Ep.121 They Told Me to Tone It Down… Again.
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on a conversation that hit a nerve: I was told by my marketing team to look “less fit” in my ads—because apparently, women won’t buy from someone who looks too healthy or confident. Is that true? And if so, what does it say about how we see other women—and ourselves? In this episode, I’m unpacking why we’re conditioned to shrink, why we choose “safe” over “effective,” and what it really takes to stop apologizing for being too much. Join my new KICKSTART here: When you're ready, here's how I can help you...

Ep 120 Men Would Never Tolerate This: A “What if” Rant About Menopause
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
Let’s be real—if men had hot flashes, hormonal weight gain, and full-body anxiety from fluctuating estrogen, there would be product lines, prime-time documentaries, and government-funded leave policies. But women? We’re told to hydrate and “hang in there. In this episode, I go on a well-deserved rant about what the world would look like if men had to navigate menopause—and how wild it is that women have been tolerating symptoms that wreck our sleep, mood, bodies, and confidence with barely any real support. We’ll talk about: Why this isn’t about bashing men—but exposing the...

EP. 119 But I Already Eat Healthy: Why That’s NOT the Problem (And What No One Told You About Midlife Metabolism
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
You’re eating healthy. You’re working out. You’re doing all the things. So why does your body still feel stuck? In this episode, I’m breaking down the #1 thing most women over 40 are missing when it comes to weight loss and metabolism — even if they think they’re already doing everything right. We’ll talk about why “healthy habits” aren’t always helpful in midlife, what’s actually happening when your metabolism downshifts, and how to rebuild the trust your body needs to start responding again. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about finally doing what works...

Ep. 118 Would You Sell the Dog? What We Say Matters vs. What we Choose
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
You’d never sell your dog to close a deal… right? In this episode, I’m sharing a true story that stopped me in my tracks—about a real estate deal where a dog was part of the negotiation. And more importantly, what it got me thinking about. Because while most of us wouldn’t sell our pets for comfort, convenience, or money… We do sell pieces of ourselves all the time. Your time. Your health. Your boundaries. Your peace. We trade them away—bit by bit—for temporary ease, approval, or to avoid discomfort. And over time, that trade leaves us feeling lost, exhausted, and disconnected...

Ep 117 It’s Not That You’re Too Busy—It’s That You’ve Set the Bar Too High
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time” and then watched yourself do nothing… even when you did have a few minutes—you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m unpacking a pattern I see in the smartest, most capable women I coach: They’ve set the bar so high for what “counts,” they end up doing nothing at all. We’re talking about high-threshold thinking—why it’s not a discipline issue, how it’s rooted in overperformance, and the subtle ways it’s keeping you stuck in all-or-nothing cycles that don’t match your real goals or life. If you’ve been waiting for the...

Ep. 116 When You Become the Strong One: A New Chapter No One Prepares You For
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
This episode is a personal one. After a sudden call to care for both of my aging parents, I was reminded—again—that we are officially in that chapter of life. The one where our roles shift, priorities change in an instant, and we realize that our strength—physical, mental, and emotional—isn't just for us. It's for the people who raised us. In this episode, I’m sharing the moment that brought it all home, and the messy, often conflicting emotions that so many women are carrying as they become caretakers—while still working, raising families, and trying to maintain their own...

Ep. 114 What You THINK You’re Signing Up for… VS. What Actually Changes Your Life
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
When you work with me, you think you’re signing up for weight loss. What you’re actually signing up for is… A total shift in how you see yourself—and what you’re willing to believe is possible. In this episode, I unpack the real reason so many smart, capable women stay stuck in a cycle of half-started plans and “maybe next Mondays.” It’s not because they’re lazy or lack willpower. It’s because they’re chasing surface-level solutions for deep-rooted blocks. We’ll talk about: The difference between structure and true change Why your current identity is...

Ep 113 The Pressure to Impress Isn’t Discipline—It’s Disconnection
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
If you’ve ever felt like you should be able to hold it all together—meal prep, workouts, work deadlines, family, the mood of the house—and still find yourself exhausted, stuck, or silently spiraling… this episode is for you. Today, we’re unpacking the hidden pressure to “get it right” that so many high-achieving women carry. I’ll show you how this drive to impress isn’t actually helping your progress. It’s disconnecting you from the very things that would move you forward. We’ll talk about: Why perfectionism in your health journey often disguises itself as...

Ep 112 What You Really Mean When You Say You Want a “Lifestyle” Change
The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy
You say you want a lifestyle change, but do you really know what that means? In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason so many women over 40 stay stuck in the lose-regain-repeat cycle… even when they swear they’re “doing everything right.” We’ll talk about the hidden identity that’s sabotaging your success, why lasting weight loss can’t come from a temporary mindset, and what actually needs to shift in your metabolism and your mindset for change to stick. I’m sharing my story, a little of my mom’s story, and what I see everyday in the women I coach. This one’s...
info_outlineWe’re told we need more courage.
