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.

    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: The Consistency Course — If you’re ready to stop starting over and build something that lasts, this is for you.

    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: The Consistency Course - learn more or start today!  LumeBox (red light therapy): Use code ELIZABETHBENTON 💬 Let’s keep the conversation going: Tag me on Instagram @elizabethbenton and share one small discomfort you’re choosing today.

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.
