“You are the one that decides what your world is going to look like everyday.”
These powerful words from Lizzie Velásquez ring true to today’s environment and even though this specific interview was recorded before the Covid-19 pandemic, it also applies to your mindset no matter what’s going on!
I was so honored to talk with motivational speaker, Lizzie Velásquez for today’s podcast episode.
Lizzie was born with a rare congenital disease called Marfanoid-progeroid-lipodystrophy syndrome. Her condition has prevented her from accumulating body fat and gaining weight. During her teenage years she faced terrible cyber bullying, which inspired her to share her message to the world as a motivational speaker.
In this episode, Lizzie shares about loving the body she was born in, the challenges she has faced during her lifetime and how they’ve empowered her to speak to audiences around the globe, including in TEDx AustinWomen.
Lizzie also opens up about being vulnerable, showing her authentic self, and having your eyes wide open for opportunities that aren’t very clear.
We also talk about her latest book, Dare To Be Kind and how kindness is such a powerful force to impact people’s lives.
Everyone can learn a thing or two from Lizzie’s inspiring story! Listen to today’s episode to discover how you can change your mindset and be more kind to others.
For the majority of my life, I’ve been passionate and dedicated about changing lives by giving away the very best strategies, tactics, and mindset techniques to help you and your business succeed. Join me as we take this to level 10!

Love u .so inspiring
Lizzie, I applaud you for the important and courageous work you're doing. My parents in their ignorance brought me up to believe that it was rude to stare at people with disabilities. What is a young child supposed to make of this kind of guidance? Well, I believed them and thought that it probably was more appropriate to ignore people with disabilities. Of course I realise today that this reasoning is fundamentally wrong. I also think that, sadly, this kind of guidance creates a breeding ground for misunderstanding and prejudice. In my own life, I sometimes feel as if it allowed for an invisible barrier to develop between myself and people around me with disabilities. I just feel awkward to start a conversation with a person with a disability. With the work you're doing you are breaking down these nonsensical barriers and you bring understanding and appreciation for the true human-ness of people with disabilities. Keep on shining your bright light!
Thank you for introducing us to this tender, strong and inspiring human.
You really seem to know who you are. I admire that.
I love her!!
Inspiration
Kindness should be a process that should be encouraged from the day we are born
Thanks for sharing
I loved this. I didn't expect to watch the whole thing right before work. You're an inspiration, Lizzie. Thanks Tom for introducing her to us.
GOD BLESS YOU LIZZIE 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
