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.

I canceled my birthday party a few days before it happened. Everybody was invited. The childcare was booked. And I called the whole thing off.
Not because anything went wrong. Because I asked myself four questions, and by the time I...

My kids planted zinnias, and then they stopped growing. They came through the dirt and just sat there, day after day, doing nothing. I was ready to take a chainsaw to a tree over it...
Last week the Supreme Court ruled seven to two in favor of Bayer-Monsanto, and it changes the rules for anyone who gardens, farms, or eats food grown in this country. Notice they did not go to the highest court in the land to prove Roundup is safe. They went to argue that even if it causes cancer, you are no longer allowed to sue them in your own state for failing to warn you.
In this episode I walk you al...
Don't miss this. This episode comes down on July 1.
The most expensive sentence I've ever said is "I'll start tomorrow." Not because I said it once, but because I said it every day for years, quietly, in the area of my life that mattered most. When I recently asked you on Instagram what keeps you from following through, more than half of you named the same thing I struggled with: procrastination.

You've made good plans before. Plans that made sense. Plans you wanted. And you've watched them fall apart anyway, in the same place they always do.
Sometimes you know exactly what the better move is, and in the moment, you just don't want to do it. Not the binge, not the fight with your husband, not the screw-it-I'll-start-tomorrow. You're not confused about the right answer. You just don't want it.
You know the feeling. What's wrong with me? I just can't. I don't know how. I've tried everything and nothing works for me. It feels like there's no way through.
This week I'm walking you through three things that get you through, every single time. Creativity, specificity, and persistence. I'll show you exactly how they work using three real client conversations: a woman who asked the wrong question about her health while waiting ...
If you've ever watched someone make clean eating look effortless and quietly assumed they were just born with more discipline than you, this episode is going to reframe the whole thing.
Because easier was never about having more willpower. It was about needing it less of...
This week I did something I'd been telling myself for over a year I couldn't do. Not wouldn't. Couldn't. It was too complicated, I didn't know where to start, I didn't have time, and the first time I asked, I got told no.
And then I finally did it. In a matter of weeks.
...Somebody has a million dollars to bet on one person, not the most talented, the most relentless. The one who doesn't quit, who's scrappy, who finds a way when the odds are ugly. They don't get to interview you. They get to watch how you actually live. Would they bet on you?
You're trying to lose weight and the scale has barely moved. You're building something and a year in, it's still not where you need it to be. You're waiting on a hard season to lift, a relationship to heal, a prayer to be answered.
That's waiting. And almost all of us ar...
My husband once told me all the things that irritate him about how I communicate. Too long, wrong topic, bad timing, telling him something he already knows. One day I stopped and said: you've left me no room to succeed. There's no path that works.
Then I realized —...
This might be a bad choice. Might be a great one. Not really sure, but listen either way.
What if the real enemy to your progress isn't your motivation, your plan, or how busy you are — but self-sufficiency? The belief that you should be able to handle this yourself.
In this episode, I name the four disguises self-sufficiency wears in our lives, and wha...
A client walked into Boston with a sentence she was certain was the real story. Aside from my weight, I'm healthy. It wasn't a lie. It was the answer that made every other question stop being a question.
The most tragic conversations I have are with people who believe it's not possible for them.
You already know all-or-nothing thinking is a problem. You've heard it called perfectionism. You've heard "progress not perfection." None of that has stopped it from walloping you year after year.
That's because recognizing the pattern doesn't defend against the pattern....
"I don't have time to take care of myself. I'm taking care of everyone else."
It's the most socially acceptable excuse in the world. Nobody pushes back on it. Nobody questions it. And that's exactly why it's been running your life — and why a part of you already knows it isn't fully true.
In this episode, Elizabeth surgically takes apart the excuse that's been protected by everyone in yo...
