From The Archives: Elizabeth Lombardo, Ph.D.

In this episode of the GDA Podcast, Kyle Davis sits down with Elizabeth Lombardo, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author, to explore how our mindset shapes the way we handle stress, setbacks, relationships, and success. Elizabeth explains why everyone has an inner critic and how learning to manage that voice can help us change the way we think and respond.

Elizabeth shares how a patient she met during her postdoctoral training changed her perspective on happiness by showing her the power of focusing on what remains rather than what has been lost. She also explains how stress can narrow our perspective, why negative thought patterns can become automatic, and how intentionally practicing new ways of thinking can help us create healthier patterns.

Key topics include:

• How our inner critic can influence the way we think, perform, and respond to stress
• Why perspective and focus play such an important role in happiness
• Rewiring negative thought patterns by consistently practicing new ways of thinking
• Viewing setbacks as data instead of personal failures
• Building unconditional self-worth that isn't dependent on achievement or other people's approval
• Recognizing and overcoming imposter syndrome and negative self-talk

Elizabeth’s message is a reminder that the way we think isn't fixed. By becoming more aware of our inner critic, shifting our perspective, and intentionally practicing healthier thought patterns, we can change how we experience challenges and how we show up for ourselves and others.
