The Liz Show: Executive Psychology & Performance Under Pressure
Welcome to The Liz Show: Executive Psychology & Performance Under Pressure.
Hosted by Elizabeth Louis, an executive psychology advisor specializing in identity architecture, thinking traps, and performance under pressure, this podcast explores how high-performing individuals think, decide, and operate when the stakes are real.
Episodes break down the psychological patterns that shape decision-making, confidence, composure, and leadership capacity. Topics range from cognitive distortions and identity structure to behavioral economics, high-performance psychology, and the internal constraints that limit expansion.
Elizabeth also integrates biblical wisdom throughout many conversations, reflecting her own Christian worldview and the role faith can play in shaping identity, responsibility, and resilience.
Some episodes focus deeply on psychological frameworks and performance science, while others explore the intersection of psychology, faith, and personal responsibility.
If you're interested in understanding how internal architecture affects performance in business, leadership, and life, The Liz Show examines the patterns underneath how people think, act, and grow under pressure.

How I Traced My Neuroticism Back to Its Source & Found This Abandoned Part in Me
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this unpolished, personal follow-up on neuroticism, I ask for psychological safety while sharing how a 16-year pattern of evening self-soothing—drinking, smoking weed, or overeating—led to next-day self-hatred, symptoms, and lost peace. After years of trying to break the cycle, I traced its origins past anorexia (nearly fatal at 15) to the years I had blocked out: ages 8–12, when I was frequently s*xually abused, deeply lonely, neglected, and constantly told I wasn’t enough, while my home was unsafe and my mother was cold and violent. I connect boredom and evenings to abandonment and fear, explain how hypervigilance shaped my neuroticism, and describe reconnecting through parts work with the unseen 8–12-year-old part of myself.
