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

• The Inside Out Method explained: internal change to consistent action to physical results.
