CONSISTENT by Primal Potential
Elizabeth Benton
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.

522: Your Questions About Money & Debt
In episode 521 of the podcast, I shared my personal story of becoming debt free. I go into detail about how I started, the process I followed and how I handled struggles like my then-husband not being totally on-board with the idea. I also had my sister on the show - she is currently paying down her debt and overcoming the hurdles of massive student loans and a modest salary. In today's episode I'm answering all your questions about money and debt including: How to start when you've been ignoring your financial situation How to become debt free when you're barely making ends meet How to stick to a budget How to budget for personal indulgences (new clothes, spa treatments, etc) How to handle a spouse who is a spender when you're a saver How to prioritize weight loss while getting out of debt How to eat healthy on a budget How to save and invest at the same time Please note that I am not a financial advisor. I am sharing my experience and personal opinions and I do not purport to be a financial expert. I am not.

521: Get Out of Debt No Matter How Much You Make
Getting out of debt changed my life. I wasn't always good with my money. I didn't make much and I spent more than I took home. Getting out of debt didn't happen quickly and it wouldn't have happened at all if I continued to make excuses and prioritize pleasure over happiness. Last week on Instagram, I asked you guys to vote on which topic you'd rather hear about today: fasting or getting out of debt. Those were the two topics about which I got the most questions and "debt" won by a landslide! Thanks so much to everyone who voted and submitted questions! In today's episode, I'm going to share my personal journey of getting out of debt and answer YOUR questions on all topics money! https://primalpotential.com/521 Resources: Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey DaveRamsey.com Episode 019: What Getting Out of Debt Taught Me About Weight Loss Episode 116: Healthy Eating On A Budget Check out Thrive Market and save big on eating well!

520: Keeping Success Really Simple
Recently, one of my summer clients shared a bit of her transformation with me - she's lost weight, improved her mood, eliminated her cravings and overcome a sugar addiction. I asked if she'd be willing to share some of the steps she took and she's sharing her journey with us today on the podcast! We talk about how to create change without willpower and keep success simple - really, really simple. One of the ideas we discuss on the show that I think you're really going to connection with is: You don't know how bad you feel until you start making yourself feel better. You don't know how much better you can feel until you stop making yourself feel so bad. https://primalpotential.com/520/ Looking to register for the Fall 12 Weeks to Transformation?

518: The Difference Between Failure & Success
"To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." ~ Charlie Munger For most of my life, my only approach to fat loss was more restriction and more deprivation. I was so caught up in the misery of the problem that I wasn't being strategic in my approach. I returned to a strategy, over and over again, that didn't work for me. In today's episode we're going to talk about the common strategies people repeat that don't work as well as alternatives that do work. The goal of today's episode is to help you recognize where you have great intentions but terrible results so you can adjust your approach to one that is both sustainable and effective. https://primalpotential.com/518/ While you're here...

517: Your Fat Is More Than Fat
Your body fat is not inert. It is actually an active, endocrine organ that produces and secretes hormones and inflammatory cytokines. This is one of many reasons that an "eat less, exercise more" approach to fat loss is often ineffective and insufficient. In today's episode we're talking about an approach to health and fat loss that will not only make you feel better, but will improve your health and your body's ability to release and burn stored fat! https://primalpotential.com/517/ Resources: Register for the Fall 2018 12 Weeks to Transformation!

516: September Reset
September is a natural time to check in with yourself and course-correct as needed. Summer is over, the kids are back to school, and the new year is right around the corner. Just this past weekend I sat down with my journal to check-in with myself and my goals. In today's episode I'm sharing the questions I asked myself as well as a webinar from my winter 12 Weeks To Transformation veterans group. In that webinar, we did a quick check of the basics, a quick check of attitude and perspective, and then dove into breaking down one of the major barriers to change: your story about your past and your problems. I'm sharing this because I know it will be a great tool for you as we go into the last season of this year and also because registration for the fall 12 Weeks to Transformation is now open!

514: It's Not A Destination, It's A Decision
If you need some motivation and encouragement, you'll want to listen to today's episode! I was recently talking to an OBGYN client who wanted to know my thoughts and ideas on how she could motivate her patients to take action on the nutrition information she gives them. You might be suprised to hear that I told her that she can't. Yup, I told her that she can't motivate them with information. See, information isn't transformation. Instead, I shared with her how I try to motivate and inspire my clients (without using information to do it). https://primalpotential.com/514/ Looking for the hemp heart crusted spicy chicken fingers recipe?
