from The Liz Show: Executive Psychology & Performance Under Pressure
Send us Fan MailYou're capable. You've proven it. So why do you snap at your team before a big meeting, freeze on a decision you could make in your sleep, or procrastinate on the one thing that would actually move the needle?This episode breaks down what's actually happening — and it's not imposter syndrome. It's not a confidence problem either. It's your threat system running a program it learned in childhood, one that quietly equates your performance with your worth, your safety, your belonging.Liz walks through how that program gets wired in, why willpower and positive thinking can't override it once your amygdala is activated, and the three-step protocol to actually fix it at the root: separating your identity from your outcomes, retraining your nervous system through graduated exposure, and for Christians, grounding your worth in the theological realities of justification and adoption — so you stop performing for approval and start operating from rest.This is the work that changes how you show up when it matters most.Apply Here to Work with Liz 1:1: Support the showPlease leave me a review on Apple Podcast! ***LET'S CONNECT:***Checkout My Courses: Sign up for my Newsletter Website:Facebook:Tik-Tok - Instagram: Youtube: LinkedIn personal profile:
