CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

🔍 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?

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. If you showed up to debate class with the kinds of excuses and one-liners you use on yourself — you'd get crushed. So why are you trying to win the battle for your goals that way? 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.

We have to stop giving ourselves a pass with vague, soft language. “Emotional eating.” “Self-sabotage.” “Checked out.” “Comfort food.” These phrases sound like awareness — but most of the time, they’re actually avoidance. They’re smokescreens that help us label the pattern without actually examining it. But if we want to get out of the cycle, we’ve got to stop naming things in a way that lets us off the hook. In today’s episode, we’re getting real. I’ll walk you through: Why vague labels keep us stuck How to replace them with specific, honest observations The role clarity plays in breaking patterns And how this one shift alone can change everything — without needing more willpower or motivation If you’ve ever said, “I just keep sabotaging myself,” this one’s for you. 🔥 Mentioned In This Episode: The Consistency Course: Real-time coaching, honest daily practices, and a support system that helps you drop the vague and build the momentum. 📩 Ready for more clarity and momentum?

We’ve been sold a lie that progress has to be painful—and that if we enjoy the path, we’re probably doing it wrong. But what if the opposite is true? In this episode, I’m introducing you to an idea I’m calling 75 Fun—not a challenge, not a reset, but a rhythm. A summer rhythm that actually feels good to live. One that includes strength, rest, play, and connection… without guilt or burnout. We’ll talk about: Why most plans fall apart (hint: they’re miserable) The fear that “ease” means “failure” How I’m designing a life I don’t want to escape from this summer The difference between indulgence and intentional joy What my personal 75 Fun rhythm looks like (and how you can create your own) This isn’t about perfection. It’s not about doing more. It’s about finally creating a life you love to live—one small decision at a time. Mentioned In Today's Episode:  Join me inside The Consistency Course!

You don’t need more time — you need fewer false fires. If you constantly feel like there’s just not enough time, this episode will change the way you see your life — and your to-do list — forever. Inside the Consistency Course, I hear it every day: “Life got busy. I meant to do XYZ. But the day got away from me.” And the problem isn’t laziness or lack of motivation — it’s the fact that we’ve confused pressure for priority. We’ve been taught to answer to what’s loud, urgent, and externally expected. But that kind of pressure has nothing to do with what actually matters to us. In today’s episode, I’ll show you exactly how to stop working in your life — and start working on it. You’ll walk away with tools to clarify your true priorities, protect your time, and reset your habits so they actually reflect what matters most to you. 🔑 In this episode, we’ll unpack: Why pressure screams louder than priority — and how to stop answering it The real difference between “need to” and “want to” — and why that distinction matters Why working in your life is keeping you stuck (and how to start working on your life instead) The simple perspective shift that reveals what’s really urgent — and what’s just noise How to protect your most valuable time — even in a full, chaotic life 🧭 Ask yourself: What are my top three true priorities right now? Do my habits, calendar, and energy reflect those priorities — or not? What needs to change so that they do? 📌 Quote to remember: “You don’t need more time. You need fewer pressures disguised as priorities." “Most people are working in their lives. Very few are working on them.” 💬 Want more support? 📘 Learn more about The Consistency Course 📥 DM your questions to @elizabethbenton on Instagram to be part of a future follow-up episode. 📝 Get the free 20-question workbook at primalpotential.com/consistency-questions If this episode hit home, let me know!

If you’re waiting to feel confident, prepared, or fully equipped before you go after your goal — this episode is your wake-up call. In this raw and honest solo show, I’m sharing lessons from a recent experience hosting the very first gala for the Dagny Foundation — including what it taught me about discomfort, asking for help, scrappy problem-solving, and why we often stay stuck by thinking the same old thoughts. I’ll walk you through the biggest mindset shifts that helped me get through something I didn’t feel ready for — and how those same shifts apply directly to your goals. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, overwhelmed, or afraid to start, this is the conversation you need to hear. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck ✅ How discomfort can actually be a green light for growth ✅ Why asking for help is your power move, not your weakness ✅ Real examples of resourcefulness in action ✅ How to stop thinking inside the same limiting mental box ✅ Why what you’re dreading is almost never as bad as it seems Listener Challenge: Ask for help this week — even if it feels awkward. Do one uncomfortable thing you’ve been avoiding. Brainstorm 3 “stupid” ideas — and act on one of them.

We’ve all done it. Started strong. Felt focused. Made a plan. And then… disappeared on ourselves. We check out. Drift. Ghost our own goals. Not because we don’t care. Not because we’re lazy. But because somewhere along the way, doing the work stopped feeling desirable. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons we stop showing up—and how to finally change the pattern. Because this isn’t just about missing a few days. It’s about rebuilding trust with yourself and learning how to stay—especially when it’s hard. In this episode, we’ll talk about: Why your mindset and your strategy both shape your consistency The subtle beliefs that make not showing up feel easier How “eating your emotions” and “self-sabotage” are keeping you vague and stuck Why you need to practice disappointment (yes, really) What overstimulation is doing to your focus—and how to reset it Why showing up at 2% effort still counts (sometimes, it counts more) You’ll also hear how I use these same principles in my own life—and how we apply them inside The Consistency Course to help people finally stop ghosting their goals. This is one of those episodes you might want to listen to twice—because we’re not just talking about how to show up today. We’re talking about how to stop disappearing for good.

Is AI your new accountability partner… or just another shiny distraction? In this episode, I’m sharing a real, nuanced conversation about the rise of AI tools—how they can support your goals, where they fall short, and why none of it matters if you’re still skipping the root work. I use AI. I love it. It’s smart, fast, and powerful. But I’m seeing more and more people treat it like a replacement for coaching, for community, for consistency—and that’s where things get dangerous. 🔑 We talk about: What AI can help you with (meal plans, workouts, motivation…) Where it completely fails you (especially on your hard days) Why self-awareness still beats strategy every time The truth about “on/off” behavior loops and how AI can make them worse A story about a client who had all the tools—and was still stuck Because here’s the truth: You don’t need more information. You need to become the person who actually follows through. 🧠 This episode will help you: Use AI without outsourcing your self-leadership Spot the patterns that keep you stuck (and call them out) Finally understand why your problem isn’t about the plan—it’s about the practice 🎯 And if you’re tired of ghosting your goals and calling it “life happens”… This is exactly why I created The Consistency Course.

Let’s talk about something a lot of people get wrong. Grace is not the same thing as giving yourself a pass. It’s not pretending the slip didn’t happen, and it’s not code for “oh well, I’ll try again tomorrow.” In this episode, we’re breaking down the critical difference between giving yourself grace and letting yourself off the hook — and why that distinction might be the key to finally building the consistency you’ve been chasing. I’m sharing personal stories, powerful mindset shifts, and a simple way to move forward when things don’t go as planned — without spiraling, shaming, or slipping into all-or-nothing thinking. 🔑 In this episode: A practical definition of real grace (and what it’s not) How to respond to missed goals without making them mean something about you A 3-step process to recalibrate and move forward with purpose How to know when you're actually letting yourself off the hook 🔗 Resources Mentioned: 📘 Free Fat Loss Framework E-Book If you want to lose weight without the all-or-nothing patterns, this is your starting point. 👉 Download here 🎯 The Consistency Course Stop quitting.
