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
