Why Working on Your Mind Leads to Better Physical Results

In this episode, Lily explores why lasting physical results don’t come from willpower, restriction, or punishment, they come from working on what’s happening internally first. Drawing from her own experience in the professional dance world and her work as a trainer and mental health focused coach, Lily explains how mindset, self-talk, stress, sleep, and emotional regulation directly influence consistency, habits, and body composition.

This episode is about moving away from quick fixes and learning how calming the mind allows the body to change from a place of self-trust rather than self-criticism.

What you’ll hear in this episode

• Why changing how you look never fixes how you feel if the internal work is missing
• How Lily’s dance background shaped her approach to body image and coaching
• Why “quick fixes” often damage mental health and long-term progress
• The link between stress, sleep, emotional eating, and physical results
• Why surface level solutions don’t address the real issue
• How language and self-talk influence follow-through and consistency
• Shifting from “I have to” to “I get to” and why it matters
• Why affirming language builds trust with yourself and reduces burnout

This episode is for you if:

• you’ve achieved physical changes but still feel anxious or disconnected
• you rely on willpower and “pushing harder” to stay consistent
• food feels emotionally charged or stressful
• you want results without sacrificing your mental health

Small language shifts create powerful behavioural changes.

Episode summary

In this first episode, Lily introduces the Inside Out Method and shares the personal journey that shaped her coaching philosophy. From the pressures of the professional dance world and constant comparison, to finding strength and safety in the gym, Lily explains why true, sustainable change starts internally with self-talk, self-trust, and a healthier relationship with your body, and why the physical results follow when you stop relying on punishment and quick fixes.

What you’ll hear in this episode

• Lily’s background as a professional dancer and how perfectionism impacted body confidence
• How comparison, mirror-checking, and “food noise” can steal your presence and progress
• Why rest used to feel like weakness and how that mindset keeps women stuck
• How strength training became a turning point: confidence built through capability
• The Inside Out Method explained: internal change to consistent action to physical results.
• What this podcast will cover moving forward: training, nutrition, lifestyle and mindset and mental health tools
• The mission: helping women stop overthinking, reduce body anxiety, and feel calmer in their skin

Key takeaways

• Your relationship with your body affects how you show up for your goals.
• Self-talk isn’t “wishy washy” as it directly influences consistency and results.
• You don’t need extremes to change your body; you need a plan you can trust and repeat.
• Confidence grows when you focus on what your body can do, not just how it looks.
