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.

    1312: Feel Like You're Drowning? You Still Have to Swim

    Episode Summary: In this powerful solo episode, Elizabeth gets real about what it means to feel like you're drowning—in grief, in overwhelm, in apathy—and why that doesn't mean you get to stop. 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. Whether you're spiraling in “I don’t care” or paralyzed by “I don’t know what to do,” this episode will call you up—not out—and show you exactly what it looks like to keep going when you're not sure you can. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why panic makes you sink—and how to stop it The difference between being stuck and choosing stillness The real reason “I don’t care” and “I don’t know what to do” are lies Practical ways to “swim” even in your hardest moments Why resourcefulness is your most underused superpower What Elizabeth tells herself when she’s tempted to shut down Powerful Quotes: “You don’t need all the answers. 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: elizabeth@primalpotential.com Join the Consistency Course See some of EB's Favorite Resources If this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who’s in deep water.

    1307: Blind Spot Culture: What You’re Avoiding is What’s Keeping You Stuck

    🔍 Episode Description: But first! Take the quiz to identify your primary barrier to consistency: primalpotential.com/quiz 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? If you’re stuck in a pattern of inconsistency — start by identifying what’s actually in your way. 👉 Take the free quiz to uncover your #1 barrier to consistency and what to do about it: primalpotential.com/quiz 💬 Loved this episode?

    1306: Do the Work or Wish You Had

    This is your wake-up call. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you’re broken. But because you’re stuck in patterns that are keeping you from the life you say you want. In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise with a direct, no-fluff pep talk for the days you’re tempted to quit, coast, or wait for “later.” Whether you’re in a funk, making excuses, or just need a reminder of what’s at stake — this is for you. You’ll hear about: Why your comfort zone is costing you more than you think The brutal truth about giving yourself “a pass” The mindset that makes success inevitable How every excuse is a vote for the life you don’t want Why change won’t happen until you decide it’s non-negotiable If you keep putting it off, you’re not just delaying the life you want — you’re building regret. You’re either going to do the work, or you’re going to wish you had. 🎧 Listen when you need: A kickstart after falling off track A mindset reset on a low-motivation day A reminder of why your future depends on today’s choices Want to work with me inside The Consistency Course?

    Ever feel like you're arguing with yourself all day long — about getting up early, skipping the snack, following through — and somehow, the wrong voice keeps winning? You're not broken. You're just unprepared. In this episode, I’m bringing you inside the debate team that’s happening inside your head every day — and breaking down why your internal arguments are falling flat... and what to do about it.

We’ll talk about: The 4 major ways we drop the ball in our internal decision-making Why “I said I would” isn’t strong enough to beat a craving How to build a better case for the choices that move you forward Real-life examples (goldfish snacks, alarms, girls’ night wine — we’re going there) What conviction, energy, and preparation actually sound like If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of “I know better but I don’t do better,” this episode is going to feel like a mirror, a wake-up call, and a strategy session — all in one. 💥 Ready to Build a Stronger Case in Your Life? This is the kind of work we do every single day inside The Consistency Course. We don’t just talk about what you should do — we teach you how to follow through.
