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.

    If you feel like you're constantly falling off track with your goals — whether it's nutrition, fitness, business, or finances — there's a high likelihood you're missing something foundational: 🧱 A framework for flourishing. In this episode, Elizabeth introduces the concept of the trellis — a structure of support that helps you grow, sustain progress, and eliminate the chaos of decision fatigue. You'll learn why structure is not restriction, how to create personal systems that actually reduce resistance, and how to build standards that work in real life (not just in theory). We'll also dive into: Why most people overestimate discipline and underestimate structure How to reframe "rules" and "boundaries" as support — not punishment What it really means to build a trellis for your growth The two biggest mistakes people make when trying to be more consistent The real role of emotional sobriety when resistance shows up Why it's better to keep a small promise than break a bold one Plus, Elizabeth shares personal and client examples — from breakfast routines to alcohol boundaries — to illustrate how building a supportive structure can be both simple and powerful. You don't need to be stricter. You need support. You don't need motivation. You need a trellis. 🚪Ready to Build Your Trellis?

Follow the show: Raising Us: A Parenting Podcast After the holiday season chaos, many families experience an annual reset into a slower winter, leading to occasional bouts of boredom. But what if boredom isn’t something to fix, but something to welcome? Mother of three, author, and founder of The Workspace for Children Lizzie Assa talks with Raising Us host Elise Hu about how to encourage raising confident, resilient kids through boredom and lulls. Lizzie shares how she dealt with her own kids’ boredom, and how being intentional with our time and energy as parents can help our kids thrive. Hear practical tips for reframing and responding to your kids and their boredom. Key Takeaways Incorporate opportunities for play into your everyday spaces, rather than specific places.

    Emotional Sobriety: The Missing Skill That Protects Your Consistency 🚪 Ready to take action? Join The Consistency Course Most people think their inconsistency is a habit problem. But what if it's not? What if the real issue is the thought that gives you permission to abandon your standard? "I'm stressed." "It was a rough day." "I'll get back on track tomorrow."

In this powerful, personal episode, Elizabeth pulls back the curtain on what's really happening when we feel anxious for "no reason" — and shares the neurochemical truth about dopamine, oxytocin, cortisol, and inflammation.
