Some conversations feel like coming homeāand this one is exactly that.
In this deeply honest and expansive episode of The Right Room, Hilary Phelps sits down with Liz Baker Plosserāauthor of Own Your Morning and former Editor-in-Chief of Womenās Healthāfor a conversation about change, self-trust, and what it really means to become who you are.
Hilary and Liz first met in a professional setting, but within minutes it was clear: this wasnāt just a meetingāit was the beginning of a true connection. Their bond grew from shared values and mutual respect into a treasured friendship built on truth, humor, and a love for asking better questions.
Now, in this episode, they explore everything from career transitions and letting go of titles, to mental health, sobriety, infertility, strength training, and the quiet inner work that so many high-achieving women are doing behind the scenes.
Liz opens up about walking away from a major career in wellness mediaānot because she had to, but because she felt called to step into something more aligned and more personal. She shares the discomfort and growth that came with āturning the cab light on,ā as she puts it, and beginning the vulnerable work of becoming Lizānot the job title, not the brandājust her.
Together, Hilary and Liz explore the nuanced differences between self-esteem and self-confidence, and how so many women chase the latter while quietly neglecting the former. Liz reflects on her decision to stop drinkingānot as a moment of rock-bottom, but as a conscious choice to prioritize clarity, energy, and leadership. She also speaks honestly about her experience with infertility, and the emotional toll it took on her identity and sense of worth.
Through it all, one thing is clear: this is a woman who is learning to show up for herselfānot perfectly, but powerfully.
š ļø Key Takeaways:
ā¢Self-esteem and self-confidence are not the same. True growth comes from building internal trust, not external validation.
ā¢Reinvention is brave. Walking away from a dream job doesnāt mean failureāit means youāre ready for a new chapter.
ā¢Sobriety isnāt always about hitting rock bottom. Sometimes itās simply choosing to feel better, sleep better, and lead better.
ā¢Infertility is more common than we thinkāand more silently painful. Compassion is key.
ā¢Boundaries protect peace. Especially in seasons of transition.
ā¢Arrogance is not celebrating winsāitās refusing to listen.
ā¢Strength training isnāt just physical. Itās a practice in presence, self-trust, and reclaiming agency over your body.
ā¢Using your voice changes everything. Especially when itās hard.
ā¢We never know what someone is carrying. Compassion matters.
This episode is for every woman who looks like she has it all together but feels like something is missing. Itās for the woman whoās navigating change, rethinking her identity, or quietly asking herself, āIs this still working for me?ā
Itās a conversation about coming home to yourself. About trusting your gut. About letting goānot with fear, but with faith.
Liz Plosser shows us that growth doesnāt always come with a bang. Sometimes, it comes in whispers. In quiet mornings. In the choice t
