    Burnt Out? You Don’t Need a New Job—You Need This
    Feb 11 2026
     Have you ever wondered if you’re burnt out or if this is just the price of participation in the modern economic climate? And what if you can't change jobs? Is it possible to make your job more purposeful and satisfying, even if you're trapped in it? I chat with Amina AlTai, the author of The Ambition Trap and an executive coach who's helped thousands of women optimize their work lives. She answers all of these questions and gets into why you’re burnt out and exactly what you can do about it, no matter your situation—if you’re stuck in a job you hate, if you’re looking for a new job, if you love your job but it’s exhausting you—you’ll end this episode with pragmatic steps to feel better ASAP. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The 3 types of burnout and how to identify which one you have • The 5-part framework for purposeful work—use it to decide if you should stay in your job or quit • How to tell if you're in the wrong career (before you waste years feeling miserable) • The hidden wounds driving your overwork—and how to stop seeking validation through achievement • Why your "zone of genius" matters more than your passion (and how to find yours in 3 steps) • The 60/40 rule: the exact ratio you need to avoid burnout • How to spot burnout red flags during a job interview (so you never accept the wrong offer again) • The best type of vacation for actually healing burnout • Why invisible labor is draining you—and how to stop being the "office therapist" • The one question to ask yourself on Sunday night to eliminate the Sunday scaries • How to set boundaries at work without getting fired (using the SBIS framework) • The mapping practice that regulates your nervous system in 2 minutes If you liked this episode, check out these previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast: • Game Plan For When You Feel Stuck, Unmotivated Or Burnt Out: Simple, Science-Backed Hacks That WORK • How To Figure Out Your Dream Career (And Actually Get It!)

  • The Surprising Reason You're Not Actually Behind In Life

    The Surprising Reason You're Not Actually Behind In Life
    Feb 9 2026
    I feel like everyone lately has been talking about “feeling behind in life”, so I decided to recirculate this popular episode at a time when we all truly need to hear it. I share why so many of us feel like we’re ‘behind’—we tell ourselves we should have more money, should already own a home, or should be having babies by now. But what’s happening in our psychology to make us feel this way? And how do we fix it? I answer those questions and share science-backed insights and strategies to help you stop feeling ‘behind in life’ and start embracing where you are. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The “gold medal syndrome”—a psychological trap that makes Olympic gold medalists still feel inadequate • The "arrival fallacy"—why getting what you want often makes you less happy • Why your messy, non-linear path is actually a key ingredient of a well-lived life • The four-step method to stop comparing yourself to everyone else's highlight reel • How to identify the invisible "shoulds" controlling your life (and break free from them) • What dying people actually regret — and why it's never about the timeline you're stressing over • The secret to finding extraordinary moments in your ordinary, everyday life Check out the previous episode of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed: The Seven-Minute Secret To Happiness That No One Is Talking About with Dr. Dacher Keltner Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

     A lot of us know the physical and mental benefits of sex, and yet so many of us are not having the amazing sex we want. So I wanted to know—why don't we crave sex even though we like it?

I get into the REAL reason it’s so hard to make best friends as an adult, and exactly how you can fix it. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The hidden reason adult friendships fail before they start • The "creation era" vs. "cozy era" of friendship • A therapy trick to help you make new friends • The best first friend hang ideas • The exact number of hours it takes to turn someone into a close friend • How to fast-track friendship without the pressure • How your phone is impacting your ability to make real friends Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: The Secret To Making Soul Satisfying Friends As An Adult (Avoid The Mistake Everyone Makes!)
