    Be the Light--The Psychology Behind Lasting Change | Ep. 473 with Lizzie Merritt
    Apr 6 2026
    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 problemHow your nervous system impacts your ability to change and growThe real reason knowing what to do isn't enough to create resultsHow perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking keep you stuckWhy emotional coping patterns drive habits more than logicHow to shift from rigid rules to a mindset of experimentationWhat it means to build self-trust instead of relying on willpowerHow to identify and overcome the hidden beliefs shaping your actionsWhy expanding your life matters more than just changing your bodyWhat 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.

Lizzie is a certified life coach and best selling author of LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss and You Are A Miracle. She helps women stop blaming themselves for failed diets and finally understand how their brains actually work. As a former middle school science teacher, her work blends real- world brain science, humor, and a refreshingly honest approach to weight loss that actually fits real life. Lizzie is also a military spouse, a Marvel nerd, and unapologetically cries at cheesy commercials. If you've ever thought, "I know what to do, so why can't I just do it?" this conversation is for you.

  • The Doors Are Open… Now the Real Work Begins | Ep. 472

    The Doors Are Open… Now the Real Work Begins | Ep. 472
    Mar 30 2026

    What a moment. What a week. What a JOURNEY. On this week's IMPACT SHOW, Todd takes you behind the scenes of the official opening and first week of IMPACT-X Performance in San Diego. This isn't just about opening a gym…it's about vision, faith, resilience, and what it truly takes to bring a dream to life. From the highs of Grand Opening day to the quiet reflections of what it took to get here, Todd shares raw insight on gratitude, perseverance, and why this is just the beginning. If you've ever had a dream in your heart or felt called to something bigger—this episode is going to hit you deep.

    Here's what you'll take away from today's episode:

    • The power of reflection and why you must pause to appreciate how far you've come
    • Why gratitude—for both the struggles and the victories—is the foundation of greatness
    • What it really means to bring a vision to life (and the unseen challenges behind it)
    • How community, culture, and energy create something far bigger than just a business
    • The reminder that nothing great is built alone—and why your people matter most
    • Why "this is just the beginning" is the mindset that fuels long-term success
    • How to stay present in the process without rushing to the next milestone
    • The truth behind building something that becomes "more than a gym"—and how it becomes a movement

    At the end of the day, this episode is a reminder that your story matters. Every setback, every delay, every challenge—it's all preparing you for the moment your doors open or your dream manifests into reality. And when they do… that's not the finish line, that's the START LINE. The 'best is yet to come' is the mentality, but only if you keep showing up, stay rooted in gratitude, and continue to serve at the highest level. Let this episode fuel your fire, sharpen your perspective, and remind you why you started in the first place.

    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 let him 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.

  • Top Lessons from Building IMPACT-X Performance: Faith, Fire & The Fight to the Finish Line | Ep. 471

    Top Lessons from Building IMPACT-X Performance: Faith, Fire & The Fight to the Finish Line | Ep. 471
    Mar 23 2026
    This week's episode is a special one. I recorded it just days before opening and it's been a ton of work to get to the "start line." Today, I'm taking you behind the scenes—just days before opening IMPACT-X Performance—to share the truth about what it really takes to build something BIG. The setbacks, the delays, the pressure… but also the faith and the fire that keeps you moving forward when things get hard. Because here's the truth—we're never promised smooth sailing, but we are promised purpose. And this episode isn't just about opening a gym. It's about stepping into your calling, even when things feel uncertain and far from perfect. You don't need to have all the answers—God already does. You don't need perfect timing—you need faith. And you don't need complete certainty—you need the courage to take the next step anyway. So whether you're building your business, your body, your mindset, or your life, this episode is going to hit you right in the soul and remind you of what you're truly capable of. Let's go. WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE: Your vision MUST be bigger than your fear — or fear will winWhy waiting until you're "ready" is the fastest way to stay stuckThe reality that everything takes longer (and costs more) than expected—and how to stay grounded through itWhy details create the experience… and the experience creates transformationThe truth that no great mission is built alone—and how the right team changes everythingHow to choose faith over frustration when things aren't going your wayWhy culture will always beat equipment, strategy, or tacticsThe power of energy in leadership—and how your presence sets the toneHow to stay locked in when distractions hit by keeping your mission crystal clearWhy community is EVERYTHING when it comes to lasting impactThe mindset shift you need to adopt immediately: THE BEST IS YET TO COME My friends… this episode is more than just a list of lessons—it's a reminder. A reminder that the dream in your heart was placed there for a reason. It's not random and it's not by accident. And the challenges you're facing right now? They're not here to stop you—they're here to prepare you. They're shaping you into the person you need to become to step fully into your calling. So if you've been feeling that pull, that nudge, that voice telling you there's more… it's time to step into it. Stay patient through the delays. Stay faithful when things don't make sense. Stay focused when distractions try to pull you off course. And no matter what you're building—don't quit before the breakthrough. Because on the other side of the storm, on the other side of the uncertainty and the grind, is something greater than you can even imagine. And I truly believe this… the best is yet to come.
