/blogOther Related Episodes: Looking for more tips to optimize your health?
