CONSISTENT by Primal Potential
Why are we so stressed & overwhelmed? Why do we have clear & compelling goals but fail to reach them? How can we want to change so desperately yet make choices that keep us from that change? Because we keep focusing on the habits we want instead of building the skill of consistency that allows us to achieve them. Consistency is a skill. It's a superpower. It isn't one-size-fits all. It unlocks any door and makes every goal achievable. A more effective, realistic approach starts here.

1322: Becoming Formidable — Financially, Physically, Spiritually
In this powerful episode, I’m sharing a message that started with a simple post: “The world needs more men with good intent who are physically, financially, and spiritually dangerous.” But I want to take that message deeper — and broader — to what it means for us as women, as parents, as people who want to live at our fullest potential. 👉 This episode isn’t about causing harm. It’s about becoming so capable, so prepared, so anchored, that you’re dangerous to excuses, to inertia, to anything that keeps you small. If the word dangerous doesn’t sit right, that’s okay. Call it formidable. Call it unstoppable. The mission matters more than the word. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✅ Why becoming financially formidable means building options — not obstacles ✅ What physical formidability really looks like (and why it has nothing to do with vanity) ✅ How spiritual formidability keeps you anchored through life’s storms ✅ How to start small and stay consistent — without dismissing your progress ✅ Why the world needs you maxed out, not playing small Ready to become formidable? 👉 The truth is: the mission isn’t perfection. The mission is consistent action — in your finances, your fitness, your faith. If you’re ready to build the habits that make you unstoppable, join me inside This is where we move from good intentions to real action, together. ➡ Learn more and sign up at

1321: Becoming Harder to Offend: The Truth About Judgment
n this episode, we’re diving deep into something that holds so many of us back: the fear of being judged. Maybe you don’t avoid walking in your neighborhood, but maybe you’ve skipped going to the gym, avoided putting on a swimsuit, or stayed silent in a room because you were worried what someone might think. 👉 Here’s the truth: we all judge. We all get judged. And what matters is what we do with that reality. Today I’m sharing: A client’s honest and beautiful reflection on how fear of judgment kept her from walking outside — and how she’s working to break free of that. How recognizing our own judgment can help soften the sting when we feel judged by others. The critical difference between judgment (observation) and mistreatment (unkindness or discrimination). Why becoming harder to offend is one of the most powerful choices you can make. Tools and mindset shifts you can start practicing today so that fear of judgment doesn’t cost you your joy, your memories, or your goals. 💡 Key takeaway: Recognizing our own judgment softens our offense at others’. The next time you feel judged, pause. Remember: you’ve judged too — and that’s part of being human. What matters is how you show up for your life anyway. Resources Mentioned Let's work together to set you free from the patterns that are keeping your life small.

[Day 5] — The Missing Ingredient: Why You’re Not Meant to Do This Alone Description: We are drowning in advice yet still starving for real, lasting change. And it’s not because we’re lazy. It’s not a willpower issue. Most of the time, it’s not even strategy. It’s a relationship problem. In this final episode of the Pivot Point series, Elizabeth gets personal about the real reason so many of us keep quitting, circling, and spinning our wheels even when we “know better.” We’ve over-indexed on information and under-indexed on support. 💡 You might have 100 people who’ll wish you a happy birthday… but not one person who knows you’re slipping back into old habits. 💡 You might post your goals and get tons of “You’ve got this!” comments… but nobody texting you on Wednesday night when you’re ready to quit. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unsupported, or unsure why you can’t keep going, this episode will speak to you. It’s time to stop doing it all alone and start building the kind of connection that fuels real change. 🔑 In this episode: Why more info ≠ more progress (and what’s really missing) What surface-level connection is costing you The “butt power” lesson from Day 4 and why we abandon too soon A real story about someone stuck in the loop of overlearning and under-implementing How deep relationships, not hype or novelty, drive lasting change Why most of us are only as strong as our best day and how to tap into collective strength instead What to do if you’re an introvert, a solopreneur, or someone who’s “fine doing it alone” 🛠️ Resources & Next Steps: 💬 for today’s episode to go deeper 💡 Want to be seen, supported, and surrounded by others doing the work too?

Day 4: The Myth of Momentum & the Power of Staying You don’t need more motivation. You need more butt power. Yes, butt power. As in: stay on your butt. Don’t escape when it gets hard. Don’t jump ship for something shinier just because this path lost its sparkle. In today’s episode, Elizabeth shares the powerful story of an elementary school teacher who taught her students that the moment they feel stuck is the moment to stay. And how that principle — staying with the thing — might be the single most undervalued key to your consistency. Here’s what we get into: Why novelty isn’t a solution but more often avoidance The difference between energy that comes from hype and energy that comes from habit The illusion of a “new start” when what we really need is follow through How to identify where you keep abandoning what would actually work if you just stayed with it A powerful call to abide: to stay connected to your convictions when the feelings fade 💡 You’re not failing because you’re incapable. You’re just walking away too soon. 🎯 Don’t just listen — do. Grab today’s and walk through where you need to build staying power. And if you’re tired of walking this road alone, the is your place for support, structure, and momentum that lasts.

We rationalize what’s comfortable. We talk ourselves into “one more time” like it’s no big deal. But over and over again, we’re protecting the very behavior that’s holding us back. Inside this episode: Why “familiar” is not the same thing as “neutral” The hidden cost of being “right” in the moment A powerful lens to recognize when a pattern needs to be broken — even if the choice seems harmless The one question you must ask when justifying a pattern 🔥 This is the kind of honesty that moves the needle.

1315: The Silent Trap of a Productive Life
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful and uncomfortable truth: you can be incredibly productive and still be wildly ineffective. If you’ve ever felt like your days are full but your life feels stuck — this is for you. I’m drawing inspiration from — a book where the devil teaches his apprentice how to keep someone distracted from living a meaningful, intentional life. One of the strategies? Keep them trapped in their to-do list. Make them believe that daily logistics are real life — and never let them question it. We’re talking about: The danger of mistaking motion for progress How the “secondary” quietly replaces the “primary” Why the tasks that feel urgent often aren't important How to reframe your days around what truly matters This isn’t about doing less — it’s about making room for what’s real.

1314: Addicted to Novelty: How Chasing "New" Nearly Crushed My Business (And My Health)
📋 Episode Summary: In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story — one that almost cost me my business, sabotaged my health, and left me emotionally flat: my addiction to novelty. I chased the next new thing like it was the answer to everything — and for a while, it felt like momentum. But the truth? It was misdirection. Whether it’s in weight loss, business, or life, we’ve been conditioned to confuse excitement with effectiveness. And when the emotional high of “new” wears off, we think we’re off track. We’re not. This episode is your reminder that consistency will always beat novelty — when you let it. 🧠 What You'll Learn: Why chasing the “next new thing” feels like progress — but usually isn’t How emotional flatness isn’t failure — it’s feedback The difference between pushing and precision How to identify the “novelty trap” in your own life What sustainable progress actually looks and feels like Why you might be mistaking emotional withdrawal for being “off track” Questions to ask when you’re tempted to start over… again 💥 Power Phrases from This Episode: “Novelty gives you a hit but mastery gives you freedom.” “Progress isn’t about being emotionally high it’s about being directionally right.” “You’re not addicted to results, you’re addicted to change.” “You’re building a system, not chasing a feeling.” “Consistency isn’t built by flair, it’s built by follow-through.” ✨ Mentioned Inside: — Want to talk about how this applies to your goals?

1313: The Known Zone: You’re Not Actually Comfortable
We love to call it a comfort zone, but let’s be honest — if you were truly comfortable, you wouldn’t be emailing me, considering a change, or listening to this podcast. What we call the “comfort zone” is almost never comfortable. It’s just known. Predictable. Familiar. And that’s a trap. In this episode, I’m walking you through a powerful coaching conversation I had with someone on the fence about making a change. She thought she was afraid to leave her comfort zone… but what she was really bumping up against was the exposure of wanting more. We’re getting into: Why what we label as comfort is often just familiarity The real reason you might be afraid to change (and what you’re already missing out on) How your current fear might just be a red triangle in the storybook Zoom — you’re too close to it to see what it really is And most importantly, I’m sharing three practical ways to get out of the known zone and into forward momentum: Make small changes — simple disruptions to your routines build pattern-breaking momentum Create strategic disappointment — practice saying “no” in low-stakes moments so the harder ones don’t knock you down Choose intentional vulnerability — share the thing you’d rather not share; say the thing you usually skip over This isn’t about overhauling your life. It’s about doing one thing differently — and letting it open the door to change. 💡 Mentioned in this episode: 💬 Let’s keep the conversation going: Tag me on Instagram and share one small discomfort you’re choosing today.

With raw stories from parenting, business, and everyday life, she dismantles the lies we believe when we're stuck and reminds us that swimming doesn't require strength—it just requires movement.

You just need your next question.” “If you didn’t care, it wouldn’t feel like a problem.” “No one is coming to swim for you. But help is everywhere if you reach for it.” “The very feeling that makes you feel stuck is the very reason you need to do something.” Resources & Links: Email Elizabeth: If this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who’s in deep water.

🔍 Episode Description: But first! Take the quiz to identify your primary barrier to consistency: Let’s talk about what you’re avoiding — the scale, the check-in, the budget, the truth. Not because you don’t know… but because you don’t want to face it. In this episode, we dive into Blind Spot Culture — the subtle but powerful way we avoid clarity and call it "grace" or "self-care" while continuing to drift. Whether it’s telling yourself food is comfort, or skipping your check-in because “you already know it was a bad week,” this kind of avoidance is robbing you of the change you say you want. We’ll unpack: What blind spots really are (hint: they’re not about ignorance) Why we avoid feedback, mirrors, and metrics How “comfort” habits like overeating are masking deeper needs What it’s actually costing you to avoid facing the truth Simple ways to break free from the patterns that are keeping you stuck If you're ready to stop drifting and finally build momentum, this episode is a must-listen. 🧠 Key Takeaways: Avoidance isn’t protection — it’s a trap. The truth doesn’t get more painful when you face it — it gets more useful. Food, distractions, and "grace" are often just blind spots in disguise. The moment you look is the moment you take your power back. 🎯 Ready to Break the Cycle?

We have to stop giving ourselves a pass with vague, soft language. “Emotional eating.” “Self-sabotage.” “Checked out.” “Comfort food.” These phrases sound like awareness — but most of the time, they’re actually avoidance. They’re smokescreens that help us label the pattern without actually examining it. But if we want to get out of the cycle, we’ve got to stop naming things in a way that lets us off the hook. In today’s episode, we’re getting real. I’ll walk you through: Why vague labels keep us stuck How to replace them with specific, honest observations The role clarity plays in breaking patterns And how this one shift alone can change everything — without needing more willpower or motivation If you’ve ever said, “I just keep sabotaging myself,” this one’s for you. 🔥 Mentioned In This Episode: : Real-time coaching, honest daily practices, and a support system that helps you drop the vague and build the momentum. 📩 Ready for more clarity and momentum?

1302: The Real Reason You’re Stuck: Pressure Screams, Priority Whispers
You don’t need more time — you need fewer false fires. If you constantly feel like there’s just not enough time, this episode will change the way you see your life — and your to-do list — forever. Inside the Consistency Course, I hear it every day: “Life got busy. I meant to do XYZ. But the day got away from me.” And the problem isn’t laziness or lack of motivation — it’s the fact that we’ve confused pressure for priority. We’ve been taught to answer to what’s loud, urgent, and externally expected. But that kind of pressure has nothing to do with what actually matters to us. In today’s episode, I’ll show you exactly how to stop working in your life — and start working on it. You’ll walk away with tools to clarify your true priorities, protect your time, and reset your habits so they actually reflect what matters most to you. 🔑 In this episode, we’ll unpack: Why pressure screams louder than priority — and how to stop answering it The real difference between “need to” and “want to” — and why that distinction matters Why working in your life is keeping you stuck (and how to start working on your life instead) The simple perspective shift that reveals what’s really urgent — and what’s just noise How to protect your most valuable time — even in a full, chaotic life 🧭 Ask yourself: What are my top three true priorities right now? Do my habits, calendar, and energy reflect those priorities — or not? What needs to change so that they do? 📌 Quote to remember: “You don’t need more time. You need fewer pressures disguised as priorities." “Most people are working in their lives. Very few are working on them.” 💬 Want more support? 📘 Learn more about 📥 DM your questions to to be part of a future follow-up episode. 📝 Get the free 20-question workbook at If this episode hit home, let me know!

1301: Don’t Feel Ready? Why Resourcefulness Beats Readiness Every Time
If you’re waiting to feel confident, prepared, or fully equipped before you go after your goal — this episode is your wake-up call. In this raw and honest solo show, I’m sharing lessons from a recent experience hosting the very first gala for the Dagny Foundation — including what it taught me about discomfort, asking for help, scrappy problem-solving, and why we often stay stuck by thinking the same old thoughts. I’ll walk you through the biggest mindset shifts that helped me get through something I didn’t feel ready for — and how those same shifts apply directly to your goals. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, overwhelmed, or afraid to start, this is the conversation you need to hear. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck ✅ How discomfort can actually be a green light for growth ✅ Why asking for help is your power move, not your weakness ✅ Real examples of resourcefulness in action ✅ How to stop thinking inside the same limiting mental box ✅ Why what you’re dreading is almost never as bad as it seems Listener Challenge: Ask for help this week — even if it feels awkward. Do one uncomfortable thing you’ve been avoiding. Brainstorm 3 “stupid” ideas — and act on one of them. Links & Mentions: .

1300: Ghosting Your Goals - And How to Stop

1300: Ghosting Your Goals - And How to Stop
We’ve all done it. Started strong. Felt focused. Made a plan. And then… disappeared on ourselves. We check out. Drift. Ghost our own goals. Not because we don’t care. Not because we’re lazy. But because somewhere along the way, doing the work stopped feeling desirable. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons we stop showing up—and how to finally change the pattern. Because this isn’t just about missing a few days. It’s about rebuilding trust with yourself and learning how to stay—especially when it’s hard. In this episode, we’ll talk about: Why your mindset and your strategy both shape your consistency The subtle beliefs that make not showing up feel easier How “eating your emotions” and “self-sabotage” are keeping you vague and stuck Why you need to practice disappointment (yes, really) What overstimulation is doing to your focus—and how to reset it Why showing up at 2% effort still counts (sometimes, it counts more) You’ll also hear how I use these same principles in my own life—and how we apply them inside The Consistency Course to help people finally stop ghosting their goals. This is one of those episodes you might want to listen to twice—because we’re not just talking about how to show up today. We’re talking about how to stop disappearing for good.

1299: How AI Can (and Can’t) Help You Reach Your Goals
Is AI your new accountability partner… or just another shiny distraction? In this episode, I’m sharing a real, nuanced conversation about the rise of AI tools—how they can support your goals, where they fall short, and why none of it matters if you’re still skipping the root work. I use AI. I love it. It’s smart, fast, and powerful. But I’m seeing more and more people treat it like a replacement for coaching, for community, for consistency—and that’s where things get dangerous. 🔑 We talk about: What AI can help you with (meal plans, workouts, motivation…) Where it completely fails you (especially on your hard days) Why self-awareness still beats strategy every time The truth about “on/off” behavior loops and how AI can make them worse A story about a client who had all the tools—and was still stuck Because here’s the truth: You don’t need more information. You need to become the person who actually follows through. 🧠 This episode will help you: Use AI without outsourcing your self-leadership Spot the patterns that keep you stuck (and call them out) Finally understand why your problem isn’t about the plan—it’s about the practice 🎯 And if you’re tired of ghosting your goals and calling it “life happens”… This is exactly why I created . It’s time to stop starting over. Let’s build the skill together.

1298: Grace vs. Letting Yourself Off the Hook

It’s not pretending the slip didn’t happen, and it’s not code for “oh well, I’ll try again tomorrow.” In this episode, we’re breaking down the critical difference between giving yourself grace and letting yourself off the hook — and why that distinction might be the key to finally building the consistency you’ve been chasing. I’m sharing personal stories, powerful mindset shifts, and a simple way to move forward when things don’t go as planned — without spiraling, shaming, or slipping into all-or-nothing thinking. 🔑 In this episode: A practical definition of real grace (and what it’s not) How to respond to missed goals without making them mean something about you A 3-step process to recalibrate and move forward with purpose How to know when you're actually letting yourself off the hook 🔗 Resources Mentioned: 📘 Free Fat Loss Framework E-Book If you want to lose weight without the all-or-nothing patterns, this is your starting point. 👉 🎯 The Consistency Course Stop quitting.

We’ve all been there — an emotion hits hard, and before we even realize it, we’ve abandoned our plan, quit on the day, or convinced ourselves that we’re off track. But what if there’s another way?

1296: Hard Isn’t the Headline—How to Reorient and Stay Anchored When Life Gets Chaotic

1296: Hard Isn’t the Headline—How to Reorient and Stay Anchored When Life Gets Chaotic
We all have moments where everything feels hard—parenting, food choices, work, motivation. But what if the real problem isn’t the hard? What if it’s the headline we keep writing about it? In this episode, we’re talking about how your internal headlines, orientation, and daily anchors shape your progress—or your struggle. Because it’s not just about effort. It’s about direction. And if you’re not tethered to the right things, you will drift. 💥 In this episode, I’ll show you: Why “this is hard” might be the most disempowering headline you can carry How to reorient yourself toward the person you want to become (instead of defaulting to the person you’ve practiced being) The powerful metaphor of the barn rope in a snowstorm—and why you need a tether too How to rewrite your mental headlines to pursue results, not relief 🔁 Core Themes: 📰 1. Hard Doesn’t Have to Be the Headline If you always lead with “this sucks” or “this is hard,” you’re subconsciously anchoring yourself to the need for relief. That’s why you check out, scroll, snack, or quit. But hard doesn’t have to define your day—or your identity. 🧭 2. Reorient Before You React Most of us aren’t stuck—we’re just disoriented. We say we want change but keep facing the direction of comfort, distraction, or fear. Progress starts with a pivot. Reorientation is a practice—not a one-time fix. 🪢 3. Tether Yourself to Prevent Drift Life is a blizzard. Without an intentional tether, you’ll get lost. Whether it’s a weekly check-in, a journaling habit, or a goal review—you need something to hold onto when you’re steps away from quitting. ✨ Quotes Worth Repeating: “When hard is the headline, we start subconsciously looking for relief instead of results.” “You don’t need to try harder. You need to reorient.” “The tether keeps you from drifting when the storm rolls in.” 🧰 Resources Mentioned: : Includes mindset and strategy tools that expand on this episode. : Your full framework for staying anchored, even when life feels chaotic. : Free videos and deeper dives beyond the podcast. 💬 Join the Conversation: What’s your current headline? Are you oriented toward possibility, or stuck staring at the past? DM me on Instagram or reply to this episode to share your story. Let’s keep the conversation going.
