- Honoring Your Body’s Rhythms with Lizzy Palmer Kim Romain & Louise Neil 46:25
In this episode of The Empowered and Embodied Show, Kim and Louise sit down with Lizzy Palmer, founder of Sync N, about how syncing with our bodies can help us redefine empowerment and release the shame that keeps us from fully accepting ourselves. From breaking free of societal “shoulds” to finding strength in self-advocacy, Lizzy shares her journey as a fitness professional and entrepreneur in the femtech space. Together, they explore how embracing each phase of our cycle—physically and emotionally—can help us move past judgment, rediscover joy, and truly connect with ourselves. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to redefine empowerment, reconnect with their body, and embrace their personal rhythm.
“The only absolute is what resonates with you. Empowerment begins with honoring that truth.” – Lizzy Palmer
Key Takeaways:
- Your Cycle, Your Strength: Our bodies aren’t cookie-cutter, and neither should our workouts be. Learn to adapt fitness and self-care to where you are in your unique rhythm.
- Release Shame, Find Empowerment: Empowerment is an inside job. Letting go of shame and misinformation about our bodies is key to reclaiming that power.
- Fitness as Self-Advocacy: Speaking up for what your body needs—even in a group fitness class—can be a profound act of self-care.
- Anger Is Valid: Every emotion, including anger, is a valid part of your cyclical journey. Channeling it can help you release and reconnect.
- Choice is Empowerment: With the right tools and knowledge, you can make intentional choices that align with your goals, values, and needs.
